Fresh, healthy, delicious food done right. Our favorite place when we want to treat our taste buds and our body right. :) This one is NOT the place when you crave soul food. Have the best griddle pancakes though.

Thai food without the 'how spicy do you want it'. They do a certain style of Thai food from a particular region and everything on the menu is good to great. For Thai food lovers this is the place to try.

Go for the Sunday Chef's choice if you can. It's not pricey for the quality and the variety of food you'll be served. Recommend at least 2, 3-4 people is the ideal number to try everything from the kitchen that day.

A very famous brunch place, expect long wait times if you show up at regular hours. Go early if you want to get seated on time. Benedict's are their thing and surrounded by a few other cute businesses. Worth checking out.

Our favorite little spot in Pike Place Market. The owner is usually bartending there himself. A small selection to pick from, can't go wrong with anything off the menu.

Quote from Seattle Magazine: "The moniker is fun, uniquely memorable and comes from a David Bowie song. But the naming isn’t solely why this bar has been one of the year’s most anticipated. Instead, it’s the ownership: longtime KEXP deejay John Richards, aka “John in the Morning,” soon-to-be-doctor and Pair Music Collective partner Amy Richards, Steven Severin (co-owner of Neumos and more) and Woodchuck PR’s Leigh Sims. It’s also the concept behind the bar: sharing love for good music, good vegan food and good drinks."

Coffee and Ice Cream

For the bitter and sweet tooth!
OMG! They have the best flavors and it's not as crazy packed as Salt & Straw! Love the Nutella Banana or Rose Pistachio.
