Taking a break from traffic heading to work, I stopped at Take 5 Urban Market for a breakfast sandwich. I decided to try their meatloaf, egg and cheese. I also got a 12 oz drip coffee for $2.00, which is a steal in Seattle right now. (Take 5 - if you're reading this, please don't raise your prices.) Take 5 offers a lot of variety including breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soup, dessert case and cookies to name a few. The house made cookies are $1.00. The breakfast sandwich was delish! Meatloaf wrapped with bacon, egg and cheese tucked between a grilled English muffin. It's a filling sandwich for $9.75. I've come to the conclusion that $10.00 is the going rate for a decent breakfast sandwich in Seattle. Take 5 is run by a friendly husband and wife duo. read more

Stopped in, and had the Tuna Melt sandwich. Un****'ing believable!! I could have rolled in it, like my Chihuahua. Mere review words cannot describe this deliciousness. Go give them your money. read more

It's a neighborhood Sammie place. One of my friends recommended it for a quick lunch on the way home. Sort of a deli type place, with some seats inside if you need to break bread there. Not a huge variety but you get something fresh and filling. read more

This review is solely for the Grilled Chicken Italian. It was huge and absolutely delicious. I took it to-go, so the bun got a little soggy by the time I passed 520, but had I eaten it there, it would have been even more delicious. I wish I would have known to ask to cut it in half. But overall, one of the best sandwiches I've had in awhile. And what makes it even better is the fact that you can order it online. 10/10 would come again to try other items. read more

Such a cute neighborhood spot! Plenty of free street parking right nearby. There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are super friendly. There is a large selection of snacks, treats, and beverages in addition to the food menu. I went for breakfast and order the breakfast sandwich with meatloaf. Was super tasty, would totally order again. Need to come back and try some lunch items. read more

Small little mart with some snacks and drink options as well as the sandwiches. There's limited seating, usually for 1-2 people. I'd consider this a perfect-size sandwich which leaves you feeling full but not too full. Both sandwiches were loaded with lots of filling. The bread for the Reuben wasn't as toasted as I preferred but I'm sure you can ask them to toast it for longer. Both sandwiches tasted good but didn't necessarily feel like they had anything special about them. The total was $36 for two sandwiches which isn't absurd in Seattle but I definitely feel like you could see a bigger portion and/or better sandwiches for a similar price. read more

I was actually not really familiar with this place until post-fire, when I heard a lot more buzz about it. Given today was National Sandwich Day, I decided it was a great day to check them out! The sandwich menu is vast, so I had a hard time deciding what to get. I went with the Reuben ($14.75) (as I read it is made w/ their house-made brisket) and then I also got the Sriracha Chicken Club Melt ($16.75), as it seemed to be popular per reviews. I placed the order online - which was convenient! I showed up a few min late but my order was not ready yet, which was no issue.. the lady working (Rebecca, I think) was apologetic and was hustling. It seemed busy with lots of phone calls and orders. I loved the Reuben - the meat was so tender and not too fatty (which I prefer). Perfect ratios of sauce, meat and bread and not too greasy! Loved it and would order it again for sure. The Sriracha chicken club melt was huge, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Not that I didn't like it, but it was just too large and messy and didn't wow me. Still, nothing wrong with it per se. Besides the sandwiches, they also sell other things they make such as bread pudding, mac and cheese, quiche, etc. which you can see in the glass case. They also have soups, too. Besides the food they make, this is also a market, so they sell beer/wine, chips, hot sauce, and some other items. There is also a small seating area so it is possible to eat-in. I look forward to trying other sandwiches next time - hopefully the breakfast sandwich or the meatloaf one! read more

After reading another Yelper's compelling post, I had Take 5 Urban Market bookmarked for awhile. In the interim, this popular neighborhood business was closed after a gas explosion. Thankfully, no one was onsite. They reopened on 4/9/25 and I stopped in for a first visit on 6/1/25. Serious Sunday lunch rush was experienced while onsite in line. Despite seeing some menu items and specials of interest, I opted to go basic. A bit of sticker shock though for a grilled cheese sandwich at $8.95 before tax & tip. I asked the counter person their recommendation between the carrot cake (cupcake format) or the chocolate mousse in a lidded cup ($7.75 each), without hesitation she enthusiastically replied for the latter. Menu items included soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, mac & cheese variations, and baked goods. There are also featured specials. Grocery items were beverage focused, saw chocolate bars, chips, condiments, and other stuff and things. There's also clothing branded merch. Its product inventory was not as extensive or varied as another indie neighborhood grocer in Ballard, Salmonberry Goods. I paid up and then got a counter seat facing the sidewalk. All the tables were tables were occupied and others were standing waiting for their orders, whether to also dine onsite or as takeout. Another counter person later kindly provided a cup for ice water upon request, after my order was ready. My grilled cheese with Grand Central como bread was smallish. I did not quite get why there were lettuce bits under the sandwich though. The lone pepperoncini was a nice touch and added an exclamation point to the basic sandwich. The chocolate mousse was tasty. The hardened chocolate swirl had adhered to the container though, so there was some scraping involved. Thankfully, the compostable spoon was up to the task. Nice to see Take 5 Urban Market resume business operations and clearly a popular neighborhood destination. However, would I return after this specific stop from Shoreline? Probably not. read more

