Incredible little restaurant in the W Hotel in Seattle. I wish I would have taken a picture on my Avocado Toast with an egg, but fear not.....here is a picture of my oatmeal cookies!!!! Yum!! Service was great! Loved the staff. The manager was very attentive. Highly recommended. A little pricey, but then, so is the whole city of Seattle. A one night stay at the W Hotel was $700.00. read more

Don't let the name deceive you; I had ignored this place on my nearby since I thought it was a market inside of a hotel but no it is an amazing breakfast spot! I had the Hawaiian eggs benedict which have spam and Hollandaise and omg it was so good. The potatoes were also perfectly crispy and delicious. For my drink I had a salted caramel mocha from their seasonal drinks menu and it was excellent. Not too sweet and just right on temperature and flavor. Service was friendly and attentive - you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. Overall ambiance was peaceful - there were a lot of other people there but I got a nice quiet table by the window. read more

I'm visiting from San Diego and lucky to find this little cafe. The food was really good. Excellent service from a very friendly staff who go above and beyond. The blueberry muffin was one of the best I've ever had. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Seattle. read more

Inside Seattle W downtown hotel, modern design,long table , small table and high table seating. No issues with crowd, come whenever. Oder at the counter and a number will be assigned. The staff who took my order did not have warm greeting, more sounded like she had a bad rush day. And they got my drink order wrong once ( ordered matcha latte , got me mocha , and he made a right one later ). The food and drink quality is good, not much service here, and on the pricy side. read more

We stayed here for one night in the hotel and it was great. We came down to have some breakfast and boy was the line long! My breakfast bagel was very delicious. I will say it was very pricey. My husband got the loco moco and was very disappointed because of the price and how much food it was. It also didn't say in the description that there was kimchi on it. If he had known he wouldn't have ordered it. That kind of ruined his breakfast. Coffee was decent as well. The service was nice and friendly. read more

The bagel, strudel, and coffee were all delicious, and the staff were wonderful! We stopped by after a pop-up event for Alien: Earth, and the staff were quick to assist us. They were super welcoming! After receiving food, one of the staff even stopped by our table to give us recommendations on places to visit nearby, focusing on wonderful places for matcha. Even as a local, I appreciated their insight. read more

Stayed in the hotel so had breakfast here for convenience but was pleasantly surprised with the food quality. They were serving Hawaiian style dishes and appreciated the creativity from home made spam to kim chi Rueben sandwich. Stopped by the second day for breakfast as we were encourage decided to try the pastry and was also surprised it was better than expected. Vegetable quiche was good and the hazelnut cheesecake. Staff was friendly too. read more

I had the scallion bagel sandwich for breakfast. It is amazing. I asked the server for her recommendation between it and the chorizo wrap, and she confirmed those were her two favorites, so it was a hard choice, but you can't make a bad choice. The egg was cooked just right, slightly soft and runny yolk without being completely messy. The bacon is thick enough to cook crispy without becoming dry and crumbly. The bagel was obviously fresh with just the right level of chewiness. Next time I'm near here for breakfast I'll be tempted to try the wrap, but it will be hard not to decide to experience this exquisite sandwich again. It's marvelous. read more

Service and food are great. Prices are way too high- 2 coffees and a breakfast sandwich was $45. They add a 15 percent "service charge" to all orders. No one could tell me exactly what that is- "it isn't quite a tip but I can leave a tip if I want." There is no signage among this and it seems lame. I usually tip 20 percent so 15 is low. I added to it but a better explanation would be good. Yesterday I left a 20 percent tip on top (my fault for not looking at the bill) and no one said anything to alert me I was leaving 35 percent... Just seems slimy. read more

What a great place located in the heart of downtown Seattle. We went for breakfast since it was just a block from our hotel. A long line does form but was usually gone after 9. Coffee is great, the avocado toast was one of the best I've had, staff is really friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Located inside W Seattle my husband ordered a few drinks and an appetizer as we were awaiting our dinner to be delivered. He called and the order was brought to the room within less than 15 minutes. Room service has social distancing enforced and are leaving the orders at the door with items sealed for patrons protection (very nice.) He really enjoyed his drinks Rye Tye, and the fancy fries were pretty good as well. read more

