    a view of a city from the top of a skyscraper

    Mary and Chris and basically the rest of the staff were amazing! this was a mystery trip and everyone was pleasantly surprised! the food was great and the view was exquisite! best spot in Seattle as far as i'm concerned!

    I had the lavender sunset and it was awesome!!

    Great service and drinks. The views can't be beat!!! It's a very relaxing atmosphere to grab a drink before dinner.

    Only spot in the observation deck for food. $5 for a can of Schilling Hard Apple Cider.

    Located on the 73rd floor of the 933 foot-tall Columbia Center (the tallest building in Washington State at the time of writing), this cafe has a small, but popular food selection. Visitors can choose from a variety of small plates, cocktail drinks, lattes, and desserts while enjoying 360-degree views of Seattle and beyond.

    I was visiting the Sky View Observatory around lunch and the smell from the café was too enticing to pass up. There are sandwiches, chips, and other snacks available. I ordered a sandwich and a cider. I originally wanted a beer but was glad I got the cider staff recommended because it was pretty amazing. There is a small seating area where food and beverages must stay inside the observatory deck. I guess I wasn't the only one with this idea since it took quite a while for my sandwich to come out. I had pretty much finished my cider by the time my sandwich showed up. It was delicious though. Depending upon how hungry you are you might want to share a sandwich with someone since the portion is quite large. You can also get a to-go box if you have left overs.

    Cozy little place:) Located in the sky view observation deck, great food at reasonable prices. The cheesy potato soup was delicious; wine at $6 a glass.

    The hot chocolate was disgusting. It tasted watery and nasty. Cost me $8. The customer service was just ok.

    Very disappointed. I bought a combination ticket with a drink but when I went to the rooftop the bar was closed. They should said it before.

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    While in Seattle, we stumbled upon Mr. West, a cute little café. I ordered a grilled cheese and a…read morecup of tomato soup. The grilled cheese was made to perfection the bread was fresh, thick, and delicious, and it was packed with cheese! The tomato soup was also delicious with a unique flavor. My only (very minor) complaint is that it was served in a cup, which made it hard to dip the grilled cheese. A bowl would've been much better for dipping! Overall, this café was a quiet, cozy spot with pleasant employees. I'd definitely visit again.

    I came here based on reviews and with the intent of trying their avocado toast. However upon…read morearrival and looking at their menu, I went for their salmon toast. Why? 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.

    I've associated Jollidaze with their holiday photo ops and honestly, didn't know they were open…read moreoutside of the last few months in the year. Basically, I thought they were a pop up. They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average.

As we entered, my daughters were excitedly yelling "Grinch." Throughout my order, the employee maintained a visibly displeased demeanor. Once I had paid, she rudely stated that "they need to keep it down because people are working." If a business does not welcome excited children, perhaps it is better suited as an adult-only space. When a child is not causing harm to themselves or others, there is no reason to ask them to be silent. It is especially important to recognize that children on the spectrum express themselves differently, and they deserve to be able to exist freely without judgment.

They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (note that pets are not allowed indoors). They have a great selection of hot brunch items, plus pastries and cakes. The whole place is modern and bright. The coffee tasting menu is unique, offering latte and espresso flights, and pour-overs. We tried the latte flight, which comes with four adventurous, creative flavors--including a miso latte! Overall, they were a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but very fun to try. The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside. I loved that the filling was distributed all the way to the edges, so you get some in every single bite. * Chicken Avocado Salad: A wonderfully light meal featuring grilled chicken breast and a light dressing.

As soon as I walked in, I noticed the selection of pastries, hot brunch items, and coffee drinks. The coffee tasting menu looked enticing. If I had more time to leisurely work or talk with company here, I would have opted to go this more adventurous route. However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
