    Bbq wagyu beef pie
    Berneta A.

    We went for the Pies & Pints after 4pm promotion ($35 per person, which includes your ride up the Space Needle) and tried the wagyu beef BBQ pie. Overall, it was a delicious, savory snack. The BBQ sauce inside made it a bit messy, but very flavorful. While most of the beef was tasty, a few pieces were slightly chewy. Still, it's a great deal if you're looking for something fun and different to do. Pro tip: We arrived right at 4pm and it was already packed. The counter near us mentioned they ran out of pies around 5pm, which led to about a 20-minute wait. This happened a couple of times while we were there, so definitely go early if you're hungry. Great snack, friendly counter servers, and it's also a really nice way to see the sunset.

    I decided to try one of their tip top pies and went for the wagyu beef BBQ pies. This was a first for me to try, different way of enjoying a meat "pie" The middle of the pie had a large piece of wagyu beef with great flavors surrounded by this BBQ sauce. For a snack, this was very savory and I felt full afterwards. I enjoyed my pie while viewing the city from up top of the space needle. Service was slow during the time I was there, only one cashier was assisting and it would take sometime before she could move on to the next customer. But, otherwise, a quick life-saver for those who get hungry during their adventures here at the space needle.

    Super quick service, and surprisingly quality food. Lots of options, both sweet and savory. Though no GF pie options as far as I could tell. My friend was super impressed by the wagyu beef pie, said it was notably moist, flavorful, and tender. The soft serve is flavored by the outside swirl, and there were a ton of options. Service was quick, friendly, and you can't beat the scenery! Lots of seating nearby along the edge when we stopped by also.

    A small cafe serving drinks and meat/sweet individual pies on top of the space needle. Definitely one of a kind and if you are thirsty or hungry, there is no other choice really. I feel the pies are decently priced but felt the drinks and even the water bottle is overpriced due to its location. Quick service despite there's only one person working. Off to the food review! 3.7/5 - Apple Pie - Eat these as fast as possible. As when it's flaky and crispy it is at its best. One bite I felt the coldness of being on top of the needle and outside is worth it. Sweet chunks of apple with each bite, but I felt a bit more cinnamon would have pushed the pie to the next level. Only choice really of a place if you are hungry or parched, but nothing special that you need to stop by. Cool that it's just not a sandwich or normal cafe, but it being overpriced was a slight turn off. Still not bad for what it is.

    The pies come in savory and sweet and are absolutely delicious!!! We had the cherry pie made with Rainier Cherries. The apple pie in which the apples were covered in bourbon and brown sugar!!! The pig in a blanket and the ham and cheese pies were all amazing!!!! If you get the premium combo for $30 you get a pie and a keepsake tumbler with coffee!!!!! It has a cool gravity hold and won't tip over! Service was super helpful and friendly!!! The place was super clean and very well organized and the line moved fairly fast!

    This kept the pies nice and hot

    The only reason why I risked my sanity to ride the open air elevator all the way up the Space Needle was to check this pie place out! My kids and I were in town looking for touristy things to do. They mentioned the Space Needle. I was planning to talk them out of it when I saw on the website that on the top of the space needle, is the best mini pies in town. I was sold. It was a very scary ride up and when we got to the top, the kids went out to explore the scenery, while I was glued to the wall. I smelt coffee so I inched my way to where the smell was coming from. As I got closer I can smell pies coming out of the oven. I ordered coffee, peach pie and apple pie. ALL was delicious! I would love to get another one next time I am in town, but I really can't do that elevator and height again, so I'll have to get someone to go up there and pick one up for me . lol

    At the top of the space needle. It is just a little shop but gets very busy. They sell pies both sweet and savory and cinnamon rolls. You can get them with ice cream as well. They also sell drinks. The pore was great crispy light crust and packed with fruit! We got the cherry pie but they also have Apple and rhubarb strawberry and some meat pies. The I've cream was so good and smooth. Highly recommend. You can sit and look out of the tower while you eat it.

    What a hidden gem!! I really love how smooth and creamy the ice cream is. I got the strawberry + raspberry with a sweet cream base and it was delicious. The ice cream color is gorgeous. I definitely tasted the fresh raspberry seeds but I think freeze dried strawberries were used whereas I would've preferred fresh. The employees were super kind and helpful. A must try if you're in the area

    Cute little cafe in the Seattle Space Needle. They offer local craft beers and cute pastries. The service was great! The pastries were delicious. We both really liked the beers.

