Catalyst Café

Everett, WA

Welcome to Catalyst Cafe, a bright teal corner on Hewitt Avenue in the heart of downtown Everett. We are a proudly queer-owned coffee shop built to be more than a place to grab a drink. From the day we opened our doors, our mission has been simple: create a sober, family-friendly community space where LGBTQ+ folx, QTBIPOC, and our allies all feel genuinely at home. Order at the counter and settle in. Our baristas pour freshly brewed coffee, espresso classics, matcha lattes, and house italian sodas topped with whipped cream. If you are hungry, we serve breakfast sandwiches and a rotating case of pastries, including cookies and treats from local favorite South Fork Baking Co right here in Everett. We keep vegan and gluten-free options on hand, because everyone deserves something good to eat. Look around and you will see who we are. Local art lines the walls, origami cranes hang near the restroom, and a trans pride flag greets you as part of the furniture, not a seasonal decoration. Shelves of books invite you to stay a while, whether you are catching up with a friend, working through an afternoon, or meeting the neighborhood for the first time. Catalyst is also a gathering place after the coffee cools. We host local performances, karaoke nights, and game nights that turn the room into a small, welcoming stage for Everett's creative and queer community. It is the kind of spot where regulars know each other's names and newcomers are folded in quickly. We believe a cafe can be a catalyst, a starting point for connection, conversation, and community that reaches past the front door. So pull up a chair, try a matcha or a cortado, grab a cookie, and stay as long as you like. However you identify and whoever you bring with you, there is a seat here for you. Come find us on the corner of Hewitt, look for the turquoise siding and the Catalyst sign, and come say hello. We saved you a spot.

Ezell's Famous Chicken — Lynnwood

Ezell's Famous Chicken — Lynnwood

Everett, WA

Ezell's Famous Chicken is one of the Seattle area's most beloved and enduring food institutions, and its Lynnwood location at 3925 196th Street SW brings that four-decade legacy of fried chicken to Snohomish County. Founded in 1984 by Ezell Stephens, Lewis Rudd, and family who relocated to Seattle from East Texas, the first Ezell's opened across the street from Garfield High School after the founders spent six years overcoming redlining and financial hurdles to make their dream real. What started as a single storefront grew into a homegrown chain built on a simple promise: a difference you can taste. The recipe is what made the name. Every order of chicken is hand-breaded and cooked fresh, available in the signature Original or Spicy styles that regulars swear by. Beyond the classic bone-in pieces, the Lynnwood kitchen turns out crispy tenders, Southern-style sides, and made-from-scratch desserts, all rooted in the same recipe that put Ezell's on the map. It is comfort food done with consistency, the kind of meal that has kept generations of Pacific Northwest families coming back. That map got a lot bigger in 1989, when Oprah Winfrey publicly declared Ezell's her favorite fried chicken on national television and later had it catered to her Chicago birthday celebration. The endorsement turned a neighborhood favorite into a regional legend, and the reputation has only deepened in the decades since. In 2024 the company celebrated its 40th anniversary, a milestone few independent, community-rooted restaurants ever reach. Ezell's has always been more than a restaurant. As co-founder Lewis Rudd put it, just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to raise a business, and that spirit of giving back runs through everything the company does. The Lynnwood location carries that ethos forward, offering a wheelchair accessible entrance and welcoming service for the diverse neighborhoods it serves near Seattle. Whether you are stopping in for a quick lunch, feeding the whole family, or introducing someone to the fried chicken so many locals grew up on, Ezell's Famous Chicken in Lynnwood delivers a genuine taste of Seattle history. Open seven days a week, it remains proof that great food and deep community roots can stand the test of time.

Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant

Everett, WA

Welcome to Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant, a family-run spot in the heart of downtown Everett at 1325 Pacific Ave. We opened our doors to bring the flavors of Mexico's Pacific coast to Snohomish County, and every day we cook the dishes we grew up with, made from scratch and served the way our families always have. Start with warm chips and our house salsa while you settle in, then dig into the plates that keep our regulars coming back. Our molcajete arrives at the table sizzling in a traditional volcanic stone bowl, loaded with grilled meats, cactus, cheese, and roasted peppers. If you are after something lighter, the sirloin salad piles tender steak over crisp greens, and our lunch menu keeps midday visits quick and satisfying. Fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, and sizzling combination platters round out a menu built for sharing. No meal here is complete without a drink from our bar. Our margaritas are a house favorite, and the Jalisco Mule has become a signature pour, served cold and bright alongside a full lineup of tequilas and Mexican beers. Whether you are stopping in for a weekday lunch, gathering the family for dinner, or meeting friends for cocktails, our dining room is set up to make you feel at home. We take pride in generous portions, friendly service, and a lively, colorful atmosphere that reflects the warmth of Mexican hospitality. Our team knows many guests by name, and we love welcoming both longtime neighbors and first-time visitors exploring downtown Everett. You will find us open seven days a week: Monday through Thursday from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, and Sunday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm. That gives you plenty of time to swing by for an early lunch, a late dinner, or a weekend celebration. Reservations are easy, takeout and delivery are available, and our parking makes visiting simple. Whether it is a craving for authentic Mexican food, a cold margarita after work, or a special occasion with the whole family, Mazatlan is ready to serve you. Come see why we are one of Everett's favorite places for Mexican cuisine. We look forward to sharing a meal with you. Call us at (425) 404-3084 to plan your visit.
