Great service , very friendly! Our food was served so fast. The place has a lot of character, with lots of interesting things to buy (wine, kitchen supplies). We ordered the bagel lox and ham and cheese sandwich. The bread was a little bit chewy but the flavor was good!! read more

Friendly service and tasty food. I haven't tried all the prepped food yet but the bbq pork sandwich was hearty and satisfying. Looking forward to try more of their items in the future and support local small business in the neighborhood. read more

Lovely Saturday and we wanted to walk in Madison. Of course you need coffee right before that and we spontaneously stopped at Madison Kitchen! What a lovely find! I can highly recommend it. Their cookies and coffee are great! Very friendly staff and quick to order! You can even buy more delicious food inside. So everyone will find something here for sure. Great outdoor seating and heaters outside for more chilly days! read more

Fantastic food & friendly service. Delicious sandwiches, salads, prepped meals, coffee, cookies and cute retail items. Outdoor seating is covered and comfortable with heaters when it's cool outside. Love this place! read more

Cute neighborhood cafe with a full case of freshly baked goods to greet you when you walk through the door. No indoor seating, but they have a covered seating area with overhead space heaters outside, which was much appreciated on this near-freezing morning I visited. I ordered a 12 oz mocha and was pleased that it was not overly sweet or too piping hot to sip on as I enjoyed my strawberry scone. Unlike many scones I've had elsewhere, this one wasn't dense, but rather airy and moist on the inside. I loved that they used fresh strawberries, and the course sugar on top added a pleasantly sweet crunch to every bite. Prices were a bit steep (almost $10 for coffee and a pastry) but reasonable in light of inflation and the quality and portion size. And I much prefer supporting a local bakery than a large chain coffee shop. read more

If you ever want a thanksgiving meal that is out of this world good...try it here! This business delivers the results. Order in advance and pick up the day before thanksgiving. Do yourself a favor and order a pie for dessert, homemade with love. . I have a photo of one of our plates with the food. read more

Madison Kitchen - From reheating the meal and plating it here for a single serving. - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Lovely convenience shop with an excellent lunch and breakfast menu. Everyone was very nice and there's covered outdoor seating.

Sandwiches, muffins, cookies, coffee, no complaints. Good stuff. Been going here for about 9 years. Service has declined so horrifically. Staff act as though all customers are a bother--specifically the younger cashier. Audibly sighing, cutting me off mid order. I've been putting up with it because of the good food. But last time I went in the barista was so egregiously rude and condescending to two patrons who were Mexican. They had been waiting too long for food (45 min)--their service toward everyone else was remarkably different despite all customers being nice. Food tastes good but the staff attitudes leave a sour aftertaste. TLDR go here if you're okay with good food coated in guilt and sprinkles of degradation. read more

I was looking for an Italian Cream Cake - my mom used to make it for special occasions and this was the only place I could find one. But everything looked so good, I threw in a Carrot Cake for good measure. When I picked them up, we grabbed some yummy chocolate chip cookies that were still warm! (Can you see I have an impulse control issue?) Anyway... the cakes were AMAZING. I am sort of a cake connoisseur, I get around the Seattle cake community (ummm, A LOT) and MK's cakes are top tier, every bit as good as any I've had! I'm plotting my next visit, but when you end up buying TWO cakes every time, you sort of need to space out the visits a bit. Breakfast and lunch look amazing, as well as the Kouign Amans I've seen on Instagram. I wish I lived closer... but living further away helps with my impulse control! read more

My favorite place to grab lunch on a sunny day. Parking is plentiful, there's 6-7 outdoor tables outside to sit / eat and the wait to get your food is fairly quick! I highly suggest grabbing lunch here then making your way to Madison Park to sit and eat! I always get the Madison St. Special sandwich (reminds me of thanksgiving in a sandwich- Turkey, cranberry sauce, cheese, sliced apples and lettuce). When you get the sandwich whole, it will come with a bag of chips. There's also an option to get 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad or sides of your choice. There's a plethora of wonderful sides to choose from: beet salad, broccoli salad (with bacon and raisins), fruit salad, Asian sesame salad, curried chicken salad, roasted cauliflower & gemelli salad (MUST GET) etc. Always a hard choice to choose! Sandwich options are the same- so many options! Then there's soups, mac 'n cheese, quiche, lasagna, meatloaf, green goddess chicken. Am I overwhelming you yet? With so many food options, Madison Kitchen also sells goodies- tote bags, candles, soaps, fragrances, scarves and even little treasures that makes for great gifts! I highly recommend just trying this cafe for lunch! They close at 3pm typically so make sure you keep that in mind if you plan to come for late lunch! read more

