When I don't feel like making oatmeal.

 1. Protein Planet

415 Pike St
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 625-3203

Category: Juice Bars & Smoothies

Neighbourhood: Downtown

5.0 star rating
  6/25/2008

I had gotten a berry smoothie there as a treat before, and it was pretty good. But today, while running from one job to another (i.e. no time to sit down and eat anything), I decided to substitute lunch with their Peanut Better smoothie, and that…More »

Vashon, WA 98070
(206) 463-4635

Categories: Bakeries, Cafes

5.0 star rating
  2/17/2009

I suppose that if one lives in Seattle, one could decide to factor in the cost of transportation ($20+ for ferry, gas) and time (could be spent doing more productive things than eating) into the cost of a meal on Vashon Island. I can also tell you…More »

 3. The Elbow Room Café

560 Davie St
Vancouver, BC V6B 2G4

(604) 685-3628

Categories: Diners, Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Downtown

5.0 star rating
  9/20/2008

Two and a half stars for the food and just as many for the attitude. Even in my hungover stupor, I had to chuckle at a waiter that refers to our co-ed table as "ladies", calls my boyfriend a moron, and eventually makes him give a charitable donation…More »

 4. Linda's Tavern

707 E Pine St
Seattle, WA 98122

Categories: Bars, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill

5.0 star rating
  Update - 1/28/2011

Having already been here for brunch twice in the month or so since I moved to the Hill, my opinion of Linda's keeps getting better and better. I love that you can get a seat without a problem at 11 on a Saturday, I love that the portions are…More »

Neighbourhood: University District

4.0 star rating
  7/24/2007

So, has anyone had the chai oatmeal at this place? Because to this day, I still haven't been able to tear myself away from ordering a plate of those heavenly vanilla yogurt pancakes.

Why four stars then? The occasional wait (although it has never been…More »

(206) 784-5348

Category: Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Greenwood

4.0 star rating
  4/11/2009

Apparently, Beth's is a cool place to be at noon on Saturday or something, at least judging by the block-wrapping line we encountered this morning. Go figure. Beth's is good, but not an hour's wait good, we decided, and that's when we stumbled into…More »

4.0 star rating
  10/11/2009

I can't even begin to suggest that I'm a dim sum connoisseur of any kind, so I can't speak for those with more discerning tastes, but all of the food I had was delicious. I left in a sleepily-ever-after Chinese food coma. We finished eating at around…More »

Neighbourhood: Queen Anne

4.0 star rating
  9/25/2011

If you don't mind having to wait for a table, the 5 Spot is a great place for a weekend brunch.

The menu is concise enough to fit onto a single page, but it still boasts an ample selection of both sweet and savory options. I ordered the Red Flannel…More »

Neighbourhood: Wallingford

3.0 star rating
  12/24/2009

I have a couple of friends who go out for brunch almost every weekend, so I trust them to know the good breakfast spots in Greenwood and the surrounding areas. Last weekend, the boyfriend and I tagged along with them to Blue Star, which I was told…More »

Categories: American (Traditional), Diners, Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Green Lake

3.0 star rating
  8/22/2010

Beth's falls into that newly-forged category of greasy spoon diners that capitalize on their attitude and a 10-minute spot on the Travel Channel. You need a gimmick to join this club, and in the case of Beth's, it takes a 12-egg omelette and walls…More »

Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 632-6001

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: University District

3.0 star rating
  1/26/2009

Three stars for three things: the ambient decor with plenty of seating space, the hot turkey sandwich, and the only blueberry pancakes worth going out for. These are the things that, unlike everything else, do not feel overpriced.

I've never had an…More »

Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square

3.0 star rating
  3/10/2010

There is a depressing lack of good espresso downtown. Although I have probably been spoiled for life by Greenwood's amazing Neptune Coffee, I thought I'd give Pegasus a try for my pre-work Americano. It's right at my bus stop, and it apparently touts…More »

It's my boyfriend's birthday, and we decided to go out for brunch. Having been to all of its locations, we knew that you can always count on Portage Bay's food to be delicious as well as local and organic. Unfortunately, today I learned that one…More »

2.0 star rating
  8/29/2011

Things were really looking up when we first got to Sage's this morning. Without any wait, we were seated at a big table in an open, bright space that felt like an expanded restaurant version of your mother's cozy kitchen. The menu was short and…More »
