5 Spot

Best oatmeal in town, perfect for a light meal before work. Cooked with apples, rasins and nuts, with brown sugar and milk on the side.

This place is a true seattle diner/restaurant. The workers are individuals and the crowd ranges from families to groups of friends. Even though it’s on the corner of the road (there’s no parking), it’s really worth it to find parking 1 or 2 blocks away! They have a great breakfast/brunch on Sunday, but it’s really crowded, so you better be ready to wait about 30 minutes. I also went with my co-workers for lunch and there was no wait. The food was delicious and not too greasy.

I lived up the street from it, and it was always a great little restaurant that was our default restaurant…

Always great oatmeal and granola!

every time we are in seattle we try to hit the 5 spot.

Fantastic breakfast menu (the only meal I’ve had here). Wide variety of choices, good specials, some vegetarian choices too. Always crowded but absolutely worth the wait.

In the early 60’s my dad knew the guy who owned the 5 spot, so he would take us there for Shirley Temples with extra cherries…
