The Stonehouse Café

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR BRUNCH.You walk in, order at the register, seat yourself and they bring your order to your table. Not only was the food delicious but the cafe is aesthetically pleasing with a view of Lake Washington.We ordered the eggs benedict which came with the best hollandaise sauce we've ever tried. We also ordered the chicken fried steak which came with delicious sausage and bacon gravy. Both dishes came with home fries that were perfectly seasoned and crispy. For drinks, we ordered an iced oatmilk vanilla latte and they had free water at the condiment bar. I highly recommend coming here for brunch!

So we went to this little gem after seeing a little blurb about it on TV and although we couldn't go during the winter season we finally managed to go and yessssss it's absolutely worth it Just a quick FYI it's an order and then sit establishment, and currently no reservations (first come first serve) Let's get to the food! Chicken and waffles: 10/10 finallyyyyyyy the chicken was well seasoned and perfectly cooked which is hard considering it is a chicken breast PERFECT! Now the waffles though are the stars of this show, finally a place which crispy crunchy waffles that are super fluffy in the middle UGH YES! Corned beef hash: 10/10 flavorful and perfectly done the beef itself is cubed and tossed with veggies with a side of toast and 2 eggs. I might recommend that you grab a hot sauce or ask for some hollandaise sauce it just add a little something. Only a few downsides that by no means takes away from this place but would be lovely to see improved. The condiments (syrup, jam etc) are those single serve plastic container ones. The drip coffee is a little weak/could be improved upon so perhaps grab an americano instead of a drip coffee ‍ and they did seem to run out cutlery and hand out plastic utensils which isn't handy when trying to cut into chicken lol. Again love the place just a few things you might want to know GO VISIT THIS PLACE

I went back this weekend. I ordered the eggs Benedict again. The first order the eggs were over cooked almost hard boiled. I took it back and it was replaced with perfectly cooked eggs for this dish. I had a skinny vanilla latte that didn't disappoint. Still worth the drive.

The food was delicious! The servers are sweet! This place is super cute! We loved sitting on the rooftop! I pass by this place all the time. I cant believe this was my first time here. I cant wait to come back!

Stepping into Stonehouse Cafe is like stepping into a cozy cabin in the heart of Seattle. The warm lighting, rustic decor, and crackling fireplace instantly create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. I couldn't help but feel transported back in time, and I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.Upon entering, you'll notice a counter where you place your order. Once you've made your selection, you'll receive a buzzer that will notify you when your food is ready. Take this time to find a cozy booth or table, soaking in the charming ambiance. When your buzzer vibrates, head back to the counter to collect your meal. I opted for the Emerald City Sourdough toast with bacon and eggs, while my companion chose the chicken fried steak.The Emerald City Sourdough toast was undoubtedly the star of the show. The bread was thick, toasted to perfection, and paired perfectly with the savory bacon and eggs. The combination of flavors and textures was delightful.However, the chicken fried steak was a disappointment. It arrived cold and lacked the crispy, golden-fried crust I was expecting. The meat itself was also a bit dry and overcooked.Despite the inconsistent food quality, I still enjoyed the overall experience at Stonehouse Cafe. The charming atmosphere and friendly service made it a pleasant place to spend a morning. However, I would suggest tempering your expectations for the food and focus on savoring the ambiance.

What a cute brunch place in North Renton/Rainer Beach area!My friends and I were in the mood for mimosas. We got two carafes - one with orange juice and another with grapefruit juice. You can order online, but we decided to skip the screens and order along with our food. (You cannot order food online, as least that's we encountered). You order downstairs, get a buzzer, and wait.Wait was quick - not even 10 minutes and our buzzer went off. Drink: We opted for the traditional mimosa with Prosecco but you can also customize and choose rosé. Other juice options included cranberry, pineapple, and apple. The apple cider mimosa also looked amazing, though we decided not to this time.Everyone was happy with the food! I got the chicken and waffles with ube syrup. Bf got the fish sandwich. The chicken was freshly fried, well seasoned, and overall delicious. A little dry in some spots but nothing a little extra dip with syrup didn't cover. The ube syrup had strong ube flavor. Only downside was I wish it had a slightly thicker consistency.Fish sandwich was perfect. No complaints there. It was fresh with a generous piece of fish. My friends also said they we're happy choices.One thing we did notice were the ample (real) spider webs everywhere but it was very apropo for the Halloween decor. We appreciated the chill community vibe. This is a great spot for friends and family when the weather is nice out. FYI - No reservations. Seating is first come, first serve.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11am and it was not as busy as I thought which is nice (especially with a baby and a toddler) The parking lot is small so we were lucky to find a spot when we arrived.I read some other reviews about complaints for their ordering system and unfortunately I will have to agree with that. There is only 1 place to order food and drinks, which is right when you walk in the front door. There is not a lot of room to stand so I can imagine when they are busier the line will be out the door and it might get crowded and hard to maneuver by - truly a bottle neck. The menu is full of your typical brunch affair including egg Benedict, chicken and waffle, biscuit gravy, pancakes, etc. All kinds of coffee drinks as well as alcoholic beverages. You order and pay at the counter and get a buzzer that will alert you when your food is ready. You pick up your food at the pick up counter to the right of the order counter and bus your own tables.I will say their indoor and outdoor decor is very cozy and has an eclectic country chic vibe. The metal barrel seats looked so fun! We sat in the outside patio space on the upper part of the restaurant (not the roof deck) and there were plenty of seating that can accommodate small and big groups. They do have a utensil and condiments station, a water station, and a bussing station up there. Now the food: first of all it came out very quickly (less than 5 mins since ordering) I ordered the Chicken and Waffle with ube syrup, and the rest of group ordered biscuit and gravy, eggs Benedict, and an omelette. The chicken was hot and crispy with a light coating on the outside, the waffle was freshly made and soft and chewy, I love the ube syrup for its vibrancy and the perfect amount of sweetness for me. A great balance of salty and sweet.If you want good brunch with a view I definitely would recommend this place!

Great local spot! I took my mum on Mother's Day for a delicious breakfast. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, the coffee is great, and food is excellent. I'll be going back!

Stonehouse is such a nice classic place for breakfast! Your food comes out fast and it all tastes so good!

WOW. What a beautiful spot to have lunch. The food is equal to the setting, with a pair of sandwiches we enjoyed (chicken & fish) being delicious. Will definitely return.Confusingly, they ask for tips despite no table or bussing service. They take your order and put your food on the counter. I don't mind this model of service, but I'm not sure what I'm tipping at that point (and tip I did; just asking question here I didn't stiff the crew I just don't understand it)? There's no difference in the service model between them and a fast food spot. I'm curious if they tip at Taco Time when they go? And if not, why not? The food more than makes up for this oddity, and the staff were all fantastic and friendly.If you haven't been to this gem, try it soon.
