  I will miss their delicious menu. There are a lot of places in West Seattle to get coffee and dessert but there is no other place to get Aunt Pat’s Favorite sandwich.

  That’s good. I thought they took a step down when they expanded and then opened the Fremont store.

  I will miss their delicious lunches!

  I love Capers for lunch. It is a great place to meet friends and it gives you a great excuse to get in some shopping before and/or after. Bummer.

  I am sorry to see their salads and sandwiches go, they were delicious and always a great place to have lunch.

  I will miss Aunt Pat more than anyone can know!

  :( Noooooooooooooooooooo! Their lunches are so good! Where will I go to get my African Peanut Soup? Or Margerette’s Favorite? I wonder if their discontinuing of food service will have any impact on their sales. Their lunch is mainly the only reason I go in there. Oh well.

  I will miss their Tortilla soup. Many great memories of lunching with my PEPS friends with babies in tow, committee meetings over lunch and so much more. Having talked to Lisa (the owner) in the past, their food has been a loss leader and not at all a money maker for them. I will miss it though! I commend them for making the tough decisions though!

  I’ve gone to Capers since their beginning, and will so miss the wonderful lunches, especially the wholesome soups, It is the food that draws me there, and then I find the occasional gift or special item for myself. I think this is a step in the wrong direction for Capers, but certainly wish them the best.

  I’ve never eaten at Capers. I do remember when they were first doing business in the Junction and serving espresso at the back of the store. It was a friendly place with practical household and particularly kitchen items. I bought lots of things there during that period and gifts for other people too. Then they got too “designery” for my taste; and for my dollar.
  I wish them well; the store is a strong presence in the Junction.

  I’m sad to hear that Capers won’t be serving lunch anymore. I think having a place to grab lunch with friends and do a little shopping is what made it unique and gave me a great reason to head to the Junction. I hope they will someday decide to add it back again!

  I’m surprised to hear that Capers will be ending their lunch service. I was never a huge fan, but they certainly have a following.

• Sue May 27, 2008 (1:30 pm)

  To be honest, I never even knew they served food!

  Although I’ve enjoyed Capers lunches over the years, I’ve discovered Blue Willow Catering that now does lunches in their store front, around the corner. If you haven’t tried it yet, do–it’s amazing!

  I love love love Capers! I lived in West Seattle for 6 years and “passed a lot of plastic” decorating my little Cottage home. Whenever I visit (now back in Calif) I visit. I wish they had an online store for those of us that are no longer able to browse with latte in hand. You’ll see me again.

  I simply love Capers! The gift and jewelry selection is one of the best in the entire Seattle area. I also appreciate the fact that I can buy affordable unique gifts there.

  I’m glad to see Capers coninue on in true small business form in a world of mass-market retail.

  They are a true original and I truly LOVED their original store :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
