Salt & Sugar Café & Bakery isn’t just a café to us—it’s our family story, shared one plate and one cup at a time. We’re a Lebanese family rooted right here in Ballard, Seattle, and food has always been how we express love, memory, and belonging.

 

As a family-owned café in Seattle, we’ve built Salt & Sugar to feel welcoming, warm, and personal—like walking into someone’s home rather than just another coffee shop.

 

 

Authentic Lebanese Flavors in Seattle

 

Alongside our handcrafted baked goods, fresh waffles, breakfast sandwiches, and specialty coffee, we proudly prepare authentic Lebanese breakfast and lunch dishes you won’t easily find elsewhere in Seattle.

 

These are not trend-driven recipes. They are traditional Lebanese plates shaped by home kitchens and generations of memory—made with simplicity, intention, and deep respect for ingredients. Whether you’re discovering Lebanese flavors for the first time or returning to tastes you grew up with, our menu reflects who we are and where we come from.

 

 

From the Mountains of Lebanon to Our Café in Ballard

 

We also own Green Mountain Harvest, our family brand through which we bring extra-virgin olive oil, zaatar, sumac, and other Lebanese staples directly from the mountains of Lebanon—where our roots still live.

 

These fresh, clean ingredients aren’t just sold on our shelves; they’re used daily in our food, the way they were always meant to be used. From our Lebanese dishes to our baked goods, quality begins at the source.

 

 

Homemade Comfort Food and Specialty Coffee, Made Daily

 

Every morning, our café comes alive as we bake, cook, and prepare everything with care. From homemade comfort food and fresh waffles to breakfast sandwiches and small-batch baked goods, we focus on food that feels real and satisfying.

 

Our specialty coffee is brewed with the same attention to detail—crafted to pair beautifully with both sweet and savory dishes, whether you’re stopping in for a quick cup or settling in for a full meal.

 

 

A Welcoming Café for Studying, Gathering, and Slowing Down

 

Salt & Sugar is more than a place to eat—it’s a place to gather. Many of our guests come to study, meet friends, work remotely, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with coffee in Ballard.

 

Whether you’re sharing a Lebanese lunch, enjoying fresh waffles, or sitting with a warm cup in hand, our space is meant to feel like home.

 

You’re always welcome at our table—come as you are, stay as long as you like, and enjoy food made with heart in the heart of Ballard, Seattle.
