About
Beth's Cafe is a restaurant in Seattle, Washington, United States. Located on Aurora Avenue North in the Green Lake neighborhood, it is known largely for its "greasy spoon" cuisine and large portions. Beth's opened in 1954 and has remained at the same location since, under various owners. It closed in 2021 but reopened in 2023.
A 24-hour establishment, Beth's Cafe is popular among Seattle residents during late-night hours. The walls are covered with crayon drawings made by customers, which are taken down and archived each January to make room for new ones. The restaurant and its "Southwestern Exposure" 12-egg omelette challenge were featured in a 2009 episode of Man v. Food. The cafe had also been noted in Seattle guidebooks by Lonely Planet and Moon Publications among others.
