In-Season Fresh Take-Away & Cafe

Great fresh food and friendly service. Perfect for brunch. Plus it wasn’t that crowded so we got right in.

This is a great place for brunch. The owner is super nice, there is no wait, and the food is good. There is a play area for kids too.
At my most recent brunch visit, I ordered the chilaquiles, my husband had the rabbit and waffles, and my 11mo daughter had a scrambled egg and a waffle. The chips in my chilaquiles were crispy beneath the slightly spicy sauce, the eggs were runny, and the shredded chicken was tender and flavorful. I’d eat that dish again. My husband really liked the fried rabbit and the waffle was thick and hearty.
As for my daughter, I honestly didn’t think that she liked scrambled eggs until she had it here as previous scrambled eggs have been met with indifference. She finished the egg we ordered for her, and we knew she wanted more because she started screaming and sweeping bits of waffle off her plate (suggesting it was not WAFFLE she wanted, but EGG). We ordered another egg for her, eliciting more loud protests when we kept the egg out of reach because it was too hot. When we finally allowed her to touch the egg, she consumed almost all of it with gusto (good thing the dietary guidelines for cholesterol have been lifted).
The next day I prepared a scrambled egg for her at home, and she ate about half of it, leading me to conclude that scrambled eggs are probably not as easy to make for babies as I thought.
IMHO, here are some ways that In-​Season could improve their brunch menu:
1. Offer sides on the menu. They have bacon and other things that you can get as sides, it’s just not clear from the menu.
2. Rabbit is a little intimidating to some people, maybe offer a fried chicken option. (EDIT: My husband would like to add that the rabbit is super good though.)
I honestly like the staff and owner here and the experience is way better than the very crowded Pete’s Egg Nest and Phinney Market. The food here is as least as good as those other places, not expensive, and they really do try very hard. I’d come back.

Was searching online for a practical and well-​rated brunch location in my neighborhood and happened upon this café. Joined friends visiting from Portland there last Sunday and it was a terrific experience. Our three entrees were impeccably prepared and presented — very flavorful and offering just the right amount of food for the right price; the chef/​owner came out to ask specifics about some minor modifications to one dish and reflected perfectly in that dish what he had heard; the coffee was free AND good; and hey, the server was super friendly and of course she would be, because she hails from Minnesota, as do I, and the Minnesota Nice was immediately evident and appreciated. I will definitely return for in-​house and take-​out/​delivered meals in the future. A great discovery for the new year!

Sooo very delicious, a must try in Seattle!!!
The server was super nice and friendly.
The chef was truly ideal. They were out of rabbit for the fried rabbit and waffles dish, so after a moment of brainstorming we all landed on an off-​menu choice of juicy and sooo delicious Chork (a mixture of chicken and pork– kailua styled pork)…picture a juicy fried boneless chicken, except it’s a mixture inside. We really hope they add it to the menu. And, it’s very reasonably priced. Thanks!!!

Refreshing place in an otherwise homogenous community. Be fed like you’re family. Eat in, take out or do both. Whatevers. This place is owned and run by the most fantastic little family. The youngest one is only 14 weeks old! He recommends the brunch on the weekend. There are not a lot of quality brunch places in greenwood. Rabbit and waffles?! Yes. Chilaquiles. Yes! Mimosa, Bellini, Hail Mary, oh my! Fresh quality food and alcohol is available! I love the kale and shave fennel salad. This is for you Seattle kale freaks! I however will choose the carb only sticky pecan bun and I will love every single calorie. Try this place out!

A friend of ours brought us here months and months ago. I was super impressed but forgot to share it. At the time we all had the meatloaf sandwich. Such a basic thing. But it was anything but basic. I think superb would be the word I’d use to describe it.
Fast forward to today.
I had the flank steak, 2 eggs and roasted potato. Steak was perfectly medium rare, eggs were over medium and the potatoes were the best I’ve eaten. Seasoning was on point and delicious.
My husband had the rabbit and waffles. He’s never eaten rabbit. I’ve eaten it twice before. Once in a restaurant in Melbourne, Australia and once home cooked at a friends. They smelled good but tasted pretty awful. Since then I’m a «I don’t eat rabbit» girl. And then Today I tasted my husbands rabbit and waffles. It was bloody fantastic, no other way to describe it. I don’t know how to describe the rabbit. So you’ll just have to go and try it.
I’ll definitely keep rabbit on my menu from now on. But only from here. This is my go to rabbit place :-)

Yummy brunch! Wouldn’t have known they do sit-​down brunch here by the name, but it was delicious! The server and kitchen was extremely nice, and the food very delicious! The coffee was even free when you buy a brunch item! :) We will come back another time for brunch!

Randomly found this great brunch place on Unilocal,despite the confusing name! It is in fact well set-​up as a sit down brunch restaurant.
The kalua pork was delicious! And the wait staff and owner took great care of my girlfriend and I. The excellent coffee was included with price of breakfast too!

