The Stonehouse Cafe

Up from Florida prepping for our Alaska cruise, we only have one day in Seattle, and this day must be spent near the airport. We choose The Stonehouse based on proximity, charm, views and food/service. We are not disappointed by any means. The weather here today is perfect for outdoor dining, and the friendly staff makes us feel right at home, giving us a menu, our cold drinks and our choice of patio seating right away. "We'll have the big Farmhouse burger with a salad and the big Veggie Scramble with home fries, please?" YUM! We clean our plates and hang out, watching the locals enjoy their lunches, too. See you on our next cruise, Stonehouse!

Old stone house turned to a restaurant with gorgeous terrace and patio views of Lake Washington. Comfort food fills the menu. Great brunch menu. The biscuits are delicious. Family friendly as well, with a fun garden to let the little ones romp in. Ideal for brunch or a casual bite on a beautiful day.

It has a great vibe and a beautiful location right next to the lake. The food is delicious, especially the gravy, which stands out. Overall, everything was good, with a lot of positives way. However, be prepared for a long wait. It’s a self-serve place, so you’ll need to do everything yourself—from finding your seat to picking up your food. The line can be long, and the food takes time to come out. Still, the atmosphere and quality make it worth the wait.

My family and I had dinner at Stonehouse cafe for the first time and had a great experience. We had 2 orders of chicken and waffles, monte cristo sandwich and burger w/fries. The food was great especially the chicken and waffles! Love being able to order breakfast menu for dinner. We sat at the top balcony and had a great view of the water. The service was excellent. Everyone was nice and accommodating. They are open later during the summer months and plan to go back.

Probably the best breakfast I've had in a while. The hollandaise was on point, not too lemony or anything. The thick cut bacon was perfect. The eggs poached wonderfully. I usually don't like (let alone finish) home fries but these were so well seasoned and crisped up. Everything was amazing. The atmosphere was alone enough for me to want to go back but the food was phenomenal.

Wonderful place to go for breakfast. Partner and I had this on our list and decided to go on a Saturday morning, it was busy but still no wait. We got the biscuit board (must have) and some small side dishes and the food was fantastic. The place is really cute, lots of different places to sit as well as numerous outside places as well. We will be coming back for sure. Only downfall is their parking lot is a little small, but there is plenty of parking on the road.

Hidden gem! Charming historic building on the lake that offers two levels of lakeside views for dining. The menu is robust and offers something for everyone. We came for Easter and the owners had chocolate bunnies for guests and candy for kids. It was really sweet.

We needed a bite to eat right before our flight back home and The Stonehouse Cafe was the best spot for some brunch. Not only were the views great, the food was better! Once you walk in, you can sit wherever you would like and order the food at the counter. Our food was brought out to us and after we finished dining, we discarded our trash. It was a great dining experience.

The chicken and waffles were soo delicious. The chicken was tender and moist and it was really well seasoned

This place is cozy like eating at someone's house very much enjoyed dining in. It took me back to when I visited Scotland. The person at the counter was really kind and let me take my time to order my food because I wasn't quite ready. I will say that the parking is limited so that is something to keep in mind, I went on Friday and there were plenty of places to park at 11 AM. I very much enjoyed the food I ordered the potatoes were amazing. There's multiple seating options in this cabin like restaurant and the view upstairs and at the front area is quite beautiful. To keep in mind that this place is a go up to a counter and order your food and then pick it up kind of place. I will say I would've given it a five star but it's a little high on the price range. The coffee is really good!

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR BRUNCH. You walk in, order at the register, seat yourself and they bring your order to your table. Not only was the food delicious but the cafe is aesthetically pleasing with a view of Lake Washington. We ordered the eggs benedict which came with the best hollandaise sauce we've ever tried. We also ordered the chicken fried steak which came with delicious sausage and bacon gravy. Both dishes came with home fries that were perfectly seasoned and crispy. For drinks, we ordered an iced oatmilk vanilla latte and they had free water at the condiment bar. I highly recommend coming here for brunch!

