Service was barely adequate. After several minutes, she came around and offered to take our orders, but we had to ask our waitress for drink instead of her offering... the order of service was messed up.
I'm glad it's on prime card so at least we got a discount.
The coffee is the best I know of around Seattle (sorry Victrola and Stumptown). Phil is fanatical about his beans, his equipment, and his process. I feel like I know a secret that is waiting to get out.
I wish you guys would open a retail shop.

If there were any other independent place with good coffee in Redmond, I'd go there instead.

They serve the best Americano here that I've ever had. Has just the right comfortable feeling when you get insides, plus a nice deck outside when it's sunny. Both customers and staff are friendly and willing to talk. The pastry case is very tasty. The carrot cake is my fave, but they also make these chocolate strawberry waffles on the weekends, there are good. Oh yeah, and Walter makes a pretty mean breakfast sandwich too. I like coming in on late at night when they have music. It's nice to just sit, listen, and sip your latte.
Also, they have homemade chocolate whipped cream, which is yummy on a mocha.
My biggest complaint is the cash-only policy, but there's a WAMU across the street.
But there were tiny details that we realized were a little off after we left. Here they are:
It was FREEZING. They don't have adequate heat. They did move a space heater nearer to us, but it made the lights flicker.
The ran out of Coke
They forgot silverware and napkins
The waitress was friendly, but inattentive.
Inadequate parking
No curtain on the bathroom window
No bread served, even when Jess asked for some
Any of those are easy enough to overlook. If they fixed it we would have given out another star.
I'd rather go to onfe of these fine alternatives: Pomegranate, Sages, or Trellis

My first visit yielded an awesome NY Steak Burrito. Never thought I'd find a burrito better(?!?) than Oobas. I'm excited to go back and try sandwiches.
The place was a little tough to find. It's actually facing 116th even though the address is 124th. Look for the 7-11. It's on the side of that building. Unfortunately, the google streeview doesn't show the right place...

Apple crisp was fabulous, basic, and CHEAP.
Omelets were large and fair-priced. Not amazing, but good.
Service was super friendly.
The truckers and farmers give you a good welcome-to-town stranger stare down when you come in. :)
There have been lots of people there when I've been (twice) at odd hours, so I'm guessing lots of people like it.
One good thing is it's close to the hospital for when you need something else besides cafeteria food.
My son and I liked the mole enchilda. Wife liked the regular.
Good salsa.
Good Fried Ice Cream
Giant portions.

I never like bread, but the complementary bread was sublime. especially the Rosemary baguette. My rabbit was the best I've ever had... somehow they kept it moist. We also enjoyed their Valhrona Chocolate dessert, which was more like 6 desserts in one.
Some things we didn't appreciate:
They charge for the water that the offer you when you sit down (it's sparkling). It would be nice to know that in advance.
Alcohol prices were ridiculous, even for a high-end place. E.g: Lagavulin 16 for $26, Bottled IPA for $9, Cocktails $15
