Fable All Day

I came here to plug in for a few hours one Sunday and loved it! They have a very lovable seasonal drink menu and the pastry case looked great. They also have breakfast and lunch bites, with lighter and heavier options that change by season. I had their smoked salmon tartine -- super good flavors (loved the touch of olive oil), fresh salmon, high-quality bread, large portion, and excellent overall. I also had their autumn latte (half sweet with oat milk) -- the espresso was good quality and the spices came through, even though it was half sweet (full sweet probably wouldn't be overwhelming for most people, I'm just not a sweet drink person, so I tend to be cautious when ordering drinks like that). They have WiFi, a couple of outlets, and indoor and outdoor seating. I'd say the vibe is slightly more suitable to socialize or have a quick bite, but people sitting at the bar were plugged in for a while. Oh, and they have plenty of wine bottles on display, so there's lots to explore here! I'm thinking you'll find something to love about this place!

The sandwiches are just okay. We got a chicken sausage sandwich, a pesto sandwich, and a ham sandwich. Definitely not worth the price we paid for. We also didn’t get our water refilled (there was an area that staff sometimes would leave bottles for tables to grab but there wasn’t a bottle there for the 2 hours I was there).

It's always been a high-level experience, great service, very conscientious folks at the counter and in the kitchen. Have come in with kids, with partner, alone. The coffee is phenomenal--particularly the cold brew and the creative espresso drinks. I love being able to get high-quality, healthy food while chatting or getting a chance to work for a bit. And this is the most important thing I want to say: Your chocolate chip cookies are the best in Seattle. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, salty, fabulous chocolate, great salt on top.

I found this elegant coffee shop near where I'm staying on Beacon Hill. The place is laid out in a very comforting and relaxing fashion, serving well prepared coffee drinks and a great selection of pastries. They also have a full wine bar which makes it a great place to come anytime of the day. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. I will definitely be visiting periodically since it's an enjoyable place to hang. It is located within easy walking distance of the beacon Hill links stop. I recommend the place highly.

Wonderful experience with friendly staff, delicious food and great prices. There is also a nice selection of wines to go with very decent price points. The staff know their wine and are ready with recommendations. Highly recommend the tuna and duck. The cheese plate was delicious and had enough bread (I sometimes find restaurants skimp on that). Crème brûlée was divine!

What a perfect addition to the neighborhood! I never made it in during its previous iteration, but so glad I finally visited! Great selection of food ranging from pastries and waffles, to sandwiches and quiche. Very reasonable prices They make all their pastries in house, and source their bread from Sea Wolf! Beautiful atmosphere suitable for grabbing a quick bite, getting some work done, and relaxing. Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and attentive. I especially enjoyed the cookies, breakfast sandwiches, and lavender blossom latte - and I'll definitely be back to try everything else!

Cozy neighborhood spot to meet up with a friend for coffee or a meal. It has lovely decor and nice atmosphere. Outdoor seating in the nice weather. Salad and quiche and a London Fog tea latte is my go-to lunch order. The baked goods are fresh, tasy, and nice selection. I usually end up grabbing a cookie after the meal and then a bottle of wine of craft beer from their excellent selection to bring home.

Well this is the European style wine/coffee/food cafe Seattle has been needing. Fable All Day has all the Seattle feels, but the anything goes, eat and drink what you are in the mood for Cafe informal. We had the beef cheeks and duck confit waffles. Both were amazing. Tender and full of flavor. The beef cheeks had a steel cut oat with the aju, and the duck had a candied orange jam with it that was to die for. Dessert was a gluten and dairy free chocolate brownie that was absolutely perfect. Super comfortable and lovely staff. We will be back!

