Craving for Organic Cafe: Cafe Fiore

This week, I'm really craving for good breakfast places and also any organic philosophical eateries in Seattle. So if you see my articles for the past few days, all of them have been Organic cafes or eateries around Seattle.

Cafe Fiore is one of those Organic Cafe in Seattle. They have three locations around Seattle, which are Old Ballard, Queen Anne, and Sunset Hill. I have to admit, I have not been to this cafe yet. Although, I wished they had it earlier when I used to live in Ballard.

Michelle B, who's a Yelper Elite member said, "Great coffee shop to cozy up in when the weather is bad, or when the weather is actually nice you can hang out on the deck to soak up the sun. You could also get your coffee to go and try to make it down the hill to Golden Gardens since it's just so darn close."








Here are some ideas from our community about Cafe Fiore:

"This place only gets two thumbs up because I don't have any more thumbs." - Morgan W -

"They are also looking out for the environment. The cups are compost-able and they have a special "garbage" for those. They do it all." - Carrie H -

"I confess, only one visit so far. But the espresso was perfect. And by perfect, I mean parfait. Delicious. If it's always like it was today I will be there every day, six times a day." - Derek B -

If you think this is the kind of place you want to hang out at, you should see all the rave reviews about this place from our web community.

I dare you to try it! :)
The Natural Directory website posted a very nice article about Chaco Canyon Cafe, "For those of you who have never had a raw meal, have no fear: the food is scrumptious and will have you salivating at the thought of return visits. Hot vegan sandwiches and soup have been recently added to the menu, so you can bring your less-adventurous friends along!"

Seattle Organic Sweets: Molly Moon Ice Cream

Molly Moon Ice Cream is one of Seattle's organic sweet eateries. If you haven't been there, this is definitely the place to try for those of you, sweet tooth!...

Their Ice cream flavors are unique. I would recommend you to try the Chocolate Orange Sorbet..they are so YUMMY!!... they tasted so different from any other Sorbet that I've ever tried. It's more stickier and flavorful with varieties of unique flavors selections to choose from.

Some of the flavors of their ice cream are: Balsamic Strawberry, Olive Oil infuse flavor, Honey Lavender, Cardamom, Scout Mint, etc...they all tasted wonderful!...





Molly Moon Ice Cream is located in the heart of Wallingford. The place is small, but cozy. They got some nice and cool merchandise. From t-shirt, hoodies, aprons, all of them are Molly Moon branded.

Organic Eateries around Seattle : Portage Bay Cafe

One of the advantages living in the Northwest is that we are blessed to be surrounded with people that care about living healthy and eating organic food. Many restaurants in Seattle carry organic ingredients and are targeted specifically for Northwesterners.

Last week, I went with my sister to try this organic breakfast place called Portage Bay Cafe up in Roosevelt, the wait was 45 minutes, but it was well worth it.

Portage Bay Cafe specializes in Breakfast. They open from 7.30AM - 3PM (M-F) and 8AM - 3PM (Sat-Sun). If you don't want to wait for a long time, it's better to come early, right when they just open or later in the afternoon. Although breakfast is truly a gem over there, nothing beats the smell of coffee in the morning and a fresh pancake! Yummy!...

As soon as we are seated, we ordered something that the reviewers from Yelp have been craving about and that is Banana Foster French Toast and their special of the day- Goat Cheese Omelette with Nettles and Potatoes.

What we ordered were so good. Especially with the French Toast, you can have an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT fruit bar! Not just that, knowing that what you are eating are all organic, makes you fell so good!... Their philosophy is Eat Like You Give a Damn!

Apart from their excellent menu, Portage Bay Cafe's specials of the day was also depending on the seasonal local fruits/vegetables. Which makes this place even so special and local.

A friend of mine who later joined us for breakfast and an organic foodie later told me that the omelette that I ordered was very nutritious. She said that Nettle is an annual herbs that has to be grown locally. She was surprised that Portage Bay has Nettles in their menu. Nettles that came with my omelette is a herbaceous perennial plants, an annual plant that is well known as a strong plant with medicinal purpose that is high in nutrients, specifically in vitamin K, calcium, and iron.

So the next time you're in the mood to have a delicious and nutritious breakfast, come to Portage Bay Cafe, located at two locations: University District and Salt Lake Union.

More about their philosophy: Eat like you give a damn! and their menus.

Happy exploring, Seattleites!...