My go to sandwich spot at the moment. Their breakfast sandwich is hands down my favorite in the city, and a reasonable price. The bacon is perfectly crispy and there is always a beautiful halo of cheese that gets all crunchy on the ends. I can't stop going back for this breakfast sandwich. Also recently tried their BLATT which was just as delicious. The bread was the perfect toast level where it doesn't cut the roof of your mouth (iykyk). I definitely need to come back and try some more of their offerings. They also have a selection of beverages and sides for sale in the market + staff is all incredibly friendly. Great staple spot in Ballard! read more

Take 5 is still in Ballard but it's quite challenging to get there if you don't have a car. Today I decided to try my luck with the bus and got a sandwich there. It felt like big responsibility to take on to commit to a sandwich by pre-ordering before I leave when I didn't know how long I'd wait for the 28 bus. But this time I got really lucky and got there with almost no wait time for the bus! I ordered in advance because I saw in other reviews that it takes a while to get the sandwich if I order at the spot. I had the famous BLATT (Bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato, sliced turkey and Mayo on butter toasted Grand Central Como) and it was phenomenal! I liked how the bread was thin so that the toppings could shine but it was still buttery and flavorful. Staff were nice and service was fast. They have an impressive collection of soft drinks, including several kinds of ginger ale, which is my favorite soda. The portion is on the smaller side for ~$15 sandwich - I wasn't looking for a giant sandwich so it was just enough for me, but I could see other people may not feel like it is enough. With the difficulty getting there and the fact that they give away where they get their bread from, I'm thinking about recreating the sandwich at home to save time getting there. But it would be one of my top choices if I'm hanging out with a friend with a car and we're deciding where to get food. read more

A great neighborhood deli that we look forward to visiting even more. Put in a pick up order on a cold Saturday while we were out and about looking for something warm and hearty to take home. This deli did not disappoint, the turkey pot pie soup and the chili hit the spot for both of us, warming us to our core. We split a BLATT as well which was fresh and topped off the lunch nicely. Cute place inside and pickup was easy with an order placed online. Lots to love here and can't wait to come back and try the famous Reuben read more

I went here right when it reopened and left because $12 for a wrap felt criminal...but seeing how prices are skyrocketing across the city, I decided to give it a shot. (And just for reference, Mean Sandwich in Ballard is charging $22 for sandwiches with similar portions.) I ordered the Caesar Salad Wrap and was pleasantly surprised -- it was perfectly dressed (not soggy), with crispy croutons adding just the right amount of crunch. The wrap included bacon, tomato, and generous pieces of grilled chicken in every bite, making it both refreshing and satisfying. I also grabbed the bread pudding from the takeaway counter and heated it up at home -- it was fantastic. Rich, large portion size for the price, and definitely worth picking up. Take 5 Market offers a wide selection of beverages and snacks, including bagged chips. I do wish sandwiches came with a small side of chips rather than requiring a separate purchase...but you can't win 'em all! The staff was wonderful. The woman at the counter was warm and welcoming, and when I walked in, everyone was laughing and joking together. It's exactly the kind of energy I love to see and made me glad I decided to give the place another shot. There's something special about a neighborhood deli that brings good food and good vibes to the community. There are a few tables inside if you prefer to dine in, but the headline here is how easy and efficient they make takeout. read more

So F'ing good. Might be my new favorite place. So far I have had the breakfast burrito, the Siracha Chicken Sandwich and the Pulled Chicken Sandwich. Each has been delicious and large. The only downsides to this place are minor. It's a bit tight and can be awkward to stand around and wait and the coffee bar is not straight forward. But this place is a gem and I hope the thrive. read more

I lived in this area for almost a decade I always thought this place was a grocery store not a deli, the person I was with said this place has a New York feel, idk I never been to New York. We arrived about 6 pm on a Friday few tables but there was one person in line, I rather eat in the place then take home. I got the special pastrami sandwinch and the meatloaf burger, Diet Coke and spirit. The wait was longer than I would have guess, 30 minutes at least I stop keeping track I was in all the way no point of checking the time. The funny thing the people behind the semi open kitchen was extremely busy making stuff, people pro tip or just tip in general call ahead or online for pickup you will forever be grateful. The pastrami but taste full but the meatloaf burger was delicious I would definitely go back for that and I did go back to try these usual soda drink, I didn't order anything the waiting is just not my thing. The woman in charge I figure she was the boss of not the owner saw us just waiting and gave us chocolate chip cookie , it was just like ones you made when your were a kid nothing fancy just homemade. read more

