Review of: A Piece of Cake

If you've ever been to a half decent Chinese bakery, this one is really no different. The cakes are okay, but their buns can be a tad dry from time to time. If you're craving asian pastries, then this place isn't bad. I might just be overly picky, but no Chinese bakery deserves more than three stars if they can't even make a proper egg tart. More importantly, half the staff doesn't even know what a proper egg tart is suppose to be like.

Review of: Top Pot Doughnuts

I am going to have to agree with chris!!! The coffee at top pot is some of the best I have had in the city. The Barista's are consistant and espresso is sweet, crisp and round.

Review of: Cafe Campagne

I’d always heard of the Café Campagne brunch, but no where did I ‘hear’ of Café Campagne’s dinner. So with all due enthusiasm, I pay homage here for a long overdue stake in the ground: Café’ Campagne is open for dinner to impress. Wow. Our Tartare, Calamari, Cassoulet, Chevre salad and wine were deceptively simple yet so well done. The spices and touch, the taste, and the overall presentation were amazing for a bistro setting. I got the feeling I was in the most sincere representation of Parisian dining anyone could hope to see state side. I’m sure there are others out there that do this same ‘concept’ well, but this went beyond concept and into the realm of totally authentic, as if it had been torn out of the ground on Renault and Champs Elysees and set right on the ground in Seattle at Pine & Post Alley. What a treat. We’ll be back

Review of: The Other Coast Cafe

The lines are always long so you would assume it's a good place for a sandwich. While I'm sure some will like their style, I am not a fan of the large messy sandwich that falls apart after one bite. Upon opening the wrapper for my Chicken Parmesan, I was faced with what looked like an entire can of tomato sauce poured over the bread, and cheese melting all over the place. The bread was completely soaked and could not hold its ingredients. One positive thing I can say is that they are generous with their sandwich ingredients, unfortunately, the presentation is not one of their strengths. I couldn't bring myself to eat the darn thing.

Review of: Tokyo Garden Teriyaki

I used to frequent this place regularly when I was a student because the prices were cheap and the food was always well made. However, I stopped coming here the day that I saw bugs crawling on the soda machine. I saw a silverfish and a cockroach run laps around the soda labels and vowed never to go back.

Review of: My Coffee House

I've been going to My Coffee House on and off for about a year now. The cafe still has the same great toys it always had, but there have been a few changes. First, the staff was notably more kid-friendly the last time I stopped by. Before, they felt like bored teens in a cafe that just happened to have toys. Now the baristas Second, the cafe was much more crowded - I'm glad this place is thriving and hope copy-cats spring up, but expect things to get a little hectic. It still doesn't match the mall playgrounds in mid-winter, though. The rest is about the same - the food choices are great for kids, the bathrooms need toilets with lids to keep kids from sticking their hands in the toilet water, the toys are great but possibly dangerous for younger kids, the coffee is mediocre and only slightly better than Starbucks, and overall the place has some "rough edges". However, it tops my list for indoor places to hang out and relax while the kids have fun even though it takes an hour to get to for us. On the other hand, I'm expecting more places like this to show up soon - this place is so crowded, there is obviously a market for this special family-friendly type of cafe. There is definitely still room to improve, and I am sure someone will improve.

Review of: Flying Apron Organic Bakery

I ordered their Apricot Bliss Cake (two layers of maple and one layer of chocolate in the middle) for my baby's first bday party. I had no medical - related reason to go for a vegan, wheat free, gluten free cake, but wanted to go with something other than a traditional grocery store cake. I thought the cake was excellent and so did my mom who is a phenomenal baker. The cake got mixed reviews at the party and unfortunately lots of it got thrown away. My goal was to introduce a cake, with healthier ingredients as well as open people's horizons a bit. Unfortunately, we are so used to seeing cakes from Costco or QFC during birthday parties that it is what people expect to see and taste. I will however keep raving about this bakery and will keep ordering their baked goods.

Review of: Top Pot Doughnuts

Well, yes clearly the best donuts in Seattle. You don't need _another_ review saying that. They also have the best drip coffee too, it's entirely overshadowed by how good the donuts are, but man, that's some good coffee.

Review of: Cafe Allegro At the College Inn

Watch for this historical café to change for the better. The new owners plan for fresh new menu offerings. Staff changes are being made to improve service. Small touches like fresh flowers daily on each table, outdoor tables when weather permits, new dinner hours and menu, increased bar facilities and an overall new, cozy feeling. Jennifer, the coffee Barista is fantastic. Beautiful, friendly and can she make an awesome coffee drink. I love coming in early morning for a quiet cup and pleasant conversation, read the newspaper and get my thoughts together before heading off to work. After a busy day I sometimes stop by for a nice glass of wine and people watching. Very interesting corner. Keep up the good work new owners. I'm looking forward to watching this wonderful old café morph.

Review of: Portage Bay Cafe

Perhaps she was having a bad day, but our waitress was impatient, unfriendly and inefficient. The food was OK- not as good as I had expected and a bit expensive for breakfast.