So we went to this little gem after seeing a little blurb about it on TV and although we couldn't go during the winter season we finally managed to go and yessssss it's absolutely worth it Just a quick FYI it's an order and then sit establishment, and currently no reservations (first come first serve) Let's get to the food! Chicken and waffles: 10/10 finallyyyyyyy the chicken was well seasoned and perfectly cooked which is hard considering it is a chicken breast PERFECT! Now the waffles though are the stars of this show, finally a place which crispy crunchy waffles that are super fluffy in the middle UGH YES! Corned beef hash: 10/10 flavorful and perfectly done the beef itself is cubed and tossed with veggies with a side of toast and 2 eggs. I might recommend that you grab a hot sauce or ask for some hollandaise sauce it just add a little something. Only a few downsides that by no means takes away from this place but would be lovely to see improved. The condiments (syrup, jam etc) are those single serve plastic container ones. The drip coffee is a little weak/could be improved upon so perhaps grab an americano instead of a drip coffee ‍ and they did seem to run out cutlery and hand out plastic utensils which isn't handy when trying to cut into chicken lol. Again love the place just a few things you might want to know GO VISIT THIS PLACE

I went back this weekend. I ordered the eggs Benedict again. The first order the eggs were over cooked almost hard boiled. I took it back and it was replaced with perfectly cooked eggs for this dish. I had a skinny vanilla latte that didn't disappoint. Still worth the drive.

Stepping into Stonehouse Cafe is like stepping into a cozy cabin in the heart of Seattle. The warm lighting, rustic decor, and crackling fireplace instantly create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. I couldn't help but feel transported back in time, and I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed. Upon entering, you'll notice a counter where you place your order. Once you've made your selection, you'll receive a buzzer that will notify you when your food is ready. Take this time to find a cozy booth or table, soaking in the charming ambiance. When your buzzer vibrates, head back to the counter to collect your meal. I opted for the Emerald City Sourdough toast with bacon and eggs, while my companion chose the chicken fried steak.The Emerald City Sourdough toast was undoubtedly the star of the show. The bread was thick, toasted to perfection, and paired perfectly with the savory bacon and eggs. The combination of flavors and textures was delightful. However, the chicken fried steak was a disappointment. It arrived cold and lacked the crispy, golden-fried crust I was expecting. The meat itself was also a bit dry and overcooked. Despite the inconsistent food quality, I still enjoyed the overall experience at Stonehouse Cafe. The charming atmosphere and friendly service made it a pleasant place to spend a morning. However, I would suggest tempering your expectations for the food and focus on savoring the ambiance.

What a cute brunch place in North Renton/Rainer Beach area! My friends and I were in the mood for mimosas. We got two carafes - one with orange juice and another with grapefruit juice. You can order online, but we decided to skip the screens and order along with our food. (You cannot order food online, as least that's we encountered). You order downstairs, get a buzzer, and wait. Wait was quick - not even 10 minutes and our buzzer went off. Drink: We opted for the traditional mimosa with Prosecco but you can also customize and choose rosé. Other juice options included cranberry, pineapple, and apple. The apple cider mimosa also looked amazing, though we decided not to this time. Everyone was happy with the food! I got the chicken and waffles with ube syrup. Bf got the fish sandwich. The chicken was freshly fried, well seasoned, and overall delicious. A little dry in some spots but nothing a little extra dip with syrup didn't cover. The ube syrup had strong ube flavor. Only downside was I wish it had a slightly thicker consistency. Fish sandwich was perfect. No complaints there. It was fresh with a generous piece of fish. My friends also said they we're happy choices. One thing we did notice were the ample (real) spider webs everywhere but it was very apropo for the Halloween decor. We appreciated the chill community vibe. This is a great spot for friends and family when the weather is nice out. FYI - No reservations. Seating is first come, first serve.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11am and it was not as busy as I thought which is nice (especially with a baby and a toddler) The parking lot is small so we were lucky to find a spot when we arrived. I read some other reviews about complaints for their ordering system and unfortunately I will have to agree with that. There is only 1 place to order food and drinks, which is right when you walk in the front door. There is not a lot of room to stand so I can imagine when they are busier the line will be out the door and it might get crowded and hard to maneuver by - truly a bottle neck. The menu is full of your typical brunch affair including egg Benedict, chicken and waffle, biscuit gravy, pancakes, etc. All kinds of coffee drinks as well as alcoholic beverages. You order and pay at the counter and get a buzzer that will alert you when your food is ready. You pick up your food at the pick up counter to the right of the order counter and bus your own tables. I will say their indoor and outdoor decor is very cozy and has an eclectic country chic vibe. The metal barrel seats looked so fun! We sat in the outside patio space on the upper part of the restaurant (not the roof deck) and there were plenty of seating that can accommodate small and big groups. They do have a utensil and condiments station, a water station, and a bussing station up there. Now the food: first of all it came out very quickly (less than 5 mins since ordering) I ordered the Chicken and Waffle with ube syrup, and the rest of group ordered biscuit and gravy, eggs Benedict, and an omelette. The chicken was hot and crispy with a light coating on the outside, the waffle was freshly made and soft and chewy, I love the ube syrup for its vibrancy and the perfect amount of sweetness for me. A great balance of salty and sweet. If you want good brunch with a view I definitely would recommend this place!

