Seattle to Vancouver, Canada By Train: Dining on the Amtrak Cascades Bistro, Amazon Go and 85c Cafe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- After a fantastic stay in Seattle with Lois, it’s time to head back. I can’t think of a better way to travel back than by train! I’ve been looking forward to taking the Amtrak train from Seattle Washington to Vancouver Canada. I heard there was a nice Bistro on the Amtrak Cascades train, but just to play it safe, I’m going to pick up some snacks from Amazon Go and a new Taiwanese Bakery called 85c Bakery Cafe that is just a block away from Amtrak’s King Street Station.
This was a enjoyable 4 hour journey with comfortable seats, courteous attendants, and of course, a dining car with fantastic views. Along with the fantastic clam chowder, I had the opportunity to try out some of the conveniences and tasty meals from Amazon Go along with some indulgent desserts from 85C Bakery Cafe. I also had a chance to try an amazing coffee from cafe; a cold salted coffe that was smooth and creamy.

This is not a train video, this is a food video lmao. I'm hungry now
Thanks Munchy...most videos, no matter what the intention was, tends to turn out to be a food video in the end... :-)
I love your video's because they make me feel like I am enjoying the experience with you. Keep up the great life.
Thank you so much famousstar796! Love being able to connect with this UA-cam community! All the best!

food-and travel--so sublime!!!
Bless you!!
Has always been a pleasure watching your videos. Nice food and home sweet home.
Thanks again yingsing🙂.
We enjoyed this video! We’re hoping to do this journey this Summer. But goodness that was a LOT of food! Yum!
Hi Rachel, it was certainly a nice relaxing trip. But yes, I overdid it with the food, but had a nice nap afterwards :-) hope you get a chance to try the train, not too expensive and quite enjoyable 🙂
Tim Lee thank you Tim!
God bless your belly Tim, that sandwich, those cakes and the chowder looked awesome. Great video, glad you got home safe x
Thanks again Ruth :-) Oh, the belly is certainly growing at this point. :-)
My wife and I are doing this in September, thanks for the info on getting food.
It ALL looks amazingly delicious and I love a train trip!!
Thanks Kim and James!
Glad you can be at the place you love most. Home. God bless you as well! Bonnie
Home in your own bed is one of the best things in life🙂
Good stuff, eating your way Coast to Coast, Boarder to Boarder, maybe one day we all can, again.. thanks for the memories.
Thanks Steve 😃 was really surprised how enjoyable traveling by train was... Really missing it and hope it will resume soon.
I love this video! There's just something so soothing and relaxing about the way you host, thank you so much for taking the time to record this!
Hi Simha, yeah, I can really get used to traveling by train :-) Have you traveled by train before?
@@TimLeeLetsGo Not yet, I hope to do so next year!
Great assortment of good food,take care of yourself!
Thanks again Martha! Much appreciated and thank you so much for reaching out! :-)
I'm a train person too. I grew up in a town that was alive with the D&H Railroad, once upon a time. I take trains whenever possible. Awesome vlog!.
Hey Audrey, I totally get it -- there's something wonderfully different when traveling on a train. Things just feel right :-) I've always wanted to try an overnight train ride, be I really don't get too many chances here as they are prohibitively expensive. I like your style Audrey :-)
@@TimLeeLetsGo Lol....I hope you get your overnight train trip....
Thanks Tim we really enjoyed this video. My wife and I will be on that exact train in 2 weeks time. We are foodies so we really appreciated you taking the time to show us both the on board and pre- purchased yummy options.
Hi Terry, just having some fun here and I certainly overdid it with the food. Really enjoyable ride and the nice thing is the Customs officers actually come to you. You just sit back and have them do all the work 😉. Hope you and your wife have an amazing trip!
Great video- thanks for making it- look forward to making this trip during summer; thanks! Tim.
It was very good ride and quite enjoyable. Hope you get the make it this summer!
Absolutely LOVE your videos. Can't get enough of them. You do such a good and entertaining job, thank you. Please keep them up! :) Cheers!
Thank you so much Steve! Much appreciate your kind comment. being a bit busy lately, but hoping to try out new places shortly :-) thank you again and all the best to you 🙂
oh Tim, thank you! This one really made me smile! I just love Amtrak, but I've never been on the Cascades before so this was a real treat ...., it looks a lot nicer then the other trains I like to ride, hopefully someday I will get to ride on the Cascades.
Hi Goodi2shooz, glad to hear you are a fan of trains as well -- much slower but very nice if you're going on a get-away/vacation.
