10. Senor Moose - tasty, Mexican influenced breakfast, right across
from our old gym. We went there
when it first opened and was still called Cafe Moose.9. Luna Park - retro decorations (old school lunch boxes, an old Batman ride), tasty diner-y food. It's named after the amusement park that VERY briefly resided in West Seattle. You can also buy growlers of Manny's here for only $7 as reported earlier.
8. Eats Market Cafe - Surrounded by Bed Bath and Beyond and Target, this little cafe is a pleasant surprise. Their take on biscuits and gravy (turkey gravy) turns out to be quite tasty. I liked their sliders - biscuits packed with eggs, cheese, and bacon. Yum!
7. Top Pot - our favorite doughnuts in the city (world???). I am going to miss their pumpkin and cinnamon sugar old fashioned, while Andy generally gets a hankering for one of their raspberry bismarcks.
6. Portage Bay Cafe - located across the street from my old lab, this
tasty cafe has a variety of omelettes as well as a toppings bar
(filled with fruit, whipped cream, syrup) for their sweet offerings. We almost always end up ordering the Ranchers breakfast, which comes with eggs, bacon, potatoes, AND pancakes or french toast (which can be topped with items from their toppings bar).
5. Coastal Kitchen / Endolyne Joes - Chow Foods owns both of these restaurants, one in Capital Hill, one in West Seattle. We definitely frequented Endolyne Joes more, but our favorite menu item from either is the gingerbread waffles from Coastal Kitchen.
4. Easy Street - Finally, a record store with brunch! What more do you need? We highly recommend the Easy Rider (grilled cheese + egg and bacon!).
3. Mae’s Phinney Ridge Cafe - If you want a giant omelette overflowing
with mix-ins, this is your place. They also have cinnamon roll french toast (!)
and good pancakes. You really can't go wrong! Plus, they have a cow themed room with booths representing the mouth and belly of a cow.
2. Circa - This topped the best burger list (which is available at brunch), and it nearly pulls off the best breakfast. We just have nothing bad to say about our favorite all around Seattle eatery. Go, eat!
And our overall favorite is...
1. The Dish - located a mere two blocks from our old apartment, The Dish quickly became our favorite breakfast out. The space is pretty tiny, so expect to wait on the weekends, but once you sit, the service is pretty good, and the food is amazing.
We are sad to leave this city for many reasons, not the least of which are the breakfast options. Luckily, we've already found a yummy place in Indianapolis!
Take part in our breakfast poll!

i had trouble w/your breakfast poll... i like omelettes primarily w/occasionally a couple of pancakes on the side, but never just sweet stuff.
never made it to the dish w/you guys (cause we were always there on weekends, i'm guessing). we'll have to come breakfast w/you in indy...
see you next week.
Again, waaah. These posts are making me sad. I will happily go try some of these places once you two depart, though, so thanks for the tips. ;)
I rank Easy Street as one of my favorite breakfast places because of the food, the price, the waitress who looks like she has lived an interesting life and the fact that it is in a record store. However, I take exception to the fact that you mention good biscuit and gravy in an article on good breakfasts in Seattle. I have never had such a rock hard biscuit in my life as I had in Seattle. For a good biscuit you need to head to the deep south. We may have some issues in Georgia (the list is too long to publish here) but we know how to make a biscuit with gravy to die for.
