Hi-Spot Cafe

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Portion sizes were very generous. Customer service was okay. The restaurant has a very cozy vibe with a coffee shop downstairs

Hi-Spot Cafe is an absolute gem. The breakfast is excellent—hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The whole place has a cozy, charming vibe that makes you feel like you’re enjoying breakfast at your grandparents’ house out in the countryside. There’s a genuine charisma to the space that’s hard to find these days. A little cleanup and some light maintenance would really make it shine and push it to a 5-star experience. Still, it’s a spot I’d happily return to.

Interesting as when you walk in it doesnt look like a big restaurant. It's just a cafe at the entrance. Turns out there's an entire labyrinth of tables in the back. Food is good, fresh ingredients. I ordered the French toast which had real fruit and maple syrup. Americano was awesome! Service was great! I'd go back or if you're in the area make the trip!

This is my favorite place in the whole world. I've been going here since I was little and I come back every time I'm home from school. The inside is beyond adorable and the service is lovely! Occasionally a drink doesn't come from the cafe part but it's no issue to me! The food is great and comes pretty speedy! I'd say they have something for anyone.

I've been here several times over the years, so I figured it's a good time for a review. The food is really good (we've only had breakfast items)--shout out to their delicious pico--but a couple things keep it from being worth 5 stars for me: 1. The place is *really* dirty. While I acknowledge that they have an "Excellent" food safety rating, I find that I enjoy my food a bit more if I don't stare too much at any particular spot inside. The ceiling fans and light fixtures are caked in years of thick dust and grease, and the walls and trim are generously caked with brown splatter. Cobwebs adorn the walls near the ceiling. Today, the baked goods display case had a good amount of fruit flies all over the bread. This morning I was sitting at the small table near the window waiting to be seated, and I accidentally got a good look under the espresso machine, which wasn't very appetizing. And speaking of of the espresso machine... 2. Their coffee service is incredibly inefficient. If you go on a busy day and order a coffee drink after being seated, do not expect to get your drink before getting your food. This was the second time we got our coffee at the same time as the check (30 min after ordering coffee and food), and we had to take it to go. I also witnessed a larger family with a young boy that had ordered a hot chocolate with his breakfast. The drink never came during the breakfast service, and when he went to ask the barista for his hot chocolate, she asked him to wait in the 7+ person line. He finally got it as his family was leaving the restaurant.

The staff here were all very kind and the interior is really charming. It has a cozy feeling. The food was good!! The French toast could've been a bit sweeter and my friend said the avocado toast was missing an ingredient that they couldn't put their finger on. Our hot drinks of a hot chai and London fog took 30 minutes to come out. Other than that, the food was delicious!!

Kind of disappointed with the service: after walking in, the server didn't bother to ask us if we would like to sit outdoors or indoors. It's a sunny day in Seattle (which is rare), so we had to request and insist to ask for a table at their patio. The tofu scramble wasn't what I expected, I make tofu scramble every morning so expected it to be more like a scramble similar to Cafe Flora with nutritional yeast and tumeric to make it more eggy/egg-like. Honestly, I would have preferred the midday menu and coming for a 2 pm late lunch, I'm kind of surprised that only the breakfast menu was offered so despite that the eggs and salad was okay, it wasn't amazing. And I would have chosen a better meal off their midday menu. They also forgot my Bloody Maria and seems like they expect us to order right away once we were seated? After asking whether we can have a few more minutes to take a look at the menu, they took probably 15 minutes to come back to take our order (longer than we expected since we were hungry). I'm not sure if we'll be back. Staff seemed overworked and perhaps we'll have a better experience if they're not understaffed?

What a cute little brunch spot this is! The service was fantastic, really nice, attentive and speedy. The food was good. I'd definitely come back.

Simple, not bad not great. Stopped in here with family for a quick bite. The bathroom situation isn't the best but I understand the layout of the house.

Came here on a saturday around 11:30 and waited only 10 min for a seat for 3. Got seated outside and it's nice and covered with heaters (which weren't needed). The food was super yummy with good size portions. It is cool that the downstairs cafe is open to the public, however that seemed to slow down drinks to the customers dining. Also, someone in my party asked for a side and it never came. But other than that the food is great and the vibes are nice! Would definitely come back.

We were looking for a brunch spot to take friends and stumbled upon Hi Spot. We put our name in and waited about 20min but it was prime brunch time on a weekend so it was expected. The food was delicious with tons of great options. Everyone had a hard time selecting because they wanted to try so many things. I had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious and huge. The coffee was great and they kept refilling which I love. There is indoor seating and a patio but the patio has a roof and heaters so it's really an all season space. The staff were phenomenal. They were friendly and accommodating and their service stood out. Lots of people are nice and friendly, but the person who helped us just left me with a good feeling and like she was glad we were there.

