Description

Although the Elliott Bay Book Store is relocating, the Elliott Bay Cafe will remain in the basement of its beautiful brick Pioneer Square building, where it's carved a brightly lit cave to serve its brilliant food. The Cafe specializes in inventive, organic-based comfort food; try a breakfast risotto with coconut milk, a three-cheese grilled cheese, or the grainiest granola around. There's also a daily offering of fresh pastries. The Cafe just recently became a CSA drop spot, meaning you can subscribe to pick up locally grown, organic produce from the cafe each week as well.

2010 | Best Underground Chocolate-Chip Cookie

This cookie offers the city's best compromise between the dual camps of soft and crunchy, with a no-doubt-about-it buttery richness.

Revisit the old Elliott Bay Book Company location, because Tamara Murphy's basement restaurant, Elliott Bay Cafe, is staying put and serving these tasty treats. --Adriana Grant 103 ... More »