This place is wonderful! The rabbit and waffles are delicious. The rabbit is boneless and cooked to perfection. Service is great and their mimosas come with a complimentary refill. New favorite for sure!

The rabbit and waffles was incredible. Perfectly done. They also had take away meals that looked great.
The service was also fantastic.
If going at a popular breakfast time, I would recommend a reservation.
They also do catering!

Very, very tasty place to get breakfast.
Chile quiles are excellent!
Reasonable prices and good service.
Defintely favorite breakfast place in area.

We asked ourselves how did we not know about the fantastic café! We went there for their brunch on the weekend and were so pleased with the food and experience! The owner Andre takes much care in his preparation of meals and is super welcoming and friendly.
We ordered the Omelet which you can choose what you would like from an entire list of ingredients at no extra charge… just one charge $ 11. Yes you read that right! Our omelets came perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor! We had a choice of waffle or potatoes so we tried each of those. We also spilt one of the Pecan Sticky Buns that had just come out of the oven… yumm!
*here are the ingredients you can add in your omelet: diced tomato, mushroom, onion, bell pepper, spinach, kale, bacon, chicken sausage, vegan sausage, ham, turkey, blue cheese, pepper jack, cheddar, Swiss and goat cheese
The menu is simple, but to tell you the truth it is perfect! The food makes you feel good… you can taste the quality of the ingredients. They are known for the Rabbit and waffles, we are going to try that next time.
The restaurant interior is fresh and inspiring with the colors… there is seating in the front and back of the café. Service was great, super polite. The owner came out to check on our meals… you can tell he takes great pride in his culinary art and is invested in knowing his patrons.
We had a superb experience and are so happy to have discovered this café less than a mile from our home! They also have a happy hour and Tuesday thru Friday from 3−6P and lunch menus. In the front of the café they have meals to go that are freshly prepared. Next time I may just need to snag a few of those meals for home!

Gorgeous beet salad boxed up while I waited, perfect lunch for a hot day. Some of the friendliest service I’ve ever received at a Seattle restaurant. In-​Season Fresh Take-​Away & Café, you’ve earned yourself a regular.

Simply incredible. From the service to the food, In Season is my new favorite Seattle brunch spot. The rabbit and waffles was mind-​boggling; a work of culinary artistry. Great coffee and excellent service. Will most certainly be coming back.

Nice sitting area in the back and a couple of tables outside on the back deck. They have a cute play kitchen for kids and the chef made special food items for my picky kid. Fried rabbit and waffles! This place is amazing.

Wow! I haven’t tasted food that is so fresh and high quality… in…well, maybe never for me! I am blown away by how something so simple as scrambled eggs can taste SO good. I’ve never tasted kale, potatoes, sausage, bacon (and more!) the way it tastes here before. The food here makes me taste, feel, and think about the individual ingredients in each dish as well as the tastes in the dish as a whole… it’s crazy how eating here makes me think and feel so differently than I ever have before about food. Just… wow!
I have eaten the kale salad (which I’m obsessed with) and the chicken sausage breakfast bowl. Delicious :) I look forward to trying more when I’m here next… which probably won’t be too long because it’s been hard for me to stay away since I had my first meal here. :)
Also, the owner and chef is so nice and interacts with all the guests on a really relational level. He helps me figure out which dishes can be adjusted for my dietary needs (I’m gluten and dairy intolerant) or which ones naturally are served without these ingredients.
Awesome. Love it here!!! One of my favorite places to eat in Seattle now!

Absolutely delicious! Extremely friendly service. Husband and wife owners greet you and come out to see how each part of your meal is tasting. Food is incredible and creative. Definitely a new go-​to for brunch.

We love supporting local businesses and this is another great one to add to the list! We have ordered both takeaway (breakfast bowls, salads & soup) as well as dining in on the weekend for breakfast. My absolute favorite has to be the poached egg over fried polenta with marinara sauce– wow! Eaten with a fresh warm cinnamon roll and some coffee pretty much makes it my new favorite Seattle breakfast.
The owners are extremely welcoming and friendly and the space they have created (clean, comfortable, open) is a great addition to the Phinney neighborhood. The small kids kitchen area is an extra bonus that provided our 2 year old with plenty of entertainment while we enjoyed that second cinnamon roll.

I’ve been wanting to check this place out since I saw it going in… its long past time for something to move into this location. It actually took awhile because due to my work schedule and their limited hours, but finally made it in for lunch. Everything they sell seems to come prepackaged in little plastic containers that live in a refrigerated case right as you come in the door. Got a meatloaf sandwich to go, which was ok, but suffering a bit from having obviously been in its container for at least a day. The girl at the counter was nice, but service was strictly cashier level (she didn’t actually know anything about the products in the case, but ‘heard they were good’). Nothing really wrong here, but nothing right either… can’t think of a reason I’d go back. A far better sandwich can be had about a mile down the street at Martino’s

First visit was fantastic. We had the flank sinatra sandwich and the chicken salad sandwich and loved both. Really friendly staff, plus they have a small play kitchen for kids. Nice to have a place to get sandwiches in our neighborhood!
