Holy moly... I've been to a lot of brunch spots, but this place takes the cake. Incredible breakfast. Outstanding French toast. Home made jam on the table. They even ask you how you want your bacon cooked... I mean... The customer service was fantastic as well. Telling everyone to go here when in Seattle.

Best corned beef hash, French toast and biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had! Made with care, fresh and unusual ingredients, and served in a lovely, comfortable and unpretentious space by people who are excited to be there.Great coffee too, with free refills!

Great food, great staff. Definitely a great breakfast go to. Staff always has a smile. Food is fast and always as expected. Only downside - it’s little too busy and crowded… usually a bit of a wait but worth it. The waitlist is a little confusing - you write your own name down sometimes, other times someone else does it for you.

One of the best country fried steaks I've ever had. The sausage gravy was delicious, the steak tender. The hash browns were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and the inside was nearly melt in your mouth. Would highly recommend.

It's worth the wait! We had a great breakfast here on our last day in Seattle. I didn't take enough pictures because we were so hungry! The French toast was AMAZING! Soft on the inside but insanely crispy on the outside. I'm not a huge French toast fan, but I've been trying to recreate it at home. The gravy was full of sausage, and the hash dish was the best I have ever had. Perfect portions weren't so huge that you were in a coma the rest of the day. Service was fast and efficient but never made us feel rushed, nor did they give off the appearance they were rushed. Wish I lived closer, would come once a week.

New favorite breakfast/brunch spot. Amazing French toast and I highly recommend the bacon arugula sandwich! Fast service and friendly staff.Parking: Can be tricky when it's busy but haven't ever needed to park more than a block or two away

Geraldine’s was super good. My boyfriend and I came to Seattle for a trip and stopped here as we were leaving on a whim and it has to be one of the best breakfasts I’ve had at a breakfast spot. I got the biscuits and gravy and he got the herbed omelette and both were killer! The food looked so good I didn’t even snap a picture of it before eating it. The bacon is a nice thick cut bacon and they have a little jar of strawberry jam/preserve on the tables that’s super good with the toast. Orange juice was also very good and citrusy. I would highly recommend this spot for breakfast meals it was well worth it!

Ambiance is good, food is alright, prices are a little tough to swallow. It’s your standard diner food but with premium prices. Didn’t feel like this place was extraordinary or anything, just your average diner experience. To be honest you can get much better breakfasts elsewhere, I think your just paying that downtown Columbia City exorbitant tax.

We found this place online and came and the food and service didn't disappoint that we decided to come back the next day and were excited to get the same guy server but our experience the next day was negative to say the least. He had a very bad attitude towards us and I thought he was having a bad day but he was only having an attitude towards us not the other patrons. I was so disappointed because the food is good but I don't want to go to a place where they give poor service. Sadly, I'm taking off my list of places to go eat next time I am in Seattle. He left a bad impression of this place.
