Blackbird Cafe & Bar

I went here on a Sunday, a minute or so after opening (though there were already a handful of people inside.) Take a menu, and you can sit down or order right away if you know what you want. After ordering you take a number back to your table, and they'll bring out what you ordered. There's a self service table with the standard utensils-in-napkin setup, along with glasses and pitchers of water which you can bring back to your table. It was good! I sat inside, but there is covered patio seating outside that has patio lights. Very cute! Parking is limited to about a dozen spots, and by the time I left there weren't many open, so try to plan around that. (Side note on food: the potatoes come with diced red + yellow bell peppers. I love bell peppers, but if you don't, keep that in mind. 👍 I got the classic benedict. It was good, but the I'm pretty sure the eggs are boiled? It's possible I got silly eggs, but it was interesting.)

A popular local neighborhood cafe & bar with a casual bistro feel in Shoreline, Washington; about 30 minutes from downtown Seattle. No wait for a table. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. Full bar and cute decor. Friendly staff. You order at the counter. You’ll definitely get tempted with the pastries there. I got a banana bread slice to bring on the airplane, which was We ordered a Mexican coffee and Hazelnut latte. Both coffees could have had more flavor. For breakfast, we ordered the Chorizo Scramble and French Toast. The French Toast was topped with spiced peaches and a side of whipped cream. It also came with crispy bacon. Visually pleasing and I couldn’t wait to dig in. Very delicious with the maple syrup. It wasn’t overly sweet which is a plus for me. The Chorizo Scramble has roasted Poblano, Jack Cheese, Chorizo, scrambled eggs, side of potatoes & flour tortillas. Very tasty. The potatoes were so good!

Excellent experience and food!! Love the local neighborhood vibe and ease; food came out super fast too - great fish and chips, chowder, and lemon sorbet. Didn’t get to try the outdoor space or cocktails. Will def be back!

It was easy to get a table even on the weekend. We were seated right away, placed our order quickly, and received our food without delay. The food was delicious.

Great food and service. I had the fish tacos and my partner had the Turkey, Bacon, Swiss sandwich. Both were fantastic and arrived at the table no more than 15 minutes after ordering. They also had a heated patio which was awesome.
