The Row House Cafe! Located in South Lake Union, this place is a pleasant surprise tucked away in a neighborhood that we found by chance. The Row House is in fact an actual house that was converted into restaurant space so it feels like you are going over to a good friend's house for a meal and drinks. The menu is done well and has an appropriate amount of offerings in conjunction with the size of the restaurant. The service was slow the day I went, but again you are hanging out at your good friend's house so just relax and enjoy your beverage.
If I had to choose their specialty, it would be their variety of grilled cheese sandwiches, the ultimate comfort food. But this isn't your mom's Velveeta or Kraft American Cheese Product, kids. This is a classier variety of cheeses grilled up to perfection between two fresh slices of artisan bread. Mmm, mmm good! Speaking of which, they do have tomato basil soup on the menu for those of you who enjoy dipping your grilled cheese like a 6 year old (which I totally still do and will until I am too old to lift the sandwich from the soup bowl to my mouth and then I will have someone assist me by dipping it for me because that's how awesome it is).
Anyway, they do have adult beverages available but their salted caramel latte picture looked so good I opted to give their liquid caffeine fix a whirl instead. I would say it was average, but that could be from the distraction created with having 7 different types of grilled cheese to choose from. At any rate, there's definitely better coffee drinks to be had in Seattle, but I doubt they can match the homey comfortable feeling of Row House Cafe. Add this to the list of places to try if you can find it.