WOW. What a beautiful spot to have lunch. The food is equal to the setting, with a pair of sandwiches we enjoyed (chicken & fish) being delicious. Will definitely return. Confusingly, they ask for tips despite no table or bussing service. They take your order and put your food on the counter. I don't mind this model of service, but I'm not sure what I'm tipping at that point (and tip I did; just asking question here I didn't stiff the crew I just don't understand it)? There's no difference in the service model between them and a fast food spot. I'm curious if they tip at Taco Time when they go? And if not, why not? The food more than makes up for this oddity, and the staff were all fantastic and friendly. If you haven't been to this gem, try it soon.

This place is such a cute place to have brunch. The view of Lake Washington was so stunning as we were walking up to the restaurant. There is also a patio on the second floor that gives you an amazing view of the lake while you're eating. Highly recommend sitting there if you can. For food I ordered the Eggs Benedict and for a drink I got the alcoholic lychee strawberry lemonade in a Capri Sun pouch. I was able to grab my food from the pick up counter very quickly after ordering. The eggs were poached perfectly but what I liked the most was how thick the slices of ham on each were. Definitely the thickest slices I've had on an Eggs Benedict out of all the places I've tried. The side potatoes were also delicious. The alcoholic drinks here are very alcoholic so be warned - my friend's mimosa tasted like straight champagne and my drink was pretty strong as well.

This place is lovely for its ambiance. The food was mediocre. I ordered the best biscuit sandwich. I would come here just to be able to sit at the patio and enjoy the view and the sun. This is a self service restaurant where you place your order with the cashier and then give you a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready. The drinks are served upfront that you can grab after you pay. Seat yourself and also bus your own tables. Parking lot is small but was easy to find during a weekday late morning. Otherwise there is street parking.

If you're looking for a nice brunch restaurant to go to, this is the one! The inside of the restaurant is nice and has aspects to it where I consider the place unique. It has a downstairs eating area with outdoor dining, as well as upstairs. The view from upstairs has a great view of the lake. Heads up, the parking lot is limited so there's a good chance you may park in the street, but it's close by The service was good. The server was nice and attentive and was able to answer any questions we had. We were given a buzzer to notify us when to pick up the food. I'm not sure about downstairs, but if you eat upstairs, you will have to put away your own dishes at a section on the same floor. The food was good. I got the fried chicken sando ($15.50) and the chicken was very tender and crispy to eat. The fries were nicely garnished with parsley which I loved. The Eggs Benedict ($15.50) was good as well. I enjoyed the cube potatoes and the eggs. The chicken & waffles ($16) was good as well. Always a good choice to pick! I'd definitely would come back here again. It's a bit on the pricier side, but I believe it is worth it.

Off to a great start with a prime parking spot. I had already eyeballed the menu so sort of knew what I wanted. Errrrtttt. Sign at the door said scan the QR code and order at the counter inside. Haven't been in awhile so this was new. Toss up between the fried chicken sandwich and mushroom burger - the chicken won out. Pleased to see that it's a chicken breast and not a thigh. Pounded a little, hung over the bun some, not dry and held its crunch. Fries were good and hot. I think I was a little bugged about the fact that cashier said you can add the tip here (on the screen) or here (in the jar). Um, yeah, I wasn't raised by wolves.

The food was delicious! The servers are sweet! This place is super cute! We loved sitting on the rooftop! I pass by this place all the time. I cant believe this was my first time here. I cant wait to come back!

We attended a Sunday brunch with DJ event 11-2. Glad we got there early because the line was starting to grow. In fact the wait time consisted of you standing in line to order. They have a QR code to review the menu while you wait. This event brought a crowd and they had plenty of seating. So because there is no real guidance on how the place works I'm help you out. You place your order then seat yourself. We were given a buzzer for when our food was ready for pick up. We ate while enjoying the music and cleared our own table. I so recommend you dine at this place.

