Caffe Lieto

Check the wait time - there WILL be a line up. Order ahead. You can anticipate 25 minutes to a hour long wait. ‘Cause it’s so damn good!! I had the basic biscuit with gravy and grits and hubby had the Hot Mess. It was delicious! The Hot Mess wasn’t super spicy but the pickled jalapeños were pretty spicy. The creamy goodness of the tasty gravy with the biscuit and grits were amazing. The outdoor seating is very limited but you’ve got a front row seat to do some interesting people watching. This includes watching people parallel park in some very tight spots.

So many people rave about this place, so I had to try it. I'm not from Seattle but came 2 years ago and loved it. Now I'm back visiting with some family and it was the 1st place we went to eat. I'm a big fan of breakfast food, so I was in absolute heaven. I've had their breakfast sandwiches before but I enjoy the Hot Mess a lot more. It's like you're getting a little bit of everything at the same time. The biscuit is soft, the gravy has great flavor, the grits and eggs go really well with it, and the hot link and jalapenos just top it off perfectly. I could eat it everyday honestly. Every visitor that comes to Seattle, needs to try this place at least once.

I'm from Philly and we love our food. Seattle's great and this place rocks. The biscuits are insanely good. Slight crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. It doesn't leave your mouth dry like most places. Great flavors. Love the friendly "attitude" where everything plays off of the name. If you are looking for a delicious quick bite and a place that just makes you smile then cheer yourself up with this place.

Came across this place while exploring Google maps and it was really good! You place your order on your phone after scanning the QR code so it’s super efficient and you receive a message via text when your order is ready. The food was great and the drinks are delicious, this is more of a grab and go place but they do have a bit of outdoor seating if needed.

Great unique concept here. It gets crazy busy though so be prepared that you may have to wait. The upside to waiting though is because the food is super fresh. The only thing I'm not a fan of is having to eat outside, there are tables and chairs but they're a little uncomfortable. All that being said the biscuits here are lush. I also tried the seattle fog drink which was weird but good.

It’s good but I personally don’t get the hype. I think it’s more so the whole atmosphere,name and a tourist thing. The biscuits are good but I wouldn’t wait in line for it. Definitely think it’s something you should try but it wouldn’t be top of my Seattle list for biscuits. The mushroom gravy is really good!! I ordered the veggie and the egg and cheese
