Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Open since 1957, Brief Encounter is one of the longest running establishments in Bellevue. It's not a fancy third-wave coffee shop; instead, it's a welcoming diner serving hot coffee and classic American comfort food. The generous breakfasts are served all day long, and customers can choose from menu items like fluffy omelets stuffed with meat and cheese, biscuits and gravy, and decadent apple cinnamon crepes topped with mounds of whipped cream. Salads, soups, and sandwiches are available for lunch, and there are also extensive kids' menus to ensure that everyone in the family will enjoy their meal.

Brief Encounter, 2632 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, Phone: 425-822-8830
