Tilikum Place Cafe

The food was great at a reasonable price, the Dutch babies were the highlight. Service felt busy and rushed and we almost felt like we had to rush out for others to get a table. But otherwise we enjoyed the place and would probably come back on a regular day.

It's a pretty rare thing to see a Dutch Baby on a menu - so when you see a place that pretty much specializes in them, you need to get one. So that's what I did coming over here. They're pretty much fully booked on weekends, so I would recommend only coming on a Thursday or Friday when they serve brunch I got the classic dutch baby, with a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was weirdly bad? It came out lukewarm, which is just odd. I've never had a hot chocolate come out anything but piping hot before. It also just tasted pretty flat. not sure what was up with that I will say that the dutch baby made up for it though. This was really good. The cast iron pan was not large - about 5 inches across, but the crust overflowed the side on all directions, appearing like a blooming flower of dough. Every part of this was great. The outer crust had a perfectly crispy when touching but soft when yielding-type texture, kind of similar to the best croissants but without the flakiness. The inside was so soft, so custardy, so eggy, it was just phenomenal. It reminded me a little bit of French toast but like only the inside if that makes sense. The crust at the bottom also managed to be hard without being burnt. The lemon, powdered sugar, and maple syrup combined to make this taste so good The price of an individual dutch baby is actually pretty reasonable. It's not very big at 5 inches across roughly, but only being $15 (menu price) is relatively cheap. It does take a while to come out though - mine took over 30 minutes Overall, no other brunch place does this unique dish quite like here, which makes it absolutely worth a visit. 8.25/10

Small, intimate cafe. It is small so recommend reservations, especially for Brunch. They do have a small bar that you can sit at but it is first come and must be 21. Really recommend planning ahead and making reservations. With all that said, definitely worth it! The service is top notch and the food is delicious!! You will want to get a Dutch baby and they take 30 min. So get that order in right way. We got a sweet and a savory for the table to share. We got the baked eggs, biscuits and chicken sausage gravy, omelet, and Tilikum Fry up. Menus vary so your options may be different but pretty sure they are all delicious! The service is friendly, helpful, and on top of it!! We never lacked for anything, and had great recommendations! Atmosphere is cozy, with a European feel. Large window so feels a little bigger than it is.

Supreme customer service, delicious dishes, great view of the space needle, clean and comfy vibe, gendered bathrooms. Arrived at 1:00pm on a Friday with a group of 3. They had some cancellations and we were sat within 2 minutes of walking in. Our server let us know the Dutch babies are delicious but take 25-35 minutes. We ordered eggs Benedict, scrabbled eggs, and French onion soup to enjoy while we waited (which took less than 10 minutes). Dutch babies took maybe 25 minutes. Everything was really delicious and service was top notch👌🏽

Delicious Dutch baby pancakes, totally worth the hype! The ambience is nice and cozy and the window seat gets a good view of the space needle. The staff is warm and friendly and the coffee and side dishes are a must try!
