Hi Spot Cafe

Crema's Take
“This Madrona neighborhood gem serves up genuinely good breakfast—think chorizo scrambles and thick-cut bacon that actually lives up to the hype—in a charming old building where the staff treats regulars like family. It's the kind of place that gets busy on weekends because locals actually want to be there, whether they're lingering over coffee with a friend or settling in with their laptop for the morning, and the warmth of the space matches the quality of what's on the plate.”

Just moved to Madrona and had breakfast here first two days. Chorizo scramble recommended the first day and I went for the biscuit and gravy the second. Both were good. This is a classier offering of B&G than I’m used to but I also didn’t feel like crap after eating it. The server I had both days (Izzy on the check) is wonderful and made me feel welcomed to the neighborhood. Only criticism I have is the matcha wasn’t dissolved into my Matcha Latte the first morning. I thought it was odd that it was ready in a matter of seconds, then found huge clumps of matcha at the bottom of my glass. Drip coffee good and plentiful. Will be a regular. 🤙
Food was fine, but service was perfunctory and disappointing. Place was not particularly busy, but I was given what felt like the penalty box table, in spite of other two-person tables appearing to be available. Found myself side by side with swinging door that banged my elbow when staff came out, and made me privy to all the conversation and Top-40 music playing at the dishwasher station. After server brought my food, didn't check back on me until they brought the check, at which point I had to ask for a water refill. I had been planning on finishing the meal with coffee, but decided I wouldn't bother. Ambience elsewhere in the dining room seemed lovely, though.
Great breakfast spot in Madrona. It’s usually busy on the weekends, which says a lot. Family-owned and a true neighborhood favorite. The area is charming, with consignment shops just around the corner, making it a fun place to explore after eating. The coffee is excellent, the food is delicious, and the portions are generous. One of my favorite breakfast spots.
We got the salmon omlette, corned hash beef & bacon. Everything tasted great & good service too. Especially thick cut bacon which is hard to find in many diners! The only thing that sucks a bit is there can be a bit of wait but not way to check your position in the line so you gotta keep coming in and checking.
Fantastic old building. Charming, quaint and chock full of great people that work there. Food was prompt and the service was much more friendly than I am used to in Seattle. Great for coffee dates, breakfast and families.
