The Burrow Menu
The Burrow at 17171 Bothell Way NE Suite A015, Lake Forest Park, is a cozy daytime café built around specialty coffee, creative breakfast dishes, biscuit sandwiches, toast, weekend brunch specials, pastries, and tea. Drinks range from espresso, cortado, latte, mocha, pour-over, and cold brew to matcha, artisan teas, lemonade, ginger beer, hot chocolate, and seasonal signature creations. Popular choices include Biscuits & Gravy, The Classic Egg & Cheese Sandwich, Fox Madame, Avocado Toast, Shakshuka, and the Pear Bostock Egg & Cheese Sandwich.
Current food prices generally run from about $6-$13, while most coffee and non-coffee drinks cost roughly $3.50-$6, making The Burrow approachable for a quality café breakfast or brunch. Buttermilk biscuits, freshly cooked eggs, avocado, flavourful gravy, carefully brewed coffee, and thoughtfully selected teas create a pleasing balance of buttery, creamy, savoury, fresh, and aromatic flavours.
Vegetarian options are available, including a mushroom-leek version of Biscuits & Gravy, avocado dishes, and selected breakfast items. Alternative milks are offered, but a dedicated gluten-free menu is not clearly advertised, so allergies should be confirmed directly. Hot chocolate, juice, and simple breakfast sandwiches make the café family-friendly. With daytime hours, The Burrow is best suited to breakfast, brunch, light lunch, coffee breaks, studying, casual meetings, and small group gatherings rather than dinner.
Menu Highlights
Biscuits & Gravy – $10
Toasted buttermilk biscuits are covered in rich, savoury gravy for a warm and comforting breakfast. A vegetarian mushroom-leek gravy option adds earthy flavour while keeping the dish meat-free.
The Classic Egg & Cheese Sandwich – $9
Fresh egg and melted cheese are tucked into a soft, buttery biscuit for a simple but satisfying combination. Its warm, savoury character makes it an easy everyday breakfast favourite.
Shakshuka – $13
This weekend special features eggs cooked in a rich, seasoned tomato-based preparation. The contrast of tender eggs and bright, savoury sauce makes it one of the café’s more distinctive brunch dishes.
Avocado Toast – $8
Creamy avocado is served over toasted bread for a fresh, lighter breakfast choice. Crisp toast and smooth avocado provide a satisfying contrast without feeling overly heavy.
Biscuit & Jam – $6
A warm buttermilk biscuit is paired with sweet jam for a simple mix of buttery richness and fruity brightness. It works equally well as a light breakfast or companion to coffee.
Pear Bostock Egg & Cheese Sandwich
This customer favourite combines breakfast-style egg and cheese with The Burrow’s creative café approach. Its sweet-and-savoury character helps it stand apart from a standard breakfast sandwich.
Fennec Sunrise
Espresso is paired with lemon, turmeric, cayenne, and milk in one of The Burrow’s most unusual signature drinks. Bright citrus and gentle spice give the coffee a lively finish without overwhelming its roasted flavour.
