Seattle | Cozy Winter Brunch & Café Spots

☕️ Oddfellows Café + Bar 📍 Capitol Hill This is an incredibly popular brunch spot in Caphill. When I arrived at 10 AM, it was already packed—but the turnover is pretty quick. The food was solid—I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict with Avocado 🥑. The drinks are strong; a single mimosa gave me a pleasant little buzz! I still miss their old café inside the Elliott Bay Book Company next door—it was so cozy. I used to spend entire afternoons there, and it reminded me a bit of WuXi's Qianfeng Bookstore ❤️. 💰 The prices are very reasonable! These days, brunch with drinks in Seattle easily runs $50+ per person, but my bill here came to just $40 after tax and tip. ☕️ Cedar + Elm 📍 Kirkland - St. Edward State Park The park is truly beautiful—the entrance road was so scenic I had to pull out my phone and record a video. The hotel is elegant, with an art gallery hallway, making it a popular spot for social media check-ins. That said, I found the food just okay. 💰 I had lunch, a fruit & yogurt bowl, a mimosa, and coffee—total was $60 for one. ☕️ Dote Coffee Bar 📍 South Lincoln Square Dote is one of my favorite coffee shops—their pastries are both beautiful and delicious. The Chocolate Croissant is packed with rich chocolate, and the Almond Cake is soft and fragrant (though a bit sweet). Their Milk Chocolate by the Jar is my absolute favorite—creamy but not overly sweet. #Seattle #SeattleFood #SeattleCoffee #SeattleLife #SeattleGuide #SeattleWeekend #Brunch #Weekend