Okay, I don't live around here and we found this place kind of by accident but this is literally the gold standard for what a cafe should be and would be my go to if I lived closer. To be fair, I don't drink alcohol so can't speak to that side of this place (although it looks like it has a great selection). But here are all the "yes, checks": 1) Great atmosphere. It had gentle, candle lighting throughout so that I actually thought it was closed but the hours were on the door and I saw a few people inside so we went in. My friend immediately started commenting on the window decor which is currently a lovely display of dried flowers in garland, wreath and vase form. (Available to purchase as well, which is an extra bonus). The seating is simple but comfortable and beautiful. 2) Enticing menu. We went in for a cup of coffee but ended up with a latte, soup, cookies, and a sausage dog. All were delicious. I also loved that they had specialty chocolates, coffee and non alcoholic drink mixes available for purchase on the side for gifts or later treats. I didn't peruse all the baked goods in the case but, looking from a distance I saw that they each looked unique and flavorful and I would've liked to try more. I love a place with variety but also not so packed you can't decide. Also they had some vegan and vegetarian options which I loved. 3) Excellent service. I was meeting here with a friend. We live an hour and a half away from each other and don't get to meet up as often as we would like and this ended up being a perfect place to catch up. Everything else seemed to be closing but this place was open till 9 (on a Saturday). We were never made to feel our time was up and the waitresses filled our water and checked with us but also gave us space. I'm sorry I didn't get their names but they were very kind and friendly, smiley and relaxed which added to the ambience. Perfect experience. Thanks so much!!!! P.s. Prices! I forgot to say that the prices were also just right! I was very happy with what I spent and what I got. Again, everything was wonderful!

Good ambiance, friendly service. Everything is pretty expensive. Sandwich and have much in. It had a lot of greens.

What a hidden gem! We've ordered 2 different types of sandwiches and 4 variety of beverages (see photos). Staffs are so friendly explaining all the ingredients and very accommodating to our dietary needs. Upon entering the restaurant, we grab a menu and place order at the counter then grab a table to seat yourself. I for ambience is modern, clean and outdoor seating is also available. Parking is available on the street. I would highly recommend this place for food, coffee and wine - all of their menu selections are impressive. Bon appetite! We've ordered: Muffuletta sandwich, Fable eggplant pastrami sandwich, Rosemary latte, Lavender blossom latte, glass of Pinot Noir & Nitro Cold brew. Delicious!

Met with some friends for brunch, more of a coffee shop than a brunch location. Small portion for price, friendly service, espresso drinks were creative but tasted almost watered down. Speciality wine and beers on purchase. Their waffle is tasty but very small. Ham and Brie sandwich was stale. Overall fairly disappointed and wouldn't make a special trip to come back but would give a second try if we lived closer.

This place is amazing! I love the cookies and the coffee is pretty great too. It was a nice place to go to in the middle of the day for lunch and a caffeine pick-me-up.

Enjoyed the vibes at this cafe and all the different foods that they offer. They were helpful and happy to answer any questions we had when ordering. Lattes: autumn latte and mapleine Mocha are both great options, their drinks aren't too sweet which is lovely with seasonal flavors. Although, the oat milk they use in their lattes seems too watery or not creamy enough? It might be the combo of milk to autumn latter syrup/mix though. Chicken sausage breakfast sandwich: great flavor, solid type of bread for a breakfast sandwich, ask for their hot sauce to eat with this, it was excellent! Seasonal butternut squash soup: this was creamy in texture and the oil on top went well with the soup, but for some reason this soup wasn't my favorite Masa waffle: wow the texture on this waffle is so good!! The smoked paprika butter was an interesting change and the tamarind syrup was pretty strong so a little goes a looooong way with the syrup. Make sure you dip and don't pour the syrup on the waffle. Keyyyyy

I travel for work and visit many coffee shops; What sets one above another is the design, fresh ingredients and the smell you you walk in (could be spices, fresh bread or cleanliness). This place is well designed, modern with a touch of home. A place must make you feel comfortable, have plants and make you feel welcomed. It's been tough for me to find a good coffee shop that has all of the above. I'm not sure if they make their own bread, but you can tell that it's made recently, which I appreciate. Although they may not be perfect, they're trying to check all of the boxes. The only things I don't care for (like), are the temperature and the music.

I tend to support local small businesses within walking distance so since I moved back to the area, I've already made a few trips here. A very pleasant & cozy day cafe in a newer building. The interior design is very well-done, especially with the blacked out utilities hanging from the ceiling (which often times other businesses just don't bother with); this helps create a strong harmony top-down inside. Feels like a subtle classical big city American diner w/ modern flair. Similar menus and format throughout the day; the dinner time is just a bit less casual. Their vegan options are super decent. Not a huge fan of romesco sauce but the eggplant sandwich is nice. My current favorite item is the seasonal squash soup w/ focaccia bread side (plus extra side bread of baguette). Wholesome, healthy and goes down smooth; plus, who doesn't love a good dipper with sides of bread? They also have a small case of treats. Usually, I'd get the chocolate brownie or spiced scone. Every other morning/afternoon, you'll probably find me getting my decaf oat latte fix with one of their neat house flavors or seasonal specials in my personal mug. Don't forget bringing your own bag (totes are my favorite) for take-out can help them save supplies. Minor things (I can notice these small details) for feedback: The bar counter at the far end could've been extended 6-12" longer to more comfortably fit 1 extra bar seat. And the bathroom sink spout is too close to the bowl edge; that too should've been extended a few inches out. Staff is otherwise very friendly and chill. 2 thumbs up, yo!

