Stopped in for dinner, no wait! I ate was the lemon blueberry pancakes! 9/10 so good. Perfect balanced of lemon and blueberry. If you're looking for a good sweet breakfast for dinner or are here for breakfast, I definitely recommend. The hash-browns were alright. Pretty stiff on the top and bottom where they contacted the pan, not a nice sear but kind of tough. The inside was good but the outside was a bit too hard for me. Friendly service and lots of good parking spots! read more

YES YES YES!!! If you are looking for comfort food or amazing pies...do yourself a favor and go right to Sammamish Cafe! This is such a fun, relaxing, and comfortable place to sit down with friends and snag a bite to eat! The servers are all very kind and the food is really full of flavor and they can substitute whatever you want to make your meal better! BUT lets get to the important part....THE PIE! These pies are so full, thick, rich, and delicious! The cream is real and not the fake spray kind and the flavor is the best! I have gotten these for birthday parties, Thanksgiving holidays, and 4th of July parties and every time I bring one people can not get enough of how good it is! Great menu, serve breakfast all day long, and great desserts - what more could you ask for!? read more

Ive been here a handful of times. I come to eat and do work when I need to be in this area. Food and service is always good. Mornings I've been, it can get busy. On this day I came during HH and it wasn't busy at all. Pretty chill. The HH menu has a good selection of food. I also ordered chipotle tacos and wings to go. The tacos were so good and I really enjoyed the chop salad while I was there. The wings were good too. I had them put the buffalo sauce on the side and by themselves they were flavorful. The pieces were a bit big for my liking but overall not bad. Until next time. read more

Food was wonderful! We were looking for a place for breakfast and this place did not disappoint! I had the eggs with fruit and banana bread - the bread was wonderful! read more

Great food and service. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere was friendly.This cafe offers a variety of meals.

Love this place so much that we've become regulars and they know our orders! Can't recommend this place enough for all times of the day!

Not going to lie, I was a little skeptical coming here. The menu in general looks a little generic and basic. But I think that's the point! They're not elaborate gourmet meals. This where you go for some basic comfort food. I ordered the fish and chips and was actually pleasantly surprised! It was pretty good! Service was great. I like the location. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I feel like the prices are a little higher than what I would expect for basic comfort food. read more

My son and I decided to stop here for an early dinner after flute practice at Moore Brother Music next door. We were warmly greeted by a wooden bear, then a kind human. We were quickly seated in a window seat and were greeted by a kind and adept server. She knew to bring a drink refill without even being asked. Nice attentiveness. My son ordered a regular cheese burger and I ordered a lettuce wrapped Dr. Praeger Veggie Burger. Both were tasty and fresh and we left happy and satiated. read more

It is a nice place to have lunch or dinner with friends as the place was not noisy. I came here to meet with our church group and I am glad they picked this place because of its relaxed atmosphere and good food. I had Malibu chicken burger and it was tender and juicy. It consists of chicken breast topped with ham, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mustard on a ciabatta bun. I accompanied it with green salad with my burger. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We came here for dinner on a weekday and parking was plentiful. read more

It's a great breakfast diner on the Eastside. Place is family friendly and very welcoming atmosphere in Sammamish plateau. Staffs are friendly and very attentive to your table. We've all ordered half breakfast items and all came with side dishes that were ample to fill you up. Omelette and breakfast Benedict sandwiches were all freshly made. Bacon and ham were cooked to perfection. There is ample parking in the mall. If you're in the area and looking for a relaxing PNW vibe diner, check out Sammamish Cafe. Bon appetite! read more

Hostess was odd, and waitress is good. Dine-in around 6:30 pm. Seated by window booth, place was dirty, looks like they don't bother to clean up after breakfast/brunch hours. I can see falling food such as dust/greasy, m&m candy, fries and crumbs on the ground by window shelves. Bloody Mary is good, Mango Margarita was blah! Foods was way too salty for pot roast, I wouldn't call it "Seattle's Best Pot Roast" and waited for 20-30minutes for this. read more

Ok one more EDIT.... A few months ago I did something I really didn't want to do.....I wrote an unfavorable review. For some treason one of our favorite restaurants had taken a nosedive in quality in several respects. A huge downturn in service friendliness and in the food served. Well, something changed and a massive turnaround happened. Someone listened! We have even there probably five times in the past Otho and all is FIVE STARS! Except for one thing......the RESTROOMS! They have been in DEPLORABLE condition! Not always but too often to be acceptable. Problems include.....no toilet paper or seat cover. Floor soaker with urine! And just filthy everything. I know...one patron can trash it in one visit. Kids are the worst! I suspect you follow a schedule but it obviously needs more monitoring. Not an easy task but much needed. Again your improvements are commendable! read more

Came here to grab a bite to eat after arriving in Seattle. They have a good size menu with many options to choose from from breakfast food to dinner and lunch. They serve all foods all day long and what i had was delicious. Addiiotnslly their drinks are great too and they don't skimp on the liquor lol. It has a diner feel to it but is very large and not loud. read more