One of the best coffee shops in the area! I've traveled all over the country, this place makes you feel right at home. Very professional and could not ask for better service. First day I was here, Ali and Jess were working. These ladies make an awesome team among with the crew in the back. The one place on my trip I did not mind spending all my money. This place is the best way to start your day, all the food is made to order with fresh ingredients. If I ever win the lottery, I want to purchase this place. I was hooked on the cookies and the deli. Best café latte ever. Keep up the good work and I'll be back read more

This review is long overdue. I just had the greatest breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time. The food is always super fresh and tasty. The staff are always so nice. Ice water station always fully stocked and a great little seating area outside. read more

Madison Kitchen - Breakfast sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Terrible service. They have basically taken over the sidewalk and parking spots to create more space for their bakery/store. They don't even allow you to stand inside their store while waiting and expect you to wait outside in the cold- very rude. read more

My earlier review is still accurate. With really no competition in Madison Park, the service remains cold, rude, and depending on the day totally incompetent. They also seem to be doing you the customer a giant favor. Pouring a cup of drip coffee is such a chore. Making a latte is a hardship apparently. It's incredibly off-putting. Only a quick grin/intense stare when it's your turn to decide on a tip. The coffee and baked goods are good. Limited real food menu is fine. Still dealing with the folks behind the counter- ugh. read more

Yummy sandwiches. Lots of yummy sandwiches and coffee. I haven't eaten any pastries yet but heard lots of good things about. Must try

I ordered the hot meat loaf sandwich, panini grilled like the good old days before that convection oven came along, garnished with tomato jam, cartelized onions, and provolone cheese, and served with a bag go Tim's Cascade potato chips. Yummy! I can't wait for my next visit. The service was friendly and smiling, the ambiance makes you want to return and explore. I highly recommend Madison Kitchen, in Madison Park, Seattle/U.S.A. read more

Baked goods are still AOK. I used to be a frequent customer. 3/1/24 - sandwich was terrible. Dried bread, missing key ingredients altogether. Would not return. read more

I loved loved loved my sandwich I ordered but the only reason I gave 4 stars was because my boyfriend's lox bagel had hardly any salmon on it and it was $16. Pretty disappointed with that. But the other things we ordered were great! read more

Tasty baked goods, excellent salads, and wonderful service makes for a pleasant experience. No indoor seating, but it's ok because I take my goodies to go. I'm absolutely addicted to their curry chicken salad read more

I've been coming here for years and the breakfast was always amazing. Three times in a row now the eggs are over cooked and they didn't add avocado even though they are charging me extra for it. The people working there used to be truly amazing. They were charming and genuinely friendly. Now this place is staffed with condescending politeness. But the food is most important, please just get that right! read more

Food Inflation or overpriced? This place is no longer my go to. Especially with the superiority complex of the the owner and staff. Get over yourself, its a sandwich shop. Not what it used to be. read more

Maybe I didn't order the right thing but my grilled meatloaf sandwich ($11) was just ok. The tomato jam was way too sweet and overpowered the rest of the ingredients. It's cute and dog friendly though so I will give it another try. read more

