Brief Encounter Cafe (seattle foodster)
September 20th, 2009
I’ve heard people complain that Bellevue is too quiet. Perhaps they haven’t hung out at Lincoln Square around 7 pm. Or perhaps they haven’t eaten at the Brief Encounter Cafe. You won’t notice it after you exit 520 from Seattle and head down Bellevue Way, but you will notice the QFC and gas station in the strip mall on your left as you head south towards Bellevue Square. Tucked away behind the gas station is a tasty Bellevue secret.
It’s hard to tell who’s a server and who’s a customer; although it does seem that more customers wear sweatshirts, sandals and pajama bottoms than the staff here.
Remember to sign the book when you enter or else you’ll never get called, but once you do, your waitress will appear super quick at your table with fresh, hot coffee and ready to take your breakfast or lunch order.
