The Cottage

I ordered the Turkish eggs and iced hazelnut oatmilk latte. The dish was tasty (the chili butter was a nice touch!), but I would have liked the bread toasted and warm instead of being slightly stale. The latte was a little sour for my taste, but still drinkable.

The best part of my visit was the service. I didn't catch my server's name, but she was the one working the outdoor tables this Saturday. She was so friendly and genuine. I also overheard her being very kind to the couple who sat behind me. The wife's English wasn't very good, but the server understood that she didn't like the dish they ordered and so brought out another dish for the wife that was more suited to her palate. I did hear the wife say, as she tasted the new dish, "Is good!" The couple wasn't charged for the replacement dish, which is appropriate. I left a 65% tip for the server, which I hope she gets to keep because she deserves all the things.

I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. The venue also looks lovely, even the outdoor patio where they have cute lights and a centerpiece displayed. I hope the service is just as good next time!

This place is always a hit! Whether it's a girls brunch on the patio with mimosas or a casual coffee with a friend, I always look forward to spending a morning at the Cottage.

The service here is wonderful. They are really friendly and always greet customers with a smile. I will say, I usually do double check with them that they got down my order as gluten free/dairy free/whatever substitution because I've had them forget a few times. But otherwise lovely!

My friends rave about the quiche! I am gluten free so I love getting the gluten free bagel with lox with eggs on the side. The shrimp and grits is another fave.

They have lovely breakfast cocktails alone with a non alcoholic hibiscus tea that I order frequently.

Great vibes and a lovely atmosphere!

This restaurant is a jewel. We tried it on the recommendation of a friend and it was amazing! Our waitress Maddie was fabulous and catered to us like a pro!
Get the croissant French toast! Share it because the portion is big! It was outstanding!
I paired it with a side salad.

The avocado toast was well seasoned and good!!!

The atmosphere is quaint and upscale farmhouse!! It was so cozy especially with the fireplace! Outdoor seating was just as pretty!

First outing here at The Cottage. Came here for Brunch with the Family today. Nice, cozy spot for a Sunday Afternoon Brunch. The Ambiance was a little loud, but it was expected since it was relatively packed and it is a Sunday. Service was wonderful and relatively swift for a busy day. Coffee was fast and meals quickly followed up.

Pacific Lox & Bagel were delicious and very filling. And the Pacific Smoked Salmon Dip was a delicious follow-up after the main course. And the Mocha was solid.

Can't wait to come back for future outings, but may want to do so on a day that is less busy.

Your experience at The Cottage will highly depend on the time you visit. I went for weekend brunch with my boyfriend and thought it was great! The food was good, the coffee was good, and the service was excellent.

However, dinner was a different story. I came here on a Friday night to catch up with some girlfriends, and the restaurant was LOUD. We could not hear each other at all, even though we were in a relatively "quiet" corner. There was a live artist playing music and talking ACROSS the restaurant to other diners, which I found odd. Personally, I would not want to be disturbed by someone with a mic while trying to enjoy a meal with friends.

A cute place for brunch and they have pretty much a full bar here with tons of different alcohol selections. But I ordered an Americano since it was just something I needed at that moment.

This place was so busy for lunch but that does tell you one thing, this place is going to be good! Ordered a Caesar salad, short rib hash, and a bowl of soup.

Not one item was not delicious and the service here was great! I got asked many times if I needed anything else and they filled my water cup often.

The soup I don't know what the ingredients were inside but I seriously thought about the taste and how great it was with the side of bread.

Short rib hash was tasty and I love how the hasbrown was crispy and just so good! Yum!

Tip : Make reservations (Note: there is $15 no show fee while reserving)
If not, you may have to wait.

Ambience 2/5 - A laid-back brunch spot. We had our table by the front door. The floor was strangely vibrating or trembling every thirty minutes.

Food (4/5)
Coffee (3/5) - Latte was okay. Probably ought to have requested extra hot.

Turkish Eggs (4/5) - Flavorful and fresh.
Simple savory breakfast with perfectly poached eggs, served over a delicious garlicky yogurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil sauce with red pepper flakes.
Lemon cheesecake (2/5) - There was very little lemon flavor and an overwhelming amount of cheery syrup. What a paradox

Service (3/4) - Our waiter was incredibly friendly. also made frequent check-ins. However, when we asked for salt and pepper, one of the servers acted very rudely and with attitude.

Such a cute spot for brunch!

Came here with a group of friends after a hike and since we had 2 pups with us, we needed to find a spot that was dog friendly with an outdoor patio. Love the Cottage outdoor patio area! It's covered, heated, and doggo friendly! They event brought over a water bowl which was so nice!

Service was friendly and we were seated promptly. Although food did take awhile, because I think our order was lost but they were really nice and so it wasn't too big of a deal.

+ Chai tea - tasty and comforting in the cold weather
+ house sausage is soo yummy! Ordered a side with my entree and it was so worth!
+ croissant french toast with berries - my husband loved this so much!
+ eggs in yogurt sauce with bread - nicely flavored and is pretty good!

Overall, we had a great time here and would come back again for their brunch! Food was solid!

Easy check in for reservation. Our table was inside, but it was fairly noisy inside. We were easily moved outside which was nice. The waitress was attentive and kind. We enjoyed the strawberry flatbread very much. Make sure to say the whole drink name - we ordered the bourbon sour from the menu and it wasn't the "bougie Bothell" one we thought it would be. The GSM is a nice glass of wine. Our entrees were tasty - short rib and masala pasta pillows. It was my birthday dinner, so we got free glasses of bubbly's. The strawberry crisp had a nice flavor but was more of a soup with some sticky clumps at the bottom; I wouldn't recommend it. Everything else was stellar! The dessert was comped for the bday, so that was a lovely surprise.

Summary: a cute local spot for brunch with kind wait staff. We were seated outside as we came on a weekend morning and didn't have reservations, but the indoor ambiance from what we saw was quite pleasant!

Pros:
* they serve classic brunch options
* the eggs Benedict was decent
* average priced food and drinks for the area
* service was very kind


Cons:
* parking can be limited and street parking is sometimes hard to find
* long wait times sometimes if you don't make reservations in advance, but they do have outdoor seating that usually has a table open
* egg cheese croissant was dry and bland
