Issaquah Cafe — Restaurant in Issaquah

Charming and Delicious Dining. My recent visit to the Cafe was a delightful experience that left me thoroughly impressed. This charming eatery offers a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and a menu filled with delicious comfort food that makes it a perfect spot for breakfast or brunch.

Delicious and Generous Portions: The food is hearty and satisfying. I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict and was pleased with the generous portion size and the perfectly poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was rich and flavorful, complementing the dish beautifully. My dining companion enjoyed the Blueberry Pancakes, which were fluffy and packed with fresh blueberries. The accompanying bacon was crispy and delicious. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from traditional breakfast items to more creative dishes, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Cozy and Inviting Atmosphere: The ambiance is warm and welcoming, with a cozy, rustic decor that makes you feel right at home. The seating is comfortable, and the layout of the cafe allows for both intimate tables and larger group settings. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a leisurely meal.

Friendly and Attentive Service: The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and quick to offer recommendations. Despite the cafe being busy, the service was prompt, and our orders arrived in a timely manner. The staff’s positive attitude and genuine hospitality added to the overall enjoyable experience.

Clean and Well-Maintained: The cafe is clean and well-maintained, with a tidy dining area and spotless restrooms. The attention to cleanliness and organization reflects the cafe’s commitment to providing a pleasant dining environment for its patrons.

Great Value for Money: The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. The value for money is excellent, making it a great choice for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

Room for Improvement: While my experience was largely positive, there are a few areas where the Cafe could improve. During peak hours, the cafe can get quite busy, leading to longer wait times for a table. Expanding the seating area or managing reservations more efficiently could enhance the dining experience. Additionally, offering more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu would cater to a broader range of dietary preferences.

In summary, it offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. While there are minor areas for improvement, the overall experience is highly enjoyable, making it a great spot for a hearty breakfast or brunch. I highly recommend Issaquah Cafe for a charming and...

My family and I come here regularly on the to have breakfast together and It's our number one place for when we do so. My girlfriend and her parents have been coming here for years, and I can tell it holds a special place in their heart as they have memories about how it brought them together during some turbulent times. The staff are professional and have warm dispositions, and I appreciate how they are so attentive to the customers, you can tell they want you to have a quality experience. It's more than just a breakfast place however, there's there's quality food for any time A-day, but I'd highly reccomend the eggs benedict (they used to have a salmon eggs benedict that rocked my world... that's something I need back in my life). My 8 year old daughter is an especially picky eater, but when we are there she can order anything off the menu and truly enjoy it, which in my mind is a testament to the food. Just because its not a 3 star Michelin restaurant doesn't mean it isnt amazing, that's not what it's supposed to be, it's the best diner food you can get with an palpably cozy ambiance. If you can't tell I'm a big fan of the Issaquah Cafe, and I'd stake my reputation on the reccomendation of...

Food was great, service was great. Now let's talk about getting a table July 4th, 1pm. Upon arrival there was nobody standing in front of the restaurant and the parking lot was empty. We asked for a table for two and was told it was going to be a 90-minute wait. What? They had a counter that seated 15 and suggested we could sit there. Let me tell you more than half the tables at the restaurant were empty, at least 10 or 12 tables. People were complaining to the manager why they just couldn't get a table that was right next to them that was empty and the manager could not logically explain why. Something about people putting their name in and the restaurant holding the table, most of the tables that were empty were still empty when we left. I don't get what they were doing. Nobody holds a table for more than 5 minutes especially at this style of super casual dining. Management/owner get it together. Your food and service is great. Lots of people walking out after being told a 90-minute wait. But wait if you complain to the manager (and I shouldn't have to tell them that I'm disabled and would like a normal table) she'll put you at one of those tables. What? Come on, let's get it...
