    Order 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*

    I really like their bread pudding. But make sure you stir it thoroughly. Their apple crisp is also good.

    Lots 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

    Try their Turkish coffee with just a touch of sugar. Or mocha, one of the best all around.

    Spinach 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)

    Turkish 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.

    ☃☃☃ 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. ☃☃☃

    The Milky Way is delicious. The chicken schwarma is also good. Feel free to just eat dessert, though. Nobody will judge. Read more

    Go 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!

    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.

    The carrot cake is a must have. Service can be slow, skip or take it to go if you're meeting a blind date.

    Drinks? 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.