Vibe is everything! Decent good, diverse community interactive with DJ, this was a special "Never Too Much Brunch" Celebrating my gurl Regina Birthday!

Cozy brunch spot with great views of Lake Washington. I came here with a group of 6 for a Saturday brunch around 11:30. How it works is that you place your order at the front with the cashier, and wait for your food to be ready (alerted via buzzer). You can then take your food to any table. Everything is self serve, including utensils, water, and bussing your table after you're done eating. I got the meat lover's omelette, and it came with some breakfast potatoes, two half slices of toast, and some jam. The food was pretty tasty, and it was a good portion size to be full but not stuffed. I think it was priced around $16, which I think is fair but starting to get on the higher side for the amount you get. I was also recommended the chicken & waffles as well as fish & chips, so I'll probably try those the next time I come here. They have a small private parking lot, but the spots fill up quick and most likely you'd have to park on the street and walk over. Street parking was pretty plentiful close by when I came, so it wasn't a huge problem.

this place was a really cute cafe for brunch! came here after visiting the kobuta garden and the setting was nice with a beautiful view of the lake and nature. the staff was super friendly we both got freshly, squeezed orange juice and it was refreshing - perfect sweetness and amount of citrus. i got the eggs benedict and it was delicious with the right amount of flavoring and the hollandaise sauce was yummy. my friend got the BLT sandwich and a side of clam chowder. the clam chowder is a must! both meals were very tasty and fulfilling definitely a great first time experience and would come back! ig: @eatswithpristie

This place was good when my lady brought me here the first time. Seems like the food quality control has gone down. Also no reason to tip if you actually have to grab your own food after ordering since they don't serve you. This 2 star review is due to the hair I found in my biscuit sandwich in the gravy. It was long piece of woman's hair which seemed awkward since the cooks were two guys in there. I don't think I'll be coming back here even though we love so close to here. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the hair in the gravy because I was pretty upset and ruined my appetite. Usually I can deal with it but it was in the gravy who knows what other crap could be in there. It's so hard to trust eating outside anymore.

An adorable, no-frills brunch spot with a lovely view -- parking is definitely scarce, so would recommend coming early or carpooling! You order at the counter and find seating, either indoors or outdoors BUT I highly suggest outdoor since the patio is heated and the lake looks lovely! They have all of the classic brunch favorites ranging from omelettes to burgers and the usual sweet fare -- I got an omelette and loved it, as well as a mimosa! The food comes out relatively quickly, even when they're busy. It's such a charming spot and I had a lovely Sunday morning catching up with a friend!

Had brunch here the other day with some friends. There was a long line to place an order, probably waited ~30 min on a Sunday afternoon. You order at the counter and take a buzzer, then you can sit wherever is open. Me and my friend ending up splitting two dishes bc we wanted to try both. We had the chorizo breakfast burrito & the bread pudding French toast. Really enjoyed the French toast. The burrito was just ok. Also had the strawberry latte which was decent. As well as the Bloody Mary. Overall it was good experience, they had a few other menu items I would try so may come back another time

Great local spot! I took my mum on Mother's Day for a delicious breakfast. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, the coffee is great, and food is excellent. I'll be going back!

Stonehouse is such a nice classic place for breakfast! Your food comes out fast and it all tastes so good!

Been here multiple for lunch and brunc. Haven't been here in while due to Covid. They are no longer taking orders t table. You order at the counter and you get a number/beeper. . First time sitting upstairs. Food still good, people friendly, love the rustic feel, clean!

