Where would you guys say is the best cheap place for breakfast in the morning?
What are you looking for? There's cheap(ish) diner food at The Hurricane or the 5 Point, but it's not going to be the best thing you ever ate.
For a French classic style, I might head to Le Pichet for their Œufs plats, for $8, and add some coffee or their Pain et beurre.
If you see yourself going up to Capitol Hill, Wandering Goose is small, but has some good breakfast sandwiches / biscuit sandwiches.
There's Serious Biscuit down on Westlake, too, if you're looking for takeaway / carryout.
For an Asian-inspired but not Dim Sum breakfast, Ba Bar on 12th has some interesting options; "upscale" congee and pho for $9. I know you can get cheaper pho around town, but Ba Bar uses slightly better ingredients than your typical pho joint.
I might be a little crazy, but I could also eat a BBQ pork bao from Mee Sum Pastry in Pike Place market early in the morning. I think those come in around $3. Or for that matter, I could pick up something from Piroshky, Pirosky. Their sweet items are good, but an early morning Cheddar and Garlic Roll (if you don't mind smelling of garlic for a while after) or the Beef and Garlic or Smoked Salmon Pate options would be great.
Oh man, now I'm thinking about what I should have for breakfast before heading down there. I might have to splurge a little and get the (not cheap) Lola Breakfast + Made to order doughnuts at Lola.
Maybe try CJ's in Belltown. If you're going tomorrow, they have early bird specials from 7am - 9am. A good, American-style breakfast, a step up from the dive-y 5 point or Hurricane.
I am trying to remember the name of a Thai place that we stumbled into last year that was just amazing. The restaurant was south of Pikes a ways, down near the water (I think off 1st or 2nd). It was a small place with the bar in the back. You go down stairs in the middle of the restaurant and there was a few tables in a small area with a bar on the right side. I MUST find this place again. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
We found it! It was Vietnamese, not Thai and it's called Long Provincial. The food is amazing. Next to Umi, it's probably one of our favorite places to eat in Seattle.
