Reviews for Portage Bay Cafe - South Lake Union in Seattle, WA
The place is huge and offers a fruit bar of sorts in the middle depending on what you order. It has good lighting and a lot of... art to see. Price is okay, pretty standard for Seattle and the serving is great too. Fresh fruits are also available which is agreat plus. I got the bottomless coffee so that was awesome. The place is beside a paid parking space so you can do that butexpect it to be hard to get a free space during lunchtime or the weekend. The choices are limited and doesn't really offer asmuch as any other brunch place on other parts of Washington. There's a lot of seating inside but they offer reservation toguarantee not waiting for a long time if you're going on a busy time or day. Read more
Great place to enjoys sweet and savory brunch favorites. Sure thing for two or a group, but make sure to make reservations,... especially on the weekend because it gets packed. Their South Lake Union location is the biggest of the many locations they havethroughout the city. They use many local ingredients and have staples along with specials to choose from. Their fruit bar isalso very popular and is self serve. Read more
The bananas foster french toast is perfection. This was delicious and sweet. To be honest, I thought I wouldn't eat too much but... I devoured it. The side of fruits that we could grab from the bar was an exquisite touch and helped balance the whole meal. Ialso had potatoes which was good but I took that to go because I had too much food but then. I also had chamomile tea withhoney. The staff and our waitress were great. I recommend you stop by and grab something with friends or family if you're intown. Read more
This place was amazing with quite friendly and personable staff. We got there early and I am soooo glad we did….. by the time... we left there were quite a few persons waiting on tables. I strongly suggest you make reservations, you won’t be disappointed.The French toast was amazingly fluffy and fresh. I had the option of adding the selection of fresh fruits which definitelycomplimented the toast. The spicy eggs and sausage was quite spicy… I was quite impressed they gave you the option of potatoesor salad which we did…. Quite a nice surprise for breakfast….definitely worth every penny. Again, great service… we willdefinitely visit again when we’re in the Seattle area.. Read more
Such a fun brunch! We had an 1130 reservation and got to sit immediately outside. We would have had to wait a bit longer to sit... inside despite making a res. The food didn’t disappoint! I got the eggs Benedict carnitas and everything my friends got lookedamazing. This place has one of those menus where it’s hard to choose! Definitely worth the wait. Read more
Got really lucky this past Saturday. Arrived a few minutes before they open and our party of three got seated right away. The... wait staff was very pleasant and service was quick. Servings were quite large and dishes were tasty. We really liked all thefruits that you can pile on to various pancakes and french toasts they offer. Read more
Really great brunch experience on a Saturday. My friend and I had no issues being sat since we had a reservation. Service was... really great and friendly despite the restaurant being full. The food came fast, our coffee was never more than half empty, andthe mimosas were fresh and equally balanced. I really enjoyed my oatmeal strudel french toast, especially with the additionsfrom the topping bar. It's definitely a great add on for the french toast and pancake orders since you get to customize it. Iabsolutely recommend trying the whip cream, it makes the sweeter dishes much lighter and cuts the sweetness. Parking was easy toget near the restaurant, and it's really easy to make reservations online. Read more
This place was delightful ??. When you ordered the cakes you had access to the berry bar ????????. We loaded up! The cream for... fruit dipping was so good! I loved that they offered portable heaters and blankets for outdoor seating. The banana French toastwas the best! Highly recommend! Read more
