Bakery Nouveau is the ultimate spot for grab-and-go treats, such as macarons, pastries, quiches, and French breads, which are all served with coffee and various espresso drinks.

This cozy and intimate spot is a neighborhood favorite for catching a delicious first meal of the day, any day of the week. Circa provides patrons with some of West Seattle’s best breakfast and brunch dishes, such as their Louisiana eggs Benedict, decadent Hawaiian bread French toast, and butternut squash tacos. They also serve Stumptown coffee for those in need of a stimulant, and tasty lemonade mimosas to accommodate a quiet and relaxing weekend brunch experience.

Salty’s on Alki Beach

If you’re looking to celebrate a holiday or special occasion, or just want a luxurious meal surrounded by the beauty of Alki Beach, this is the brunch spot to come to in West Seattle. Salty’s on Alki Beach is an upscale restaurant serving premium, delicious food with gorgeous views of the ocean and Puget Sound.

Pearls Tea & Coffee

This adorable little tea and coffee shop is a great spot to grab breakfast or brunch inspired by French and Vietnamese cuisine and drinks. Pearls Tea & Coffee is most noted for their bubble tea, or boba, which is a milky tea beverage loaded with chewy tapioca balls, but their espresso drinks and avocado smoothies are also wonderful. They have great food options, such as crepes, baguettes, and banh mi sandwiches.
