I love this place more than any other neighborhood in Seattle. Living here has been the best- and I know it's only been a month that I've been here, but it is more awesome on the daily. It's like living in a small town and living in a city at the…More »

PC- what? No need venture into the small-scale specialty grocers anymore. For me, at least. I know that *some* milk and dairy products here can be ultra pasteurized. But, as one yelper says, "Milk was not a good choice". It's all wrong. For me... you…More »

They are so friendly here... The food is made quickly, and the small line moved quickly. I have been ordering the chef salad with chicken. The chicken is awesome- it's marinated and super flavorful. So great! Also good specials and soups. They have…More »

This place uses environmentally sound dry-cleaning practices, but does not charge you extra for this. This is one of the facts that makes them better than the other cleaners directly across the street. They are also cheaper and cooler in general.…More »

Love this place, of course, like all reviewers. It's a haven, an oasis in the middle of the city, a mini vacation. You must hike down to the lighthouse.

One issue: The Daybreak Indian Cultural Center is really run down and strange, eerie. If you are…More »

This place is also right down the street from me. It's good food, nice people, good beer, and a family establishment. Supporting locals is always the best- Romio's is of course, a local chain.

The pizza, pasta, salad and sandwich lists are long. It's…More »

Not a lap pool most of the time, although they have a schedule that slots it in early in the morning and at night. Not early enough for me actually- I'd like to get in there before work, but they don't open until 7 am I think, so it is not possible.…More »

I have mixed feelings about this place. Brunch is good. The food is good, but there is stiff competition for "good" food in the PNW. It is not marvelous, or anything I have ever recommended to anyone.

In fact, last night when my sister dropped her…More »

Was that fresh squeezed OJ? Nice... I had a Monte cristo and he had corned beef hash. We've each had these same menu items in various places across the country, and this place was not disappointing.

The corned beef hash was fresh, i.e., not from a…More »

This place is busy and a little understaffed. They are also randomly closed now and then (once every few months) when it's normal business hours.

Other than that... They are in a house-like building just off the Dravus St. Exit on 15th Ave.

Teas please... (9)

After consuming much more coffee than any sane person would allow themselves, I broke the habit in January 2006 and turned to tea. I'm now an aspiring tea aficionado, and am in search of the best places to enjoy a cup...
