Crystal Creek Cafe

Came here with a friend for brunch and I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the pulled pork eggs benedict with hashbrowns and I have no complaints about it. Really good. I also tried a little bit of my friend's bacon potato pancakes and those were solid too.

Been here twice, both times on Sunday morning/afternoon. The waitlist gets long, so make sure you join at least half hour before your preferred seating time, especially if you have 3+ people. I saw a party of 5 wait for 45 minutes and a party of 10 wait over an hour. Restaurant is cute vintage airplane/post-WWII themed. Think the first Captain America movie if it was a restaurant.Service is great, polite and accommodating. Food arrived hot and fast. Pulled Pork Benedict 10/10. Friends ordered french toast, omelets, corned beef hash. All were delicious. Great spot to hit up on the way from Seattle side to the east for some hiking.

TLDR: insanely long wait time. Get the French toast, skip the pancakes and waffles. A veryyy busy cafe. Service: We got on the waitlist for a party of 8 and the estimated time showed 65 mins. We reached there and still had to wait 40 mins. It's only after we inquired about the time multiple times they seated us. The tables for 2 and 4 were fast moving and we do understand we were a larger party, but it's still a ridiculously long wait time. Once seated the service was pretty decent. Food: for drinks I ordered the m&m chocolate milk. For entree, I ordered the chicken sandwich/burger with the soup of the day on the side. The soup of the day was a beef barley soup.These chocolate milk was peaked with whipped cream and overall chocolaty deliciousness. The sandwich and soup were delightfully scrumptious.The French toast we got for the table was the best dish of the day! Pancakes and waffles were a huge letdown. Ambiance: retro classic American dinner with the decor of an aircraft hanger.

Why should I come here for breakfast instead of that place up the street? What separates this place from the others? I will tell you. Besides your regular breakfast items, they add on their own twist on breakfast dishes. Bacon potato pancakes, pulled pork breakfast burrito with their special housemade cream sauce, hobo scramble, to name a few. They actually put some thought into their menu and I respect that so much. Lots of seating with high ceilings. Beautiful and cozy decor. There's a reason they may have long-wait times. It's because the food is so damn good!

Visited Crystal Creek Cafe for the first time on this Monday for brunch, and it was hopping! I wonder if perhaps the start of Winter Break was a contributing factor.It was about a 20 minute wait for a table, but once seated, our waitress promptly came by to take our order, and food came out within 10-15 minutes. Most of the breakfast/brunch items are available to order as a half order, or a whole order for an extra $3-4, which seems the economical option if you want to share an order with someone or don't mind having breakfast leftovers. The whole order of California omelette was a generous serving of 4 eggs with bacon bits, tomatoes, and cheese, with sour cream, about 1/4 avocado, and fresh salsa and came with 4 slices of buttered toast. Everything tasted great, though nothing super special beyond breakfast food, but it was definitely filling, and I packed up a little less than half as leftovers. The hash browns were my favorite part - super crispy albeit greasy. Overall, a good place to get your fill on a filling, standard breakfast/brunch, but not necessarily a place I'd be craving to return.

Solid breakfast/lunch place in the Bothell, WA area. It's nothing spectacular and to be honest, i probably won't be back anytime soon.It's not so much as bad food, but nothing was memorable. I went for the fish tacos and the onion rings. Both were cooked well and very tasty. However, was kind of mid in terms of shocking me as this place was off of a recommendation as being a great restaurant. I would say it's a good restaurant If you're unsure of what you want to eat for a day and are between a bunch of things, then come to crystal creek cafe.It's the perfect substitute to any meal at an Applebees or chilis. It beats any chain restaurant in a heart beatBut it still didn't amaze me enough that I would want to return right away. Solid restaurant but nothing crazy special

This has become our ideal breakfast diner after we went to the national passport office in Lake City. My dad and I really enjoyed this place. Be prepared to wait as it is popular especially during Sundays. Food was great frankly speaking. I really appreciate it that we could do half portions which served with 2 sunny side fried eggs. Our black waiter Frank is amazing and courteous. It's not so expensive and the menu options are huge. The retro decorations are pretty nice looking and the option to sit in the 21+ bar and not wait in line was a good choice. Thanks Bothell for providing a fantastic dining restaurant to the locals.If you find my review useful or cool please don't hesitate to give a thumbs up.

I came in around lunch time hoping to grab brunch. Their breakfast menus are always great. I love the casual diner ambience. My friend had told me that a bunch of people were eating sandwiches as we were being escorted to our seat, so we decided to try them out. My friend got the spicy sweet chicken sandwich. It was really good, definitely spicy. I got the reuben and it was really yummy. I haven't had a good reuben in a while. The pastrami, sauerkraut, sourdough bread were perfectly balanced. I was pleasantly surprised that their other menus were just as good.

Wow,Tried this place out for fist time and everything was great.I had a dinner steak salad with chowder and the steak was tender and the chowder was excellent.The staff is so professional and very friendly and nice. I highly recommend this place.

This cozy old school Cafe was so cute! Even had an airplane hung from the ceiling! The decor was adorable! Server was so welcoming and such a delight! Came here for breakfast and I love to get chicken fried steak anywhere and had to try it here. Did not disappoint! Good size and the perfect amount of gravy! Cant go wrong with the sides of your choice of eggs, toast and perfect, crispy hash browns! Will be coming here again!