Thanks for you awesome blog. You inspire me to take the 🚆 down to Seattle ❤️
Thanks Leanne, it was new to me too and I think I've developed a fondness for train travel 🙂
As a Canadian, I love Amtrak and have been to Washington state a number of times. Also went from Canada at Niagara Falls to NY. Loved it when we stopped just the other side in the US and the Sheriff's or Marshalls came on board and checked passports.
I agree Mary! Doesn't if feel great when you Sheriffs/Marshalls/Customs have to wait to see you rather than you having to wait to see them? :-)
Looks like a relaxing trip with good food. I just and ready to eat some more. Lol
Thanks Debbie! Might a over done it a tad with the food though :-)
This is such a nice video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Thanks fearless!
Thank you for the Video.
Dude i didnt know there was a dirext train from seattle to VC!! How cool is that!
Yeah, I'm glad they have this too! Vic, when are you heading to Vancouver or Seattle?
@@TimLeeLetsGo im heading to VC in may or july.. I want to visit the richmond market soon..
@@TheHungryBlackPanda that's a perfect time!
It's a commuter train, stops many times, bus is same travel time and only one stop for customs and immigration. Wonder if he was allowed to bring the steak into Canada?
@@TheHungryBlackPanda how was Vancouver?
I gained 5 pounds just watching your video! The State of Washington contracts with local suppliers for food and drink items.
Hi mjarail, yeah, I might of over did it with the food but certainly had a nice nap. I can definitely see all the items were locally source especially the beers ;-)
Tim.! Thanks for the info! Very informative. ☕️
Thanks Ben, much appreciated. I must say, I'm really enjoying the trains now🙂
Fantastic video, so glad i found your channel.
Thanks so much Dave :-)
Omg it all looks so good!! I am now hungry. I love your videos!!!
Hi Candyce, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out :-) I had way too much food that day as it was after going to be buffet to celebrate a friends birthday :-)
Amazing views from the windows of the running train... Culinary, food tasting impressionism... The victuals painting was interesting.
Thanks for remarks and answer Tim, keep safe you and your family
Thanks for sharing your trip with us Tim! That sammy sure looked awesome... like you. You are a very classy person and an excellent host to us in all your videos. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for another fun and exciting adventure. Thanks again brother 🙂
Mike in Roy, Utah 😎
Thanks again Mike, and hope you're doing well. This was a fun train ride and looking forward to future travel on trains as well. I'm kind of hooked :-) all the best to you!
Love your videos Tim makes me hungry !!!
Thanks for reaching out Herb, might have overdone it with the food sampling, but quite enjoyable 🙂
I would've stayed in the dining area for the whole trip. Its like having a private seat. Don't like it too much when you're sitting next to a stranger(4seater). Privacy is the only way to travel on a train or plane, peace and quiet. Another nice video, good job Tim.
Good call :-) Not too many people take advantage of the dining car. Very relaxing and comfortable there.
This was a fun video. Looked liked a really enjoyable excursion!
Thanks Venus Eats. Always wanted to try riding on a train -- very relaxing!
Dude, so happy that I came across this channel! Amazing stuff, love the food reviews, and great review of the Amtrak. Keep it up!
Hi Schubert, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out, and greatly appreciated. I think traveling by train is becoming one of the favorite modes of transportation :-)
I came here for the travel views and ended up watching food lol good thing tho
Thanks for showing us this! The train looks pretty cool and all that food looks really good; looks like a really fun trip. We would definitely consider doing this when we get a chance to visit.
Hey guys! A warm welcome to you both when you get a chance to visit! By the way, the Disney dim sum looked brilliant -- much too nice to eat :-)
I rode the train from Seattle to Vancouver twice. Very nice ride. 💕 Love the 85 C Bakery in Seattle Chinatown.
The train certainly are not very efficient, but very fun and enjoyable to ride. Yeah, that was the last time I had the 85c items.. they don't have one where I'm from
Hi Tim! I always been to Vancouver either by plane, cruise ships or bus. Never cross the Canadian border on a train or Amtrak before. Will definitely try it a few weeks from now. Hope I get to meet you in person. Currently watch your other videos to decide where to take my sister on a dim sum brunch. Thanks for all the great contents and please continue your great epicurean adventures. Thank you so so much!
Nice video concept; cool and informative experience. Amazon Go is pretty awesome. Thank you!
Thanks again S L for connecting! I always wanted to try the Amazon Go store -- it was surprising smaller than what I imagined. Still very nice.
