Fluffy lemon poppy seed pancakes with lemon butter , blueberry french toast , herbed omelette with goat cheese , coffee & hash-browns. Had their daily specials . Generous portion & so delicious!! 🥞

Haley Brown

One of Seattle's best breakfast spots , well worth the wait if you encounter one. Be sure to get a fresh, homemade biscuit instead of toast , they are delicious! Emerald Scramble is my go-to dish!

Mark Sturn

Hands down, probably the best French toast I've ever had. Good just on its own, the fresh maple syrup and fresh fruit is just icing on the cake . Eggs tasted farm fresh, tasty hash browns .

Jack Reeves

Some of the best food in the city , if not the state . World renowned french toast , unbelievably delicious hash and bfast sandwich plus many others.

Nivi

Wow, I didn’t think you could make something so simple like an Avocado omelet taste so good... but they did. And OMG the French Toast .

Rebecca Mazza

Everything is great! Corned beef hash , chicken steak , biscuits and gravy , and even the cocktails !

Tyler Butler

Best restaurant biscuits I've had, coming from someone who's grandmother bakes biscuits every morning for breakfast . Geraldine can't compete with Kathleen Butler, but she puts up a good fight!

Drew

Excellent vegetarian options for breakfast . The sourdough toast is thick and can be a bit tough to bite through - make sure to soak up some sauce with it!

Neel Hajare

This place gets crowded—even on weekdays there’s a line outside before 8am waiting for them to open. No outdoor seating , but if you order to go, there’s a food truck area nearby with covered tables

Adam Schofield

A little busy at peak times - Bloody Caesar was very tasty. Corned beef hash had tons of meat along with great veggies . Nice spot!

Matt

They have wonderful french toast , and super nice people.

Seattle Met

A swell place for French toast , hash browns , and coffee cakes by morning, chili and hand-formed burgers by night—from folks who value quality, in a room that has become the soul of its neighborhood . Read more

Food is excellent, always enjoyed the brunch here. Be prepared to wait awhile on weekends. Service is improving, waiter actually offered to split the check this time!

My favorite breakfast place. The bacon is awesome. Daily pancake and French toast flavors. Had Orange-Honey pancakes this morning. Bombsauce!

Başak Paşalı

Really good breakfast and quick service . Consider waiting time though for a table (maybe during pandemic times only. Dont know)

Martin Rogers

Best brunch in Seattle and an absolute must-visit if you're in the Columbia City area. The French toast is to die for.

French toast is super crispy 😋 and sugary. Highly recommend.

Reuben is amazing. Mac n cheese is great too. The bathroom signs also make me laugh. Hitting all high marks!

Breakfast is bomb. We shared cornmeal pancakes with strawberries and the Emerald City Omelette .

Claudia Fernandez

The food was great and the services was better, not sure where you get you coffee beans from but it was really good. :)

Mel

Such good food. The portions are huge, be prepared to share or take home leftovers.

Viv

The Bacon , Egg & Arugula Sandwich is really good. I substitute Avocado for the Bacon & get fries instead of hash browns .

The Seattle Times

Ethereal pancakes might taste of orange and honey one morning, but the flavors rotate daily. So does the topping for the French toast . Eat breakfast for lunch or lunch for breakfast . Read more