    Ham & cheese croissant
    Chylsi C.

    How can you not love a cafe in the space needle?! It was cute, clean, and had a decent selection of goods. We got a ham & cheese croissant, it was much better than the airport ham & cheese but I probably won't have a craving for it.

    Curry pie
    Hemali S.

    Love the pastries! We got the apple and the curry one! Sweet and savory! It was very cold and windy up on top so was nice and warm to eat! So flaky so wear appropriate clothes!

    Great pies! Prices are reasonable. There also seems to be a few deals/combos (with drinks) available. Friendly staff. Enough seating area to take in the views. The pies smelled great immediately stepping off the elevator. Ordered the Beef IPA pie as well as the Pecan pie. The beef one was SO delicious, and for only $13 - a must get!

    Sausage roll and hazelnut latte! :)

    Honestly thought it was going to be some crap pastry up-charging tourist fees as a cafe at the top of Space Needle.

    My quest to visit every Rachel's Ginger Beer location in Seattle continued across the street from…read morethe Amazon Spheres! We ordered the Blood Orange and Pink Guava RGBs. The first sip is genuinely euphoric -- the mellow bite of the ginger and perfect level of fizzy carbonation pleasurably tingle and mingle with your tongue, while the fruity flavors of tart blood orange and tropical guava brighten the party with a refreshing splash. The ginger is not overpoweringly strong that it comes up your nose, and the blood orange and guava are deliciously subtle instead of tasting artificial. I know it's basically just soda, but it's so finely-tuned to be an immaculate symphony of harmonious flavors and sensations in your mouth, from the level of sweetness and carbonation to having just the right amount of punch from the ginger. The interior is not very well-lit but feels modern and bar-like with a lot of seating for just relaxing and sipping your RGB while enjoying the view of the Spheres. Overall, this is an amazing spot to stop by and grab an amazingly refreshing drink after visiting the Spheres or walking around downtown!

Alas Total Wine's internal system takes several days for inventory to reflect on the system to make it available for online ordering so we reluctantly ordered from a different business instead. But if we're ever in the area again we will happily do business with them! PS Marlo at the 800# also did his best to help

    This is my favorite Total Wine & More location…read more First off, the parking lot is huge. Even though it's shared with a bunch of other businesses, there's never an issue finding a spot. The store itself is spacious and well-stocked. It has a large variety of all kinds of alcoholic beverages, and surprisingly, there's even a non-alcoholic selection, too. One time, a worker was sampling some non-alcoholic wine, and I gave it a try. Holy crap my eyes were opened to a whole new world and I fell in love with it (Giesen). I would never have known about this NA wine if it weren't for the samples. Speaking of sampling, they do samplings pretty frequently (I believe Thurs-Sat or Sun). This way you can try new things before purchasing. The staff is always asking if we have any questions and are so helpful. Last but not least, even the cashiers are super chill and pleasant to talk to. Thumbs up!

    I love my pizza from Coltiva! I came here for a group dinner on a weeknight and it was fairly busy…read more It looks small in the front but has a much bigger space when you go in the back. They have an authentic pizza oven so it gets a nice char on the crust. I thought the flavor of the dough was pretty good. I ordered the dishes and fennel pizza. I thought this was a nice combo and had a good amount of both sausage and fennel on top. The sauce was tasty too! The pizza was quite large so o would suggest sharing with 1-2 people. I also had some of the caprese salad and it was great! Had a nice pesto sauce and balsamic drizzle. I'd like to come back here to try some of their apps and drinks.

    this place is fine. what upsets me is that they advertise their hours wed-sat open till 11 pm. i…read morewent a few weeks ago around 10 and the doors were locked despite people inside. i knocked and the waiter waved me off and said were closed. okay fine... so today... i go to place an online order for pick up at 8:30 pm. again, it says they are open till 11 on a thursday. alas, they are not accepting online orders at this time. so i call... and my clock now says 8:33 pm. i ask, what time are you open till? the man says.. mmmm idk? maybe 9 pm? kitchen closing at 8:30? and i say.. sir it is 8:33. and he replies.. well then, the kitchen is closed. REAL COOL OF YALL TO HAVE INCORRECT HOURS AND SOME KIND YOLO SCHEDULE. please be edit your hours for accuracy. even if you wanna put like a we close when we feel like it, it'd respect you a bit more. anyway, pizza is fine. but i really just hate their dumb lack of consistent hours.
