Best Brunch Spots in Seattle Guide

Celebrate an occasion, soothe a hangover, or dive into brunch favorites for any reason at these top Seattle brunch spots.

When it comes to tasty cuisine, Seattle seems to do everything well from breakfast to dinner and late-night munchie spots. Brunch is no exception, with the kind of places that are worth trading a day in bed for a round or two of mimosas paired with all sorts of gastronomic delights.

The epic line at Starbucks' faux-original location isn't worth the wait, but the one at South Lake Union's Portage Bay Cafe is. Or, just book a table in advance. Either way, look forward to dishes like the Goat Cheese Scramble or decadent French toast with a wide range of toppings from the breakfast bar like seasonal fruits, nuts, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Plus, all ingredients are organic, sustainable, and come from local farms.

Finch and Pine is the perfect weekend brunch spot for vegans and vegetarians. The Wild Huckleberry Pancakes are a favorite topped with heavenly tart yet sweet huckleberries, plant butter, and coffee maple syrup. It pairs perfectly with Seattle's favorite beverage, or try the Apricot Spritz with cava, soda, and apricot-infused Negroni.

"Hidden gem" may be overused, but Super Six practically defines it. Once an auto body shop, today it's the place to go for Hawaiian brunch. Pretend you're in the tropics, maybe even don a Hawaiian dress or shirt to dig into everything from Loco Moco to Malasada filled with mango or coconut cream. With a Hibiscus Margarita, it's the paradisiacal dream.

While this European-style bistro/cafe is just steps from the Space Needle, it's no tourist trap. Reservations at Tilikum Place Cafe are a must at this locals' favorite but the mimosas and French press are worth it alone. Its famous Dutch babies are the biggest draw, cast iron-baked with sweet and savory options, including the classic with lemon, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.
