Third Ave Cafe
1908 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Third Ave Cafe is a quietly exceptional neighborhood spot run by a warm couple who've perfected an unexpectedly stellar spicy chicken teriyaki that keeps locals coming back—charred, saucy, and deceptively simple in the best way. The spacious, spotless dining room invites you to slow down with light food and traditional drinks, making it an ideal refuge for families or anyone seeking genuine hospitality over hype. Despite their early closing hours, those who discover this unassuming gem consistently rave about the care both in the kitchen and at the counter.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.
