Biscuit & Bean

Exceed breakfast sandwich and latte. I was killing time and happened to walk by this shop. It smelled so good! This biscuit is so much better than the traditional baking powder biscuit. It has a thicker, heavier texture to it. It has a wonderful crunch to it. Perfect! Loved the latte and the very friendly service! Thank you. I'll be back!

I needed to get something to eat, but I admit I am super picky about biscuits. When you have eaten the best biscuits made from scratch by hand by an aunt in Mississippi, you have a strong basis for comparison. A good biscuit IS hard to find. These are some of the best biscuits I have had in Seattle in the past 20 years. I opted for the plain buttermilk biscuit and it met all of my expectations and then some. They are moist, light as air and, and I'm not saying this as a bad thing, but they're bland, which made them the perfect foundation for any type of topping, from plait butter, to sweet jams or honey, to the savory gravies that they excel at. They had good crispy outsides and they offered two savory gravies that were both rich and creamy & not overly seasoned. The mushroom was golden brown with mushrooms and the one with leeks, a light, cheesy, super creamy, I think I might have wanted to see the leeks in the gravy for the sake of color, but the spice of the leeks was definitely there. Both of them were perfect for the biscuit, and being able to have a split of each gravy was just awesome. It is enough of a meal in itself, I could not finish the one serving I got. I did have an egg added to it, and it went beautifully. Will definitely stop in again.

Sublimely delicious. So happy they’re back, and this location I think will be better for them in terms of foot traffic and not just as a destination as the previous one along 15th was. The signature is a glorious creation. The Mama Lil’s aioli is literally the best condiment I’ve ever had, no hyperbole. I’d put it on anything and everything. It’s fantastic. Also, never heard of prosciutto in a breakfast sandwich but I have no idea why given how well it worked. Biscuits are perfect. Fresh, fluffy, not too dense. I’m elated these guys decided to grace Ballard with their presence again.

Coziest atmosphere - lovely seating options and very friendly customer service. Food was amazing and they have options for everyone. The tomato paste on the garden was delicious! Coffee was very good and they had an arnold palmer that was perfect sweetness level! Affordable and filling - would come back again and again

Don’t sleep on this place!! Best biscuit in Seattle!! Amazing coffee- amazing staff!! I got a hazelnut latte and the signature breakfast sandwich on cheddar chive biscuit. SO GOOD!!

The biscuit sandwiches are very large and I don’t think they are easy to pick up. However, using a knife and fork to tackle was ok. The signature sandwich with the cheddar biscuit was tasty, especially the prosciutto with the sauce. While the flavor was okay, the biscuit itself was good but could have been more moist.

Cozy quiet, nice seating and music atmosphere, with very warm friendly service! The biscuits are perfectly cooked in texture and taste! Great variety of sandwiches made fresh and even their drip coffee is delicious! Great small business and what a find in DT Ballard, while waiting for my hair appointment! 😻

Southern boy stopping here by the way of Hawaii while on a work trip. Hands-down the best biscuits and gravy today. Biscuits and coffee… what more could you ask for?

When out walking the Ballard area, I ran into this amazing place. There are a few popular biscuit spots locally, but this place stands out. The customer service was great, the biscuits are top notch. The sweet biscuits are a must try, if not... the classic biscuit with the added honey butter won't disappoint. This location will see me again for coffeecanscbreakf

We originally were going to go to Whole Foods for breakfast, but when we arrived there wasn't any hot breakfast. Searching around the Ballard area, we found this biscuit and coffee shop. There was construction out front of the restaurant but we didn't mind having to walk a couple blocks on this fresh cool morning. The restaurant was decorated for Halloween, which was super cute and aesthetic. Nice small little shop, has room for a few tables and window bar seating. The biscuit flavors were displayed so we could be wowed by the size of them. We both ordered the signature, white cheddar, prosciutto, scrambled eggs, mixed greens and mama lill's pepper aioli. I got mine on the Italian herb biscuit and my partner had his on the cheddar and green onion biscuit. We also ordered Two sides of the sausage gravy. Next time, one side of the gravy is enough for both of us. We also ordered a caramel latte and matcha latte with oat milk and honey. We didn't have to wait long for our order. Our drinks were the perfect temperature and sweetness. The barista did a wonderful job. We took our sandwiches to the Ballard Locks to enjoy while we watched the ships . The biscuit sandwiches were amazing. The biscuit it self was flavorful, and soft , but it was hardy enough that it held the sandwich together. The aioli was the star that pulled all of the flavors of the prosciutto, egg, mixed greens and cheddar together with the biscuit. The gravy was thick, luscious, big chunks of sausage throughout. Spooned on top of each bite of the sandwich was perfect. What a great way to start a morning. Will definitely be coming back to try to the rest of the menu.

