The Cottage

Tip : Make reservations (Note: there is $15 no show fee while reserving)If not, you may have to wait. Ambience 2/5 - A laid-back brunch spot. We had our table by the front door. The floor was strangely vibrating or trembling every thirty minutes. Food (4/5)Coffee (3/5) - Latte was okay. Probably ought to have requested extra hot.Turkish Eggs (4/5) - Flavorful and fresh. Simple savory breakfast with perfectly poached eggs, served over a delicious garlicky yogurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil sauce with red pepper flakes.Lemon cheesecake (2/5) - There was very little lemon flavor and an overwhelming amount of cheery syrup. What a paradox Service (3/4) - Our waiter was incredibly friendly. also made frequent check-ins. However, when we asked for salt and pepper, one of the servers acted very rudely and with attitude.

There are minimum options for brunch in Bothell but The Cottage is near my place. We asked for a table and felts like we were imposing with the wish of sitting outside and not near the main pathway. Hostess was a bit overwhelmed by our simple request.Once seated, we met with a bit of attitude by the server. I'm very allergic to service of this sort and simply have zero tolerance for it.Things mellowed out and my cappuccino was very good as were the hash browns and croissant.I was glad to leave though eventually as the initial vibe kept lingering.Not sure I'll be back...we'll see.

Fun breakfast / brunch spot to go to mid week. Assuming weekends are really busy. We came in on Friday at lunchtime and got right in. Patio seating on a nice day or inside if not. Sit at the bar for friendly conversation with the staff. Not cheap but worth the price.

A cute place for brunch and they have pretty much a full bar here with tons of different alcohol selections. But I ordered an Americano since it was just something I needed at that moment. This place was so busy for lunch but that does tell you one thing, this place is going to be good! Ordered a Caesar salad, short rib hash, and a bowl of soup. Not one item was not delicious and the service here was great! I got asked many times if I needed anything else and they filled my water cup often. The soup I don't know what the ingredients were inside but I seriously thought about the taste and how great it was with the side of bread. Short rib hash was tasty and I love how the hasbrown was crispy and just so good! Yum!

First time in and we were seated outside right away. They do not have physical menus and have instead QR codes laminated on the table to scan with your phone (or if you ask they may offer you a tablet to view it), and they also do not have a classic drip coffee available (just espresso, French press, etc.) Service was friendly and the ambiance is upscale casual, the decor outside is nice with covered seating, and the elevated tables are underneath various mood lighting and heat lamps. The Eggs Benedict was delicious l, and the hash browns were great (made with rosemary!) but the bacon on the side was a bit dry. I was informed that the fry was alright, but the sausage patty was a bit chewy. The prices are on the higher side, but they do have plenty of vegetarian options.

Summary: a cute local spot for brunch with kind wait staff. We were seated outside as we came on a weekend morning and didn't have reservations, but the indoor ambiance from what we saw was quite pleasant! Pros:* they serve classic brunch options* the eggs Benedict was decent* average priced food and drinks for the area* service was very kindCons:* parking can be limited and street parking is sometimes hard to find* long wait times sometimes if you don't make reservations in advance, but they do have outdoor seating that usually has a table open* egg cheese croissant was dry and bland

The food was very good. I really loved the croissant French toast! My partner loved his fry up and our friends loved their food. It was amazing that their patio is dog friendly too! The server unfortunately forgot our order and didn't get it in until much later, so there was a bit of a delay. I'd definitely go back, because it's really cute and had a great ambiance.

Warm cosy ambiance inside. I've dined outdoor patio, indoor and at the bar. Service is great and oh my the food arrives quickly. A big plus for me as I seem to be starving all the time. lol. The last time I stopped by, I had the short rib hash and now I am hooked. The presentation is beautiful and appetizing. I wish the eggs were a little more over easy to complete the meat and crispy potatoes. But all in all it's still pretty good. Another good dish is the croissant French toast. I keep hoping that they will offer regular French toast because I love their recipe. Maybe one day they will switch it up. You should also check out their happy hour. Sip your vino with some cheeses on the patio on a nice sunny day in summer or sit by the cosy fireplace indoors. I think there's something for everyone. Oh did I mention that they are dog friendly! Yay.

Good vibes and great service. Recommend for dinner or brunch on weekends! Everything from drinks or food is great.

Such a cute spot for brunch! Came here with a group of friends after a hike and since we had 2 pups with us, we needed to find a spot that was dog friendly with an outdoor patio. Love the Cottage outdoor patio area! It's covered, heated, and doggo friendly! They event brought over a water bowl which was so nice!Service was friendly and we were seated promptly. Although food did take awhile, because I think our order was lost but they were really nice and so it wasn't too big of a deal. + Chai tea - tasty and comforting in the cold weather+ house sausage is soo yummy! Ordered a side with my entree and it was so worth!+ croissant french toast with berries - my husband loved this so much!+ eggs in yogurt sauce with bread - nicely flavored and is pretty good! Overall, we had a great time here and would come back again for their brunch! Food was solid!
