Two-Block Radius / Chow The Food at the Elliott Bay Books Cafe Cafe is Consistently Excellent
Posted by Dan Savage on Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 1:35 PM
They were out of arugula so I couldn't have the pear-and-arugula salad. I reluctantly ordered the greek salad—I've never had a greek salad that didn't taste like a cliche—but this thing is amazing. That is all.

They were always outstanding at the old location -- the best food in Pioneer Square even including Salumi. Shame they're not open evenings there anymore :-(

The old EB Cafe was great, except I always nibbled nervously waiting to be entombed by an earthquake.

I hope that's not Ann Lander's old desk you're setting that cold drink directly down on. Ann would have said "coaster, please".

Really? This is the best snarky comments you can come up with folks? Come on. The guy writing this is a gay man. You wanna do "snarky", you gotta bring your A Game. Go read Henry Rollins's Vanity Faire blog and his comments from people convinced a Str8 Edge Punk is a Neo Nazi Fascist Sell Out Communist. Y'all be half assing it here.
A Lap top with a bicycle helmet on the table and you target the salad? Amateurs...

Ok, maybe not the most expensive spot in the 'hood but definitely the most expensive cookie in the area. If it wasn't so tasty I'd be more upset about it.

@15 He never says "Just about exactly" in his books. Imagine how brain damaged someone would have to be to say something like that...

I haven't been to Seattle in 7 months, I just realized I'll never get to visit the old Elliot Bay downstairs. Although it was never the same after they cleaned up/fixed up the bathrooms...

Last time I was there the smell of paint, adhesives and whatever else they used to build that place hung pretty heavy. Not so as to make you pass out like the early days, but still, I couldn't yet eat around those fumes.
Is that shit healthy to breathe, by the way? The employees must at least go home with some bad headaches. Imagine if a corporate store had a smell like that after remolding! The Stranger would be, you know, reporting it and everything.

Dan clearly has taste. Nothing against Oddfellows, but it's nice to have another option with tasty food in the neighborhood. Everything I've had at Elliott Bay Cafe has been very good.

Elliott Bay Cafe is the best lunch on the hill in my opinion, and of course in pioneer square. They usually have truffled deviled duck eggs, unfortunately not always :-( Holy crap... they are addicting! I can't have just one, even if I'm not hungry... super yummy!