Would prefer to give this 3.5 stars rather than 4. Anyway, the place is super cute. Was an old gas station made of stone then the family lived there as in a home for years til 2011. Beautiful view of Lake Washington. Our food was delicious with big portions. The service was weird, though. It's one of those places where you order and pay at the counter then take a buzzer. When the food is ready, you go get it. I ordered pancakes with maple syrup. There was a choice of a different type of syrup (so there were two choices) and I selected maple. Got the food, the syrup was prepackaged fake maple made of corn syrup. I went up, said something to the guy and he said it was maple. Um, no. So he got another person to help and she said they were out of maple and this is the substitute. Hey, if a restaurant is out of something, that's ordinary. No fault there. Just tell me. I generally don't touch corn syrup. But whether I do or don't, just advise people of the substitution. And offer the choice of the other one. Had breakfast, wanted more juice. Went to counter, ordered and paid for it. Got the buzzer as per usual. I saw a few minutes later that the juice was ready and sitting on the bar. Buzzer didn't go off. Staff walking around, oblivious. I went up and asked is that was my juice. Yes. Ok. When I paid for it, they wanted to know if I wanted my change, which was 40 or 50 cents. Yeah, I do. Maybe they thought it was to be a tip? Ok, I guess. Just weird. Like I said, the good points are solid. Good food, adorable place. Won't be back as I don't do business with places that substitute without communicating first.

Fantastic find! Our food was fresh, hot and very tasty. We shared the Eggs Benedict's and baked French toast. Eggs Benedicts was perfect. The English muffin was light and fluffy but still full of nooks and crannies. The baked French toast was lightly sweetened with more of a bread pudding texture. Make sure to get here early because parking is limited. Next time I'm getting the chicken and biscuits. Yum!

I love this charming café that my partner and I discovered while walking through Lakeridge Park then along Rainier Ave. Everything seemed decorated for the fall season, very family friendly vibes. The Stonehouse reminds me of a casual beachside shack, where cocktails come in plastic cups and everyone is unwinding from a morning or afternoon outdoor adventure. My partner got a coffee but thought it wasn't very good. I had a Bloody Mary, which was small and watered down. I liked the accoutrements on top. We were eyeing a different spot for food and decided not to eat here. I will say that the staff is super chill and conversational. The furniture is creative, i.e. oil rig chairs. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but glad for the memories!

Went here for brunch with friends-- everything is kinda overpriced for what you are actually getting with taste and portion, you serve yourself and bus your own tables and you pay immediately when you order and they still spin the screen around for a tip when there is literally no service and you don't know how the food is-- my eggs Benedict eggs were over cooked while the food wasn't really warm and my friend's chicken and waffles breading was super bland. It came with an ube syrup which was exciting in theory but it tasted like the fake grocery store ube sauces. Very letdown truly.

What a cute lil brunch/breakfast spot! Before heading to a flight, my friend and I stopped here for breakfast at 10AM on a Saturday. First, it's such a cool location and story - I almost drove past it at first! They do have a small parking lot, but both my friend and I were able to grab spots; however, there was also plenty of street parking nearby. There was a consistent line - but was definitely not a long wait. I started with a maple cinnamon latte, one of the seasonal specials. It was flavorful, without being too sweet - sometimes maple flavored things can just be so overpowering! Then, we actually both got the traditional breakfast platter - toast, eggs, home fries, and a meat of your choice. The bacon was thick cut and we were both surprise at home much we got. Eggs were cooked excellently. I'm usually not a home fries lover, but these were cooked and seasoned well. Overall, definitely a cute location for a quick bite to eat!

We came on Sunday morning at about 10:30 AM. There was a long line, but we ordered our food and drinks, and had everything we wanted within 20 minutes. Here is what we ordered: Eggs Benedict with Ham: while I prefer my eggs benedict with seafood, this really hit the spot. Their hollandaise sauce seeped into the ham and it was delightful. Complete with home fries. Chicken and waffles: this came with syrup on the side. The flavor of the chicken was incredible. I don't think it needed any of the syrup. But the crispness of the chicken with the softness of the waffle was a positive experience. Mimosa with pineapple: this mimosa was mostly champagne, and some pineapple juice. The pineapple is extremely sweet, but they were well balanced. Americano: got some coffee to go. Not the best or unique coffee we have ever had, but it hit the spot. We love Stonehouse, because the quality of the food is great, the people who work there are nice, and it is nice to be able to choose where we sit, and leave on our own terms. We don't mind bussing our own tables!

Customer service was very horrible. The lady at the register and manager were racist towards me and both had attitudes. They were also bluntly rude and made me feel uncomfortable. Would never recommend to anyone.

We loved it! Yes you order at the door and have to bus your own, but the food was good, not over priced for today's post Covid prices. The view was amazing and if the weather was warm the outdoor seating looks awesome! Our food was served very quickly for how busy it was as well. I had the chicken fried steak, it was ok. The OM eggs were over done, but the CF steak was good and the potatoes were tasty. My S.O. had the Monte Christo. She loved it. I would definitely go again.

