The Scene – On weekend mornings, the line outside Mae's is a microcosm of Seattle. Couples in athletic clothes, others in Birkenstocks, families with young children and even youths with varicolored hair, tattoos and body piercings. Diners wait in line for the same thing, namely a spot in one of four themed dining rooms--such as the fabled Moo Room or in the booth that looks like a giant mouth. – – The Food – Breakfast is the specialty and it is served all day. Thanks to Paul Bunyan-sized portions of potatoes and toast (or a biscuit) served with almost every breakfast…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Phinney Ridge offers ample street parking nearby.
When to Go:
This neighborhood spot is crowded on weekends. Hit the walk-up window for an espresso, then get in line and do some people-watching.

The menu is amazing.

The menu is amazing. Where else can you get a real ice cream soda fountain milkshake and eggs as a meal option? They have soy for my coffee, veggie sausage, crispy bacon, smoked trout, hasbrowns, grits, eggs Benedict, chorizo, smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes, Belgian waffles....The list goes on. Their cinnamon rolls are delectable, but also about 1000 calories each so I try to ignore them flirting with me from the menu. I always leave full and happy

can't resist

by Florida guest at Citysearch

We're old school regulars to Mae's, so it was a surprise when they started adding weekend specials. I can't resist novelty - so last week I had the 'ooh-y gooh-y' (or something like that) French Toast. Now they've had the rare and delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast for years (our 10 year old's go-to order) but this new special is made with Croissants. !!! Who knew? It works though - esp. with the fresh strawberry jam (and whipped cream).

Now they've got 2 new twists. I couldn't bring myself to order the pancake with worms (I'm not a big gummy bears/worms fan) but the Turtle Pancakes - WOW!. How can you not love chocolate chips, pecans, caramel sauce and whipped cream all on or in the pancake?
