What a gem this place is! It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, but worth a stop for lunch. The outdoor appearance isn’t showy at all - I passed by this place several times in the year that I’ve lived downtown, never noticing it. Now that I’ve tried their teriyaki, I’ll be coming back for sure! It’s so flavorful!
I was originally thinking about going in to get a sandwich for lunch but when I saw they had teriyaki chicken i couldn't say no and when the owner suggested the spicy instead I had to say yes. It was 100%, the right move. The spicy chicken was amazingly tender and juicy and the salad cut the spice just right.
And in the time that I was there 4 or 5 different people came in and the man behind the register knew all of them and guessed their orders correctly before helping them...read full review
Friendly service and very good teriyaki! We had it for breakfast even.

The Third Avenue Cafe is a hidden gem run by a sweet couple, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu features delicious dishes, including the popular spicy teriyaki and chipotle chicken panini. The portions are generous, and the food is flavorful and tender. The cafe serves home-cooked style meals that are cost-effective and a step above fast food, with a focus on umami flavors reminiscent of home. Customers praise the perfectly cooked rice, the nice consistency of the sauce, and the tender, pleasantly charred chicken. The side salad is also described as fresh and crunchy. The owners are known for their kindness, and the simple, sit-down atmosphere is appreciated by customers. This unassuming cafe serves some of the best Seattle-style teriyaki, with the spicy chicken teriyaki being a standout dish, perfectly juicy and charred, accompanied by a sweet mayo glaze. The Third Avenue Cafe is a must-visit spot in downtown Seattle for those craving a taste of home-cooked goodness.
