I've lived on Capitol Hill now for just over two years and I've been to B&O probably no less than a dozen times or more. The short of it is that the desserts are great, the food is merely good and the service moves like they're in slow motion. Set aside at least an hour for dinner or breakfast and half an hour for dessert. If you're in the area and looking for good food you'll want to check out Julia's or Broadway Grill, which are both nearby and offer excellent service. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to offer up that serves better desserts. Obviously, as far as coffee/espresso goes you can find better just about anywhere in Seattle.
Pros: desserts
Cons: slow/bad service