Hands down the best breakfast for dinner place in the area. This place is a local chain with a couple locations around the Seattle area, all with different names, but the same menu. I love this place because they serve breakfast for dinner which is one of my favorite meals that's hard to come across. I honestly don't think the food is exceptional or anything, but really good quality for a place serving a wide selection of dishes. I've been to this location and many of their other ones many times and I can say it's pretty hit or miss knowing you can either get really hot and fresh food with quick service, or be waiting an hour to receive cold food. That being said I give this place 5 stars just due to their ability to serve breakfast for dinner and would recommend it for a breakfast dinner, and less of a brunch place knowing there's better breakfast in the area. read more

I waited about 5 visits before writing this because I know some businesses have bad/off days and I really like these kinds of diners. The food is variable in quality from very good to great. The portions vary depending on what day you come in. Will not return and tell all my friends that say, "it looks good" that the food is good but it's not worth it for the bad service. Place is clean though. read more

LONG WAIT ON SHORTEST DAY IN THIS SEMI-SWANKY SIT-DOWN JOINT Actually, closer to 3 1/2 stars. An old friend and his wife invited me to come to dinner with them on December 21, 2023. They took me to the Sammamish Café in Sammamish WA. This was on a Thursday night. Nevertheless, we did have to wait about 20 minutes before we could be seated. But that was fine as we just simply took a little walk around the shopping center for about 10 minutes before returning to the restaurant. About 10 minutes or so later, the name of our group was called. If we had to wait 20 minutes on a Thursday night, I can only imagine the wait on a Friday or Saturday night would've been longer. DECEPTIVELY QUIET ATMOSPHERE BELIED THE CROWD? OR WAS I DISTRACTED BY ROSES? But the generous portion of their delicious grilled chicken salad was worth it, as well as the camaraderie I had with my friends. The atmosphere was also suitable for me. But it did take a while for us to get waited upon and an even longer while before our order arrived. But the waiter said the place was fairly crowded, even though it did not seem crowded enough to justify that long a wait. It just did not seem that noisy. You be the judge as I took a photo inside the restaurant. But because I enjoyed being with my friends, it was not too big a deal. (this was a rare occasion in which I actually stopped to smell the roses). But once the food came, I considered the whole experience worth it. My friend treated me, so therefore I did not pay close attention to the prices, but they seemed to be moderately priced. GREAT FOOD! GIVE'EM A PASS WITH THE WAIT, BUT WE WERE A LITTLE WINCY RE: NO APPLEPAY We were kind of disappointed that they do not accept Apple Pay. The Digitally dexterous millennials and generation Z crowd (who can tap out a text message with one hand) may not care, but us fumble-fingered baby boomers, consider having to dig our credit cards out of our wallets a "pay cut." In my book, If they did have mobile pay (Apple Pay and Google pay) and the wait were not so long, that would have bumped them up to an overall 5 stars. But they do get five stars in the food quality department. (so THAT'S explains the long wait!) Bon appétit! read more

I live 2mins from here so it's a close breakfast spot with decent food. They are always busy on weekends, but that is expected. Has a rustic/cabin feel to the place. read more

Relaxed cafe based on lunch and dinner visits. Noisy inside at 1/4 or 1/2 capacity. Food is just OK based on a small sample size. $70 for a burger and salad is a lot. I know that food and employee costs have gone up, but still... I've heard and read on Yelp that breakfasts are this cafe's thing, and that they are very popular for that. I was unable to get a wine list. Having our server verbally rip off this long list of choices at lightning speed was unhelpful. I was also unable to pay using my phone which was also unhelpful. Please join the nearly every other business in the US which accepts electronic payments. This restaurant is a couple minutes from the house. It's quick and convenient to us but doesn't entice us to return often. read more

Needs more hot sauce options! At least Cholula. Will get into the great things about Sammamish cafe in a moment but first, I want to voice my only criticism: Needs more hot sauce selections. While this may be our go-to breakfast location, it has the worst hot sauce selection of any breakfast place in the area only has tabasco and tapatio on request. Hot sauce aside, Sammamish Cafe has everything else i look for in a breakfast place. Great service, friendly staff, online waitlist, best breakfast food in the area (and i think i have tried almost everything), good atmosphere, strong coffee, good mimosas. read more

Wow - top notch all around the food is delicious and they do not skimp on serving size! If you are not hungry don't come here....unless you just want a nice drink in the wonderful bar or to sit on the patio soak up the filtered sunlight. They are crowded at the normal times you would expect for a larger breakfast place...aka mid-morning to early afternoon but we were seated pretty quickly. We've eaten the breakfast duo, which is 2 breakfast sandwiches on english muffins with a fruit cup, the sandwiches were perfect. We also had a traditional club which was also delicious. read more

We came for brunch on a Saturday and it was packed! Thankfully seating at the bar is walk in so we were able to get a seat quickly. The service was friendly and prompt. We started with a mimosa and an Earl Grey based cocktail (I can't find the name of it on the menu). The Earl Grey was pretty interesting as it had the taste of the tea, and also the lemonade but also the taste of the alcohol - we were not so sure it all came together into one unified drink but are happy that we tried it. The waffle with the heated syrup was a nice touch. The waffle was also different than the kind we were originally picturing but we liked it, the only thing is that it would be nice to get more than just one thin waffle in an order. We particularly enjoyed the fluffiness of the omelette. The bacon, avocado, tomato, and sour cream along with the sweet salsa tied so nicely together. The hash browns could have been crispier and we would have liked if the toast that came with the omelette was served on a separate plate and toasted more (it wasn't very crisp when we got it). read more