Came here on a Sunday at 11:30 to brunch with four people. It was lightly raining, so we opted to wait for an inside table (despite the nice covered porch with heaters, the light rain coming in sideways meant apparently the food still got wet). It did take a while to seat us, but it was pretty busy. The main dining area is on the "second" (kind of a half) floor so if you're not great with (a small number of) stairs, I wouldn't recommend this one. The time between ordering and getting the food felt a little long. Not sure if it was actually, or just because we were hungry? But the service was definitely a little slow. And someone at our table drained his water glass and didn't get a refill until the staff with the water pitcher passed us several times. We shared The Round-Up and Sammy Sue. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed the creaminess of the scrambled eggs + goat cheese; the fruit cups were great. The Sammy Sue had such a great soft sourdough, although a little messy because the fried egg was already cut. Potatoes were good too. They forgot my bread as part of the The Round-Up, and were quick to pop in new ones when I asked... and the new ones never showed up either. I noticed a pile of untaken bread in their oven, cooling and sitting there, for the entirety of our meal. No one really checked up on us until we were done with our food, so I didn't ask a third time, and by the time we were checked in on, I no longer wanted the bread (just the check and to pay). So... the service was a little scattered for sure. But the food I did get was great! I don't think this would be my first choice based on the experience, but I'd be happy to go again if someone else chose it!

The inside of this place is definitely an old house. It's a pretty cool vibe and due to the layout each room feels pretty intimate. If you're going on the weekend be ready for a wait. The food is excellent. Tastes extremely fresh and clean. The service was rock solid. I would definitely recommend. Cheers!

The food was great and so was the fresh fruit. It's adorable inside and the staff are really wonderful. Well lit nice space for breakfast.

Super cute and trendy coffee and breakfast spot. We went on a Saturday around 10 and it was packed so be prepared to wait. Food was good, came out fast. I had the best iced blackberry tea I've ever had. Really delicious!! There is only street parking but it's in a very cute area with lots of shops.

We have been going to the Hi Spot Cafe for close to 10 years and have always had a good meal and experience. However this time that changed. We were enjoying breakfast and finishing up when who I assumed was the manager or the owner came up and asked how things were going and then proceeded to tell us to wrap it up and leave so they could free up the table. I have never had any restaurant come up and ask us to leave before so to say we were a little blow away is an understatement. Further more our food came out cold and when we let them know that after being asked to leave the gentleman came back with some smart ass comment. Needless to say that will be our last time there which is very unfortunate. For some reason that day basic customer service was forgotten about.

This was my 2nd time at the Hi Spot Cafe, returning after about 5-7 years in between visits. Breakfast (brunch) menu only on the weekends. Every table was full with about a 10 minute wait to be seated on Sunday 12n - which I took as a good sign. Place was a bit dirty; typical greasy spoon type diner food, served in a multi-story house converted into a restaurant. Food was fairly good with large portions, but nothing stand out. Service was kind of absent. Someone took our order; and dropped off our food but left before I could ask for hot sauce or more coffee. After we finished eating we had to flag someone else down to get the check. Not in a rush to go back anytime soon.

This chorizo scramble really saved me from what could have been a bad hangover. They really don't skimp on the chorizo which I heavily appreciated, and you can use the tortillas to make tacos if you wanted! The green sauce was also the perfect addition. (Also get a biscuit on the side- they're delicious!!) It was PACKED on a Saturday morning (11am) but we honestly didn't wait too long, the wait goes by pretty quick! And you get your food quickly too. Definitely a busy spot inside, a lot of tables and a lot of people so as long as you're not looking for a quiet place to brunch , this was great!

Excellent food and great service. I used to go here all the time but do no live close to it anymore. All food items are fresh.

I think this place was decent but slightly pricy for what it was. There's nothing interesting on the menu, most of it are a variety of a scramble. What we got was good but not great. You wouldn't take visitors here or anything. One cool thing was the interior of the restaurant, I think it's just someone's old house they turned into a restaurant. Also service was pretty quick, table turnaround is decent so you don't have to wait that long to eat. We actually came here after waiting 75 min at Fat's and giving up, so that was much appreciated.

Cozy, homey Sunday brunch spot with outdoor and indoor seating. Came here a couple times on the weekend. Street parking was easy to find. My go-to is the Full House because you get a little bit of everything (savory and sweet, eggs and French toast with either fruit or salad). I ordered the Roundup which is a solid light option if you don't want anything heavy and if you like goat cheese and chicken. Kind of bland. I wish I'd asked for more maple syrup on the French Toast. I liked the orange almond butter - it was original. Vibes are chill and lively.

