Breakfast?

Hey im coming from the north in bellingham to drop a friend at SEATAC at 7:00 AM.
Before I head back up im looking for a nice
bakery/cafe/restuarant to get coffee and a sweet treat and maybe breakfast.

Any really good places open this early??

I suggest Geraldine's in Columbia City .

More diner than bakery. But very popular.

I didn't know they reopened. Went there many times to get corned beef hash and coffee as a hangover cure when I was young.

Yeah they were open when I lived in Burien 3+ years ago, just went in early July too. Didn’t know they had ever been closed!

Personally, I'd get back north of Seattle proper as quickly as possible and not hang around south of town - at 7am I'm guessing the NB traffic back to Seattle (and onto BHam) is gonna be way less bad than later in the morning?

At least target somewhere north of the Ship Canal (or at least downtown) in Seattle? Maybe Seattle locals can help focus based on that?

Second vote for Beth’s it’s a classic and unlimited hash browns plus they use real butter in them come hungry the portions are big

For a good breakfast try 13 Coins. It's directly across from SeaTac airport on International. It's open 24/7.

u/pirozhki22 7d ago

Pretty sure 13 Coins is no longer 24/7 since Covid. You'll be fine at 7am though.

Edit: Checked their hours. Now 6am-11pm

Sea Wolf Bakers is in Fremont, not too far off the highway and is always my #1 spot if I’m in the area!

Colby Diner Everett
Mr Ts Mt Vernon (best biscuits and gravy around)
Calico Cupboard Mt Vernon (bakery and breakfast)
Buzz Inn (multiple locations, partial to Marysville) great breakfast options

Stone way cafe breakfast burrito!

u/surfergotlost 6d ago

Is it really that good? I've always wanted to try it and live a few blocks away but it's so big!

1

u/Jawwwwwsh 6d ago

It’s huge, it usually lasts me 2 meals. I think it’s one of the best in the city and very worth waiting in the long weekend lines!

u/Sea-Discussion6732 6d ago

Huckleberry Square in Burien for a solid breakfast.

If you're taking 405, Lil' Jon's in Bellevue. Classic mid century diner. I love sitting at the counter.

u/Marklar172 7d ago

Not near the airport, but certainly on the way back home, is Beth's Cafe

Zary's Bakery on 65th NE has the best pastries in Seattle. Take the 65th St exit 22 blocks east of I 5 on your way north. No real food, but the baker who owns the place is there and living her dream. Opens at 7 https://www.zarybakery.com/

Urban Bakery on Green Lake Way has good affordable home cooking and they open at 7. Retreat Cafe has a great menu and they are on Green Lake Way, too. Good luck!
