This place was packed with a line out the door! Thank goodness we had reservations. I don’t completely agree why this place is super popular though. I get that they use fresh, mostly healthy ingredients but their preparations aren’t anything special. I expected a little bit more considering their shear popularity. The food was good, but I thought it was overpriced for what it was. And the service was random and slow at times.
Coffee.

Tall Grass Bakery, Seattle WA
I was very much disappointed by this! It was too dense and doughy to qualify as a brioche in my book. I also thought it would pack more flavor, but it was surprisingly bland and the strongest flavor was of the undercooked doughy center. Boo!

I went across the street and grabbed this at Java Bean.
