If you're in the mood for a sweet breakfast , the French toast is the way to go. So delicious. Top it off with some fresh fruit and whipped cream from the complementary "breakfast bar ."

Jack Zaw

If you are looking for a perfect brunch on a weekend, this is the right place. Try their various selection of Egg Benedict ranging from wild-mushrooms to salmon and more.

Miraj Shah

Farmer's hash and oatmeal crusted french toast danced in my mouth! (Big portions too). The fresh, local ingredients are tasty, and you can gorge on fresh berries at the Breakfast Bar

Hanan Mal

West coast Benedict is perfectly cooked! Roasted potatoes where sweet and crispy . The unlimited fresh toppings for pancakes and french toast is such a great idea! Unfortunately coffee was terrible!

Justin McKissick

Just go. Everything is good. If you love anything and everything breakfast , this is the best place I've gone to in Seattle.

Spencer Sorrell

Came Saturday PM for brunch . Food was incredible (Pancakes : Buckwheat , Classic, Swedish, Rancher's Breakfast ). Take a trip to the fruit bar ! A particular waiter needed a lesson in personal hygiene....

WhiskyAvenger

I highly recommend coming here for brunch when in Seattle. Service,food and coffee are great.

Skyler Loth

Called in and wasn't too much of a wait. They also have daily specials yum. If you like eggs Benedict then you're in for a treat: there were 5 different types when I was here

Kristen Johnson

There's really no better brunch place in all of Seattle. For $15 you can get the freshest and most savory foods of the Pacific Northwest. Get the Rancher's breakfast !

Their salmon egg benedict is perfect delicious, the swedish pancakes is okay, I didn't like the fruit bar they're not so fresh! The coffee is bad😅

Philip Seifi

Excellent, healthy foods , particularly a great choice of breakfast dishes .

Vanessa White

Delicious!! Get pancakes or French toast and go to the fruit bar , you won't regret it.

Kanin S.

Great place for breakfast or brunch , with unlimited toppings for pancakes and such. Booking is recommended though.

Jeff Smith

Buckwheat pancakes are amazing, especially with fresh fruit and whipped cream from the breakfast bar .

Sofie Gogic

Gluten free French toast is unbelievable for those of us with the intolerance. Just subbed gluten free for the special French toast with nectarine compote, nom!!

Mark Sullivan

Fabulous brunch sport on a Sunday morning, but be prepared to wait, the place is big, but it is also packed.

Diana Brody

The crab benedict is so, so good! Plus, great hot sauces and a lovely outdoor space for brunch .

Clif Barnes

GF Swedish pancakes are mega dope. / avoid seats by berry bar . Lots of coming and going thru side door - walkin

Stephanie Volckmann

the buckwheat porridge w/ carob chips is horrendous. if I were truly vegan , that would send me to the closest steakhouse for a giant cut of porterhouse steak . and I LOVE most food.

Erika Rae Wulfert

Really good organic/local rotating menu...they really do it up nicely with fresh everything

Joey Arceo

Rancher's Breakfast and the pancake bar . Chicken apple sausage or peppered bacon will do you well either way. Just go with it.

Lisa V

Great place for brunch , though it gets crowded fast on weekends. The swedish crepes are delicious. Excellent toppings bar for pancakes .

Aaron Lim

Get rancher's breakfast . Syrups and fruits on the bar to add to your pancakes . Very packed for Saturday brunch/breakfast.

Asha

Pork belly eggs Benedict !! Great coffee too and all the juice is fresh

Edy Kizaki

Great berry bar for the pancakes and waffles ! Wonderful omlettes and excellent coffee . Everything is healthy and sustainable and yummy!

Desiree Hicks

Mimosas and French Toast on challah bread ?! Amazing combo with the 'Breakfast Bar ' <3

Becca H

Amazing food. Pricey but worth it.

Sarah Joshi

Gluten free French toast - so so so good.

Jenn P

Delightful breakfast spot . Good selection. Always busy, make a reservation .

Christopher Bloczynski

For brunch on Sundays, I fully recommend anything that you can take to the toppings bar ... it's amazing! Also, call ahead to put your name on the wait list. Sometimes they quote over an hour wait!

Eboni Lovell

Sooooo good. Excellent specials and regular items. Try the French toast , and any of the omlets are delicious!

Lisa Hinchliffe

Love that coffee is provided while waiting to be seated. This place understands priorities.

Ya G

Reservations will avoid the 40 minute wait on weekends. Get the phil's breakfast w/ fried eggs , bacon & French toast on challah bread .

Matthew Inman

One of the best breakfasts in Seattle. The side of toast alone is an atom bomb of delicious in your mouth.

Nancy Nguyen

For waiting about 30 mins to be seated, I expected more. Food was good, but not worth the wait. It's cool that they use local and organic products . Come early on a weekday to avoid the long wait .

Katie Yamada

Toppings bar , breakfast food , omelette , chorizo , French toast

Sarah Kawachi

Pancakes Dave's way, perfect portion size and you get a trip to the toppings bar !

Jason Chan

The house-smoked wild salmon hash with grilled organic vegetables , scrambled eggs , toast , and a cup of coffee was one of the BEST brunches I've ever had. Read more

Sannidhi 🐾

Swedish pancakes with unlimited toppings bar .

Clayton Hibbert

They take reservations for breakfast . Highly recommended. The wait is often 45-60 minutes otherwise.

Kumiko I

Fabulous spot for a big, hearty brunch ; focus on fresh, local products . Many of the breakfast items (such as French toast ) include a free trip to the fruit bar .

Jacob Morris

Great weekday lunch spot . Less busy, great menu, enough food for 2 meals - Club sandwich with potatoes is particularly delicious and filling.

Eva Liang

Great breakfast bar selection with unlimited toppings!

Josh Ehlke

Getting a reservation is a pointless endeavor. It reduces your hour wait to 55 mins.

Scott

So many choices. Something for everyone.

Jordana Saletan

A little pricey for what you get with the lunch menu . But the food is great.

sophie h

Avocado and crab toast

Logan Kerr

Anything that gets you a shot at the bar
