Wait to get seated...
Wait to get water...
Wait to place order...
Wait, wait, wait, wait for food...
It took close to 45min from the time we sat down at our table to even get our food (2 people and a small child). When the food did arrive, while it was plentiful, it was also cold and left much to be desired. The service was poor; when I asked to send my wife's meal back there was no apology just an attitude.
Overall, crowded, un-inspiring, and typical. Could have been a Denny's or IHOP. Lacked character and warmth. Will not be returning. |

Thus reads a sign prominently posted outside the Brown Bag Cafe in Kirkland. Patrons should consider themselves warned. The family-style fare is not only tasty, but huge.
I recently had breakfast here with friends. I ordered a full stack of blueberry pancakes, planning on something light (indeed, the blueberry pancakes are listed under ''Lighter fare'' on the menu). They were huge, just small enough to fit on a 10-inch plate and not let maple syrup run over the edge of it. When a friend's cinnamon-roll French toast arrived, I thought they had given her two cinnamon rolls, when in fact they'd cut one laterally in half to French-toast it.
The decor is homier than your typical Denny's/Shari's/Coco's family diner. Walls are decorated with utensils, shelves holding jars of dried beans, that sort of thing. Wooden chairs look like they came straight from Grandma's house. But the overall effect is nicely balanced and doesn't overwhelm with preciousness.
Service was prompt and friendly--a bit slow, but hey, it was a holiday, after all. The waitress left us take-out boxes without our asking (surely these are a common request!). Much as I enjoyed my blueberry pancakes, I decided not to take them home, even though I left about four-fifths of a cake on my plate.
I will definitely return for dinner someday! |
