Best breakfast spot on the hill. A new theme every quarter which influences the decor and specials. Very popular, especially on weekends expect to wait for a table. Split the coffee cake for a special treat.

A Seattle institution, one of the best bakeries around. They have a few throughout the city, but this is walking distance. On weekends they have a few added brunch items like french toast and bennedicts - order at the counter and sit down. It can get crowded on the weekends and can sometimes be slow if you order the brunch items. Bakery items are great too - my favorites include the morning glory muffin.

Best iconic view of Seattle - Space needle, the city, and water. I still get breathless everytime I run by. On clear days you can see Mt. Rainier in the distance too.
If you are here during Seafair, a great place to see the fly by of the Blue Angels!