A sweet little cafe that's right at home in its suburban neighborhood. The size of the place is actually surprising - between an outdoor patio and an upstairs area, it seems like it could hold a larger number of people than were there casually dining alongside us for breakfast. I'd heard this place is well known for their breakfast burrito, so we got it. I'm not going to diss what was a fine burrito, but it definitely lacked the flair of its SoCal counterpart. They just don't make Mexican food elsewhere like they do here. I got the oatmeal and it was fine, with lots of little goodies on the side to add in for a delicious crunch or an added bit of sweetness. Good coffee. Better hot chocolate. Novel outdoor seating and nice servers. It's worth a look.

We went here on a Saturday morning for breakfast, and it was packed . Super cool restaurant set in an old Victorian style home . Food was amazing , and bloody Mary's were phenomenal!!!

Just waited to be seated for an eternity while the girls behind the bar bantered and ignored me. They weren't even working. I eventually walked out and one sarcastically finally acknowledged me- "byyyeeee".

This place is a little cute joint in Madrona. It looks like a little house turned into a little restaurant and cafe. If you don't want to sit down to eat, you can just grab a pastry and coffee. If you do choose to eat, the staff is super friendly. There may be a wait in the mornings, but it's well worth it. They have various menu items, and all of them sound so good. I got the chorizo scramble. The eggs were so flavorful while being mixed with potato, chorizo, and cheese. Every bite was perfect. My friends got some other plates, which they very much enjoyed. Theirs came with a nice big bowl of fruit which looked amaZing. Great spot!

Average diner food. Nothing made us go yummmm (had the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito). Tiny tables and very loud on a Sunday afternoon. Service below average. Lots of water refills but no one to take your order or your money. Probably fine for a neighborhood spot, but not worth traveling for.

Been here a few times. Service was amazing the first time when we sat outside. But since then it's gone down. Second time we visited we only got our coffee just before our meal because I had to walk towards the coffee bar to just see a mgr recognize he placed the order with us and it had been 20min. Somehow it always takes someone 10-15min before they take are drink order , than another 10. Third time I think the girls name was Mattise, No one where's a name tag nor introduces themselves so it's hard to tell. Had to wait 20 min before getting up and looking for our server , who was doing nothing but chatting it up with her coworkers and ask. Gave it a shot for the third time to see if service would be like the first but nope. ‍ best to eat at the little cafe on the corner. Also tried the food and was disappointed too, probably the only think good on the menu is the ruban. Had a breakfast burrito and it's had to tell when I just ate as they're very little eggs.

Charming, quaint, warm and welcoming...Hi Spot Cafe is the perfect spot to grab a coffee and pasty or sit down for an incredible brunch!

Hi Spot Cafe is a lovely little place in the neighborhood of Madrona and it gives the vibe that it's been there forever. The house-turned-cafe serves up brunch classics and it's got a huge patio. Despite showing up an hour after they open on a weekend, we didn't have to wait long -- they seem like they run a pretty tight ship. I got the huevos mexicanos with home fries, and both were solid. Their yogurt parfait looks delicious as well. Coffee was solid, service was great. Made for a great Sunday morning :)

Unimpressed. It's hard to mess up breakfast food but this place gets awfully close. Service was fine but the food was incredibly lack luster. Barely warm. Bacon was over cooked and greasy and avocado toast was the worst I've ever had. Not fresh at all. Poorly prepared. Not worth the money or time.

What a perfect spot for breakfast! The place has a front coffee counter area as well as a sit-down back area. We easily got a table for two around 11AM on a Monday. Because I absolutely love hash browns, I ordered the hash it out. It was an order of hash browns with two eggs. I also ordered a biscuit to substitute with the side of toast. It was such a delicious order! The hash browns were fresh with peppers, onions, and some meat, maybe sausage. And the eggs were cooked perfectly, mixing well with the hash browns. The biscuit was probably my favorite though. It was so fresh and warm, and the texture was super soft and not crumbly. The service itself was great, not being too slow and not feeling like I was rushed. I'd definitely come back again because there are so many other breakfast options I'd like to try!

Enjoyed breakfast inside and had a more sustainable visit than we did during the pandemic. I had the Zorba with fruit and loved it. He had the El Pacifico with home fries, which he enjoyed yet thought the omelet was too salty from all of the capers... he only ate half (I tried it and agreed - you can actually see all the capers cooked into the egg in the photo. There were more inside). The home fries were delicious. We shared a pastry, which was delicious, with a poor of tea. I also had a Chai Latte, which was good yet not that hot. All in, a great experience for our weekend!

