I’ve heard about this place for awhile and finally went in recently. Great vibe, food and staff. It opens early enough and can be a popular place per the breakfast and lunch rush. Ample seating both indoor and out. Excellent bread and food with many options to choose from. Coffee is cafe vita which I love! I had a very nice experience but wish there was wifi.
Being honest, I think the bagel isn't anything to write home about. It's better than a grocery store bagel, sure, but there's a dozen shops in Seattle that do a better bagel. Great garlic and herb schmear, though.
I give this a five star because it's easily the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. The dough is croissant-like in a perfect way, with an icing that's rich and not as sweet as it looks at a glance. Truly outstanding stuff.
This place rocks. Has the classic Seattle feel that seems harder to find these days. I have a thing for toasted garlic bagels, and haven't found anywhere else that has a legit garlic bagel, like they have here. Its absolutely delicious.
The mochas here are also great. They have a wonderful flavor.
There are also a bunch of other menu items I have yet to try. Sandwiches and a variety of pastries.
The service here has always been friendly, and they have never been understaffed, in my experiences.
I would recommend stopping in for coffee and something to eat or snack on. It seems like they have something for almost anyone.
Only thing I caution is the parking. My lowered vehicle has issues getting into the lot, and street parking is sometimes not possible to find.
