  There are mornings when I have to have my donut & drip coffee, and there IS NOT a better place than Mel's Market! They offer a coffee & donut combo special which is relatively cheap (currently $3.02 after tax), for a decent tasting coffee and quality donut. It used to be just under $3 but recently increased by 6 cents. I know, it's not gonna break the bank, but darn you inflation, you're starting to become a pain in my arse!!! I'm pretty certain their donut supplier is Top Pot Doughnuts -- it tastes like Top Pot. The choices are very limited but this morning they carried my ultimate favorite, Bavarian Creme! They didn't carry it before, this is the first time. I've always opted for the maple bar, which is my second favorite and Alan, my friend would always get the apple fritter. Yay, it makes me sooooo elated !!! I'm floating on the clouds right now :). Oh the coffee, I almost forgot about the coffee. They use Boyd's Coffee, which is founded in Portland, Oregon. It's a darker roast, has a bold taste with a hint of bitterness. It will definitely wake you up! It also pairs really well with the donut of your choosing. This place is essentially a 'mini market' with a strong focus on 'made to order' and 'create your own' breakfast & lunch (breakfast & lunch sandwiches, bacon, sausage, eggs, bagels, sandwiches and soups), menu items. They also offer select snacks, juices, sodas, prepared fruits, yogurt and other dairy items. In a sense it's a one-stop-shop when it comes to the things I've listed above. I had their burgers & fries before...it's good, not the best. However, it doesn't look like they serve it anymore. It's probably for the better so they can concentrate on the more popular and customer preferred food and products. I've also had their premade breakfast sandwiches and it wasn't very appetizing. It was dry and not very fresh. But, it looks like they've made some great upgrades since then, and now offers 'made to order' and 'create your own', and 'gluten free' orders. LOVE the upgrades! Excellent! It's popular, and gets especially busy during lunch time. The seating area (the ground floor of the Safeco Plaza Building), right next to it gets filled quickly as well. If you have any mail to drop off or quick post office errand to run, you're in luck! There's a small one on the northeast corner.

  Super tasty, quick, loyalty rewards, and reasonably priced (especially for DT Seattle). I would post a photo but i already ate it!

  I wish I'd have stopped in for breakfast, I wound up getting a sandwich there at lunch. It was pretty good, and I like to choices of spreads you can get but otherwise it's a pretty basic sandwich, not anything grilled or with fresh bread or anything. It cost about 10$ for a pretty basic sandwich, that's a little steep. Edit: returned recently for the chicken salad sandwich to see if it was any better. My friend got the egg salad. They were both incredibly bland. Changed the score. NOT worth the price
