They have indoor and outdoor seating and I'm so glad they had a high chair available to use for my little one! I enjoyed their sandwiches, cookie, and sides! Will definitely be back to try their other items soon!

got the Notorious PIG sandwich and the Buttermilk Biscuit while I was here…read more Starting with the sandwich, there were a ton of things to love about this The very first thing I noticed was how all-time crispy the pork belly was. Interestingly, the meat came in two separate pieces, arranges somewhat like an X or a cross in the middle of the sandwich. This certainly wasn't the eating experience of a typical sandwich with a circular meat patty, and I appreciate the creativity here. The meat was insanely crunchy, oily, and quite plentiful. Each bite felt a bit like you were biting into a crunchy churro, but without the sweetness. I did think the outside of the pork did overpower the inside, though, as I didn't taste the meat or the fat inside much, and due to the amount of breading the pieces ended up being a bit chewy The bun was quite good as well - it was pretty soft, fluffy, and served as a really good bookend to all the ingredients inside. I thought the lettuce and onions also were good. I don't know if I'm a fan of the jelly on the sandwich - but again, I do like the creativity. What did shine here was the aioli, however. In a lot of places, you don't really taste the aioli on a burger - but that flavor was ever-present on this sandwich, and it was really fantastic. The absolute best part of the meal, by far, though, was the biscuit I have to start with how huge this is. This is certainly not the size of a typical Southern-style buttermilk biscuit - rather this biscuit makes no apologies in its effort to stand out from the crowd. Absolutely nobody would mistake this for a traditional biscuit - on the contrary, I think on first glance most people would assume this isn't a biscuit at all. It's shaped more like a massive pastry. I hesitate to say that looks are deceiving, because it does look great, but its taste manages to elevate past that. This was SO good. The edges are baked perfectly - they're oily, crispy, crunchy, and perfectly flaky. All four sides provide an amazing base - like the walls of a fortress that surround the soft, tender interior of the biscuit. You can see the different layers from the outside as well. When it comes to the inside, there was so much to get through but every bite was heavenly. So much credit here goes to the honey butter - which when spread onto the biscuit, raises the taste level of the entire thing. I put so much honey butter on mine that I nearly finished the whole thing. When it came to the jam, it was good, but since it didn't combine great with the honey butter I mostly ended up just using the latter This place was expensive - around 16 dollars for the sandwich and 8 for the biscuit - however, I was quite full at the end

Yum! Woke up craving bagels on a Sunday and opted to order out some bagels for the family from…read moreZylberschteins. Basic bagel place featuring a killer lox and pastrami to boot. My husbands a lox guy and I prefer veggies so the avocado egg and cheese fit the bill perfectly. And best thing yet we didn't have to stand in a long line with a 4 year old - their online ordering system makes it really to order and pick up, despite the Sunday morning rush.

The food is good, we've been here a couple times and the food comes out pretty quickly…read more However, every time we've gone it feels like we aren't supposed to be there. We stand there awkwardly or when we ask questions we go short answers. If you're lost at all, no one comes to help you. We went inside with no customers and they didn't acknowledge we were there. It was really awkward. The time, we figured they were understaffed; the second time we figured it was a coincidence. We went a 3rd time and just left after 10 min of trying to talk to someone

First time here. Got the Raquel breakfast burrito and it was sooo good. As an FYI, their breakfast…read moreburrito has two sizes. What you get is going to be bigger than the size model that they have in front of the register. The chorizo inside the burrito was seasoned perfectly and everything tasted great. The salsa that came with the burrito gave it another layer of flavor; just wish they gave more of it. Be careful as the oil from the burrito will drip onto your clothes if you're not careful (like me ). Plenty of seating inside and there is parking around the back. Would definitely come again to try the other stuff on their menu. No picture because I was too hungry.