Great selection of wine, non alcoholic amaros and beautiful ambiance! Staff were very friendly. I ticked off 1 star because i think they can improve on their bean spread & veggie plate. We were given a bed of raw kale and raw carrots hahaha. They had a hint of salt but between the party of three people we were extremely confused how to eat this. The carrots still had their roots & stems intact which felt like something i couldve bought from whole foods without preparing for it. Im not sure if id recommend this specific item off the menu but their orange wine tasted good.

I miss Vif in Fremont, never got to Petite Soif on Beacon Hill, but this afternoon I made it a point to stop by Fable, the current business here along busy Beacon Ave S (8/2/23). This stretch from 15th Ave S to Spokane has a nice collection of cafes, bars, and restaurants to check out. After nearly an hour in I-5S traffic, I had to detour through Capitol Hill & CID just to get to Beacon Hill. Lucked out with nearby street parking, and just an fyi, Fable is located along a Metro route and reasonable walking distance from the light rail station. Fable is a lovely oasis, the interior has natural light along the tree lined street. Lush foliage throughout the space. Overhead music to chill out and relax. There's a few sidewalk tables, six indoor tables, some bar/counter seating too. And yes, there's WiFi. Fable exudes a welcoming, neighborhood vibe. Currently, they offer beverages, baked goods, and some eats. I opted for a 16oz Twin Brook Cold Brew Mocha which was very refreshing. The peanut butter cookie had a crisp sugary exterior with moist, flavorful interior crumb. Definitely a nice spot to grab some beer & wine to go, nosh on something tasty, have a pleasant meetup, or a spontaneous detour to just chill.

TLDR - what you see is what you get here. Living in beacon hill I would say this is the best coffee shop in the area. There's gonna be something here for everyone, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and everything in between. Like I said in the tldr. If you see the photos of the establishment and like the vibe I confident you will like it here.

Cute lil coffee shop/brunch spot! They always have creative lattes. The food portions are small, but everything was delicious. They use SeaWolf bread and anything made with SeaWolf bread is a star in my books! So I love all their breakfast sandwiches. The staff is wonderful and friendly! They have a little wine and beer bottle shop as well, and the staff and knowledgeable about the products they sell. In addition to the food, the ambiance, the easy street parking in the area makes it a win in my books!

Warm welcoming vibes on a rainy afternoon. The staff are super nice and the music complimented the ambience. The masa waffle is crispy and the combo of paprika butter and the tamarind sauce is culinary genius. The sausage sandwich was strictly okay and the coffee as well.

What a perfect addition to the neighborhood! I never made it in during its previous iteration, but so glad I finally visited! Great selection of food ranging from pastries and waffles, to sandwiches and quiche. Very reasonable prices They make all their pastries in house, and source their bread from Sea Wolf!

Good food. I got the muffuletta sandwich and it was delicious. Welcoming staff and chic ambiance.

Service: Staff was friendly :) Food: I got the autumn latte which seemed a bit watery to me. I'll want to try something else next time. I got their overnight oats made with blackberry compote and coconut milk and it was just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess for me. I would order this again! Parking: Street parking only but it was easy to find.

I only came here for wine, so I can't comment on the food, but I loved it here! The cafe/wine bar itself is super cute, and they have an assortment of wine, food, coffee, and dessert. We came here while we were waiting for our table at familyfriend next door, and really enjoyed the wines we tried! I love that they offer half pours on the menu, so you can try more wines instead of getting a full pour of a single wine. Service was super nice, and they were great about getting our check quickly when our table at familyfriend opened up earlier than expected!

