    Chicken Parm Dip
    Vicki S.

    I ate lunch at the new Mendocino Farms location in the University Village and I was impressed with how friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful all the employees seemed to be. Especially because it was during the lunch rush and you can see that many of the order takers are still being trained, but I love seeing how they are able to keep calm under the pressure of the long lines and professionally answer all the myriad of questions by some impatient customers. My lunch date and I ordered lemonades, an Heirloom BLT, and a Chicken Parm Dip. We chose an inside table to sit at instead of their outdoor patio, we placed our order number on the table, and waited for our food which actually came out pretty quickly. Our food and drinks tasted fresh and delicious. The quality of the ingredients seemed to be great. I look forward to trying more of their sandwiches and salad options. I think Mendocino Farms is a fantastic new restaurant option at U Village. Make sure you sign up on their website to receive a limited "Free Entree with Any Purchase" coupon!!! :-)

    The Turkey Avo Salsa Verde is a fav!

    We've tried the new U-Village location a couple of times now and it's been consistently good. The outdoor seating is nice. Right now there is a lot of friendly and attentive staff. My favorite sandwich is the Turkey Avocado Salsa Verde. The "not so fried" chicken sandwich is also good. My wife loves the chimichurri steak sandwich which comes with a tasty onion jam. It a good spot for a quick and consistently good sandwich.

    It's been a while since we've been here and it's now $15.99 for a sandwich!! Realized as I write…read morethis that I specified to have it cute in half and it was not. The no pickles or lard were adhered to at least. Got a mild heat level and it was a little spicy. What we got did not look like my original photos. Smaller portion, but still filling. Pricey. We also got fries and the lil chickie sliders (no lard, no pickles) at a medium heat level and I guess my partner thought the sliders would be a little bigger than they were - similar to regular sandwich portion - they were small...maybe tiny tender size. I couldn't see em before she ate em. Overall no complaints. The fries size was good. A little seasoned. $36.32 for sliders, sandwich and fries + tax. Standard are for a meal for two, but it felt expensive being al la carte. We ordered online and they were timely in getting the food out for pick up. It's in a shared space with Rachel's Ginger Beer, so the pick up area is a little hidden, but it's out of the way from ordering from the main space. Parking is shared with U Village and can sometimes be tricky as it's usually very busy.

    Thought it was pretty good and the seasoning was nice, I've never had daikon in a chicken sandwich…read moreor slider before but it added a nice crunch and flavor. Kind of reminded me of pickles but I think a lot of people who don't like pickles might prefer this! Service was so nice, asked if I had been before and it was my first time so I received a 10% discount. That being said it is on the pricier side, a regular chicken sandwich is ~$16 and the sliders were ~$11. Aside from the sauce in the sandwich, other sauces are 99 cents each, not sure about the amount you receive. There weren't any combos, as far as I'm aware, so a side of fries is also extra. The restaurant is combined w a drinks spot, it's pretty cozy inside and the decorations were very nice.

    I've been coming to this UVillage cafe every summer when I visit Seattle. The vibe is so fun and…read moreclassy. The food and coffee always so yummy. So I'm sad to see the decline in this establishment. Upon entering I immediately noticed the worn upholstery in the booths. A serious makeover is needed. So trashy. But I get it times are hard. My food arrived on a chipped plate - time to throw it away folks. The counter server was very friendly as normal so that's a definite plus. However the BLT I ordered looked like they threw all the ingredients on the toast with no real prep. The tomato jam was not jam but pieces huge chunks too big to eat. While I'm glad they aren't skimping on the ingredients it was piled so high that it was challenging to eat. I ended up eating it in pieces with my fork and as such lost the tastiness of a combination of the flavors as it quickly became a deconstructed mess. A huge plus - the Seattle Fog was probably the best "London" fog I've ever had !!! Bravo. Not sure I'll come back again this visit. Maybe I'll check it next summer to see if improvements have been made.

    I have been going to the Mr West downtown for many years and finally had the chance to check out…read morethe U village location. They have so much outdoor seating, on both sides of the cafe, which I really like. Way more than downtown. Food came out super quick too. My go to order has always been the Mr Breakfast plate, it's super hearty and full of great breakfast foods. However, the price has increased exponentially and quality has definitely gone down. I used to pay around $15 for this plate and it included bacon and now it's $17 + an extra $4 to add 2 pieces of bacon. (The bacon is totally worth it though). The potatoes recipe need to be completely refined, or they need to offer a substitution option for them. They are overly soft and they don't have nearly enough seasoning. That was the only thing that remained on my plate when I was done! and the soft boiled egg tasted a little off to me, like it had been sitting for a bit long. Other than that, the Turkish eggs and chopped chicken salad were very fresh and good. Staff were super nice when ordering at the counter, coffees and pastries were good as well. Overall I will come back here, just would like to see some quality changes with the Mr Breakfast as it used to be very good.

    Great ambiance and pastries, but the coffee and service are just average…read more I got an americano ($4) and a mocha ($6) -- nothing that stands out, especially given how many excellent coffee spots Seattle has to offer. The food selection is solid: sandwiches, hearty breads, and a variety of desserts. I tried the brioche and the pistachio tart. The brioche was forgettable, but the pistachio tart was genuinely delicious. It's the first thing I'm ordering on my next visit. Seating is more generous than it looks. There's an outdoor patio and a second floor, so you can usually find a spot. Nice weather? Go for the patio. Need to focus? The corner seats upstairs are your best bet.

It was pretty good. This place is beautiful and had a very nice flow. One door exclusive for entrance leads you to all the yummy looking bread and pastries, followed by sandwiches and desserts. Then you get to the counter and order your drinks and payout. Nice flow. The pastries and bread - all look so fresh, good and tasty. I only got to eat one for now. I would like to try the other food offerings next time. You help yourself with water and dishing out your dishes. They have a second floor for more sitting. Will return soon to check them out again.

First thing to mention, kudos for their longevity. They are coming up on their first decade next summer. The cafe decor also held up pretty well, including the large glass fixture from the ceiling. Seattle Sunshine Coffee also outlived Ventoux that I had mentioned in my prior post. The barista and I compared my 2016 stamp card to the current design, just had a few slight different nuances. This indie cafe had folks onsite, but not packed. There was still room available whether seated along the sidewalk, main seating area, or the upstairs mezzanine. Some convos to be had, but most of the cafe clientele were on their laptops or reading. Pastry case was well stocked with the wholesale variety from Macrina, plus the usual bevs and cafe fare. I enjoyed my near two hour onsite visit. The only thing I wished is that I had brought a hoodie. The AC was jacked up. and of course, I had savored an iced mocha. Hopefully my next cafe detour won't take nine years though between visits.
