This Mediterranean cafe is a popular lunch spot for Pioneer Square office workers and gallery-goers. Four varieties of grilled sandwiches are offered everyday.

Mediterranean comfort food in Pioneer Square – Hang a right off busy 1st Ave in Pioneer Square to find your way to Cafe Paloma, an oasis of friendly service and simple but satisfying Middle Eastern dining. The walls are hung with a mix of funky sculptures and paintings from local elementary school students. Paninis are among the popular items here, but the soup of the day is often your best bet, with offerings like homemade lamb stew. The meze plates of dips are perfect for sharing over a bittersweet Turkish coffee pick-me-u... read more
A taste of the Mediterranean in Seattle – This Mediterranean eatery, located in the heart of old town Seattle (Pioneer Square), offers a host of sandwich and pita selections accompanied by a short list of classic Greek appetizers. In addition to their freshly prepared food, you’ll also find an extensive wine list and coffee options. It’s perfect for a quick gourmet bite or a family evening. With an ambiance closer your hip grandmother’s dining room, the café is complete with a stage for musical guests and walls adorned with ... read more
Great paninnis and soup, questionable food safety... – I worked here for a while. Don't eat the seafood, especially shell fish, it will be kept and just drowned in sauces to cover up fishy smells of spoilage. Nothing gets thrown out, so if an item you want hasn't sold well, you could be eating it a week old (this is so with many restaurants, but is especially gross in the sometimes mushy dolmas, which are amazing fresh, and the various salads served with the mezze plate). Paninnis go fast, and their preschutto one is delicio... read more
Expensive for what you get. – Thought I would try a different place for lunch, so I tired Cafe Paloma. Wow, what a disappointment! I am pretty easy going and it takes something pretty extreme to get me to post something about a place and guess what...Paloma has stepped up to the plate. I ordered Tabouli salad....it was listed as $6.00 so one would think that you would get a decent amount of salad for that price but that was not the case. I recieved less than a cup of Tabouli salad and a pita for lunch. To top it all off this... read more
The best humus and the last of great Seattle personal cafes – THANK GOD CAFE PALOMA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET THERE? Whats with the separate checks, are you still in high school?May I suggest dividing the total check by the number of persons and all pay equally. Small cafes can't afford the staff to sit at the cash register. Are you afraid to pay for your friends iced tea?
Lunchtime crowds fill up the vibrantly-decorated room of this quaint Turkish spot nestled deep in the heart of Pioneer Square. – In Short Coral-stained walls, Turkish memorabilia and embroidered tablecloths straight from Ankara set the scene at this busy Mediterranean cafe. Come for their bustling lunch service and savor one of their grilled Panini sandwiches or opt for one of their house salads, all topped with syrupy-sweet pomegranate molasses. Lazy afternoons present the perfect opportunity to catch up with an old friend ... read more
Food Always Great and Service Not So Bad – I would not hesitate to recommend Cafe Paloma. I have never felt neglected or that the service was horrible, what I have noticed is the excellent food. Their paninis are great and the salads and pita with hummus are simply delicious. I am a regular customer and a experienced in the restaurant industry. Cafe Paloma is wonderful in my opinion.
In the Mood for Poor Service? – My co-workers and I frequently eat at Cafe Paloma and have always agreed the food is worth the poor service. Today our opinions have drastically changed. The service has always been slow so we asked our server if we could be in/out in 50 minutes which they kindly obliged. We were seated and never received water until our meal came (25 minutes later). When it was time to pay they very distressed that 2 of the 4 wanted to pay using a credit card and he started yelling at us in front of the entir... read more
Try your luck – The food at Cafe Paloma is excellent; a great break from the food in the Pioneer Square area. My only criticism is the service. I fear for Cafe Paloma's future if it isn't improved. On multiple occasions I've gone for lunch and had embarassingly poor service. This was a serious issue when I brought business guests and the waitress informed us "I am not a very good waitress" which turned out to be true. She confused orders, forgot some, and we had to remind her how to wait the tables. This happened with more t... read more
