Rest of the food: Good

Coffee: OK

Location: Enumclaw, WA

Service: Good

Corned Beef Price: ~$11.00

Coffee Price: ~$2.00

Other notables: Prior to the meal, they brought a large, very good blueberry muffin.

They were very fast to take the order and bring the food.

Huge portion/get the half order!


My expectations were low when I walked into this restaurant. I expected the typical greasy spoon fare with half heartedly prepared corned beef from a can but was pleasantly surprised when, after ordering, there was a house made blueberry muffin delivered. Before finishing my first cup of average but adequate coffee and the excellent muffin, a large mound of house made corned beef has was delivered.

Countryside Cafe

Corned Beef Hash: House made?

Rest of the food: Good

Coffee: OK

Location: Renton Highlands

Service: Good

Corned beef Price: $9.95

Coffee Price: $2.29

Other notables: The corned beef has the look and texture of canned but is not nearly as salty. Actually, there’s not much taste to it at all.


While the corned beef is lacking, I do highly recommend this place as the staff is very friendly and the food is good. Typical diner food at a decent price so if your looking for a standard breakfast, you can’t go wrong.

First and Union Kitchen Snohomish

Corned Beef Hash: House made

Rest of the food: Good

Coffee: OK

Location: Downtown Snohomish

Service: Good

Corned beef Price: $6.00

Coffee Price: $3.25

Other notables: The attached bakery has very good pastries (tried the lemon scone and Jewish rye bread)


Breakfast is only served Friday through Sunday and opening at 8:00 AM. The bakery is open every day at 8:00 AM but has a limited menu.

The hash itself I hearty. The Potatoes are sliced au gratin style, bell peppers and onions julienned and the corned beef is large, 1″ chunks. Good but not unique, I would order it again.

The restaurant itself looks to be on the upscale side for diner but is priced very good for breakfast.

Black Diamond Bakery

Corned Beef Hash: Canned

Rest of the food: Good

Coffee: Good

Location: Downtown Black Diamond, WA

Service: Great!

Corned Beef Price: $9.99

Coffee Price: $2.59

Other notables: Every breakfast comes with a canned peach half and a mini blueberry muffin.


While the hash looks and tastes to be from a can, all the other food seems to be fresh and home made. A good selection of baked goods and a very pleasant and attentive staff. The restaurant is open and bright but it feels familiar and homelike.

During the week, you’re likely to get a seat right away but if you are visiting on the weekend, be prepared for a long wait.

Highly recommend visiting if for nothing else but a nice drive and a good pastry.
