1. Zeitgeist Kunst & Kaffee
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 583-0497
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
3 years later and this is still my go-to coffee shop in Seattle. It's got tons of comfortable seating, the coffee is _always_ fantastic and the baristas really know what they're doing. There's also more food options than most coffee places. I'm…More »

I'm spoiled - at my new work place there are 6 (that I can count) coffee places within a single… Read more »
2. Green Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 340-1388
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: International District
I've been here twice for lunch and come away impressed both times. The lemongrass chicken (and beef) and the vermicelli bowls are great - flavorful, spicy without being overwhelmingly so, and plenty of vegetables. Definitely better than your average…More »
3. Calozzi's
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 467-9449
Categories:
Cheesesteaks,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
Finally, finally, finally, someone who gets cheesesteak right in Seattle. I went to school near Philly for 4 years. I practically lived on South Street. I know what a cheesesteak is supposed to look, smell and taste like. Calozzi's does too.
I ordered…More »
4. Tat's Delicatessen
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 264-8287
Categories:
Delis,
Cheesesteaks,
Caterers
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
Now "tat's" what I'm talking about (I crack myself up). Seriously - real east coast-style greasy deli sammiches, real east-coast style surly attitude if you're not prepared to order your food when you get to the front of the line. Plus the prices are…More »
5. Elliott Bay Cafe - CLOSED
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 682-6664
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
American (New),
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
Discovered this lovely (not so) little cafe in the basement of the famous (but never visited by me) Elliott Bay Book Company in Pioneer Square.
Tons of variety in the soup and sandwich department, all cooked reasonably freshly (can't tell how much is…More »
6. Cafe Hue - CLOSED
Not just your typical pho place - I usually get the lemongrass chicken or other similar dish when I get here. It's come out to me quickly, I've never had to wait for a table and it's always been pretty tasty. Nothing revelatory but it's conveniently…More »
7. BOKA restaurant + bar
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 357-9000
Categories:
American (New),
Bars,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I've stayed at Hotel 1000 once before that was a fantastic experience, so it's kind of sad that BOKA doesn't quite live up to the Hotel it's in.
I really like BOKA's decor/ambience. I've had some amazing small plates here, and the burger is really…More »
8. The Brooklyn Seafood, Steak & Oyster House
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 224-7000
Categories:
Seafood,
Steakhouses,
American (Traditional),
Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I come here periodically for happy hour, and it's a better bargain than the lunch or dinner. Fun to get oysters and other noshes for a reasonable price, while drowning in your $10 martinis and soaking up the money-drenched atmosphere. Although…More »
9. Delicatus
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 623-3780
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
As a former east-coaster forever in search of a good deli in Seattle I'm happy to report that I've found a standout east-coast style one in Pioneer Square's Delicatus. I had the "Mountain" (pastrami, russian dressing, slaw, rye bread) which was…More »
10. Salumi Artisan Cured Meats
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 621-8772
Categories:
Italian,
Delis,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
Far be it from me to differ with the preceding 330 reviews, but even if I wasn't prone to group-think I'd be forced to give this place 5 stars. Salumi is fantastic, and probably the only place that's "worth the wait" in all of Seattle. From the…More »
11. Grand Central Bakery
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 622-3644
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
Started going here a few years ago when I needed a place to grab a sandwich or soup for lunch, and now that I'm back working in Pioneer Square (aka "preserving itself out of existence one rule at a time") I've already made my requisite stop.
Good…More »
12. Safeco Field
What's not to love - oh yeah, the Mariners, they suck. But you can hardly blame Safeco Field for the crap-sandwich that is the Seattle Mariners. Safeco has really good sight lines, the retractable roof is hella cool and the food choices beat the…More »
13. Asia Ginger Teriyaki
It's Teriyaki, you get it quickly, there are seats, I did not get food poisoning.
Note: If you go in the back entrance (no, that's not a euphemism) you want down a scary hallway where I fear the asian teriyaki mafia may shank me and steal my money,…More »
14. Starbucks
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 624-2561
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
They keep the line moving, you get what you expect, and I've never had them biff (mess up) a drink order. Otherwise it's exactly what you'd expect from a Starbucks. This place is definitely busiest in the morning when all the people coming into…More »
15. Pizza Pro
Reliable pizza place with great hours (esp. considering the neighborhood). I've had a number of slices here for lunch and it's always what I'd expect (hot, cheesy, not too greasy).
More importantly, I periodically order whole pies for my team when…More »
16. Temple Billiards
Great place to have a drink and have some pizza and play pool and shuffleboard - or combine all four of those into one incredibly reasonably priced office party.
Seriously - I think even with 3 drinks per person (top shelf, bottom shelf, no shelf) and…More »
17. Planet Java
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 340-8859
Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
I went here with 12 (count 'em) of my co-workers on a recent very early morning. They were able to seat us all in one giant booth (big plus), they took our orders and got us the food in a reasonable time-frame, all without screwing anything up.
Plus…More »
18. Caffe Umbria
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 624-5847
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
I like this place and their coffee a lot, but not quite as much as my favorite place (around the corner) in Seattle. I don't know why, but there's a slightly sterile vibe here instead of the homier Italian Cafe you'd expect.
But in the summer months…More »
