Cheeky Café
1700 S Jackson St. Seattle, WA 98144
While they’re described as “Asian food with a twist,” that may be selling the Cheeky Café short. They offer everything a comfort food hound could want, and then some. They make nearly everything in-house and offer menus for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Want cookies for breakfast? They’ve got it! You’ll find a varied menu with standard American and Asian items, including mouthwatering meatloaf, mac and cheese, soups, burgers, fried rice, French toast, Spam and eggs, and fry bread, to name a few.

Ha!

Handcrafted food, organic meats, craft cocktails, and a select wine list make Ha! just right no matter what time of day. Their menu ranges from American classics to savory Mexican fare. A few items to check out include mac and cheese, chicken pot pie, fish and chips, crab cakes, scrambles, plus steak and eggs.
