Saturday Seattle mystery

October 14th, 2007 at 05:52 am

The Denny's that we ate at for the last year or so for a late Saturday breakfast is no more. That leaves us again with a quandary - where to go for a Saturday breakfast?

You see, on Saturday Seattle has far fewer breakfast spots than breakfast lovers - everywhere there is a line, places are packed. Its an annoying mystery - come on, we all can afford breakfasts - that flares up as a crisis. When the big windstorm hit on December and many folks living in hotels or in cold houses, one could literally drive all around Seattle to look for a place to eat that wasn't going to be an hour wait.

My thought is that most Seattle-ites grab a coffee and danish somewhere during the weekday, which means very few weekday full breakfasts which means that few breakfast spots are profitable during the week. Apparently we have the amount of breakfast sites that we deserve.

We went to the Library Cafe this morning. Nice enough and we got right in.

    I went to the Library Cafe two weeks ago. I've found, with group breakfasts, the key is to get in before 9 am. That said, I am tired of the Crave-Pete's Eggnest-Costa's-Chanterelle Fine Foods-Minnie's-Salmon Bay Cafe-Varsity Inn routine. Mae's in Phinney Ridge has let me down, gastronomically: I don't know why it is popular. It does bother me when good family breakfast restaurants go away (Jack's Farm Fresh, the Berkshire Grill, Pancake Haus).

    Text is Diners in Seattle and Link is seattle.citysearch.com/roundup/42428
    Diners in Seattle that offer breakfast. Some of these are new to me.

    Drat - well, that's the reason. 11am.
    Mae's let me down too. And trust me, even Wisconsin has backed off on those portion sizes. We do use tractors nowadays, no need for a 3000 calorie breakfast. eesh!
    I've been to Cyndy's once. Didn't all the waitresses come from the old Dog House on 6th? Big Grin FYI - The Library Cafe is going through new management and will be closed next week. They've been having their "yard sale" - usually a bad sign - to get space to redecorate a bit.

    My husband and I hit The Library usually every weekend! We found out last weekend that they're changing owners--we were a little apprehensive but are told that there will only be small, gradual changes. (They're keeping the books but getting rid of other retail, for example.)
