Cafe Opla
2200 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Opla is a multilingual breakfast destination where Stumptown coffee meets creative global cuisine—think traditional lattes alongside standout specialty drinks like ube Vietnamese coffee. The shakshuka and meatball-forward breakfast plates draw regular visitors who appreciate both the welcoming space for lingering and the free parking that comes with your meal, though coffee consistency can occasionally waver.”

Stayed next door at the Marriott for a few days and came here every day for my morning latte. They use Stumptown roasters. Love the variety of drinks they have, we also tried the ube vietnamese coffee and the breakfast sandwiches. Breakfast sandwiches come on fresh French baguettes, crispy crust on the outside and soft on the inside. So good. Next time I will try the skillets, they looked really good.
I ordered the shakshuka breakfast from here this morning. It was excellent. My only critique would be that it could use an additional textural element. The meatballs, eggs, and sauce are all texturally the same and the breast crust isn't quite enough to satisfy the need for a crunch. Overall the dish was delicious and I would definitely eat it again.
I have been here a few times, enough to say that the food is great and the drinks are good too. However, I’ve noticed a disparity in the quality and consistency of the drinks prepared. For example, I went here a month ago and got my favorite signature drink of theirs; Banana Milk Macchiato with Black Sesame Cold Foam. I loved it, 10/10. The one I had today had almost no (if any) cold foam, the color of the drink looked off and it tasted bad - no banana flavor at all. It’s possible that the person who took my order made the wrong drink and didn’t realize - but when I asked if they changed the recipe - the server looked confused and said no. So not sure how the two drinks tasted and looked so vastly different, but the customer service also was lacking in this case. Unsure if I’ll be back. Also they say they have parking, but your car can get towed and ticketed by the hotel so just FYI. Kinda tough to get to.
We could not get reservations for breakfast at our hotel so my wife and I did a quick search and we found Café Opla. It was absolutely phenomenal and we got there right before the rush. My wife and I shared the Philippine Opla; the sausages and pickled vegetables went very well with the perfectly cooked eggs. The café is small and next to the Marriott. It is right across from the cruise ship port.
Great location for 5 different countries menus. The parking is free of charge as long as you eat inside the cafe. The best was all the condiments are located on the sides with water if you are in budget. As soon as you get in grab menu, order the they will handed to you the number and deliver the food. Also the number have the code for W and M code for restroom. Once you are at the Seattle city expect the pricey but the parking while you’re eating or meeting up with relatives or friends are even out in your budget. They have 2 sofa to hang out while you’re waiting from the Pier 66
