    Quick, inexpensive average breakfast. We were getting ready to fly home that afternoon and this cafe was across the street from the hotel we stayed at so the close proximity was appealing. The breakfast was lacking however. The actual cafe was very cute and homey. The gal running it was nice enough and let me select my tea of choice from some boxes that were on display. For $12.95, I got their 2 egg breakfast with toast and bacon and it was similar to something one can make at home or find at a convenience store. My eggs were a bit overdone and the bacon was microwaveable bacon. Toast was the best part I suppose. The hubby concurred. But the breakfast served as a filler and kept me full until I got to the airport for lunch later that day. 3 stars.

    I decided to have breakfast here and honestly wasn't expecting much, I do apologize for the honesty, but to my surprise it was quite nice from the food to the interior as well. The lady that helped me was pretty straightforward with everything and she seemed to be very quick at her job, which fits the place well. Overall the food in honesty was above average and I also forgot to enjoy my meal with ketchup, which would have elevated it for sure. Would try again.

    Cute little coffee shop that also serves food for a quick bite. We came in for breakfast and ordered lattes a breakfast late and a bagel. There was only 1 person working at the time and she provided great service. She took our orders, made us our lattes and then cooked up our breakfast and served us all pretty quickly too. The food was simple but it hit the spot. It was just what we needed to start off our day.

    Cute little neighborhood gem right next to our Airbnb. Service and food were excellent. I ordered a latte and veggie breakfast sandwich. Delicious!

    Cute little cafe rightttt across from Top Pot (took all I had not to cross the street). I saw that it had great reviews, so I was pretty excited! So far, I just feel pretty "meh" about this place. I ordered an organic green tea latte and the first half of the drink was pretty good. Once I got about halfway through, all the matcha flavor disappeared and I was just drinking steamed milk... I'm not sure if they didn't stir it well or what, but I couldn't handle just drinking steamed milk. Bleck. It's a really cute place (very tiny) and the owner and his employee that was there was super nice. I'm interested in coming back for their breakfast sandwich or omelette options - and to give them a second chance on the drink.

    Nice people. Strip mall coffee shop. Cappuccino - Scorching hot. No taste. No pride in their craft.

It's located in a very convenient and easily accessible location near Pike Place. It was literally along the same street as our hotel, so my husband and I just walked over to it for breakfast. I highly recommend getting there early because the lines do get really long. It is so worth waiting in line for though because the food is incredible. The customer service is also incredible too! Everyone is very friendly and efficient. I would say the food comes out fairly fast. The restaurant itself is very casual and is such a great spot to grab brunch. My husband and I ordered these items: -combo-silog -stack of ube pancakes We shared these items, and we were barely able to finish everything. The ube pancakes were so delicious and had the perfect flavor or ube. I will say a stack is probably a little too much for just 2 people haha. But I'm really glad that we shared. The rice that came with the combo-silog was also really good and stood out to me. The quality of the food was so good, and you can just tell how well-oiled this place is ran by the staff. We absolutely would come back again and try other menu items!

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.

    Fulcrum Cafe is a small but cute coffee shop in the Denny Triangle area of Downtown Seattle…read more When we visited, Fulcrum offered a great menu of fancy speciality coffee drinks and an amazingly lovely pastry selection. Unfortunately, they were not offering breakfast sandwiches on the day we visited, which was a large part of their food menu. The service was fast and friendly. This place does have a bit of a fancier vibe, so we opted to order and go since our kids were with us. They do have cute little seating options inside and outside- always a perk! We just ordered a drip coffee and a pistachio cream latte. The Pistachio Cream latte was amazing, but we wished it had a tad more pistachio flavor. The drip coffee was good.

I went with the "Sunggle Me Sesame" (espresso, toasted black sesame sauce, brown sugar syrup, and oat milk), and it was phenomenal. I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks, but this was beautifully crafted--not overly sweet, just a perfect balance of nutty, toasty, and slightly sweet flavors. It felt unique, comforting, and incredibly well thought out. Overall, such a standout coffee spot with creative drinks and exceptional quality. Highly recommend!
