Joanna C.January 31, 2012Order a cup of latte and some chocolate goodness. Any of the desserts are heavenly. . My fav is the tiramisu.This is a classic coffee place in Seattle. So sad it'll close down later this year. *tears*
Yuri KimOctober 26, 2013I really like their bread pudding. But make sure you stir it thoroughly. Their apple crisp is also good.
John ADecember 18, 2013Lots of places with better ambiance. . Note all the good reviews were from the Capital Hill location. May their attitude worked there but there is no place for them in Ballard
Valeriy KDecember 30, 2013Try their Turkish coffee with just a touch of sugar. Or mocha, one of the best all around.
☃☃☃ They are closed since Dec 9 but will be RELOCATING to Ballard in Jan 2013. B&O plans to reopen again at their original place (Capitol Hill) in 2014 upon completion of a new building. ☃☃☃
Kayan HargreavesNovember 8, 2010Spinach and feta quiche was great. So was the salmon lox eggs benedict. Caramello was my drink of choice and saved room for apple crisp! (for Brunch)
Try the sour cream apple pie (it's not on the menu) with a side of ice cream. Also try a cup their Yogi Chai with your dessert(s). The best chai in Seattle IMO.
Jordan BelmonteAugust 1, 2012The carrot cake is a must have. Service can be slow, skip or take it to go if you're meeting a blind date.
Ryan DouglasJuly 24, 2011The Milky Way is delicious. The chicken schwarma is also good. Feel free to just eat dessert, though. Nobody will judge. Read more
merve keciboynuzuSeptember 18, 2011Turkish coffee is not turkish, it has cardamom inside, better if they say it's Arabic coffee on the menu. Red velvet cupcake is moist n tasty.
Rachel POctober 13, 2009Go during happy hour (5-7pm weekdays) and get the Deep Fried Vegetable Fritters with lebneh. They're very light and lebneh = delicious herbed cheese dip. Tasty, filling, and only $3.50!
Lauren BusiereAugust 17, 2010Drinks? You most definitely get your moneys worth. I found a great quiet place to sit & work, not too cold either. Glad I decided to pop in, will definitely return.- Amir BahadoriNovember 28, 2010wow. the oh so coco pancakes with raspberry syrup are bomb. you can taste the chocolate chip insides with every bite. fuckalicious!
One of the best bakeries in town! And, strangely the best bacon I've ever had!
Great coffee and amazing eats! Seriously, buy coffee here!
Francine LaiSeptember 15, 2011Oh man the chocolate pot is ridiculously good. Not too sweet. Not too moist. Just perfect.
Bill ChiOctober 1, 2011I highly recommend the Aztec coffee. Don't let the tequila throw u, delicious drink.
Best German Chocolate cake! Order it to-go for special occasions!- Amir BahadoriMarch 28, 2011i was resisting admitting i like this place because the decor is so shitty but i just had the salmon sandwhich on their delughtful fuck-acia
Get the cornmeal apple pancakes or crunchy french toast for breakfast or the salmon sandwich for lunch/dinner. Fantastic!
The Black Muddy River is the ULTIMATE triple chocolate decadence. Like ganache'd mousse cake.
Damien LeClercSeptember 6, 2010BLT has the most incredible flavor. Great food. Better drinks. And even better staff!!
Get the white chocolate cake with razzberry sauce - its the best!
- Best Shortbread Cookie in town! Buttery crumbly goodness.
Vincent QuahFebruary 19, 2011Have dessert there...it is awesome. BTW, they also just learned how to make a flat white.
Matt DorvilleApril 17, 2010Whoever makes the cakes here might be the best baker in the world. Sooooo delicious!!!
So sad that they moved from Cap Hill over to Ballard. Here's hoping they'll be back ASAP!
