"Maltby Cafe is such a gem! Their menu has exciting options for breakfast, lunch and drinks. It gives a delightful dining atmosphere with such friendly service and lightning fast serving times. The veggie scramble is my favorite with the home potatoes being so nicely cooked. The fresh fruit was luscious."

"I hadn't been mean here in almost 25 years. I remembered loving the cinnamon roll but wasn't sure about the rest of the food. The cinnamon roll was super good. Huge, warm, lots of icing. And it had some raisins in it. Not with to bother me, but worth mentioning. Small nit-pick, I wish the icing was either cream cheese based or more similar to Cinnabon. It wasn't bad, but it tasted like a standard powdered sugar icing. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was great, but the biscuit wasn't my favorite style. It was pretty crumbly and lost all structure as I dug into it. Tasted fine. But I like a flakier Southern biscuit as opposed to this looser kind. My biggest issue is with the potatoes. They say that they're country-fried red potatoes, but I don't think they're fried at all. They were sort of al dente. The pictures online make them look crispy and golden brown, but these were pale and soft on the outside, still firm in the middle. I believe they're cooking them in too large of a batch and they're not able to get a good texture. This is a personal preference thing, and others might like this. If I had to sacrifice some volume to get a better texture, I would gladly do it. Overall I'm still giving it a 4 out of 5, but I wouldn't come back for the potatoes or the biscuits and gravy. The cinnamon roll is great, though. $20 for this plate of biscuits and gravy with undercooked potatoes and two eggs (excellent eggs) is a bit steep."

"This place has been around since 1988 and for good reason. The staff is amazingly kind. The service is good. If you struggle walking down or up stairs then this might not be for you. The restaurant is downstairs and a wait is common. The draw is the cinnamon bun which can feed 4 easily. I got the Swedish pancakes which were good but the marionberry fruit was very cold which I felt took away from the dish. We also got the biscuits and gravy which could use more gravy. The sausage was excellent I hope this place stays around for many years to come. It is an excellent cozy family restaurant that your family and friends would enjoy."

"I love this place with my whole heart. Maltby Cafe has been my favorite breakfast spot in the greater Seattle area for over 30 years, and that loyalty has been very earned. The cinnamon rolls are legendary for a reason. Warm, massive, perfectly gooey, and somehow still worth every bite even after decades of ordering them. The scrambles are always comforting, hearty, and done right, the kind of breakfast that keeps you full and happy all day. The ambience is pure cozy nostalgia. It feels like a place where time slows down a little, conversations linger, and breakfast actually feels special. No rush, no trend-chasing, just consistently great food and a vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Some places are good. This place is part of my life."

"It's been a long while since I've been to Maltby Cafe and I'm happy to report that nothing has changed. It's still giving you massive amounts of fresh, delicious food for a very reasonable price which is a rarity these days. Couple this with fast, friendly service, great coffee, and a great atmosphere and Maltby Cafe is still the best breakfast in Snohomish County and maybe even Western Washington."
