Poppinjay's A Cafe — Restaurant in Bellevue

I must first qualify this review by letting anyone who reads it it understand that this place is just a small lunch cafe locate in thr middle of an office complex. If you eat here its probably because you work on the building or are meeting with someone who works in the building.

With that being said I will say that service is fast and the staff is very friendly. I like the fact that the people who work here are always smiling.

All I had to do was mention it offhand and they immediately started pointing out what I could eat and wiping down the counter so they could make my food without breadcrumbs. The gluten free bread is delicious, and so is the black bean burger.

I’d post a picture of it but I ate it before I could...

The one star is not for the people who work there, at all. It is for the iPad and how it works constantly changes. Sometimes when you click it works. Sometimes not. Sometimes you see the breakfast menu. Sometimes not. It obviously annoys the employees (who I don't blame one bit) when they have to come over to exit out of the menu and back in. It was a terrible decision to just replace someone working the register for a POS solution that is indeed a...
