Other Coast Cafe - Ballard: Reviews & Ratings
best sandwiches in seattle for real. and the owner is a gem-one time she came into a store i was working at to purchase wool socks for her employees. super cool!!!!!
Cute little hole in the wall in Ballard. Came here for lunch, and ordered the half hot sandwich and a chop salad - the total came to $24 with tip which seemed reasonable for food prices nowadays. There's limited seating inside, and a decent amount of seats outside that are covered. The place was pretty busy at 1 PM so it took about 20 minutes to get our food. I will be back to try other items on their menu.
Food is so great! Get the baguette as the bread choice and side dill pickle! Rajun Cajun, & Wizard for hot sandwiches. Turkey for cold, such a good amount of food too.
Tasty Sammy - Pricy Sammy - Worth it Sammy Was scrolling through social media when this joint popped up on advertisement, I'm a sucker for a good sandwich and I was NOT disappointed. Came on a Tuesday for lunch, only had a ten minute wait. I ordered the rajun cajun and am stoked to try the "it's our version of a Reuben" next time. Overall a pretty tasty sammy, the meat was good quality, the toasted baguette was the perfect texture, and there was just the right amount of veggies. The rajun cajun wasn't horridly spicy, but those weary of spice I don't think this is a sammy for you. My only complaint is that it's not the place to dine in when busy, unless you can snag a seat and $15.00 for a sandwich only with no sides included. Heard it gets busy on weekends, Ballard doesn't offer a lot of parking so maybe order ahead or plan accordingly. Worth a try! Is it Seattle best sandwich? No, but does it put up a good fight? Sure does
My brothers rave about the Rajun Cajun sandwich and I finally tried it on my latest trip. We went during their happy hour which is where the Rajun sandwich is half off but only between 3-3:30 for in person orders. My boyfriend went ahead while I parked and we made it right as he ordered because you have to be present as it's only 1 per person. The sandwich was good but a bit spicy for me. I would come back and try another sandwich. But my brothers and boyfriend really like it.
Rajun Cajun is elite! They pack in the meat and the spicy salsa mayo is delicious. The bread is perfectly crispy, fresh, yet soft. Overall great place to get a delicious sandwich!
Followed my nose and found my hungry ass ordering a Rajun Cajun sandwich that I devoured in under 10 min. As soon as I opened the packaging, my mouth watered at the sight. There was a nice cheese pull as you pulled apart the two halves. Bread was crunchy, everything was hot and steamy, turkey and chicken were so juicy, and it's got a good kick! Didn't have time to take a pic of the food because your girl was HANGRY (sns). Really wanted the potato salad but they sold out! So I gotta get my hands on it next time.
