Bookstore Bar & Cafe

I really liked the vibe and service of the place. I just had a dessert here. Loved that carrot cake. Probably one of the most flavorful carrot cake I have ever had.

Had 2 experiences here on a recent trip. Breakfast was pretty good. Avocado toast (minus pick de Gallo) is on pointe! They do not know how to make an over medium egg however. Coffee is strong. Breakfast wait staff is MIA a lot which is strange since it’s a small joint. Went back for evening drinks. Whisky menu lives up to its hype. They made me a mean old fashioned and another cocktail, which want quite “craft” but I’ll take it. Whisky flights are on the docket for next trip. Bartender and evening wait staff were friendly and attentive. Try the carrot cake. It’s special, and that’s saying a lot for carrot cake. Ginger jam and grapefruit preserves elevate this typically bland and dry desert to something you crave again the next day.

The bar & cafe is separated into two areas, the decor is unique as it is in the style of a bookstore. The service was polite and quite fast. We had a cheeseboard with some red and white wine, and even got to witness the infamous Seattle weather, literally showering relentlessly without warning. A great place to relax while staying in the Kimpton Alexis Hotel.
