Le Pichet, you are one of those secrets that I want to keep in my back pocket forever.  You're adorably tucked in the middle of a busy downtown street, glowing Parisian style from the glass windows and the teeny outdoor tables.  Your waitresses have…More »

Mmm, frozen custard.  I'd thought you were lost to the wilds of Wisconsin, but thankfully I found you back in Seattle.  Better than that, you come with a huge blackboard full of menu selections, a friendly staff that immediately asks if you want to…More »

We stopped by Le Panier during our walk around Pike Place Market and picked up an assortment of macarons and sable cookies.  UNF.  Though it's a PITA to maneuver the crowds and wait in the inevitable long line, every bite was worth it.

I've only been here for brunch, but Julia's gets it right every time.  Service is friendly and attentive, and I love the cabaret environment.  Coffee could be better (and what's up with the little disposable creamers?) but the food is delish and…More »

Glo's is a tiny, unassuming place - easy to miss if you're driving by, save for the lingering folks waiting outside for a table.  Having said that, my friend and I were two of those lingerers the morning after my red-eye flight to Seattle.  I can't…More »

Came here with friends during a Seattle visit, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip.  Great rustic farmhouse setting with lots of portraits on the walls.  I ordered the delicious fried chicken with collard greens and amazing potato salad…More »

I could write ballads about Stumptown Coffee while sipping their delicious brew.  Suffice to say, when we found this coffee shop prior to a SeattleU campus tour, I squealed with glee.   Bright location with limited seating and plenty of fresh air…More »

Caffe Ladro is my must-go-to coffee place whenever I'm visiting Seattle, just because of the friendly baristas and wonderful mochas.  Don't forget to pick up a cinnamon bun on the way out - no raisins, which is a plus in my book!

Having missed out on Montreal-style bagels since I moved away from the hometown, Eltana was a refreshing surprise after friends took me here for breakfast one morning.  Though I was disappointed at the lack of Montreal-style smoked beef, Eltana seems…More »

Laidback is the quintessential adjective for 22 in Capitol Hill.  For the fact that a group of us showed up for early brunch and steadily increased in numbers throughout the meal, the staff was kindly accommodating in allowing us to rearrange their…More »
