    Irish coffee
    Emily S.

    Decided to dine at the Spruce Café because it was inside the Paramount Hotel, where we were staying. It wasn't my first choice because of the food offerings but rather the convenience. I tried the smoked salmon frittata and it was bug! Huge portion of eggs and seriously generous portion of smoked salmon on top! Aside from the eggs being a little bit undercooked and watery, it tasted delicious and I was very satisfied with my selection. I opted for the side salad instead of potatoes and the greens came completely undressed. I ended up just mixing theminto the frittata and it was good but I do recommend providing some sort of dressing or topping so that the greens are not as dry.

    We had brunch here before heading out of on a family cruise. Everything was on point. The service top notch, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. There were 6 of us and we all had something different. Everything was great. I highly recommend.

    Randomly found this little gem passing by! What a cute little place. Loved the ambiance- very sweet, local, friendly and authentic. Super nice and welcoming personnel, which brings in the homey and sweet vibes and make experience super relaxed and enjoyable. A lot of cool food options you can choose from. Loved the food- "smoked salmon Benedict" is something, and this place have at least 3 options of those!!! With ham or with the fish(salmon), you can definitely find something. Overall everything was delicious and super pretty. Great side of potatoes, could eat them for days! Also, coffees were especially cool. Great cup to start a day. Initially we came in only for those, but everything looked so tasty and smelled so good, that we stayed for a whole meal! Definitely advising this place to everyone!!!!!! It's pretty light and nice atmosphere, and luckily for us had empty spots when we walked in. Prices are affordable and environment is cute. Portions are good for sharing)

    Chicken & Waffle (with two eggs)
    Gerry L.

    I'd intended to walk down to Ludi's but didn't feel like it so I tried the Spruce Café in the hotel. I ended up ordering one of my favorite dishes ... Chicken and Waffle ($21) and coffee ($4.75). This was a very interesting take on this dish ... the chicken came as a string of six pieces of battered, fried chicken sitting on two (easy over) eggs, atop a Belgian-style waffle. A dusting of powdered sugar over the chicken and a small container of maple syrup completed the dish. I asked my server to request the kitchen make the waffle extra crispy as the heat from the chicken and eggs softens the middle of the waffle. Alas, it didn't come that way so I scarfed down the chicken and eggs so I could eat a somewhat crispy waffle. My meal was okay but could have been better. $34.41, including 20% tip and credit card surcharge.

    Cute spot located just a couple blocks from our hotel. Tried the pancakes after reading the reviews. Stack of three with berries and mascarpone. Really good and I finished everything on my plate. Good strong drip coffee too. Restaurant was busy and we had to wait for a table. There is a cute little area with overstuffed chairs at the entrance to wait.

    Smoked salmon Benedict
    Jani M.

    The service here is quick and friendly. The bathroom is on a different floor of the hotel. The food I felt was well priced for the portions you get. I got the smoked salmon omelet was so good. I also got a chai latte. My friend got a biscuit latte and the smoked salmon Benedict. Both of us really enjoyed our food. 4 stars only cause the drinks were so hot you couldn't touch them for a bit and the bathroom being hard to get to.

    Buttermilk Pancakes with Fruit
    Samantha T.

    Cute little cafe inside the hotel. The buttermilk pancakes are to die for. They were mouth watering and cooked to perfection, I ordered mine without the mascarpone. The Bischoff Latte was good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. Our waiter Juan was amazing! Really welcoming, friendly and provided us with some tips and recommendations while visiting Seattle. Overall nice experience and great service in a well maintained and clean environment.

    Pumpkin Spice Latte - in APRIL!!

    In town for a conference from Dallas and have been searching for a yummy, reasonably priced breakfast spot and I am so glad I found Spruce Cafe!! They open at 7am everyday and are located in the Paramount Hotel just steps from the convention center. Real deal espresso and yummy flavored espresso drinks (I got a PSL in APRIL y'all!), and great food. A huge bowl of fresh fruit for $6, incredibly delicious Greek yogurt for $4, and the most delicious honey I've ever had IN MY LIFE. Service was good, especially considering they got pretty busy after I got there. The cafe itself is super cute with a clean atheistic. Love it. My only suggestion is whomever is making their sourdough bread needs to add more salt to the dough but, the sourdough flavor itself was great - very tangy!

    Vanilla Latte
    Sean D.

    I stopped in for breakfast during my visit to Seattle and was promptly greeted and seated by a nice server. My breakfast sandwich with potatoes was brought out within 10 minutes and was delicious. I also had a vanilla latte which was perfect. Loved the quiet seating area with a nice window view. I really enjoyed Spruce Cafe.

    Spruce Coffee Shop is super convenient for us, located inside the Paramount Hotel. We connected to the Wi-Fi and had breakfast and coffee while getting some work done. I had the waffle with sugar butter and syrup, hit the spot. The cup of fruit was fresh. I also had a white mocha, which was tasty and gave me the kick I needed. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Service was average at best, felt rushed to order. While the location is convenient and the food hit the spot, it was just okay, nothing to really rave about.

    The Spruce Cafe is on the ground floor of the Paramount Hotel, and a block away from the Camlin, where we were staying. When this location was The Dragonfish, we ate breakfast regularly, so we decided to give the new incarnation a try, and are glad we did. The service was friendly and efficient, the Bloody Mary was tasty, and we enjoyed our brunch. My wife had the french toast, which was gorgeous and huge and, according to her, very good. My classic eggs Benedict was nicely done, with lots of basically seasoned (good by me) fried potatoes. When we return to the Camlin, we will breakfast here again.

    Spruce Cafe, located inside the Paramount Hotel, is a fantastic spot for breakfast. It is convenient if you're staying at the hotel. Quick and friendly services. Great vibes. We ordered the waffles, a fresh fruit bowl, and a white mocha, all of which were delicious. The waffles were fluffy, the fruit was fresh, and the white mocha was a great pick-me-up. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Or if you just want to get some work done.

    What's interesting about Spruce Cafe is that it shares the same location as Chan Seattle restaurant (where we were last night). In the day, the location is Spruce Cafe and in the evening, it is Chan Seattle. At Spruce, they serve a small but varied breakfast menu and the presentation and taste was on point. It's a perfect little place to enjoy an espresso or cappuccino or some OJ while you people watch, do some work, or catch up on the news.

Loved the vibe, friendly & mellow staff, and the seating area space. There are long tables to work at, comfy seating with games, and chairs to enjoy your coffee with friends.

We got the salmon rice bowl, cauliflower and yodelin broth with shrimp added. The salmon rice bowl was essentially a salad topped on rice and fresh salmon. The quality of the ingredients were fantastic, you could tell how fresh it was but the actual dish itself wasn't anything crazy. The yodelin broth was a bowl of complex flavors. You could taste the fish, and it was very comforting. The mini shrimp in it were surprisingly good and they don't skimp out on the quantity. Finally, their cauliflower dish was delicious. It was a little crisp without being overly hard. The creamy sauces paired so well with the chili crisps. Definitely on the pricier end for the food but so good.

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
