Hello guys, I’m here again. I can’t believe this winter quarter is ending! Sadly, I had no idea that my third column will turn to be my very last one. Time always runs ahead of our consciousness, doesn’t it? We get a little bit of the sun and ultimately a near fully bloomed beautiful Quad during this unavoidable disgusting dead week. In small wicked and weird part of my brain honestly thinks that someone should announce university area as a war zone during this time. Zombies are walking everywhere. They want to eat your brain, fight it baby. Keep your brain fresh. Study hard and win it. It will pass you by even before you know it. If you ever get tired, just remember you are not in this alone. And in no time, you will be enjoying spring break and perhaps going to celebrate at this little place I am going to walk you to today.
Ready?
Alright, this place I proudly present to you today is called ‘Row House Cafe’. It is a very first brunch I had since I got to Seattle. Located in the South Lake Union area, standing upon modern buildings, there is, literally just like the name, a row house hidden in between. The restaurant looks so different you have to look back twice if you were walking by. It looks like a little farm house where beautiful hipsters or gypsies live in, the perfect way to describe the look is that it is the exact kind of house you would totally, randomly and luckily find if you get lost in a dark forest in fantasy movies. Walking in, you will face the counter full with freshly baked goods. The place appears to be small, yet they manage to have different vibes in each part.
As always guys, I recommend the place with outstanding menu (http://rowhousecafe.com/menu/). I do not compromise on that. Now what is so special about this place is that firstly, they have this sexiest brunch dish made with croissant and brie cheese, 1000 LAYER FRENCH TOAST.
Secondly, the staff is extraordinary nice. Getting inside feeling trapped into a new world gives you a little break from life. Row House Café simply offers you a little escape to reboot your energy, an adventure actually. Lastly, it is so close to the water! After finished my meal, my friend and I decided to walk digesting our food and chilling by the water at Chandler’s cove, where you can take the water wind in your hair and enjoy daydreaming about having your own boat one day. It is within a five-minute walk range from Row House Café.
These two places are extremely close to bus stops and it only takes approximately fifteen minutes from the University District. Since it is so easy to have one perfect day after our exams, why don’t you just text your friends now and plan ahead to check it out?
It has been a big pleasure writing this blog, it gives me an opportunity to have a responsibility and to share my passion. I hope I can help inspire someone in some small ways, I don’t hope much, but I do hope. Enjoy your spring break guys.
Take care,
Jade
