This segment of Streetscapes revisits an old friend: Fairfield Avenue in Bellevue. The thoroughfare has endless options for shopping, dining, drinking and, of course, dessert. In this installment, we’re heading back to the hub of Bellevue and visiting spots we missed the last time.

Bellevue Bistro

Bellevue Bistro was serving savory breakfast and brunch years before brunch became the social activity in our society. As a well-established breakfast business, Bellevue Bistro proves that sometimes it’s not about the bottomless mimosas or fancy avocado toast (they have that, too), it’s just about quality food.

Bellevue Bistro is best known for its bakes, which are essentially breakfast hashes served in sizzling hot skillets. All bakes come served over potatoes with two eggs, and there is a huge variety of options. For patrons looking for classic comfort food, the namesake the Bellevue – with goetta, cheese and onion – is the perfect option.

The restaurant also serves a variety of hot browns and benedicts and a full lunch menu.

While the space is small, it feels quaint and cozy. Bellevue Bistro also offers outdoor seating for those wanting a side of sunshine with their breakfast.

Avenue Brew

Not all coffee shops are built the same. Case in point: Avenue Brew. The foundation of Avenue Brew is, of course, coffee, and it’s one of the strongest foundations out there. From creamy lattes to frothy cappuccinos and ice cold frappes, they have it all. With just about every flavor imaginable, the sky’s the limit for your coffee fix. And thanks to coffees of the month, patrons never get tired of the same old drink.

Food options are much more plentiful than typical coffee shop pastry offerings, including an all-day breakfast menu, so even late risers can enjoy pancakes.

Darkness Brewing

For the night owls and beer lovers, Darkness Brewing is an oasis out of this world. As its name implies, Darkness Brewing specializes in dark and experimental beers. It’s a neighborhood brewery, so patrons won’t find Bud or Miller; however, they’ll be treated to unique, eclectic beers that will have them forgetting all about those famous beers.

Ample outdoor seating makes this a must-visit in warmer months, but be sure to check out the interior to see where the brewing happens. Neon lights and astronaut murals bring some light to darkness, along with a little fun. Darkness often hosts live music, trivia and other events to keep guests entertained.

Cork N Crust

Tucked back toward the end of Fairfield Avenue, Cork N Crust is one of the newest eateries to join the already impressive lineup in Bellevue. It marries an upscale bar with a casual pizzeria for a combination that is trendy and homey.

Cork N Crust specializes in gourmet pizza and flatbreads, as well as smoked wings. Pizza and wings are traditional pizza joint staples, but its unique offerings set it apart from the rest. Wings are slow-smoked then fried, making for a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. Gourmet pizzas paired with a glass of wine will transport you to Italy with each bite or sip. The Chardonnay pizza – with garlic-infused olive oil, roasted garlic, roasted mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, provolone and rosemary – makes one feel a bit more sophisticated than eating a traditional pepperoni pizza.

Cork N Crust also offers charcuterie boards and an extensive wine menu. The “experience,” a board and wine-flight pairing, is a great starter to enjoy on the patio this summer.

This newly renovated space offers an intimate atmosphere ideal for a date night, but guests with a mixed-age group or families, fear not. The vibe is welcoming and family-friendly. Cork N Crust also offers a vegetarian and vegan menu, so regardless of diet, everyone can find something delicious.