Great breakfast place. Enjoyed a nice omelette and a solid good cup of coffee. Definitely family oriented.

The meal was average. I wouldn't say there was anything special. The chicken in our chicken and waffles was a little dry. The country fried steak was pretty good. But nothing was special that would make me really inclined to come again. I would, if I was nearby and hungry for breakfast but I wouldn't go out of my way. You order and find yourself a table. You're given a buzzer that will light up for you to grab your order when its ready. So it's mostly self serve. The food didn't take too long considering how busy it was.

Enjoyed this place. went for an r&b brunch event and it was really cute. good DJ, good vibe of people, nice view of the water and the front enterance is picture worthy. Because of the event the lines were pretty long but can't hold that against them. food came out fairly quick considering the amount of people here. mimosa pitchers were good! we all enjoyed our food

Beautiful views, great aesthetics inside and out, good food and good vibes from staff! I absolutely adore this spot

One of my new favorite brunch spots close by. It's a family-owned business that serves all day breakfast and brunch in a cozy atmosphere. The food is fresh and comes out quick. Not only is the food tasty, but you can also enjoy an amazing view of Lake Washington while you enjoy your meal. They often host events, so follow their Instagram or go on their website to see what's the latest fun activity! This is a hidden gem you won't want to miss out on. Foods tried: - Chicken & waffles w/ use syrup - chicken was crispy and delicious. The ube syrup complimented well with the fried chicken, and is definitely a unique part of this dish. - Eggs Benedict - comes with the most delicious breakfast potatoes. A great dish to get if you're going for something classic! - Hazelnut Latte & Irish cream Latte - I highly recommend trying their coffee, it's a great addition to the meal especially for the chilly winter days.

Such a cute place to have brunch! This was my second time coming here, and again- didn't get any pictures of the food cause I was so excited. You order downstairs and you can either sit on the main floor, upstairs, the patio or outside! The view is incredible and this place has such a home-y feel. The vibe is so relaxed and that's what I love most about coming here. We ordered the pancakes with ube syrup and eggs and potatoes. Everything was so good but there's something so good about their breakfast potatoes! It's addicting, make sure you give it a try!

This is such fun, delicious, dog friendly (on patio) brunch spot! I visited this weekend with a couple of other friends, one baby and two dogs and we had a great time all around. The people that work here are phenomenal, the ordering process is easy and the delicious, fresh food and coffee is prepared relatively quick! The patio is nicely covered with heaters so you feel warm and comfortable even on a rainy day. The only unfortunate thing we experienced was a disgruntled customer - who was passively disgusted by the presence of dogs on a patio. At first, I sat at a table next to her with my dog while I waited for my friends and under her breath she said "oh great". When my friend arrived with her dog I could hear her say something along the lines "is this a zoo". So I quietly guided my friend and her dog, plus another friend and her baby who just arrived to a table at the opposite side of the patio from this fellow customer. When I was ordering food inside, I guess she called the chef out and expressed concern around sanitary conditions, food poisoning, etc. My friend said the chef was taken back by this customer but handled the conversation with nothing but professionalism and poise. Both the chef and the staff here are so hard working and kind. I'm glad that customer ended up leaving. We will be back - with many friends (including our respectful, well behaved, groomed dogs).

Waterfront view, great brunch spot which i feel like seattle needs more food spots like this place (Expansion of locations would be a chefs kiss) service is quick with a lil buzzer thingy system, and food is really good

This could be the first mediocre meal to receive a 5-star review, but my reviews always stand for something and this one is no different. I have no idea how long this place has been here, but I didn't know they served food until a week ago. Being a literal stone house, I thought this was the kind of place that sold garden gnomes, water features and expensive stuff people with too much money buy for their lakeside homes. It wasn't until I did a breakfast search last week that I realized what this place was. Kudos to the website, everything was crystal clear and what I loved most is they listed upcoming closures. Too many places don't take the extra time to ensure guests know their schedule. I really appreciated and respected that. Here is what happened, we arrived 10 minutes post open, it was fairly empty as you might expect. We placed our order, sat down and watched the family of four ahead of us get their order and eat it before our pager rang. 30 minutes post order I asked where our simple egg order was and for reasons that could not be explained, the kitchen claimed to never have gotten the order. I won't tell you what was done, out of respect to the business, but they stepped up and took care of it. I'll be honest, the meal wasn't good and I wouldn't consider coming back for breakfast, but how you handle a bad situation says something about you, especially when it's your fault. Everyone was apologetic and even moreover, I could tell it was sincere. We had Breakfast Burrito's and the flavor just wasn't there, It didn't taste like Chorizo, there was no heat or spice and for a Hispanic kitchen, I was very let down. The potatoes were perfection, but clearly not enough to save this meal. I'd consider returning for lunch at some point, but the breakfast just didn't impress.