It's ok. I had a credit from my hotel stay at the W. The açaí bowl is a chia bowl with maybe a tiny bit of açaí? It has a base of mostly chia and a touch of açaí, with some dried and fresh fruit. It's ok. I got some to go stuff with the credit I had, which was nice. Man working the register was short, not friendly at all. The barista and severs were great, though. read more

Excellent options next to the W hotel. Good local coffee from Fonte and a wonderful assortment of bakery items and sandwiches too. And they have Hone Matcha too. Great friendly fella at the register who was efficient in taking my order. Wish I knew about this earlier in our visit read more

Tried 5/7 of their breakfast items. My favorite is the avocado toast. It's a fresh take on a classic breakfast item. The blazing bagel sandwich was extremely messy to eat because all the sauces were dripping. The bagel itself was slightly burnt. The sandwich itself would be good if they put less sauce The breakfast casserole was ok, but very carb filled and not much veggies. It was just cheese, egg, potato, and sausage. There was little spinach and cherry tomatoes given on the side and the menu made it seem like the herbs would be mixed into the casserole which they weren't. They gave some bread on the side, which was slightly burnt. The fuel bowl is good if you are a fan of kimchi. It is packed with nutrients The cinnamon rolls were decent, just your classic cinnamon rolls. I've also tried the banana bread, matcha scone, and croissant. The bakery items were all fine. One downside is they over heat it and borderline burn them when you ask for them warmed up. I think they just run their toaster/oven for slightly too long because all the breads and bakery items came out slightly burnt. read more

I was in the area during a work conference and found Trace to have a ton of positive reviews. I decided to stop in for breakfast with a coworker, and was pleased to find the reviews to be on point. I loved their breakfast bagel and my coworker raved about the avocado toast. I highly recommend stopping in and checking out the menu. read more

Based off of their breakfast menu, this is a solid choice. For those staying in the attached W hotel, I would venture out due to the price to quality ratio. I wouldn't consistently seek out this place among the myriad other options Seattle has to offer, but I liked it. I strongly recommend the herbed donut with poached eggs. The clearly fresh donut had a delicious balance of a classic flavor with a hint of herbiness - it seemed like rosemary thyme to me. The sweetness of the syrup balanced the savory hints, though I couldn't discern any notes from the alleged bourbon barrel aging. The eggs were nicely poached and plated with two stiff pieces of bacon. It felt decadent but not heavy as a breakfast meal. The breakfast buffet is just ok, serving warm eggs, potatoes, yogurt, fresh fruit. It's a bit messy up there, so if you have super strong dietary restrictions or allergies I would stick to a menu item. They never refilled some dishes when they ran out and the warm items were unevenly heated. At a $25 price tag, this isn't worth it. Service was decent for a weekend morning and they weren't particularly busy. For the amount of employees I saw, I'd expect our order to be taken faster, but the kitchen moves quickly. read more

Good food and drink options and great daily happy hour from 3pm-8pm! This restaurant/lounge is in the first level of the W Hotel. They frequently have live performers in the back corner, making this a loud and lively spot (in case you were looking for something on the quieter side for a date - this is not it!) The servers here were nice and on top of things despite the chaos of loud music, loud patrons, and a private group party in the middle of the room. My water glass was always replenished and several people came to check on me during the course of the 2 hours I was there. My friend was super late in meeting me so I felt bad about locking down a high top for so long - nobody at the lounge pressured me finish up or move to accommodate other parties and I didn't feel rushed in the least. They have plenty of tables available for dinner but nobody was eating dinner during the loud musical performance from 6-8pm. The food was very good, especially the Brussels sprouts and the poke tostada. My only complaint was that for $7 the poke tostada could have been a poke bowl or poke burrito down the street at Pokeworks or another poke spot. And the bar stools don't have back support..that becomes painful after awhile. read more

NINE DOLLARS for a bowl of oatmeal? Are you joking? I opted for a scone, and got a 75 cent "service charge" added to my $4 bill. What "service" am I paying for? Taking the scone out of the case? Crazy! read more