Madison Kitchen - Grilled meatloaf sandwich whole $11 - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sweet little cafe worth dragging yourself out to Madison Park for. Right on the main street, the Madison Kitchen serves as a cozy new breakfast and lunch spot in this out of the way neighborhood. I'm always on the lookout for a weekday breakfast spot, and although simple and tending towards baked goods, it is officially worth a drive across town for their breakfast sandwich w/egg. Their bakers breakfast comes with a baked item of your choice, a enormous bowl of fresh fruit topped with a petite ice cream sized scoop of rich yogurt and a coffee. I went with a group who ordered this up in quantities, either getting it with some fresh baked scones or in one case, settling on a dark, delicious chocolate egg-white meringue. The black sheep always nails it, because that darn chocolate meringue was terrific and fresh, so much so that you might be willing to rewrite your breakfast rules to include it. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with a very garlicky aioli and a perfectly cooked oozy medium egg. I almost drove back to get it the following day. It was good. This is a small, popular cafe, and the breakfast here is simple, but respectable and solid: breakfast sandwiches, homemade granola, fresh baked items and oatmeal. Seating is limited and service is not particularly speedy. When we first arrived, the lone server seemed overwhelmed by the influx of customers, but soon after the owner (or chef?) arrived and the hospitality was taken up a notch and proved attentive. Later visits for dessert sampling proved exceedingly tasty, we especially like the Naniamo bar and the shortbread bar with chocolate, tahini and pistachios. Feels like a neighborhood spot. Clearly inconsistent, given some of the other reviews, but we've been several times and had a consistently good experience. read more

Good americano and blueberry scone. Nice people, cute cafe, but with limited seating. Nice neighborhood vibe.

The little menu has great offerings. Had the Yukon frittata, perfect serving and enjoyable. The coffee was a good pairing. My only mistake was thinking it would have cafe-like seating. (My bad) I'm sure it did before Covid. read more

Madison Park Kitchens Breakfast Sandwich, original always my favorite. (You can add bacon and avocado), but why mess with perfection?

Is this a joke? $15 sandwhich? Gluten free yes, delicious no. And then we get the only chips that have gluten in them. Just cause you're in mad park doesn't mean you can pull this nonsense off. read more

Madison Kitchen - A tiny tiny tiny sandwhich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Where nobody knows your name. This place lucked out gaining business over the last several weeks because the local Starbucks was closed for renovations. You'd think they would have worked harder to keep up that business. I went in every.single.day and ordered the.exact.same.thing - never did they learn my name. There are only two people that work the register, neither one bothered to make a connection, give good customer service, nothing. What a shame. I am happy that Starbucks has reopened. They know my name there. Madison Kitchen - take notes from the big store competition you most likely despise, they are doing it better than you. read more

Such a gem. Freshly baked pastries every morning, and awesome coffee - Illy Cafe how can you go wrong, and a fantastic selection of salads and menu items that can be prepped like Mac and Cheese, and Meatloaf and so much more. Menu rotates and it never disappoints. Why get a day old pastry that was delivered the night before at that corporate coffee place when you could have fresh baked that morning pastry goodness here? Duh! It's a no brainer decision. There is a daily gluten free muffin option and sometimes a GF cookie option as well. Did I mention the made to order breakfast sandwiches? Awesome Unicorn flavor festival for your taste buds to start your day. 'Nuf said. This place is the real deal. read more

I've been here twice so far. I've order the meatball sandwich, vanilla ice cream, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookie. Everything except for the oatmeal raisin was amazing! I've never been a fan of oatmeal raisin, so I can't knock the one they have. The team is also very welcoming, so I'll definitely recommend them whenever you visit the Madison Park area. read more

Great avocado toast and breakfast sandwich! The avo toast was on really nice seeded sourdough and the egg was nice and crispy. It came with a sort of relish which I thought was a nice acidic touch. Breakfast sandwich came with egg Swiss and bacon-yum. Latte was fine too! read more

Used to really enjoy coming here and just don't anymore. Staff is all turned over, which happens. They were cordial but not how the previous team was. Never was crazy about dining all being forced outside. Too many dog owners that think everyone loves their animals as much as they do. Not the restaurant's fault but with no indoor dining, the only option is outside. Always running out of baked goods by 10:00. It's a pass now, I just opt for Starbucks. read more

It is located across from Madison Park, the water, and convenient businesses nearby. I brought the kids to the park and decided to grab a few bites from here. Meatloaf Sandwich, Salmon Cake, Madison St Special, and a Carrot Cake were on our list of eats. It was decent, with clearly hardworking employees. 3 stars doesn't mean it's bad or not worth a visit. It's good here, and I'll be coming back. read more