OMG the bagels here are the best we have had in Washington! We brought a 1/2 dozen home as well…read more While we were there, I had a burrito which was creative and inspired, deliciously tasty and filling! Best was the owner? at the register, warm and enthusiastic, who answered all of our questions about the menu so we would make the right choices for us. Anyone on the Seattle side of the sound should be going here first for bagels and delicious brunchy burritos, and then I dare you to tell me I was wrong! It appears to be a shared space with a different restaurant night spot, and it is self serve. Feels up and coming. I hope everyone will go enjoy the yummy offerings at Rachel's , we are so glad we found it!

Right across 7/11 on 92nd is blue saucer, serving up coffee, matcha, teas, pastries, and more. Definitely gives local neighborhood vibes with its rustic cabin look with indoor and outdoor seating. I decided to treat myself to a green M&M latte from their seasonal menu, which is a matcha latte with hemp milk, monkfruit sweetener, and coconut cream. Definitely a unique twist on a classic matcha drink, and I enjoyed that it wasn't super sweet. I also saw a few other items on their menu that looks intriguing, like a beet frappe, blossom fogs, and chaga frappes. I'll have to come by to try those next time. Theres lots of seating and free wifi available. They seem to be dog friendly as well. The baristas were all super nice and patient in explaining their different menu items.

For that, I am giving you three stars, but for everything else, I give one to two stars. The white rice is usually dry and just does not taste that good. Sesame noodles and are always way too salty. Spam musubi is way too salty (does it really need a salty sauce on top of already salty Spam?). Bok choy greens are not cooked right (they taste chewy) and way too salty. The mac salad is surprisingly not too salty but just bland. Sesame chicken is fried in a super thick batter and is goopy and hard rather than crispy and savory. Same goes for the fried cauliflower. We tried you EIGHT TIMES, Grillbird. We wanted to like you and gave you many chances, but alas, you have missed the mark too many times. We won't be back. ps. If you ever bring back your five-spice stewed beef, we might be back. That beef was amazing.

Really good Carribbean food! This location is located along the Green Lake trail so if walking the…read moreloop, this is a good place to stop by to grab a bite! There's inside and outdoor seating. Fun and tropical vibes, great for catching up with a group of friends. Dog friendly as well! Service is fast. You order at the register and they call your number. There is also a separate bar. Drinks / water, sauces and food is self serve. I tried the West Indies plate. Super juicy chicken thigh. Beans and rice were soft. The slaw was refreshing and cuts the heaviness of the meal (it has mangos!!). Add some of their spicy sauces if you want more flavor! It's spicy but not too bad. The highlight was the plantains and yuca fries. Plantains were soft and sweet. Yuka fries had a nice texture, crunchy exterior and fluffy starchy inside and with the dipping sauce !!

Fun, super casual, yummy food, super friendly staff…read more Bongos is a great spot for food that's a little different than anything else Green Lake has to offer. An assortment of Caribbean food - sandwiches, plates, bowls, and sides. There are so many good dishes, this is a place that I'm very familiar with, yet I never know what I'm going to order until I get to the counter. Maybe it'll be the Desi plate. Maybe it'll be the Veggie Platter. Sometimes I'll go with the Ropa Vieja. Maybe I'll try a sandwich with a side of yucca fries. If you're in Green Lake and looking for something to eat that's a little different than anything else you'll find around the lake, in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, definitely check out Bongos. One note of warning: it can get slammed with lots of people around prime dinner hours, especially on the weekend, so be prepared. Maybe grab a drink and a seat while you wait for your food.

I'm not a boba fan in general (way too sweet/cloying) so I get the fruit tea. I still find the "less sweet" modification too seeet so today I asked for half of the less sweet version and it was the perfect amount. Still sweet, not syrupy, and I could really taste the jasmine tea. It's a small shop with limited seating but fast and friendly service. Highly recommended if you're in the area and need a quick and delicious bite.

That texture was unpleasant but I don't see anyone else bring it up in the reviews...I hope it's a one time thing. I miss a good cold cut, so if I were to go next time, I'd go for the imperial city sandwich and get pork and cold cut in it. I also had the creme brûlée boba (less sweet) and it was phenomenal. They went so hard with the boba. I wasn't expecting the boba to be this good. I usually take like an hour to finish a drink, but it was so good that I couldn't stop myself from drinking until I finished it.
