Late-Night Biscuit Bitch
Friday & Saturday
10pm–2:30am
By day, this tiny cafe serves up perfect americanos, coconut chai lattes, and orange-infused mochas. They’ve also got some killer grilled sandwiches – my favorite is the apple-curry tuna melt with sweet onions and havarti.
But by night, the Bitch comes out to play.
The self-proclaimed Biscuit Bitch, otherwise known as Kim Allen, is in the kitchen at Caffe Leito more times than not when I stop by (which is more than I care to admit), baking up real buttermilk biscuits and sausage or mushroom gravy. It didn’t take long for she and owner Rena Poppell to realize that if biscuits in the morning were popular, biscuits late at night – in the perfect location to catch drunkass Belltown clubbers and bar-hoppers as they stumbled to their cars – would be nothing short of notorious.
On my first late-night Bitch excursion, I was a little giddy after a great live show and more than a few beers. My eyes bulged at the menu.
I seriously considered the Hot Mess (don’t we all, at some point or another), but in the end went with the Gritty Scrambled. Complete drunken ambrosia. This stuff is great for brunch, but there’s something especially satisfying about a buttery biscuit loaded with thick sausage gravy, grits, eggs, cheese, and hot sauce at 1am on a heavy beer buzz.
Pretty sure it’s guaranteed to head off a hangover, too.