Best thing I can say is staff was very friendly. I was in a hurry and apparently this place is very busy on the regular. I asked for the quickest meal option possible because I couldn't and didn't want to wait. The gal said a meatloaf sandwich and grabbed one for me. Paid $13 plus $2 tip, $15 total, grabbed my sandwich and quickly hurried out. Went back to the office to eat my "meatloaf" sandwich and opened up a roast beef sandwich. To me this place is overpriced and overrated. Sandwich was so so. Nothing special by any means. The high pricing is due to location in Madison Park. Really don't recommend. read more

I order breakfast from here several times a week and it's a super consistent, enjoyable experience

I have been here a number of times and would have given the place a solid 3-stars, before, but given their adaptation to the current pandemic, I would drop the rating to 2-stars. First I want to state that the employees are all wonderful. Every time I have been they are kind, hard working and remember my name. The food is very expensive is a little bit hit and miss. Generally things are decent. I like the Reuben, which comes with a generous amount of meat. They have gluten-free options, which are always a plus. The frittata is decent but needs salt and is generally a little underwhelming. Would have been nice with feta or something to add a little tang and dimension. The quiche is absolutely not for me.... I've had it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke (and also because of limited options). Both times there were a few bites of ham toward the bottom crust, but overall it was essentially just a heavy cream egg custard pie- almost inedible. I like rich foods but there needs to be some complexity or balance to something so heavy, and this had none. I would say it was the worst quiche I have ever had, which is a shame at their price point. And that brings me to the next subject- the cost. MK is located in an area where their clientele is predominately wealthy folks who don't worry about their checkbooks but it is almost blisteringly expensive for my tastes: a quiche, frittata and small salad was 35 bucks with tip. The salad was ok, impressively MK has managed to keep their bacon crispy even in a wet salad, although the salad itself was extremely sweet. The reason for two stars is due to a lack of ability to manage during the pandemic. We waited outside. Everyone was confused about what to do. Once we were able to go in and order we wound up waiting 30 minutes to get an extremely burned americano. The espresso is usually delicious here, so it was a great disappointment. I wound up throwing it out because I didn't have time to wait for another one. I'm glad they seem to be doing well, during these difficult times, but sadly I don't think I'll be back. read more

How I heard of this place: A friend wanted to get together for a small bite before heading to a café or tea house to indulge in a sweet treat and a cup of warm-something on a rainy, grey, Seattle spring day. She suggested Madison Kitchen. Type of cuisine: A simple, yet very Seattle selection of breakfast sandwiches, paninis/grilled sandwiches and soups/salads and house-made pastries. Ambiance: Simple and sweet, the awning in front covering the minimalist patio space under the trees lining the sidewalk, nearly masking the floor-to-ceiling street-facing windows. Indoors, a cozy charm surrounds with the wooden accents and glass drop lighting. Limited seating is found throughout, along the right wall and at the entryway to allow space for those placing orders at the walk-up counter, alongside displays of salads, pastries and the coffee bar. What I ordered: Ready for a sweet treat on this dreary day, I couldn't pass up the bars they are known for, but had to sample more! I started with a chocolate chip cookie ($2) to eat at the establishment, while my friend and dining companion had a Salad Trio for lunch: including the roasted beets, faro salad, and broccoli slaw. To take away, I selected the S'mores bar ($3.25), and the Gluten-Free Chocolate Pecan Cookie ($3.25). Just before we left, my friend picked up an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie for her beau, and the Tahini-Pistachio Shortbread for us to nibble on as we ended our conversation and made our way out. What I loved: The abundance of chocolate chips in the cookie! The beauty of the large bars, and the creativity of the Tahini-Pistachio bar: the texture and flavor of halva, and flaky goodness of shortbread paired perfectly with soft dark chocolate and the crunch of pistachios. But my stand-out favorite was the Gluten Free Chocolate Pecan Cookie. Why I loved it: Simple elegance, a diverse crowd of neighbors, colleagues and people of all ages. Cost: Average ($2 - $5 per treat) read more