85°C is fantastic! You’re right about those desserts being less sweet. My husband and I would get a kick when we'd hear a baker come outta the kitchen hollering "FRESH BREAD!" with a tray of warm bread. Don’t know if they still do that anymore. Good video!
Thanks Peggy, that's good to know! I wasn't there long enough to see if that still happens, but would be fun to find out
Nice video, friend. I enjoyed every minute! I wish I can travel by Cascades someday.
Hi Mauricio, it was surprising how nice it is to travel by train. Very relaxing and enjoyable. This was a day trip, but it was so nice, I decided to book another train trip, but this time the journey took a few days...that was even more enjoyable :-) Thank you for taking the time to reach out. All the best!
Always love and wait a new video from you mr Tim.... Success always for you...
Thanks you again Rena! Hope things are well in Indonesia 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo thanks a lot sir.. You must go to Bali is like heaven on earth.. Bali is a beautiful place with friendly people and cultural..
Great video! I´m going to Vancouver next year, and this train (but in the opposite direction - Vancouver to Seattle) seems like a good ideia.
Best regards from Lisbon, Portugal!
An early welcome to you! Traveling by train is quite enjoyable..
Thank You
Greatly appreciated 😃
Nice 😁 video
sandwich, soup, steak, veggies...Hope you left room for dessert. You my friend have a good appetite lol.
never mind...you had dessert for 2
Thanks Winston, I way over did it with the food. Definitely a case where the eyes are larger than the stomach. 😃
Great video. Great ideas. Next time I am in Seattle I will try out your travel tips.
Thanks Christopher, train is a bit slower but quite enjoyable... All the best to you in the New Year :-)
An enjoyable and fun video to watch! Thanks for taking us along for the ride Tim! Something tells me the scenery during the daylight hours has to be pretty spectacular. Oh, and all the food looked tasty too.
Mike, from the not so big city of Roy near the fabulous Wasatch mountains in northern Utah ☺
Thank you again Michael! It was very pleasant indeed. I wasn't sure what to expect with the food situation and actually bought $50 worth of instant noodles; they were certainly not needed. Although we had a late night noodle tasting one night with some of the new friends made on the trip.
Enjoyed your video!
Thank you Diane 🙂
Looked so relaxing. The coffee and bakery items were so enticing. How cool was Amazon Go!
Hey Merrill, I've always wanted to try Amazon Go. Kinda feels like shoplifting 🙂
And just think, next time you travel to Seattle you can pick up Hood Famous cheesecake for the road! I do like taking the train up north though, it's such a relaxing time.
I enjoyed our trip. Thank you for taking me with you!
Thank you so much for reaching out Jo! Greatly appreciated and was just having some fun with the video during this trip. All the best to you!
Now I want some clam chowder
That was certainly some good clam chowder, Katrin🙂
You deserve more subscribers.
Love Seattle by the way.
Thanks Jeep girl! Love Seattle as well -- are you a local there?
No, I'm from so.cal. my husband and I went to Seattle for our honeymoon and I fell in love with it.
The bakery is called 85 degrees. You live in beautiful Vancouver . Seattle is nice. Your steak and sandwich looks good.
We Indians envy the west . Awesome dream food for us .
Food looked good. Desserts looked excellent. Bet the scenery would have been beautiful if it had been daylight. Thanks for sharing.
Hello again Sally, it was quite nice and there's something about train travel that is quite relaxing...the food helped too🙂
Tim Lee I actually have been checking prices on Amtrak from Dallas to San Antonio. I love the thought of being able to watch the different scenery go by. Only thing I’m not sure about an 8 hour trip. lol
wow nice train the food looked great ty for sharing
Thank you again Claire -- riding on a train was something I've always wanted to try, and it was quite enjoyable :-)
Hi Tim, I am a follower from Australia and love your presentations, I will be doing this same trip late 2023 and you have helped me out greatly, doing a week in manila on my way through and your Buffet reviews there have been fantastic, thank you .
That sounds like an amazing trip! You'll find so many places to visit and language would definitely not be a problem. One place you may want to try is a seafood / wet market where they can cook all the seafood you purchase at the local stalls
I know making video's is hard work but this looked so fun. Enjoyed every minute.
Thanks Tim.☺
Hello again Diane :-) I really do enjoy working on this channel and the videos (although editing and fighting with the camera/technology is another story :-)) Truly enjoy this process and this community! :-) Thank you so much for reaching out again!
You did exactly what I do everytime I do trips on Amtrak or on Metra or South Shore Line get some snacks for the trip. For me if I leave home early once I get to Downtown Chicago to the station I always get either McDonald's or Starbucks to wake me up being I'm not particularly a morning person lol.
