Review by Eva O'Reilly

September 10, 2024

Portage Bay Cafe in Ballard is an absolute delight! 🌟 We arrived for brunch with a party of eight and quickly learned that reservations are a must, especially on weekends.

While we waited a bit longer than expected, the playful squid bike rack kept the kids entertained, and the nearby labyrinth was a hit!

Once seated, the food arrived promptly. The Seattle Benedict with crab meat was a standout, while the kids adored their pancake creations. Don’t miss the fresh fruit bar - perfect for customizing your dishes!

Great place for family brunching! 🍽️✨
