Gift Tips
- Order one of the Benedicts, such as the Seattle Benedict or smoked salmon Benedict, for a popular savory choice with local flavor.
- Go for the lemon ricotta pancakes or French toast if you want a sweeter breakfast that still feels filling.
- Consider the breakfast burrito or migas if you want a hearty meal with plenty of flavor and a big portion.
- If the weather is nice, ask for patio seating or the outdoor covered area for a more relaxed meal.
- Make a reservation ahead of time, especially for weekend brunch, since the dining room can fill up quickly.
- Ask about the seasonal specials, which can include dishes like crepes, French toast, or unique Benedict variations.
- Leave room for the house-made pancakes, which are known for their large size and fluffy texture.
- If you want a lighter option, the restaurant offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices that still feel hearty.

Was delighted to find this breakfast spot a block away from our accommodations. Got there by 9:30 am on the Tuesday of UW move-in week and missed the crowd.... read review
Nice vibe, friendly servers. The bathrooms are clean.
Huckleberries are rare on a menu, so selecting this dish from the otherwise expansive menu was easy.... read review

Our lattes were not drinkable (and I'll drink a bad latte/coffee)... read review
