Really good coffee!


I can't say they're the best coffee in Seattle because I havn't tried all the coffee, but I bet they're close. So it's not a breakfast place, unless you're content with a scone, but I had to post them because one of the basics to a good breakfast is good coffee and they've got that down!

Doggies Welcome

If you don't mind sitting outside that is. They built a massive patio cover recently and there is a nice big fireplace to keep you warm. Though I can't say I've seen a fire in it...? I love this place. I always order the "Fetch" which is scrambled eggs over potato cakes with tomatoes, green onions, smoked apple bacon and cheddar cheese mmm mmm!! Their coffee is organic from the Portland Roasters, it's good. There's usually a wait, but walk inside, grab the mug of your choice, and fill er' up baby! Other menu options: good dog, bad dog, roll over... seriously Posted by Picasa

Seattle Time

Back to Seattle again. I can't resist. Ok, I admit I was drawn to this place because of the neon sign. It wasn't too bad. The food was good, they just didn't really have much of a selection. I'm kind of picky though. The prices were a wee bit on the high side, but it is Queen Anne's Hill after all. The music is loud, which is fun, if you're a morning person. The coffee was good and locally roasted, a definite plus!!

Update 7/09: I have been informed that Violet's is no longer open.
The corner cafe. This quaint little find is right on the corner of a little neighborhood. Good food, I like the creative selection. The coffee was good, I can't remember who the roaster was... very important! Fun atmosphere and very "decorated" staff. Seems to be a favorite, as there were plenty waiting. Bring your dog and sit outside!

The Montage Madness

Update 7/09: I noticed that Montage is now serving breakfast. I will try to get there soon to try it out and post it here for you. Has anyone gone for breakfast yet?
Ok, so it's not breakfast but you need to check this place out. I went here for my birthday and it was such a blast. Let me just say, they're known for their macaroni, and they have great macaroni
. I had the pesto and chicken, which was excellent but I tried their smoked cheddar and ham macaroni, yum "o" I'll be getting that next time. Their food is very reasonably priced. The fun part is they have really long tables and they just seat everyone together. So you may end up sitting with people you don't know. It's a great place to go with a group!

French toast with a crunch!

Alameda Cafe is located on Freemont. This is a good little breakfast nook. Literally a nook, it's pretty quaint inside. I think I remember the coffee here being pretty good. We sat outside in the sunlight next to the colorful flower boxes. My mom ordered the crunchy french toast, (I stole a bite) that's not actually what it's called I just can't remember. I'm sure they'd know what you were talking about if you tried to order it. It's yummy. Their food is well made just a wee bit on the pricey side, for my taste anyway.Posted by Picasa

Huckleberry pancakes

This is Genies. A new find for me. It is located at the corner of 11th and SE Division. Stumptown coffee, need I say more! But let me tell you about their huckleberry pancakes, actually you need to just try them for yourself. As my adopted dad says "they're forehead slappers!" This cafe has good atmosphere and nice servers. Their food is just good. Oh and fresh apple juice too. Posted by Picasa Genies is at portland.citysearch.com
