from Google & Yelp"Very crowded Sunday breakfast crowd, but it created a fun atmosphere. The staff seemed burned out already when we got there at 11am, and were not the friendliest, but they did their job well. My pancakes tasted like they were made with wheat flour, but I don't remember that being called out on the menu or being given an option. They had a weird mouth feel, but the rest of our breakfasts were delicious! Avacado toast and French toast were stand outs. I loved that they offer salad as an option with breakfast meals and not just potatoes. Also, saw some gross things with adults and kids helping themselves at the berry bar, so I passed on going up there. Might want to find a way to make that more sanitary."
"Casual brunch place that reliably serves a wide range of delicious dishes, from Swedish pancakes and challah French toast to farmer's hash with eggs, massive breakfast burritos, and classic eggs Benedict a few different ways. We continue to marvel at the freshness and sweetness of the berries on offer at the breakfast bar! Always crowded and popular, this Portage Bay location takes reservations through Open Table, which helps minimize or eliminate the usual wait. Service was very friendly, attentive, and efficient."
"Portage Bay is one of my favorite brunch spots — the fruit bar is always amazing and the food and service are consistently great. The only disappointment this time was the Seattle Benedict. For $30 (pre tax), the portion of crab was really tiny, maybe a couple of tablespoons. It still tasted good, but for that price I expected more of the star ingredient."
"🥘: 9/10. I came here with a couple friends to catch up after a long time! We ordered a lot of food and they were all very delicious! I ordered the grain oat blueberry toast and it was delightful! I love how everything tastes so refreshing and fulfilling! And yes, I made a big trip to the fruit bar and I am very satisfied with the fruit! Very sweet and just perfect! There are many fruit options and it made my toast taste so much better! 🧑🏻🍳: 7/10: The waitress there are all very friendly and kind to us! Willing to give us many time to decide what we want because we are all very indecisive, they are very patient and so nice! I really like their service! Hopefully next time we don’t have to wait that long because this place is always crowded! 📍: 7/10: Great location with many parking spots but we are just very unlucky after waiting for a while and still do not have a parking spot! I am very glad that we came here because it is way more easier than the other locations to find parkings! It will be nice if we have more room between tables so the dining experience will be more comfortable and complete!"
"Andrew is the most friendly waiter. Great service and really good breakfast. Portions are large enough to split for 2. And a short walk from the marina."
"Portage Bay Café in Ballard is one of those places that earns its reputation every single time. It's been a regular stop for me for over a year and the..."