Loved their multiple and customizable options! You can pick biscuits and toppings in such a great way. The drinks were also really solid too. The bathroom is decorated in cryptid, which is awesome, and there's a little vending machine with dad jokes for a quarter lol. Friendly and helpful staff and absolutely plan to come back!

My favorite foodie news of the summer was definitely the reopening of Biscuit & Bean. Always worth a drive from, gasp "the Eastside", or even better, a side trip while already anywhere in Seattle. And YES!! B &B's biscuits are just as delicious and huge as they used to be. So of course I bought extra to take home. Yep, definitely still Seattle's best biscuit!! Welcome back Biscuit and Bean, so happy you returned

After being a loyal patron of Biscuit and Bean from their time on 15th/59th, I was thrilled to hear of their return. And I was not disappointed. These folks haven't missed a beat. The food here is nothing short of perfect and it was a privilege to eat it again. Plus, their new location is in the walkable heart of Ballard and feels much roomier. While they get up to speed they're only open a few days of the week until 2 pm, but this is well worth planning into your day. The biscuits are light and fluffy with gorgeous layers. The mushroom gravy is rich and savory, and I choose a spoon to get as much as possible into each bite. I opt to top mine with a runny egg and pickled jalapenos to complete this masterpiece. It lit up every taste bud I have.

Got the basic B with a side of pepper aioli (highly recommend). Honestly this was super filling and definitely is good in size. I'd say to add some spice by making the aioli chipotle or something else. The biscuits weren't dry but I usually like them a little more buttery, they were really great and not too crumby either! We thoroughly enjoyed this find

There's a bunch of people really excited about these biscuits, so maybe I just don't like biscuits? Partner liked his fine; I was disappointed. I had the Classic with a sausage patty, teen had biscuit and gravy, partner had the Signature. Pros: - the biscuit was warm and seemed fresh - the tea was loose leaf - the teen enjoyed his biscuit and gravy - Coffee was good (drip with cream) Neutrals: - not a lot of seating, but possible to snag a table - bit of a wait but cashier was also making drinks as part of taking orders, so that slowed things down, we also got there at a busy time - choice of 2 biscuits for most things - the biscuit was huge. For me this made the biscuit-to-toppings ratio unsatisfactory; for you it might be awesome. - very few fresh vegetable/fruit options on the menu; that's probably par for the course here. Cons: - the biscuit was DRY and not buttery or flaky - the sausage patty was dry - the egg was dry (there's a theme here!) - there was not enough cheese - there was no butter on the table to improve matters - the "tomato jam" was on the side in a plastic container, so I had to add it myself - this kindof wound up being a good thing, because it tasted like ketchup gone wrong. This was the only thing I actively disliked. - the presentation overall was pretty beige - partner's sandwich was supposed to come with greens and there were hardly any. - Side order of two bacon strips came in a plastic cup, and looked like it was one strip cut in two. In any case it was a tiny amount. - All components were a little underseasoned. Because my partner loves biscuits, and he thought these were a 4, I may go again. I might try the biscuit and gravy next time, or just get a biscuit and spread (though with the huge size of the biscuit I'm worried about the spread-to-biscuit ratio). I do not recommend getting the Classic. It's not classic. It's dry and boring.

The best biscuit and gravy I have ever had. No exaggerating here. I wish the biscuit I had was freshly baked but the gravy is to die for. So happy I got to try this place. Service was really amazing as well. They were nice and patient with all customers. Can't wait to have breakfast from here again.

So good! The bacon relish is a must. The biscuits were moist inside crisp outside and unbelievably yum with eggs and cheese. Wait time was pretty quick. Lines form all day. Portions are pretty generous, and juice is fresh.

Review from 10yo: Great food the biscuits are amazing I got the classic and it is a 10/10 also got the Arnold Palmer very refreshing but just a little sour still would go 10 times a week. Review from dad: Superb flavor. Perfect size sandwich. Vibes on point. Live, Laugh, Love!!!

Friendly staff and yummy food and tasty coffee! Excited to have them in the neighborhood!

Amazing food, friendly staff, and a fun vibe! I got the biscuit sandwich covered in gravy and it was one of the best biscuits I've had in a while! I love trying different biscuits and gravy so that is high praise. Pro tip: get the jalapeños to go on top for a little spice. I also got a mocha which was delish. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

It doesn't matter why they left because they're back! Ben, the owner, was working in the kitchen, so we told him how we're so excited. I had The Signature on Cheddar Chive biscuit and Thai Tea. My friend had Biscuit and Gravy Split on Cheddar Chive Biscuit and Cardamom Latte. Everything tastes exactly the same....SO GOOD!!!! I'm excited to revisit the rest of the menu. Please don't ever leave again!!!
