Sano Cafe

This is a very good place for really healthy options, when you do care about your diet, and what you eat.We've always enjoyed the bowls, as they are quite a bit of food, and the taste is really good.There is a bit of a wait at times, so be aware.Outside of that, I highly recommend this place.

Fresh juices. Love coming here after a workout. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's a very casual grab and go environment. Fast service too.

Setting: A very cute cafe in downtown Mercer Island. It has outdoor and indoor seating. It was a nice sunny day so we sat outside and had brunch.Food: We had the Tropical Pitaya acai bowl & Avocado Toast. We didn't have super high expectations for the acai bowl because we haven't found great acai bowls outside of Hawaii. I would say the bowl was decent but nothing amazing. The ingredients were fresh and the portion was a decent size. The avocado toast was solid but also nothing special. Value: We expected to slightly overpay for the food (which is definitely true anytime I get avocado toast). The portions were on the smaller side but it didn't bother me and my husband too much, because once again, that was what we expected. Service: Since you order in the front and seat yourself, there isn't too much other interaction with the staff. You get water yourself as well. Nevertheless, the people at the register were pleasant enough. Other: Great place to get an acai bowl or brunch if you live in Mercer Island or are nearby!

We dine out for experience, and our experience was very unwelcoming and unfriendly. It felt cold and uninviting which made our first visit unpleasant. We tried a breakfast bowl and tropical bowl. We chose to dine in and our tropical bowl was in plastic container, and other bowl was in an actual dish. The water dispenser is tiny and we could only get a tiny half glass of water with our meal. The food was fresh, but nothing special. I enjoy eating out to experience food I wouldn't make at home. I honestly felt like I could've made both better in our home. It lacked flavor and lacked presentation. I have mixed feelings after our visit to Sano. I think it's a popular healthy choice in Mercer Island, and that makes sense considering it's location. If I lived on Mercer Island I'd likely revisit only for a quick healthy option, but likely will not return.

Shoutout to this healthy delicious woman owned cafe! The smoothies, salads, bowls and coffee drinks are freshly made and there's not one item I've had here that hasn't been short of amazing. The staff is attentive there's plenty of seating inside and a couple tables outside for days like today (it's 60 degrees). And so convenient to go to after a hearty workout at Impact Fitness another woman owned MI treasure.

The food is pretty good when I don't feel like making something at home. The wait is quite long usually, even if there's only a couple orders in front of you. Overall, I go here when I want something healthy and it's a good spot for that. 2 areas I wish would be improved is listing caloric content on menus and I wish the smoothies were colder (they seem slightly above room temp).

This little cafe is in a convenient area with street parking around. The place itself is cute and clean. There's plenty of small seating inside, and a small outdoor area at the front. I ordered a banana nut butter bowl, I waited 5-10 minutes for it which wasn't too bad considering the amount of people there. The bowl itself was super yummy! I got it to-go and gobbled it up at home. The base banana was super creamy and refreshing. It came with fresh fruits, various seeds, and peanut butter. It didn't look like a lot, but I got so full I wasn't able to finish it! Definitely worth, and would 100% come back again to try their other menu items!

Sano Cafe is a breakfast favorite of every office I cover in Mercer Island.The menu selection is vast, meal options are delicious, and the overall service is excellent. I will return, and highly recommend!

A waste of time and money.I ordered two avocado toasts with eggs on Sunday at 11:44am (order 58), got there at 12:20pm since it estimated the food to be ready at 12:14pm. My ticket hadn't even been printed and I got my food 45min after order!! So despite the mobile ordering I waited another 10-15min there.Worst, when I came home I realized they didn't give me the eggs, so I paid for an add on that I didn't receive.. not pleased.We like their food but every time we go we face something like that. They are clearly in need of some quality process update.

My new favorite breakfast/lunch spot! Place was packed on a Saturday morning but the food came out quick. Tropical smoothie was delicious, egg-avocado toast was tasty! The banana nut bowl was to die for. Everything was fresh, healthy & delicious. Manager Heather was friendly & very professional. Highly recommend this spot & wish they had more locations. I could eat here every day! Location was small but we sat right down. It was a clean, fresh vibe. A+
