Tenth West

The bagel sandwich was the best I've ever had. Lots of meat and well seasoned. The scrambles are expensive but a good portion and like everything else taste amazing. The staff was friendly but never came around even though it wasn't very busy. A $4 coffee and was difficult to get a refill. You won't like the price but will definitely love the food.

Cozy sandwich shop on the west edge of Queen Anne. It's on a quiet street right by the bus stop with some good outdoor seating, but they don't have a ton of space for big parties and they tend to be busy on the weekends. Try to get in earlier in the morning (before 10) if you're looking for less of a wait. I almost want to say I regret not getting the breakfast sandwiches, but the deli sandwich I had was very good -- I'm just going to have to come back to try the breakfast bagel too 😆

One of the items I placed on our loose itinerary included simply, "a coffee shop". As out-of-towners visiting Seattle for the first time, it felt like the thing to do. But on our way to a hike that became a 1,200-ft ascent, the next-door Coffeemind didn't provide the sustenance we needed. Tenth West became the benefactor, as we stumbled in to the humble café that simply appeared to serve food. Serve they did. Contributing 5 of the 6 total patrons in the shop on a Friday morning, we were at the beck and call of the friendly staff. The same friendly staff that not only allowed, but suggested I traverse back to the adjacent coffee shop to satisfy my Chai Latte fix (Tenth West offered coffee, but I am not too keen on the mud). The quaint building offered a homey vibe, even appeared to have a small market of miscellaneous grocery items available. Subsequently, it churned out hefty portions of breakfast and lunch fare, including the pictured turkey pesto sandwich. For a moment, I felt transported to an alternate universe where I grew up in a charming town in which my mother made incredibly delightful sandwiches (with respect to Mom). 5 stars I didn't expect to be giving out!