I love diner food, but not my recent lunch here, and i don't understand why the long queue when other places also have good food and similar ambiance. To the Cafe's credit, their reservation system works well. Your entire party just gotta be there when they call and start your 30-minute countdown. Post-pandemic though, prices have gone way up, and the portions of fish in my fish-and-chips had gone down. What was once one fillet about 8 ounces came as three 2-3 ounce pieces, over-breaded and over-fried, but billed on the register tape as "4 Fish & Chips"--which i noticed only after leaving. I did see immediately, the ordinary food-service-quality coffee billed at $3.95 each. The relaxing casual ambiance ought be even nicer and the queue shorter when they can seat on their outdoor deck. Don't go until then. read more

I came here with other 2 ladies first time and late afternoon. When I entered the store, I was curious about the pie case. We took a seat by the window and took some time to choose the menu. I ordered half size veggies from the omelet and scrambled eggs menu. And I don't know what the two ladies ordered, but full of food came to the table, lol. The menu can be selected from full size and half size, and the full size was enough for two people to eat. Therefore, I ordered the half size and it was just right. However, the taste had to add salt and pepper and tabasco by myself. The two ladies couldn't finish and took them home. They were happy with the quantity, However, it seemed that the taste was not enough, so they added salt and pepper and tabasco too. The service at the restaurant was good. read more

First visit since pandemic. Not sure how this fell off our restaurant rotation. Great atmosphere, clean. Had corned beef hash with biscuits and gravy. Very disappointed. Gravy not made in house. Tasted and looked right out of a can. Corned beef not very flavorful either. Bacon and hash browns were good though. Not in rush to go back. Better breakfast options with Egg and Us and 12th Ave Cafe. read more

Service is sloooooow. There have been a couple of times where it looked like it would be quick but its not. I feel like it's just understaffed each time we go and it just might be the reality of the post covid world. The food though hits the spot and we never have an issue once we receive our food. It's just getting to that point- seated, the. Long wait, then order, then even longer wait, then when food comes, even longer wait for refils/check. I don't know why we don't just get food to-go ,but we keep putting ourselves thru the long journey. Next time we'll prolly opt for Pagliacci and get a hot pizza done and eaten before wed even get our order in here. Everyone is friendly - it's just like a lack of staff or awareness of sections when seated. I want to give it higher stars too. I just can't for the long long wait times and inconsistency. read more

The quest to find the perfect chicken fried steak lead me to Sammamish Cafe. The chicken fried steak is crispy and isn't soggy at all. It's served on a separate plate so that the gravy doesn't contaminate the other items. The gravy can be improved with bits of beef to give it additional texture. Eggs and hash are standard and nothing tow write home about. Overall, the chicken fried steak is excellent! read more

As mentioned in my previous review, I'm a regular, and hate to say, the service at this place is really lacking and getting worse. There are a couple bartenders that are great, but in general, the servers and bartenders pretend that you're invisible. I usually opt for the first-come-first-served seating around the bar, and there was a new guy today that used to be a server and apparently got promoted to a bartender, or perhaps just filling in for someone. After waiting for about 15 minutes for him to make initial contact, I got up and asked for a table instead. The hostess who sat me, named Sophie, asked if I wanted anything to drink. I did, but she never returned with my beverage! Then after another 10 minutes of wait, a server took my order, but brought out only part of it because apparently the kitchen had made the wrong thing! It took another 10 minutes or so for the rest of order to show up, at which point I've been at the restaurant for more than 30 minutes. Note that I always pay the 20% or so extortion fee aka tips in the US, so, they have more reason to be happy about my visit than begrudged. Issaquah cafe, in the same chain of restaurants, offers better service in exchange for smaller seating area and limited hours. read more

My sister and I love coming here together for breakfast but we went for lunch instead this week and had such an interesting experience. Our server was kind, but I think because we were two younger girls, we were put on the bottom of her priority list. It took forever for her to take our order and then when we were done it took ten minutes for her to bring us our check, and then another twenty for her to grab us boxes. What could have been a 45 minute dining experience for my sister and I ended up being nearly two hours. When she took my ID to run it by her manager it took her about ten to fifteen minutes to return it to me and I saw her serving other people before she returned my ID to me, I feel like that's doesn't necessarily make me feel the safest because it has all my personal information with it and should have been brought back to me immediately. The food was delicious, I ordered a huckleberry mule and sidewinder fries and the fries were probably the best I've ever had, definitely better than Red Robin fries and those were my favourite before trying these ones. I love the homey vibe to this restaurant and the way that it's almost always packed, even at lunch time. I think that makes it a cozy place to go with my sister and I love supporting a small business in our community. Looking forward to going back. read more