I've been coming to the hi-spot for over 20 years. It used to be my favorite cafe for food, quality of service and homey atmosphere (I love that it's in a charming old house). My last few times there I felt the overall vibe was different, the service lackluster, and the food had dropped a few notches. I found out that it was under new ownership as of a couple of years ago and it shows. The previous owner was always on site-friendly, circulating, and making sure everything was running well. The service is now slow and often bordering on unfriendly, but the worst thing is that the food quality has declined substantially. A server told me that the same cooks are still working there as before, so I don't know if the current management has slacked on oversight or if it's just not true. It's no longer that go-to place, in my opinion. The coffee is still good, so that is one plus.

I love this place but I was disappointed by my Zorba Greek omelette. I wish it had more feta and olives. Oh well.

Great food and service. Wonderful old converted home. Terrific ambiance. Shared green eggs and ham..,,delicious

Soooooo good. This food was scrum-diddly-umptious. The food tasted fresh and the servers are genuine and super friendly. The food was great! Never did I have a curry eggs Benedict. It was SO GOOD. The flavors were balanced and the drinks had a nice kick to them. There was a wait when we got there but it was absolutely worth it. The owner, Mike, kept walk coming out and checking on us. He was extremely kind and hospitable. It always impresses me when the owner is so active at their restaurant. Would absolutely go back here.

Nice place for brunch. It has a little cafe downstairs which is convenient as a waiting area and the dining area is upstairs and looks like someone's grandma's house. I got the huevos rancheros and it was pretty good. Large portion

Favorite spot for a breakfast date. The French toast is to die for. Servers are on it like blue bonnet. Absolutely love it

Small, cute cafe in Madrona next to a Molly Moon's! I went at 9am on a Saturday and found plenty of free parking in the neighborhood street behind it on 35th Ave. We were seated outside on the patio and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the green eggs n'ham with a side of fruit. My friend got the French toast and an order of home fries. Everything was delicious! The portion sizes were pretty big and I'd want to come back to try more things on the menu! By time we left around 10:15am, there was a line outside.

Quaint and friendly environment, it was buzzing on Mother's Day. Food options were all delicious. I had the French toast and my kids had the smoked salmon omelette and we all enjoyed our meals.

Lovely spot for a good brunch! Went there for the second time and while they don't take reservations, it wasn't too difficult for a big group of us (7) to find a table without waiting for hours. I got their chai latte and custom omelet and my goodness, i inhaled everything because it was so good! Such a cozy spot for any occasions located in the heart of madrona.

Hi spot is a lovely neighborhood spot. I got breakfast there with a friend recently and had a great meal. It basically looks like a house inside, which makes it feel really homey, obviously, and we got a kick out of the fact that there's a bathtub in the bathroom. The folks who work there are really pleasant. The menu has a lot of great standard breakfast items plus some interesting ones like "green eggs and ham" and some tofu scrambles. I was feeling more of the tofu scramble kind of thing that morning so I went for that and despite it being a "healthy" meal was also very substantial and satisfying. Can't complain, would happily come back.

Used to love coming here and ordering takeout until I was given this moldy piece of bread and never received the refund the owner offered me. I do not recommend eating here. I ordered takeout on Sunday 2/11 and my order was a little off, which was fine, but then I noticed I was eating MOLDY bread. I called Hi Spot right away to let them know to check their bread and was promised a refund. The owner himself apologized over the phone and kindly promised a refund for this health hazard. It's been weeks and nothing. Eat here at your own risk. And to the male owner I spoke with over the phone: don't make things worse by not keeping your word when you make a mistake in your established business.

Love this spot for breakfast! Cute atmosphere to have breakfast in an old home and always good food guaranteed

The best location and setting ever for a cozy breakfast brunch place! I am a Seattle native, I've been coming to Hi Spot since 1992. My beautiful daughter who's 14 wanted to take me for my belated bday and so we did! when we walked in not a single staff said hello, they weren't too busy either. I began to sign in and a dude that appeared to be couch surfing style comes galloping down stairs and actually says, "HEY" as if were old buddies (so causal to be addressed as, "hey" ) He seats us Nice lady comes to ask what drinks we wait 10-15 ! minutes before I stand up and get to get a servers attention. Server acts nice yet is condescending, (she's at least 15 years my junior) not fun. We get our food and it's cold and comes in parts not on the plate all at once) as is ready in kitchen..?! I ordered the Bengal Benedict (it was a good choice once!) It was so bad i ate only the eggs on it. Didn't make the slash a Benedict can. My kid ordered the chorizo scramble and like it... I won't be returning after having come here for 31 years. I will choose to keep the previous memories, not this last trip . have fun y'all

Love it! I have been coming here since 1994. The food is fabulous. You can taste the love. The service is topnotch! The place itself is charming. When I want to impress friends who've not been to Seattle before, I bring them here. I rarely give 5 star reviews. I don't believe in grade inflation, and few places are perfect. I am here daily, Monday thru Thursday. Seattle is a breakfast town. You can get a great breakfast in most neighborhoods. The Hi Spot is now and has always been, one of the best. Really!