Our room at the W was still being prepped during a very busy Torchlight parade weekend (NOTE TO SELF: This takes place right outside of the W / TRACE every year so it's perfectly located to take in the action) and had a great experience. I've been there a few times but it had been awhile since I usually frequent places closer to the water when I'm in downtown, so I forgot how great this place is. They offer happy hour from 3-8pm every day - not just weekdays - which means that it's very easy to take advantage of. Their HH includes $5 beers, $6 house wine and some food items including garlic fries and edamame. The edamame on happy hour is $6 and includes sesame seeds, chives and a sweet chili sauce. It's very good and much more healthy than eating fries, so it's a great happy hour option. They also have a house IPA made by Sea pine in Sodo called the WIPA which is very good. I didn't get a chance to try the Rose ice cream dessert, so I may be back for that soon. The service is nice and attentive, the atmosphere is typical W; meaning very hop and trendy. They also don't charge for soda water (a pet peeve of mine) so I highly recommend this place. I just have to remember about it next time I'm in downtown Seattle! read more

Delicious options- definitely splurge on the cinnamon bun! The seasonal flavors offered for the lattes were delightful!

My family and I came here when visiting Seattle, and I would definitely come back! The bagel sandwich was one of the best I've ever had and the homemade bagel itself was so soft! The croissant sandwich was decent too. The coffee was strong! Service was good and the cafe had an interesting interior. read more

Location - In the heart of downtown Seattle inside the W hotel. Parking - Not sure since its limited parking around here. Venue - Chill place with seating around the fire, cool little area to sit around, dj area with no dj, and its a bit dark in here. Service - A bit slow as they only had one person working in the front. Food - The food here is avg you would expect a bit better from a venue like this. Drinks - Presentation is great but taste is decent. Prices - Avg going prices for a place like this. Overall its a ok place but if they had bettter ingredients on drinks, more staff, and a bit more fresh food. read more

Liked this place so much we are here 2 weekends in a row. Not exactly cheap but what is in downtown Seattle. Jalapeño bagel sandwich was AMAZING. We also had different variations of their pastries which were on point. My partner ordered a coffee by a name you'd typically get at a well know coffee shop started in Seattle and the person taking our order was good enough to point out that it was going to taste completely different and be bitter the way that particular drink is truly supposed to be made. The coffee was well made and all of the staff were very nice. read more

Checked into the W Hotel last night quite late (around 1030pm. Since airport & plane food isn't exactly post worthy my wife & I thought we would grab a quick bite downstairs. We got the pork sliders & decided to share the tots. The service was quick & the place is nicely decorated. However, if a place can't serve some decent tots, you have to question the rest of the food. The bowl of tots came out & in the words of the server "the bowl was blazing hot" so we approached with caution. To our surprise, the tots were warm at best & literally tasted like cardboard. I immediately started to get flashbacks from Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares shows & how he used to rip it out of the restaurant for serving bland or microwaved food. Not good. In the future I highly recommend serving fresh tots instead of the things in the picture... #Ifyoucantcooktotsyouhaveaproblem read more

My receipt says Sal at top so I will assume that is name of guy who rang us up morning of February 18th , extremely unfriendly to point of rude . Wife and I stayed at The Executive Hotel Pacific which is connected to Trace Market so went their for breakfast right after waking up . Maybe because we were not dressed to the nines being we had just came from our hotel room to grab a quick bite before getting ready for the day that he decided he would have the attitude of looking down at us . He seemed out off that he even had to take customers orders . Maybe had the food actually been good or even the service once we were seated I could give this 2 stars but no overpriced , rude service and bland food . Avoid if you can and save your time and money read more

Cannot recommend this place. $79.00 breakfast for 2 people. Classic breakfast, yogurt parfait, fruit. Water machine was broken, so we had to buy water. Best thing was the cafe Americano. Everyone was hustling, but they needed more help. read more

Sat down in the lounge - waited for 5 mins with no server insight. Moved to the end of the lounge that is near the bar- sat down for another 5 mins. Went up to the bar, asked if I need to order at the bar. No- my order will be taken at the lounge. Sat back down for another 5 mins. A guy sits at the table next to me, within 1 minute the server walks past me, and to him. She talks to him, then walks past me again. Is this because I am a women sitting alone? I got up and left. I am confused on why I was simply invisible to this staff. Very upsetting. Will definitely impact my choice to stay at the W in future business trips. read more
