Today's restaurant review for our Bellevue real estate students spotlights a great place for both breakfast and lunch: Sugee’s Box Lunch Co.
Sugee’s (pronounced “Shugee’s”…as in, short for “Sugar”) is located right across the street from our office complex, but it can be a little hard to find. It's a bit tucked away in a parking lot, but don't give up! This hidden gem is worth seeking out. Their box lunches feature delicious hot or cold sandwiches on freshly baked bread, along with a bag of Tim’s Potato Chips, an adorable baby dill pickle, and a truly delicious chocolate chip cookie. Our favorite sandwiches are the Reuben (corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing), the Cubano (chicken, peppers, avocado, jack cheese, and salsa), and the Cowboy Cobb Wrap (grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, roasted corn, beans, and jalapeno ranch dressing)—but their roast turkey, BLT, and vegetarian options are also quite popular. If you’re in the mood for something a little different, Sugee’s also offers a variety of salads, quiches, and pot pies, plus chili and a soup-of-the-day. And you can always order sandwiches a la carte (although we still recommend adding one of those wonderful cookies!)
Some of us here at Rockwell arrive pretty early in the day in order to beat morning traffic, and it’s not unusual to see someone in the office enjoying breakfast from Sugee’s. Their morning menu includes pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and home fries, but our go-to choice is invariably the “Breakfast Sammie”: scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and bacon on toasted sourdough. This is—hands-down—the best breakfast sandwich we’ve ever tried (and we’ve tried a lot)! If you find yourself here early for class one day, go find out for yourself.
Since the majority of Sugee’s business is providing box lunches and catering to corporate clients, their storefront is fairly small. If you find their sit-down tables full, just grab your food to-go and bring it back to our lunchroom here at Rockwell Institute.
Sugee’s is located at 13225 NE 20th St., Bellevue, WA 98005 (behind Fast Signs and Hertz Rentals, just off of 132nd and NE 20th St.—next to Apex Wine Cellars). (Phone: 425.641.9484) You can check out their menu at www.sugeesboxlunch.com.
