There are piles of great little restaurants that meet your criteria. Killer Burger is my current favorite burger shop in the world. Little Big Burger is also pretty terrific. Double Dragon makes some great bahn mi. Jade Dragon tea shop has lovely Chinese food and French-style pastries. Whiffies pies. Pine State Biscuits is a great diner.
You can’t throw a stone without hitting a better-than-Starbucks-coffee in the Pacific Northwest. Look for any place that isn’t drive-through, and you can’t go wrong.
