We we’re greeted promptly and quickly seated which is rare these days. Our waiter was Andrew and he also attended to us promptly and was kind from the start.My wife had the Nutella crepes and biscuits with peppered gravy. She rarely will finish her serving but did this time. (I helped with a biscuit) I had the lumberjack omelette with Pelican special potatoes. I’ll say one thing about the food. We’ve been here 6 months and that’s the best meal I’ve had including 3 of...read full review
The food is amazing and the staff is fantastic. They have the best fish and chips I've had in decades and their lemon crepes are decadent and oh so delicious.
Great experience! I called in a pickup order, and it was ready quickly and was easy to pick up. Robert was super helpful to me and so kind when I had a moment of confusion about my gift certificate. Super cute place in an adorable town, and the service is awesome - highly recommend!

The Rusty Pelican Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with good service and fantastic food. The menu features tempting options like crab benedict and Belgian waffles with strawberries. The restaurant is wheelchair-accessible and offers a pleasant window-seat ambiance. Guests praise the fresh, high-quality ingredients used in dishes.
The cafe is a local favorite for breakfast and lunch, with a full breakfast & lunch menu available online. Customers enjoy the delicious breakfast combos, such as eggs and French toast or waffles, along with specialties like coffee cake. Lunch options, like the combo of half a sandwich and a salad, are also praised. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with indoor and street side seating, making it a great place to gather with friends from across northern Seattle.
While service is consistently friendly and attentive, some find the food to be only so-so, describing the menu as huge but the dishes as fairly mediocre. Portions are generous, and the Bloody Mary is highly recommended, pairing well with meals. The cafe can get crowded in the mornings, so arriving early is suggested. Overall, it remains a popular spot for relaxed brunch or lunch in the Wallingford neighborhood, with a cozy, casual-dining atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