Loved it! My first time with 4 friends. The Staff is hard working and does their best to make sure your experience is as it should be. I'm gonna hafta visit this place more often!

The wait is a bit long but the service was incredible. Our waitress was super sweet and accommodating and the food was delicious!

Let me preface by saying that Hi Spot's location, atmosphere and overall feel is uniquely pleasant. The cafe's shell is a single-family house transformed into a restaurant, and the unusual utilization of the architecture makes for a very cozy and distinct experience. However, Hi Spot falls short in two key things: quality and service. The waiters, while pretty on the outside, are bland and emotionless. It feels almost as though the human brain has evolved differently for the workers of the Hi Spot Cafe. It has developed into something of a smooth, robotic sphere that can only afford to process food and drink orders. If a Hi Spot waiter's brain tried to process small talk, or- god forbid- a joke, the waiter might simply explode into space dust. Or maybe not. Not one soul in history has ever seen them try it. Somehow, Hi Spot has developed a sophisticated, streamlined hiring process to ensure that they will only hire people with the personalities of fish. Impressive! The food at Hi Spot is OK. The meals are fulfilling with good portion size. The biscuits and gravy are phenomenal. Food is on the better end of mediocre here, if you can dodge the mold or the hairy food, which Hi Spot has served me in the past. For the full experience, I might recommend bringing a hazmat suit. Come to Hi Spot for a physically cozy and emotionally cold dining experience. I have no doubt that some could enjoy the peace here that is consequent of the waiter's supreme idiotism. If that's you, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Personally though, even if my most depraved friend was suffering from fatal levels of caffeine depravation, I would hesitate before taking him to Hi Spot Cafe.

My partner and I really, really want to like this place but it's just not it. The location is amazing, the interior is so sweet, and the food has actually been great the three times I've been (two times for my partner). However, we dined this past Sunday and we will not be returning. We were met with a snooty woman and when she took us back to our table she walked pretty far ahead and we had to catch up with her and then she just dropped the menus on the table and walked straight into the kitchen area without looking back. It's like "Uhhh okay thanks for seating us I guess?" It's also typically a 15 minute wait before your order gets taken and the system seems pretty scattered too. Like it doesn't seem like it flows well. Anyways, we were met with a blonde waitress who we had last time and she is a pretty condescending person. My partner and I were like "Oh great" when we realized it was her. She makes zero eye contact and barely asks simple questions. Also when she served us our food she just served the plates and turned around really fast and left so I didn't even get a chance to ask for the condiments I like to have on my breakfast so that just made me moody. Also we had to make sure to stack our plates and silverware when we're done to make it clear we need the bill because you will also be waiting an eternity for that and we had a huge list of errands to do so it's just sad we have to proactively do things like that to get out in a timely matter. Also nobody ever checks in to see if you're enjoying the meal. I can't imagine what it's like when you actually have a problem with the food. That being said, yes the food is great and we find it to be reasonably priced so definitely check it out just keep in mind service is kind of so so and for that reason we have no desire to return which is sad because we live so close to the area and frequent the other restaurants and bars on the same road! Who knows, we might give it a couple of years and then try again. That should be enough time for half the wait staff to move on lol.

Such a cute little spot...from the front I did not realize how large this place is. It looks like it used to be an old house. There are probably about 3 levels! The first level looks like a very cute coffee shop. My group and I sat on the 2nd level for lunch. I was not the first person in my group to show up, so I don't know what the initial process was, but it appeared that there was not wait and we were able to get seated right away (there was 4 of us). It was rainy this day we went, so we had to sit inside. It is not great for large groups and the 2nd level did seem to have a lot of tables, so just don't turn around too fast. We came for Friday lunch and it was very busy. So many yummy items on the menu. I got the Pacific - a salmon omelet with fresh fruit and toast with jam. The food came out very quick and staff was very friendly. This is a great place whether you just want a quick cup of coffee or a bit to eat. I would definitely come back again. Parking can be a little tough, so I had to park about 2-3 blocks away. Parking in the area I believe is free, but there is a two hour limit. If you go for lunch, you can walk next door and get dessert at Molly Moons :)
