2 Best Restaurants in Belltown, Seattle

Attached to Serious Pie, this fragrant bakery will make you reconsider cookies as a valid breakfast choice. The coffee, fresh pastries, cinnamon rolls, and breakfast sandwiches here are delicious, but Dahlia is particularly famous for its peanut butter sandwich cookies. (According to lore, the late director Nora Ephron was such a fan of the peanut butter cookies while filming the iconic rom-com Sleepless in Seattle that she requested the recipe and briefly even had the sweet treat named for her.) The decadent coconut cream pie is also a local favorite. Lunch items, including sandwiches, soups, and salads are served until 3 pm.

One of Seattle's favorite bakeries is also popular for breakfast and brunch, and an excellent place to take a delicious break on your way to or from the Olympic Sculpture Park. With its perfectly executed breads and pastries carefully crafted from regional ingredients—from Nutella brioche and ginger cookies to almond croissants and dark chocolate, sugar-dusted brownies—it's become a true Belltown institution. You can also wait for a table and have a larger breakfast or lunch—sandwiches, quiches, and salads are all fresh and expertly made.
