Nestled beside the Chihuly Glass Garden and Space Needle, this light, art-filled café pairs museum-worthy decor with reliably good coffee, creative plating and standout small plates (cheese curds, clam chowder, Beecher’s burger, beignets) and surprisingly smoky pizza. Service is generally friendly and knowledgeable, with a sunny patio and playful table displays ideal for lunch, casual dates or working solo. Expect occasional menu inaccuracies, inconsistent portion sizes and prices that can feel steep, but many diners return for the atmosphere and memorable flavors.
Casual, upscale place to have lunch. Right next to the Chihuly Glass Garden and next to the Space Needle. The Crabby Beni was fantastic. The serving size was large, could have split with another person. So many different collections to look at. Our table had a recessed are with miniature bottles in it.
EXCELLENT food and service! The best cheese curds ever as an appetizer with micro cilantro (who knew that existed) followed by delicious clam chowder! Will. Be. Back!!!
Must Go. OK--so even if you don 't go to see the Chihuly Museum (which would be a big mistake if you 've never seen it) this is still a great place to go for a delicious meal in a lovely and light environment with incredible service. It was what in the past we would call an unseasonable February Sunday and we arrived at noon for a light lunch after seeing the Chihuly. Collections, named after Dale Chihuly 's life-long penchant for collecting a variety of objects, lives up to its name upon arrival. One cannot miss the assortment of accordions hanging from the ceiling and wonder what other collections might await. We were greeted by a lovely young hostess who had a springlike Donna Reed dress and demure. Our table, which had a glass top covering a collection of glass juicers beneath, was only one of the many various 'Chihuly collections ' which are encased under each table. We began our meal by sharing some wonderful beignets with a choice of two dips: bananas foster and vanilla ganache, complemented by blueberries and strawberries. I had a perfectly prepared Caesar salad and red pepper soup--both outstanding. As for service, it couldn 't be better and Erica was as gracious, welcoming, and prompt as I could wish for. While my future visits won 't always include the Chihuly I will seek out opportunities to eat here often.
Collections Cafe (or The Bar, there’s been a renaming of the cafe that is still confusing) next to the Chihuly Glass Museum and Garden serves good food in a fun, lovely, and quiet atmosphere. Tables and decor feature various rotating collections from Dale Chihuly, the famous glass artist. We enjoyed lunch on a Thursday so, it was not crowded. We had the beef sliders and the french fries with garlic, truffle oil and parmesan cheese. Very delicious. Free street parking is hard to find in that area but you can get garage parking. Bus stops are located near the museum and cafe. NOTE: You cannot enter the cafe from the museum. You must enter through a separate entrance that’s on the other side of the building.

Very surprised that no one else has noticed this, but this place has a major RAT infestation. While sitting in this restaurant having a drink, I looked out the window and noticed DOZENS of large rats. Then, I watched their behavior and they were going from the kitchen of this restaurant to the outside. It’s abysmal that a restaurant serving a $50+ ribeye would have this issue! Stay far away.