Hey Brian, totally agree! You get exactly what you like to eat that way :-) I found it quite nice to be able to have a meal on a moving train -- feels very productive in a strange way (since you're traveling at the same time). :-)
Looks delicious
Thanks Christopher...it was a bit too much food in the end ;-) but enjoyable...
👍
Most enjoyable trip and eating video. Good idea buying food in advance. I was interested to see you could take your own food into the dining car, and even have your steak warmed up. Maybe a standard thing, or it could be your usual enthusiasm and charm.
Hi Rich, I might have over done it with the amount of food, but I slept well afterwards :-) I believe they would do this (warm up food) for everyone as long as it's after the big rush at the beginning. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out. :-)
85 degrees bakery has a store in Irvine CA as well. Must be a new chain. A friend brought me a cold coffee and some desserts from there.
It's quite a nice bakery and the cheesy drink topping sounded kind of weird at first but actually tasted really nice. Hope you're keeping well and really miss irvine. Hope you have a great thanksgiving!
I'm Japanese, so international trains are longing existance for me.
I've taken international trains in Europe, but I've not done in the US.
I wanna take this train between Seattle and Vancouver someday.
Thank you for reaching out from Japan! I recently started taking the trains and really loving it. A while ago, I took a trip across North America and it was pretty amazing. I just hope I get a chance to try the trains in Japan and Europe...someday... Thank you again!
Omg… I’m so hungry now 🤣
Funny how a train trip can turn into an eating trip :-)
Wow this whole trip was phenomenal. I have always wanted to ride on a train. I hope I get to do that. I had heard of the Amazon go but I didn't know what it was. That was very interesting. And the soup and sandwich was a very good deal. I make homemade bread I'm going to tell you I even grind my own flour. That was nice looking bread. Thanks so much for the experience! 😁
Thank you again Indigenous Potliquor! Same here!
Always wanted to ride on a train and this was my first "real" train trip (albeit a relatively short one). Gosh, how does one mill their own flour?!?! That's pretty impressive! I tend to stay away from store bought bread but I do savor and enjoy home made breads -- especially with sour dough or just a proper yeast leaven bread it's much tastier. I'm quite lucky as I don't bake, but have many good friends who do :-) Thank you again!
@@TimLeeLetsGo Even though you do not bake. I think with your love of food you would like Joshua Weissman YT channel.
@@indigenouspotliquor3546 Thanks for the recommendation! He has a variety of foods as well! Very nice :-)
Omg I’m getting hungry!
Hey Judith, yeah sorry about that, I think I might have overdid it with the food 😋
The mango pantacotta is also a winner at 85 degree C. Milk tea with pudding topping is also good! I like the mochi moon cake there too…small bite but pretty good.
I take this train often. It's worth it to upgrade to business class. Less seats in the cabin and more room. Only problem is the train departure times are limited
Thanks Timmy! I noticed business class didn't cost too much more than coach. Good tip!
Very nice video Tim 👍 just curious how did you get down to Seattle in the first place ? I wonder how it's like to ride the train in the morning 🤔 bet it's beautiful.. a year ago we had our first 85C location in Houston ..now we have 4 ..try the milk bun next time ..Amazon go seems pretty cool ..I wish we have one in Houston so I can do a review on it lol ..thank you for taking us along Tim 😀
Hi David! I did take the morning train, but that was so early I couldn't really film it -- I did try :-) The Amazon Go store was almost like a little 7-11 but the selections are very good. I tell ya, it was a full day of eating! breakfast on the train, the Buffet with Lois, the Starbucks excursion, a fried chicken break (at Edzel's) and the dinner on the train. Was happily stuffed :-)
Sea salt is really good with dairy stuff together. So far the sea salt flavor ice-cream in Dublin is my favorite.
Hi Andy, that sounds interesting... I wonder if they have something like that in Vancouver
Great video Tim. 👍👍👍👍👍✌
Thanks again for reaching out Gary :-) I could get used to traveling by train...
I'd never heard of a 'flat iron steak' before I saw it on an Amtrak menu yesterday. Must be an American thing
I really enjoy listening to you talking :) You have such a nice voice!
Thank you for your kind comment Elena 🙂. You are one of the very few😉
Nice video! Made me very hungry! Looks like one could experience some weight gain if traveling by train a lot! The travel looked relaxing and enjoyable! Thank you for doing this video!
Thanks so much for reaching out Austen🙂. Oh, I way over did it with the food... But if you have the time, travelling by train is quite the experience 😃
What a great video, Tim. That coffee looks delish... reminds me in appearance of the cheese-topped teas I’ve been getting lately at a variety of Asian dessert shops.
