14 Carrot Cafe, Family restaurant in Eastlake, United States
14 Carrot Cafe is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in the Hines Public Market Building on Eastlake Avenue in Seattle. The menu centers on homemade American classics like buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon rolls, vegetable-based pancakes, and sandwiches.
The cafe opened in 1977 and has kept its original interior with vintage furniture and old decorative touches since then. Very little about the look of the space has changed since its earliest years of operation.
The 14 Carrot Cafe draws regulars from the Eastlake neighborhood who stop in for breakfast or lunch most days of the week. The shared tables and relaxed setting make it feel more like a neighbor's kitchen than a typical restaurant.
The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and sits right on Eastlake Avenue, making it easy to spot from the street. Arriving outside the morning rush or just before midday tends to mean a shorter wait for a table.
The menu features dishes like Tahitian French toast made with tahini and carrot cake pancakes topped with cream cheese frosting, nodding to the cafe's name. The name itself is a play on words, linking the number 14 to the word carrot.
