Breakfast in Seattle

“Great old-school vegetarian spot focused on simple ingredients rather than veggie 'meats'. Their coffee is great, their Yogi tea is great and the breakfast vegetables and tofu + tahini sauce is one of my top 5 meals anywhere! ***Update: The tempeh burger and chipotle tofu sandwiches are amazing! The Lasagne got rave reviews from my son and a (non veg) family member!”

“Sunlight Café is a Roosevelt institution. I've been coming here since before I could read and their incomparable sesame crunch waffles have set the standard for what I look for in a waffle anywhere else. Homey, hearty, and delicious, Sunlight is probably my favorite brunch spot in the city.”

“I’ve had breakfast/brunch food here only, so this rating is for only those categories. The standout aspect of this restaurant is simply the evident quality of the ingredients. (And obviously professional quality chefs - yummy stuff). You can taste the difference. I’m always telling myself to come here more often. Very nice waitstaff also and relaxed atmosphere. There is a patio area that is dog friendly and fantastic on a sunny day. Far superior to any nearby breakfast/brunch places and the best breakfast that I’ve had in Seattle.”

“We recently were invited to come have breakfast at the Sunlight, which is a stand out restaurant in the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle. It has a welcome and warm inviting, sunny atmosphere upon walking in :) We chose to sit upstairs, which has a cozy inimate vibe, and we received wonderful attentive service by 2 different servers. Both were excellent and Roland was extra helpful :) We had delicious coffee (they have oatmilk) And we also had yummy huevos rancheros! It was a very pleasant experience overall, we will definately be back! - K & E”

“I’ve been going here since I was a child, and i absolutely love the waffles. Highly recommend 💜”

“My second time in this place and I’ve found my breakfast spot! The food is very yummy and I feel welcome, being trans. Good Bloody Mary too.”

“All of the food here is great but I especially crave both the Sesame Crunch and Lemon Poppyseed waffles, as well as their potatoes!”

“Absolutely hidden gem in Seattle! My recommendation would be poppyseed lemon waffle, Vegan Highlander but everything here looks clean and healthy with a nice chill vibe! I have been here several times and never disappointed!”

“My favorite huevos rancheros around. Great green sauce. Friendly staff. Great”

“Visiting from Atlanta , Ga and let me tell you how amazing our breakfast was! I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed the tofu. The marinade was top tier and I’m eager to know what it is so I can make it at home. Everything had a so much flavor and our waitress Johanna was extremely sweet. We need a Sunlight Cafe in Atlanta.”
