The sandwiches are pretty big - I could only eat half. The only complaint I had was that this particular sandwich was pretty salty, and even my BF who usually likes things salty said it was a bit too salty for him. It could have been a combination of the ingredients that contributed to the saltiness. We do like this place and will come back again to try more sandwiches. Service was excellent and they added outside tables which is nice to sit at when the weather is nice. Parking is always a challenge but we are lucky to be within walking distance.

Super convenient location tucked onto the main road by the Ballard locks. We stopped by for a super…read morelate lunch and each ordered a sandwich along with two soups to share. The main thing that really threw me off was that two of the three sandwiches that we ordered had extremely sour profiles. that was kind of the theme of this meal. The sandwiches had sour peppers in them, they came with really sour pickles, and the tomato soup that they had for the day was also on the sour side. I'm usually not one to shy away from pickles in my burgers, but the taste was pretty overwhelming in these and by the end of the meal I was soured out. fortunately, the Hershey's kiss they gave us after the meal really saved the day. for the price i wasn't super impressed by the quantity. but it's a very cute spot and I'm looking forward to checking out what else ballard has to offer!

I'm SO glad Other Coast proved me wrong. And I was blown away by what we got. For starters, I asked for a reco. The person behind the counter said the Michael King was super popular among veggies and vegans alike. I'm aways more likely to choose something I wouldn't make at home, and the dry rubbed tofu, roasted yams, and vegan cardamom-lime sauce fit right into that category. We paid, nabbed a table out front, and our names were soon called. Holy heck, those first few bites were just spectacular. What an interesting flavor combo! My only regret is that pickled onions weren't an option -- they would've added a great umami. My total came to just over $16 with tax and tip. We'll be back!

Really solid sandwich spot! Stopped in here on a Saturday after walking around Ballard and tried…read morethe Rajun Cajun as well as the Electric Wizard. Both sandwiches were delicious and very filling. The spot itself is really small and not flashy at all. There are only a few bar seating chairs inside, and then 4 or 5 tables in their outdoor, on street seating area. We came at an odd time, around 3:30pm, so there was no line and a few open tables, but I am assuming this place gets real busy around peak lunch so would take that into consideration if you are looking to go sit and eat somewhere versus takeout. The staff was friendly and it did not take too long for our sandwiches to come out. The sandwiches were super fresh and the flavors were really good. I appreciated that the baguette was not too crispy (like cut the top of your mouth crispy) while still be well toasted. The Rajun Cajun is delicious, so it deserves all the hype it gets on the menu and on here!

There's actually a hidden backyard seating area that's dog friendly. Owner was super friendly and went around asking about everyone's experiences. The Mean: Corned beef was not the most tender (I'm still partial to Dingfelder's), but it's well seasoned. Mint with mustard is a combination I never would have guessed would work, but the sharpness complemented each other nicely. Red cabbage had a nice tang and the soft bun for the contrast of texture. The Steak Tartare Club: Steak tartare surprisingly mild, almost feels more like a BLT with a background of slight beefy squishy texture (but in a good way!). The yuzu kosho was not too spicy and the rye bread toasted to a crisp added a good bit of crunch and almost nutty flavor. Will be back for the Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy.

This place is counter service and then you take your number to a table (be sure to indicate if you want to sit in the garden when you place your order, so they know to look for you there). I ordered the Italian Trio Baguette as the cashier mentioned it was pretty tasty. It was just ok. The bread was too hard/crusty and the sandwich was a bit dry (I would have liked a bit more Italian vinaigrette flavor. It wasn't terrible but not something I'd order again. Maybe next time I should stick w/ a pizza, as I have heard pretty good things about them. The pastries in the case looked really tasty, so I think next time I'll come back and order a pastry (or quiche) and coffee. Definitely a cute neighborhood spot that I want to like, so hopefully the next time will be better!

I'll start by saying the folks running it were super kind and the space was clean! This is a cafe with breakfast/brunch options, and the GF options were more limited. Friends said coffee was ok, the wife got a breakfast sandwich (served on a scone!) and something came over me and I ordered the salmon lox waffle. The lox and waffle were good. If I were to order it again (which I will likely not do) I would ask for no cream cheese and sauce on the side. If this seems like a place you want to go, by all means go! Just wasn't it for our group.

Friendly staff, great food, and pretty quick takeout -- can't ask for anything else.

A small, cutesy establishment with plenty of pink decor, it is a quintessential neighborhood spot where both the food and customer service shine bright. The ordering process starts with a LCD screen in which folks can place their orders without the needles of consulting with anyone. Once an order is placed, find a seat, grab your own utensils, and serve your own drinks. The pink cups are a nice touch, as is the floral decor, the clean bathrooms, and the casual atmosphere. Seating is limited and there are also outdoor seating options as well. My group and I ordered chicken wings, pad see you, garlic noodles, green curry with purple multi grain rice, gyoza, a basil pork belly, and a bamee moo toon. I would have ordered sandwiches since that's part of their specialty but we needed dishes that were shareable and feastworthy. The green curry was rich and fragrant, which paired perfectly with the multigrain rice. There was an addictive quality about the garlic noodles, and the pork belly was as succulent as it was flavorful. The pad see you was excellent as expected, and the ba mee toon was the favorite of the table. Everything was roughly $90 before tip, and service was excellent the whole time. I appreciate the fact that they served everything on local dishware and the natural lighting from the windows made the food look incredible. Since there wasn't any dish was executed poorly, I was more than satisfied with my experience along with my dining mates. Seeing as I'm in Seattle every year, this will be another place that I will add to my existing rotation. Highly recommended.
