Top Seattle Cafes: 4 Best Local Cafes in Seattle

Seattle's food scene has a number of faces, but has a couple common themes you'll notice.

The Sea. Salmon, crab, oysters, geoduck. We've got them, they're tasty, you should eat them. Smoked, steamed, stewed, or put in a benedict, it's all good.

Asia. We're the connection for most flight's from asia, the biggest port to the East, and have a century and a half of history with Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants. And we've got the food to show it. We've got a Vietnamese restaurant for every 8 Vietnamese people living in the city, a former apprentice of Jiro Ono serving up sushi in Bell Town, and a solid claim to the origin of modern teriyaki in the States.

Craft. With a reputation as a station of the hipster cross, you can bet we've got the craft cocktails, local microbrews, and artisanal everything to go with it.

Light and artistic brunch place

Oddfellows Cafe & Bar

There's a nostalgic feel to Oddfellows that keeps locals hooked: the whimsical art and wooden benches give off the vibe of visiting your cool grandpa's farmhouse. Plus they're open until midnight on weekdays, and have delicious fresh dinner options with cozy candlelight and excellent craft cocktails to sip on while people watching.

Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream

There are no 31 flavors to choose from here. There are the standard and seasonal flavors, and they all cater to everyone. When you walk in, the scent of fresh waffle cones will get your mouth watering. Along with general ice cream scoops, they also have a great set of toppings.

Best pastries in town

Crumble & Flake

Amazing traditional French pastries, occasionally with an awesome modern twist. Crispy buttery croissants and tasty classics are here year-round, with seasonal macarons (like Mojito, Thai Iced Tea, and blackberry), danishes (like apricot/goat cheese and fig/black olive) and others (like a rummy eggnong croissang) rotating in.

Delisious dumplings in Seattle

Piroshki on 3rd Ave

Located in Downtown Seattle. It’s a Russian place specializing in sweet and sour pastries called pieroshki. BUT! They also sell PIEROGI and I wouldn’t have mentioned them if they weren’t really good! Their pierogi are spelled PIROGY and PIROGIES on the menu and you can eat them with different fillings.