13 years ago I was lucky enough to call this place by employment but having moved to states away and come back every year and the food just seems to get better and better. My first visit I had to have the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato bisque in my God, was it a gift from heaven all of the soups and sandwiches are made here and made fresh and you cannot beat the chefs quality For the price! My second visit I had to have the meatloaf breakfast sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. The slice of delicious meatloaf cheese melted over the top on an English muffin... The perfect world I would be able to eat this every day and I had to have a nice cup of hot cocoa made by the barista. This neighborhood store has become part of the heritage of my hometown of Seattle, the one sandwich I recommend the most is to take five Rubin, but there are so many others to try but if you come here you need to spend at least a week... The macaroni and cheese is one of the most healthy portions I've ever seen in my life! The next thing I'd like to point out is that the sandwich called a BLATT is a must try! Don't take 5, take it all! read more

Arguably one of the best sandwiches in seattle. Simple corner eatery with a plethora of options - both meat and vegetarian. Assortment of soups and treats. Wait time was a little over 15min but it was worth the wait. Quality meats, fresh bread, lots of flavor and sauces. Thick cut chicken with additional meats, melty cheese, and dripping sauces made up the "Grilled Chicken Italian" sandwich. So so good. They also take orders ahead. Just really solid spot. Definitely recommend if you're in the neighborhood needing a quick bite! read more

I panic ordered a Ruben cause I didn't know what to get, I don't typically like Rubens so I was nervous, but this was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. I will definitely be ordering it again and trying the other sandwiches on the menu. The staff was really friendly too! read more

Driving by Ballard my son and I got a craving for a bite, and we came across this sandwich shop jewel! Great sandwiches! Prices are fair based on the quality of the ingredients and portions' size. Menu is limited but really great flavors. Service was good and fast. Definitely this place goes to our "favorite go to" list. read more

So yummy! I was craving a good sandwich for the sunset beach vibes. I found this place on Yelp and was captivated! It's a deli inside a little neighborhood market, so cute. As we were waiting for our order, we saw many locals coming in -- so you know this was a good spot for sandos. We got the BLATT and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The tomato soup was a little salty for our taste and the grilled cheese had potential for more cheese... but my fave was the BLATT! Bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and turkey on a toasted bun. Of course, we had to purchase some kettle chips and a pop to go with. Perf meal for beach side. read more

I ordered the basic bacon egg and cheese sandwhich. It was a good amount of bacon loaded with cheese and an over hard egg on English muffin. My only gripe which is my own preference was that the English muffin was steamed rather than toasted. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it but if I find myself in the area I definitely won't hesitate to order it again. The person behind the counter was friendly and helpful. read more

One of the most underrated sandwich shops in Seattle. These are quality sandwiches with valid pricing for the quality of the sandwich. Coffee is Olympia Roaster, and it's made well, so it's a decent cup. Even though you walk in, and it's clearly a market with staples for the neighbors to run in and pick up a need such as milk or a box of animal crackers, this is not a convenience store. This is a market that seems to specialize in comfort. In addition to the sandwiches, get prepared for dinner by picking up mac and cheese or lasagna and some tasty dessert as well as a bottle of wine from the wall of wine bottles - or beer, cider, or nostalgic sodas from the cooler. If thinking ahead is too much for you and you're all about the here and now, there are a couple of tables to sit and enjoy your sandwich and homemade soup right there. This isn't a stop if I happen to be in the neighborhood. This is an intentional destination because I'm ready for a pastrami on rye or a Reuben! read more

Take 5 was our favorite out of the 3 bread pudding we selected for our Bread Pudding Tour Part 1. Nice price $6.99, nice size and nice flavor. This was a traditional style bread pudding with a small drizzle of sauce on it. It had a nice crunch on the edges, moist even without being heavy on sauce, and importantly wasn't overly sweet, which was nice since this was our 2nd bread pudding of the day. To add to it, I had a nice Americano. The shop had a great variety of snacks and sodas. I would definitely recommend this bread pudding! read more

We got takeout from take 5 tonight for the first time and omg, life changing. I was pretty excited to try this place - it's such a community staple and we had passed it so many times and meant to try it. So glad we finally did I had the meatloaf burger, which is probably my new favorite Seattle burger - so juicy with crispy melted cheese and the usual toppings on a perfectly fluffy, crispy ciabatta bun. The patty itself was the stand out, so incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned. A total winner. My fiancé had the sriracha chicken sandwich, which was perfectly savory, with moist tender chicken cutlet, sriracha sauce, veggies and more crispy cheese on a bun. YUM!! We got some the tomato bacon mac and cheese and the meat lasagna to share and they were likewise, incredible-and the portions are huge so we have lunch for tomorrow. Tried the carrot cake for dessert and it did not disappoint! Perfectly crusted cream cheese frosting atop a HUGE carrot cake muffin. So good!! We will be back! read more

My friend recommended grabbing sandwiches from this place for a picnic. We stopped by on a Monday afternoon and were in and out in about fifteen minutes. It's a cute little shop with drinks, wine, snacks, and candy. The lady behind the counter was so nice and welcoming. You can order at the counter or online. I went for the BLATT, a BLT with turkey and it did not disappoint. It was a solid and well constructed sandwich. My daughter also enjoyed her grilled cheese. Every other person in the door ordered the apple crisp so it seems like their desserts are solid too. If I was in the neighborhood this would definitely be on the regular rotation. read more

Oh HELL YEAH. This was to die for. Such a cool little spot with so many amazing choices.
