Good place for a sitdown at the Pikes Market, food was very good and fast service. The diner could use some decor too.

We read the reviews and gave this place a try. It was worth it! The food was really good and freshly made. We all enjoyed the experience. No lines, no waiting, simple but good.

Review: The Market Diner at Pike Place
The Market Diner is a no-frills, affordable spot tucked into one of the side buildings at Pike Place Market—easy to miss, but worth knowing about if you’re with kids or just want a simple, fast bite. It hits the basics well: burgers, chicken fingers, fries—all the “major food groups” for children and less adventurous eaters.
They serve breakfast & lunch all day, with some rotating specials like shrimp and chips or a Kobe burger, which offer a little variety beyond the usual diner fare. The food isn’t gourmet, and it doesn’t try to be. This isn’t a high-end dining experience, but it does get the job done if you’re looking to feed a family without blowing your budget or waiting in long lines.
I wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again, especially when traveling with kids or craving something straightforward. Just set your expectations accordingly: it’s casual, it’s fast, and it’s friendly to families who need a break and a burner

The only decent traditional American breakfast in downtown Seattle. The staff is attentive and kind and they make damn good grub! Why does breakfast have to be complicated or gourmet? The folks at the Market Cafe get it....
Delicious eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast! No fluff!
Hard to find...but worth the search and my goto breakfast spot in SEA when I'm on a layover!

Great place to get a quick bite to eat. I recommend to try.
Little spot in the middle of Pike Place market. Underrated clearly, given there was no line when we went there compared to all other restaurants in the area. Affordable prices, with perfectly cooked simple brunch items. We had the BLT & the french dip. Was perfectly made and affordable. The clam chowder was also great. It's a little hidden so they should update their description - it's actually inbetween Pike Plaza and 1st Ave.

Basic egg w/ cheese breakfast sandwiches [bacon, ham, sausage] on an English muffic are $3 and they serve drip coffee. If you're looking for a straight forward pike market menu I'd recommend this place.

Great eggs benedict, recommend if you are down checking out the market.
