Issaquah Cafe

Great classic cafe! There may be a wait time, but very user-friendly! The text message will link you to the waiting list. Worthwhile! Simply plan ahead, allowed 10 minutes to claim your table once alerted. The success of this restaurant should be an indication of how the less popular nearby eateries compare. Tables are tight and close but fit the theme and are needed for accommodation of the line of people. Despite how busy it is, the staff are great and friendly. We enjoyed the eggs Benedict and the chicken fried sandwich. Then, we shared a slice of rhubarb and berry pie. I'm definitely coming back!

This is for the Issaquah location. The restaurant is part of a chain of restaurants in Washington.

The Issaquah Café is the hotspot for breakfast here and in the surrounding areas. Located inside the stripmall of the Issaquah QFC, you can even see this restaurant off of NW Gilman Blvd, the main street. Parking gets filled around 9am, so call in advance and make a reservation so that you are having to wait in the waiting room. Generally, the seats at the bar move quickly, so that's a good option also.

The food and service is made and prepared perfectly every time. We usually get Joni as our waitress. She is really amazing at following up and keeping your cup filled, and your order coming out right. I usually get the chicken fried steak. My only wish is that the bacon was thicker. It's a bit thin. The hashbrowns are a sold choice, so add it to your meal if it doesn't come that way.

Midas 5-stars for the coffee and service.

Went to Issaquah Cafe for the second time. Super super super delicious I have to say! Ordered their Steak & Egg combo with hash browns and toast. Also, ordered a side of Sidewinder fries. The fries was hella bomb 💣!! My hubby ordered their Veggie Benedict and he likes it so much!!! Awesome customer service, great atmosphere, and it’s always busy so always plan ahead :). We were lucky to be sat on the bar area and it was a very nice experience. Highly recommended! Love love love it 😍

Skedaddle from Seattle for a great breakfast at Issaquah Cafe! No special language required to order “coffee.” Received better service from Daniel than anywhere on the Sound in four days of dining!
The punkin pancakes are exceptional, fluffy and spiced just right, and the bacon(4 big slices) tastes like actual seasoned bacon!
Don’t let the strip center location scare you away, this is a cozy hometown hefty breakfast from friendly folks…
Unless you just wanna deal with the Seattle-tude.

Ive eaten at this restaurant a few times and have been very satisfied with the customer service and the flavor of the food. I like that there is outdoor, indoor seating. It has a cozy vibe on the inside, there’s even an area that has the old school diner type of counter seating. If you want a delicious breakfast or lunch I highly recommend stopping by.

I love diners like this and prefer them over chain restaurants. My buddy and I were in town for an event and stopped here for breakfast. At first we were sat at a tiny table which we were ok with. Two 6ft+ 300lb guys at a tiny table was almost comical. Not 5 minutes later, they moved us to a booth. The service was top notch and the food was delicious! There was a little wait to be seated, but it wasn't long by any means.

Wow what a great local find. Small spot located in a strip mall and set up internally like a welcoming old diner with an outdoors theme. We started with the cinnamon rolls and they were phenomenal. I ordered the Hobo scramble and it was very good. Flavoring combo with the potatoes and the onions with sour cream added an nice touch. I would suggest to share some meals as mine came with a full 3 pancakes and my wife and I could have shared mine. Amazing food and Daniel provided top notch service. We will be back.

Great breakfast! Super friendly people. They were very busy, but I was lucky to get the last seat at the bar. The wait staff was attentive and professional! I can't wait to go back.

Yummy!! We had the corned beef hash with a blueberry lemon pancake and the hobo scramble. The hash had chunks of brisket that melted in my mouth. The hobo scramble was full of flavor without being spicy.

I tried the blubbery lemon pancake. It was just the right amount of zest to complement the sweet blueberries. I took a photo of the blueberries going all the way through. Very nice.

I got a hot cocoa. I would highly recommend anyone who loves hot cocoa to get this. It was fantastic! They put baby M&Ms on it. Great for children as well.
Great place!! You should give it a try.

This place is the highest rated breakfast place for a reason. Everything was great! Our server was fast, kind, and added to our breakfast experience. It felt like he truly took care of us and not just delivering our meal. We had the cinnamon rolls to start and they were the best I've eaten in WA. Big, fluffy, perfect amount of cinnamon and icing. Even had leftovers to take home. We had the eggs Benedict which was great and the lemon blueberry pancakes. I was worried they would be too sweet but they were the perfect level. Something small but the jam served here is SO GOOD. It's not smuckers which is just solid jelly. Their jam is smooth, tasty, and comes in individual packets. Our server said the company is located in seattle and that the restaurant tries to keep their food local, which i love. Next time we are in Issaquah, we will be back! Thanks for a wonderful breakfast.

So happy that we got a chance to check this place out! The food was amazing and the portion sizes are HUGE. Everything we ordered tasted great and fresh. The staff was super friendly especially Greta who served us and took very good care of us during our visit. Will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Service was terrific, very accommodating. We had fish and chips and Cubano for lunch. Fish and chips was plentiful, Cubano tasty but could use more filling.

A local favorite for cafe/diner food at reasonable prices and large portions. The menu features a substantial list of breakfast and lunch items and is open from 7am-3pm. The wait on weekends is going to be long so try to visit during less busy times. Staff is friendly and provide good service.

We were here twice in the last week and it was amazing both times. The service is outstanding— friendly and accommodating. The menu has a great variety and classic diner cuisine; delicious and a short wait time. On our most recent visit they accommodated our group of 9. We wish we lived in the area— we would make this our local spot!

Super cute diner vibes and delicious food! Very busy so I’d recommend joining the waitlist or getting there a bit earlier.

Fantastic home-like experience.
The benedict variety is great! My fav is still classic but the Bacon and California Benedicts are also good
🍳 Their omelettes are tasty and a good portion!
The burrito is big enough and very filling, especially if you get hash browns as side!

They have lots of side options which makes it perfect to mix and match.

Great food!
Extremely long wait time ( join wish list ahead )
If you are coming around 8-9am there is no wait time
Recently they have put tables outside as well which is nice! 😎

I’ve been several times for brunch and the food is always good. The gluten free pancakes were great as well.

Amazing people, fast service excellent food and great atmosphere will be back. We had the hobo omelet bacon and chicken fried steak food was hot fresh jam was cold and coffee was perfect!

Very nice brunch location. Ordered an omelette with a side of pancakes but got pancakes with a side of omelette. But both omelette and pancakes were very good. Eggs benedict was pretty tasty too. Staff were friendly and very quick. Went at peak brunch time but our orders were taken in and brought out in a very timely manner.

I'm not a breakfast person by any means but every time I come here, I end up getting their California scramble and it's amazing. It's nice that you can have a half order since I don't typically eat that much in the morning and it's the perfect amount for me. Great service and food. Highly recommend to join the wait-list since it gets long.
