The location is amazing, and the portion sizes are huge! I just can’t get over the pricing and it seems really steep to become a regular affair for eggs. The omelettes, scrambled and French toast are all delicious and often the size is so huge that it’s worth sharing or it gets cold just eating by yourself. Drip coffee is from Fonte, I wish they didn’t charge 4 bucks extra for it given the plate price. It’s a good indulgence cafe with lovely patio seating in the summer months.

Ordered the deluxe lox and bagel plate for $28, and two salmon lox bagel halves with some tomatoes and cucumbers. Was ok, ate mcdonalds afterwards cause I was still hungry. Could've made it myself for more food and half the price, but maybe the other items are better.

We do find ourselves coming back here due to the location, atmosphere and great menu. However, it is very expensive even for Bellevue/Seattle. Be ready to spend $80 on breakfast/brunch for 2 people.

Amazing sandwich! I got the Reuben, it's a HUGE sandwich, I could not even finish one half of it. I loved the meat but the bread was not the best.

Reuben had Cole slaw, it’s listed on the menu but just a bad sandwich. Also significantly overpriced for what you get.

A guest of mine had come from out of state. After visiting the authentic downtown area of Bellevue, we decided to stop by this establishment, which I frequently visit, for a cup of coffee. There were still approximately 20 to 30 minutes remaining before closing time. Although they prepared a coffee for us, it appeared that the machine had already been taken out of service for cleaning. They initially told us they would make one shortly, but the coffee we received did not seem to be made from the machine — it felt improvised. I was genuinely embarrassed in front of my guest. I did not expect this from such a reputable and well-regarded establishment that we have always enjoyed visiting.

Fluffiest omelette I’ve ever had. Sort of self-serve for coffee and water seating inside and out. Very cute place.

Very expensive for what you get. $20 for 1 scrambled egg and a bagel…. Very excessive. The scramble wasn’t anything to write home about, and the bagel was ok. Not at all worth the amount charged. Wont be back.
The staff was pleasant and helpful. The sandwich was disappointing. The price implied a better product than what was received. I ordered a tuna melt and greek salad to go. I received a turkey sandwich with 3 meager slices of meat drenched in mayo & mustard. The greek salad was delicious. If I return, I'd definitely order the salad again.

Had the roast beef sandwich. $30.82, for a generous portion of roast beef, lettuce, slice of cheese and mayo. Small dish of potato salad. Lady who served us wasn't friendly. I said thank you she didn't even look at us. For the price of the sandwich we could have got 3 appetizers at the asian cuisine next store !!!!! First time at this place. Will not return

Gilbert’s on Main has become a regular spot for me, thanks to its beautiful atmosphere both indoors and out. The cozy charm extends to its outdoor seating, which would’ve been perfect if the weather had cooperated. Food portions are generous. It’s definitely nice when you’re hungry. One letdown was the coffee; for the price, I expected more than self-service drip. Parking is a bit of a hassle with limited street options nearby, so plan ahead. A pleasant surprise was the shelf of random books available for kids, which helped keep them entertained. Overall, it’s a warm, inviting spot worth returning to despite a few small quirks.
