Yeobo Cafe and Bar — Restaurant in Seattle

The food is soooo delicious, the staff is incredibly warm and friendly, the space is cozy & relaxing, the silverware is rainbow iridescent colors... Yeobo is the perfect cafe!

The fully-gluten-free Korean-American menu is incredibly delicious and creative, with plenty of options for your carnivore buddies and your vegan pals too. The grab-n-go musubi & the Thai tea tapioca are both super fabulous in the morning when I'm in a hurry. And then there's a whole array of different flavors of house-made dairy and vegan (coconut milk) foams to dress up your iced coffee or matcha! At the bar, the cauliflower wings are incredible, and I'm stoked that they've got non-alcoholic teas on tap as well as stuff like local ciders. And oh my god, the sweet creamy little pickled cipollini onions in the cold noodle dish were so dang tasty I wanna buy a jar of them to take home.

Mars & the team have poured their heart and soul into this place, and it shows. Yeobo is a super comfy, super queer, super community-oriented place to be nourished with delicious food and to just vibe, alone or...

The space aims for a cozy, living-room vibe, but the seating is more style than function. Most tables are small—fine for two, but awkward for larger parties. The couch and coffee table setup looks inviting but isn’t practical for eating, and the metal barstools are uncomfortable.

We ordered two breakfast sandwiches to eat in and two to go. The staff offered to stagger the orders, and while they were super friendly, the service felt disorganized. After waiting over 30 minutes (and watching later-arriving tables get served), we discovered our food had just been sitting out. They refunded the two dine-in sandwiches, which was appreciated, but by then the gluten-free bread was cold and dry, and the cheese had become greasy and sweaty.

The coffee was good, but overall, the experience missed the mark. With so much effort clearly put into the space, it’s disappointing the food and service didn’t match. We were hoping for more and...

Lovely, eclectic little spot. Good coffee and interesting beverage options, top notch sandwiches, and the beer selection looks good.

Just a real nice neighborhood spot with a little bit of everything.

I worry slightly that the eclecticism might make it difficult to answer the questions of "what kind of place for food and drink is this?" and "when and for what should I stop by?", which feels like it complicates marketing and logistics.

But if that weakness were to prove fatal, it would be more a reflection of how our economy is stupid and made-up than on the quality of the place as an eatery.

I highly recommend stopping by for whatever reason, at whatever time, and sampling any or all of their diverse offerings.

I'll tell you right now you can get a good shot of espresso open past 5ish, so there's at least one niche...