Coffee was delicious, vibe was immaculate. Except maybe the brown paper bags of mystery clearance booze. I'm Gluten free, traveling with gluten eaters. I chose the masa waffle but they substituted jam for the tamarind syrup (because they ran out). I feel like for the price, there should have been a few greens on the side instead of just a bare empty plate with one big dry waffle with beautiful (but difficult to spread) discs of butter. I could have used 3-4 more of those discs especially with no tamarind syrup (tangy tamarind sounds yummier than sugary strawberry jam). It's a lovely spot but we won't be returning since the only gluten free menu item turned out such a disappointment . Service was very friendly.

It's not just that they're in my neighborhood, this is a great cafe with good vegan options, great bevs and a fun wine collection. I haven't been there for dinner yet. Basically, everything is easy and perfect.

If i'm being honest i didn't absolutely love fable. I know it is a sweet place to go for a relaxed wine time with some friends or if you need a little snack, but the menu was very limited and not great for people that need many options. there was also a limited drink menu in my opinion. It was cute and the waitstaff were super sweet, but 2/4 people in my group didn't end up ordering any food or drinks when we came. The food the other 2 ordered were very yummy.

Good food, very good service, great vibe. If they start stocking some Darjeeling tea, it's gonna turn into my favourite neighborhood cafe.

We love Fable! We stayed 3 nights at an Airbnb on Beacon Hill and went to Fable every morning. Simple, elegant menu, comfortable, casual, intimate setting. Friendly service. Recommend the Lemon-lavender soda with vanilla oat cream, the chai latte, breakfast sandwiches with ham or chicken, and the queen aman pastry. So good!

Came by on a quiet Fri afternoon and had a nice lunch to catch up with a friend. The space is clean and fairly spacious. Healthy options with a flavorful beverages. I had the lavender lemonade drink. Service was good and so was the food.

Nice cozy adult cafe plus! The space is relaxed. I had the chicken sausage breakfast sandwich. Perfect portion if you're not too hungry. The brioche bun it was served on was fantastic. Interesting specialty drinks and adult beverages if you're so inclined. Very comfortable!

Service was okay and the food/drinks were good. On the other hand though the prices here are kinda high. Would go back here again though and I'd recommend this cafe.

Use to go to Petit Soif but they closed due to Covid. Fable finally opened earlier this year. They are an all-day cafe during the day with some really good options for breakfast and lunch. Beacon finally have more brunch options and brought the kids this past weekend, they really enjoyed the waffles, I had the smoked salmon sandwich, kids took my sandwich too. After 4pm, they start table service. Been back a couple of times for dinner. Portions surprisingly larger than I thought. The beet salad was one of my fav with different types of beets. Second fav was their braised pork cheek. Large variety of wine, mostly on the lighter side. Service is personable. Ambiance is nice and quiet. Very cute place for a date or girls dinner. Will be back tomorrow for a belated birthday celebration with my girlfriends.

Delicious food. The breakfast options are amazing and fairly priced. The staff if kind, patient, and friendly. The indoor space is beautiful, comfortable, and accommodating to a variety of party sizes. The natural wine selection is fantastic. This is one of my favorite spots in south Seattle.

If you're looking for a place to grab a quick glass of wine--this is the place. Friendly staff and a pretty decent beer selection of wine isn't your thing. We'll be back!

An outstanding experience in every possible way. Elegant, inviting & beautifully designed space. Lovely jazz music on soundtrack. On a quiet afternoon, Fable felt good for my soul. My ham breakfast sandwich was so good. High quality, simple ingredients & the brioche bun is from my fav Sea Wolf bakery. But here's where tr customer service elevated my experience to a 10. My drip coffee although excellent was lukewarm. They explained on slow weekdays late afternoon they don't brew fresh pots often so generously offered to brew me an Americano for free! It was piping hot & excellent! Owners & staff: congrats on creating a very special place. Highly recommend. (I love that they are environmentally conscious & have cloth napkins)'

Excellent breakfast and coffee! Definitely will be back in the evening for wine and snacks.

No line with great breakfast sandwiches, adult beverages and coffee! Cute modern spot!

Go...and go soon before word gets out and you have to wait for a table! What a great add to south Seattle. We went for dinner and experienced wonderful natural wines, amazing butternut squash soup made with sage infused oat-milk cream (non dairy) and pepitas, the yummiest seawolf bread, a gooey Brie & ham sandwich...all served with friendly staff, amongst a cool space with a cozy vibe. Go, hurry! Oh and they are open early for breakfast and coffee - planning to experience that soon!