I visited this cozy beachside cafe for coffee in the past but today was my first time dining-in. It was a lovely experience when I came in for a weekday brunch, and I really enjoyed the service and food. I tried their cappuccino, Stone House Platter, and BLTA - all were really yummy and portion sizes were good. Don't expect it to be fancy, but if you're alright with a self-serve and self-bussing concept, it's a great place for a simple meal.

This place was cute as heck for Christmas! Very fun decor, right on the water, not crowded, has its own parking lot. You order at the counter then find seats. Food is standard brunch fare. Maybe the dishes are $2 more than I think it's worth, but it's real cozy vibes with upstairs/downstairs and indoors/outdoors selection.

food was really good and filling. I had the french toast and the only thing i wished it had more of was fruit but overall really good. it's pretty sweet with the syrup also. my bf got one of the burgers and it was pretty decent since he's a burger guy but not my cup of tea. lots of places to sit inside or out. the ambience was so so could use some nicer placement of tables and overall seating inside but the outside seating was gorgeous. food came quick and hot. the strawberry lemonade was good, nothing out of this world. staff is friendly as always. will be coming back, especially during the summer

Stonehouse Cafe is in a great spot right on the lake. They have a beautiful patio and the food and coffee drinks were really good! I got the strawberry latte with almond milk, which was a seasonal special drink, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed my veggie scramble. The prices were honestly a little less than what I typically pay for breakfast/brunch in Seattle so I was happy with that. You order at the counter and then seat yourself, so if you are going in a group I suggest having one person wait in line to order so you can snag a table on the patio!

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone enjoys this place. The ordering system is so idiotic that they need a giant poster every five feet to tell you how to use it. Thats not enough though. They also had to add additional printed signs with caveats to multiple steps. What a joke. The website and restaurant have different items on the menu, and "we don't have that anymore" was a common utterance when ordering things from the menu at the restaurant. I thought I was missing out having never been to Stone House Cafe after a number of years living in Seattle. i was wrong.

Food was really tasty, you order at a counter and bus your own tables, so it's pretty informal. Really nice outdoor spaces.

I have been wanting to go here for a couple years now I am so sad that I waited so long to go! Such a unique place you can relax and not feel rushed! Beautiful views and very pleasant staff! The food is really good and not overpriced! I cannot wait to come again.

Love love love this place! Cute cozy, eclectic, comfy. Food is unique and super tasty!! I love the atmosphere and everything about this place. They have a nice upstairs that you can look over the water and eat. Def go check this unique place out.

Came here for brunch today. You basically order/pay at the counter and they will give you a buzzer when your food is ready. You pick up your own utensils and choose any available tables. Front of the restaurant seatings are great for the best view of the water. But let's talk food now... I saw Affogato on the menu and immediately zoned in on that. Worse decision ever - haha. I dug into the ice cream and encountered a chunky mouthful making me go "huh? The ice cream can't be that icy!" No, it was ice cream with thick shredded coconuts! Who puts shredded coconuts in an affogato? Nowhere on the menu does it even list that the ice cream they'll choose is this bizarre option. I can understand using plain coconut ice cream in an affogato would be interesting, because I've had coconut coffee before, but shredded coconuts? SMH! Now to the entree - Chicken Fried Steak. Gravy was way too thick and overly creamy. The steak itself was greasy. Breakfast potatoes were delicious and eggs were perfectly over hard the way I like. Then again, if you can't even do potatoes and eggs right, that would be epic failure. All in all, I won't be back. I give it 2.5 stars since service was still friendly. Note: Parking lot was kind of iffy as I'm not sure why they didn't open up the gate so cars can do a one way turnaround to get out. Instead, the parking lot is a dead end in which the entrance is the exit with only enough space for one car at a time. At least you can park on the streets but crossing the street is a bit dangerous too with cars going fast both ways.
