Watson's Counter is a restaurant and café focused on serving the Ballard neighborhood and its surrounding community. We’re native Seattleites who want to provide a space for people to come together and build relationships over some damn good coffee and food.

We have a full espresso bar as well as a kitchen focused on classic brunch foods and afternoon bites. We’ve drawn upon our Korean heritage and taste for nostalgic flavors to add a bit of our personality to the offerings. We hope you’ll stop by and get to know us!

PUPPY MEETUP! This Friday at 7:30pm, @peddlerbrewing will graciously be hosting our meetup! Bring your well-behaved pups and we'll provide some treats and exclusive clear vinyl stickers! We'll also have our enamel pins for sale ($9 cash only) so come through and let's have a beer! Who's coming??

Two juicy chicken wings, some Gochujang, toasted seeds, yummy yummy green onions, all on a rosemary Belgian waffle.

According to POTUS Hurricane Dorian is due to hit Seattle in a few hours. Come in, stay safe, have some covfefe.

I am not Watson. This is Watson! Who wants to do a meet up? I'm thinking on a Friday afternoon? Brewery? Thoughts?

We're honored to be listed alongside many amazing restaurants in this month's issue of @seattlemag! But the biggest thank you goes out to all of you who have been so supportive of us through your kind words, online reviews, and social media posts. I'm blessed to have a handful of talented friends who are bringing life into this space because they are not only the hands preparing your food and drinks, but also the spirit and personality of what I dreamt this place to be.

We're only getting started and we are planning some fun things and delicious treats. Stay tuned!

I know we talk up the gochujang wings, but these honey butter wings are pretty gosh darn dang diggity giggity good too. Green onions are optional.

Guess who has two thumbs and regular hours tomorrow... This guy. 👍👍 Yes, I have two left hands.

Did you know our hollandaise is so delish because we make that badboy by hand? No cans or powders. Our health inspector didn't believe us so we had to make it to show her. I think she just wanted to eat it.

The curse of Benito strikes again! We have to do a pretty simple fix, but it means we won't be able to open our kitchen until 9:30am. Sleep in. You earned it.

Tomorrow is #nationalwaffleday but who says you can't throw some Gochujang Chicken wings on top?! #gochujangorgohome am I right @quanciale?