Whoa, what is this, Rick? Cheese topped tea?!? That's a must try🙂
Sort of like a light, airy, and whipped cheesecake flavor.
The best thing about train travel is the train is the destination everything else is a big bonus! Get the mango creme brulee that sounds wonderful!!
Agreed :-) really enjoying traveling by way of train. :-)
Tim Lee
How much was the train fare from Seattle Washington USA going home to Vancouver Canada
estn hi tuyet v ngon thank
Looks like whole Food store food at Amazon Go
Boy! This dude would have eaten the whole train if he had a chance ...
I hope you have a chance to one day make the trip in the daylight. The scenery along the way is fantastic!
Thank you Gene, I'm counting down the days where we can once again travel :-)
That's a lot of food 😄
Thanks Diego! I was certainly happily stuffed afterwards -- there was a reason I looked a bit sleepy near the end. This was after a buffet earlier in the day with my friend Lois to celebrate her birthday :-)
Thanks for the video..finally has chance to take sneak peek inside amtrak. Many things has changed in Seattle. I used to live there many years back during my college year. Its amazing city with lots of rainfall, how i miss the city. back then did not have amazon go yet.i am glad i can view the inside store..looking forward to more exciting videos :)
I hope the trains are running normally now. Really like Seattle too and can't wait to get back and visit some friends too...and maybe a meal or two😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo cross your finger for that, but just curious if you do need to provide any proof of vaccination certificate, prior to entering Seattle, is it depend on the mode of transport you come from? I think they implement stricter measure nowadays.
I do hope you have enjoyable trip endeavor in Seattle, can't wait for more interesting video uploads 😜
went to the amazon go in the amazon headquaters, 85degree C in sep 2019
this train looks a bit different from the one i took in sep 2019. the carriages i rode look bigger more open space between carriages
Well this is two years old, might've changed some things.
Thanks for the information. I didn’t know that you take a train from Seattle to Vancouver
Usually I just drive, but I found this route and it was quite enjoyable 🙂. Driving would have been much faster though 😉
Homie can put a lot of food away. Lol!
Ohh... Jody, I went a bit overboard there :-)
That train is looking like an high speed train
Hi Nicopavvi, it was certainly a nice experience. Definitely not high speed but a nice way to travel indeed :-)
Can you bring own food like some rice, yogurt, fruits? And also some snacks on train cross country? Esp Vancouver to Seattle?
Hi Tim! I’m addicted to watching all your videos!! If you ever come to San Diego, you should check out Tom Ham’s Lighthouse breakfast brunch which is every Sunday morning. Look forward to more videos!!!❤️
Thank you so much, and would love to visit San Diego someday. should be quite easy to do as it's just further down the West coast. thank you so much for the recommendation! All the best to you 🙂
Another great video...
.Train trip is on my bucket list...maybe Ohio to Reno...Ohio to Atlantic City....Still Trying to decide....lol...Thanks for taking us along...
Thanks again Richard! I can't wait to see some of the slots of Reno or Atlantic City :-D
I love your videos tim :-) looks so delicious 😋 and that coffee though ;)
Thank you again! Yes, that was so weird but wonderful coffee :-)
@@TimLeeLetsGo sorry if that seemed creepy xD my emoji button is kinda broken so I had to use that werid wink face
@@bcferrieslover6933 looks fine over here 🙂
I’m so upset that I never got the opportunity to ride a talgo 6 I wish they kept them instead of getting those POS horizon metal boxes
I counted a large sandwich, clam chowder, another steak dinner, three desserts from 85c, your coffee coffee drink, plus you mentioned you got some other snacks. How in the heck did you eat all that? I would have burst half-way through. :/
Hi roachtoastie, I mush admit I did take on more food than normal -- tasty though and I did nap through the rest of the journey :-)
Tim! I just want to take the opportunity to humbly thank you for your videos of Seattle and Vancouver. I’ve been trying to plan my family’s vacation to Alaska via Disney wonder cruise ship and your videos have made me feel like I was there with you while planning of course. BTW when you were eating aboard Amtrak cascades the clam chowder and the cake my daughter was ecstatic. She said I guess it was real good. Lol. You rock!😊
Thanks so much for reaching out cicarter01🙂. Great appreciated and you certainly made my day. Hope you and your family have an amazing cruise as I'm sure you will! A Disney cruise is probably the best vacation for both child and parent...so I've heard. All the best to you and thank you again 🙂
