CID Block Party

There’s no place quite like the CID ❤️ While we’re incredibly proud to hold this record, we’re even prouder of the community that makes this neighborhood shine every single day.

This is where Seattle comes to eat, gather, and connect. We’re just steps from the stadiums, so come discover why CID is Seattle’s best-kept secret 🥢✨

Seattle, we did it! Officially the home of the World’s Largest Dim Sum Meal 🥟🏆

But this is more than just a record, it’s our neighborhood. From iconic dim sum spots to the best late-night dives, the CID is the ultimate go-to for food and good vibes. Steps away from Pioneer Square and the stadium, it’s time to kick it in the CID🫰

What happens when Southern soul meets Seoul’s boldest flavors? You get the magic of 🍖

Chef Freddy has a signature flair for the unexpected, turning dinner into a bridge between culinary traditions. We’re talking gochujang ribs so tender they practically melt, perfectly balanced by the savory kick of his signature kimchi mac n’ cheese. It’s the kind of soul food that feeds your heart and your curiosity.

Massive shoutout to Freddy and the team for the incredible vibes and even better food!

Inspired by Vietnamese roots and perfected right here in Seattle, treats every drink like a love letter to fusion 🍵

Take their Banana Pudding Matcha Latte: a mind-bending blend of creamy nostalgia and earthy premium matcha. It’s a beautifully layered contrast, pairing a velvety banana essence with the grassy kick of green tea for a perfectly balanced, not-too-sweet treat.

A massive thank you to the team for bringing your unique magic to our CID Summer Kickoff!

In Thailand, the best memories weren’t just made at home, they were found at the local street stall the moment the school bell rang 🍨 For , every cup of their signature fried ice cream is a love letter to that childhood magic. It’s a beautifully dizzying contrast: that warm, mind-bending crunch shattering into a cloud of cool, dreamy cream.

We’re still thinking about it weeks later, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have had them bring that joy to this year’s CID Summer Kickoff.

Thank you to Paul and the team for making the celebration even sweeter!
