This place is great! It has everything you might want- a space in the front for coffee, pastries, and laptops (they also have beer/wine in this space). Then a cafe space with a patio. Then a downstairs section with a bar and game tables. Plus a bookstore!
It’s dog-friendly and buys your used books.
Did a run around Seward Park and found this place by accident!!
Bookstore/cafe/downstairs bar/restaurant/outside seating and do all of those things well? Not possible I said, I was wrong - they do it all and do it brilliantly. Excited to go back, snag a book, a drink, some good food, and kick it out
We went there for brunch, just loved the ambience. It has everything, book store, cafe, bar, and restaurant. Service was very good and the food was simple and good. Loved the experience :)
Having move to Seattle recently, I am happily exploring my new home. Raconteur is a restaurant sharing space with a book store in Columbia City. I came looking for a nice place to enjoy a coffee while writing in the morning. What I found was a great spot to relax, have some great coffee while writin
This is a quaint neighborhood cafe & bookstore in one, both are connected under the same beautiful wooden roof. The staff are friendly and professional...quick services. There's free parking but the lot is small so come at off peak hours. I ordered the Seward Park Breakfast: generous potato, 3 chick
Beautiful, spacious restaurant connected to the bookstore with a downstairs bar to boot. Great BLT and grilled cheese, and a nice kids' menu with crayons.
This is a good coffee house with good coffee and has a gift store where you can buy coffee and other memorabilia.There is a bookstore inside and there is free WIFI so you can carry your laptop. There is a bar downstairs so after a long day of reading you can unwind.
We had a great experience! Don't know what to say...it was a magical and ethereal experience...a spiritual journey through a parallel universe spliced by an hour lecture on quantum physics and drunken telling of the space and time continuum. This server/barista/soul healer served us the other nigh
Good food. Good books. Great staff.
We love the food and atmosphere of Raconteur. Everyone is so nice and it's a very laid back, fun, and tasty place for us to go for Sunday brunch. The cafe and bookstore are also nice additions for a cozy, chill, Sunday afternoon. We love Diane's breakfast and order it every time! Healthy and delicio
We love raconteur. For starters, what they did to the original building. All the exposed wood is beautiful. The service is great, the food is good. My wife loves their bloody Marys. The portions are actually big. It never goes wrong eating there. Plus the bookstore is fantastic!
Nice place with a cool atmosphere. Used to come here more but took a break and went back recently. Food and service are still top notch however portion sizes have gone down. So now the food is a bit expensive for how much you get. The pancakes specifically went from 2 that were plate sized for $8.99
The food was quite good and the service excellent, but there were very few gluten free or vegetarian options on the food menu. That said, the bar was very accommodating and the coffee shop has multiple non dairy milk options. Management is really friendly and the staff was attentive. I just wish the
I've gone here a few times now to do some extra side projects for work on my laptop. Its a hybrid bookstore/cafe/bar/restaurant. Nice change of pace if you want to do some work with a side of burger and beer instead of coffee. Ample parking and is open later than most places. Highly recommend!
