on Citysearch Jun 27, 2009I was not impressed with the food, however, I will go again and try another dish and really hope that it is good. The Breakdown: *Sweet roll- Do not, I repeat do not eat the sweet roll before you eat your breakfast. My... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2009This used to be a wonderful place, crisp fries that were worth going out of your way for, tasty sandwiches (bread is still good) and good service. Now, the fries are consistently soggy with grease, the food is so-so,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2007The Malby Cafe is a decent little drive (about 20 min) from north Seattle that I made on a recommendation from a friend. Clearly many many people enjoy this establishment on a Sunday afternoon. Our wait to be seated was... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006Whenever i have guests visiting from out of town, i have to take them to Maltby's for breakfast. The wait is usually about 30-45 minutes in a crowded waiting area, but it's worth it. You can also run across to the shops... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 05, 2006Great omelets, homemade toast, giant cinnamon rolls, ...the entire menu is fantastic! Breakfast or lunch is well worth the wait! Nice variety to choose from. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 26, 2006This place has the BEST breakfast I have ever had. It's a busy place because everybody knows it's good, but it's definitely worth the wait. I would go there more often, but it is a bit of a drive from Seattle.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 21, 2006I'm not sure why this place gets so many accolades--I made the trip out to Snohomish and it was totally like any other diner in Seattle, only a little more greasy (and not in that delicious greasy spoon way). The... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2006Ok... I read the last couple of negative reviews and just had to put my review on our visit to the Maltby Cafe.------------ This place is great for Country Breakfast. If you are looking for a snazy, Seattle upscale,... (more)

on Citysearch May 30, 2006<b>The Scene</b><br>Situated below a 1930s-era gymnasium in what used to be a school cafeteria built in 1911, the Maltby Cafe dishes up massive old-style country breakfasts and equally satisfying lunches. While... (more)

on Judys Book May 07, 2006If you're never been to the Maltby Cafe for breakfast - you're missing out! This place is a gem - and it's discovered, so the wait can be long - but trust me, it's worth it. You get a great, hearty country breakfast in a... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 09, 2006This restaurant has been voted the Best Breakfast in Western Washington. I agree completely! This gem is in the tiny town of Maltby just outside Snohomish. There is always a wait here, but I guarantee the breakfast is... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 01, 2006If you're hungry and looking for some great food, you've got to visit the Maltby Cafe. HUGE breakfasts and good old fashioned cooking. It's one of those local legends that truly lives up to its name. Super busy on... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 18, 2006This is the best breakfast place ever! The portions are absolutely huge--no enormous! If you eat breakfast here, you won't want to eat for the rest of day. Great food, homestyle cookin'. Small, quaint, non-showy... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 14, 2006Not only is this our favorite place for breakfast, we take all our out of town guests there to fill their bellies so they are ready to see the sites of Puget Sound. They are always willing to modify a menu item to satisfy my... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2006My parents bring me here almost every time I visit them in Redmond, WA. This place has delicious, huge breakfasts. I can recommend most of the egg dishes and their cinamon rolls (also huge) are very tasty. It gets... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 07, 2006The review is misleading, that's for sure. I expected this place to be yummy and chummy - it was neither. The food was VERY plentiful but greasy and tasteless. I agree that plentiful is not the same as "good". If you have... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2006I had breakfast there and, while the food I had was OK, it certainly not what the reviews would lead you to believe. I am willing to wait for a good meal, but the worst part of the wait is that the waiting area, such as it is,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2005If you want a great breakfast, you better wake up at 6 am and get yourself to Maltby. People come from all around to eat here, and the lines attest to that. If you arrive right when they open you can get a table, but... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 30, 2005The Maltby Cafe is my favorite breakfast place by far. The cafe is located in the basement of a former schoolhouse in the small town of Maltby. The atmosphere has a comfortable, old-fashioned feel to it. They have a... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 16, 2005There is not enough room to write about the Maltby Cafe. They have home made cinnimon rolls the size of texas, fresh squeezed OJ, Bread Made Daily and a lovely atmosphere. They have amazing service and fabulous... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 20049.7 was the Maltby Cafe's rating when I first looked. I can't even begin to imagine how they came in at less than 10! This cafe has to be one of the best kept secrets in the Pacific Northwest. Have to leave now...I'm... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 18, 2004Delicious breakfasts! The eggs are perfectly prepared, fluffy and moist (even on over-hard eggs!) and the scrambles are chock full of tasty ingredients. The potatoes are tender, brown & crispy on the bottom, the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 05, 2004This is a great spot for breakfast especially during the week. If you plan to go on the weekend, go early or plan for a long wait. Similar to Brown Bag Cafe in Redmond and Alexa's in Bothell.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 25, 2004I enjoy good food, and always a treat to visit the Maltby Cafe. Large portions, good service with a smile and friendly people. Always a wait but always with the wait. Wish breakgfast was served all day during the week... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 10, 2003These guys serve up fine breakfasts, and lots of it. The portions are nice and hefty. Give their 3 cheese omlette a try, or their famous scale-tipping cinnamon rolls, drowning in an amaretto-tinged icing. You'll... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 04, 2003This has always been and continues to be, a very popular eating establishment. Unfortunately it is sometimes too popular and due to the "no reservation" policy unless you have a partyof 8 or more, it is hard to take... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2003Best Seattle breakfast, hands-down! The portions are huge, so come with an appetitie. If you like pancakes and a variety of egg dishes with potatoes, this is the place for you! (more)
