This place is alright. I tried getting some lunch there couple of times. Tried both their grilled pork and grilled chicken Bahn Mis. The bread was nicely done but the meat portion was a bit skinny. Meat is heated up in a microwave before they put it on your bread so no way to know how fresh it is. Jalapeños were plentiful which I liked. Overall a lot of nice toasty bread for the price you pay. You order your good at the counter and they bring it to you. You go get your own water type of place. Decent overall. Tables are not cleaned immediately after the previous customers leave and on both occasions I had to clean my own tables with crumbs left behind by previous guests. The owners watched me do it and still neither offered help or apologized for me having to do it. Umm ok?!? I might still go there to grab lunch in a pinch but won't go out of my way to grab a sandwich there. read more

This is perhaps one of the most underrated shops in Belltown. Amazing food, drinks and wonderful service. I love their Caprese sandwich, but their Banh Mi is also delicious. read more

This was a cool little cafe that we found in close proximity to the Space Needle. It's very small but cosy and the staff is very friendly. They make great sandwiches here and for the price you pay, you definitely get your money's worth. This is the place to be if you want a quick bite and don't want to spend a lot. read more

Artisan Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quaint little cafe with good food and coffee. They do a lot in this little space and great for a quick stop in if you only have a few minutes. read more

Small little shop but really awesome decor and vibe. Husband/wife team is super laidback and friendly. They serve up Vietnamese sandwiches, along with traditional American sandwiches, salads, and other cafe fare. It's not the greatest Banh Mi (that goes to Saigon Deli in the U-district, bbq pork w/ egg all day!) but it gets the job done. Their artisan salad is also good. Leafy greens, bacon, bleu cheese, turkey w/ honey balsamic vinaigrette. A bit on the pricy side ($8.21 after tax) but satisfying. read more

Had to clean my own table, noticed other empty tables also needed to be cleaned. Free drinking water was very warm, though cold bottled water was available for sale. Baguette was good, ingredients were fresh, though I would have enjoyed more than 4 small meatballs. Overall, Food was better than average. read more

Artisan Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good find: Great sandwiches (we tried the BGT - bacon, gorgonzola and tomato - and a tofu banh mi). Fast, friendly service and not heaving with tourists (like many other local lunch spots close to the Space Needle) read more

On a dreary Sunday afternoon, after having been literally told by Hurricane Cafe that we should go somewhere else because the wait would be at least an hour and after standing at 5 Point Cafe while the waitstaff just meandered around while receiving absolutely no service, my friend and I stumbled upon Artisan Cafe. Not only was the food delicious but the friendly and engaging service of the lady behind the counter, her husband and son were outstanding! You can order off of their menu, make your own sandwich up or even have them surprise you. I absolutely recommend this place! Go eat there, you won't regret it. My only lament is that it is not closer to where I live. If it were I would be there close to everyday. read more

The food was good, though not exceptionally so. The service was... uncoordinated. I had to repeat my order a bunch of times, and then remind them about 2 of my 3 items. Maybe they were just having an off day? The atmosphere was nice for sitting and chatting. read more

This was the place where I had my very first meal in Seattle and it definitely helped me building such a good impression to this city! I only got a salad (Artisan salad) for my first visit which was awesome of course, but their menu covers such a variety I will definitely visit once more before I leave Seattle. read more

Artisan Cafe - Artisan salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Off the beaten path, but this place is amazing. Everything from $5.50 Bahn Mi sandwiches to $5.75 breakfast croissants, salads, soup, salad, coffee, and a few tables inside and out. I can't remember a time when I had a great breakfast at this price. So good. If you're in Belltown, lower Queen Anne, or South Lake Union, you need to come try this place! read more

See all

Friendly staff, delicious food. Very fresh. Cool and welcoming ambiance. Loved sitting outside!

at first i was like Seattle club needs more meat, then i ate it and realized its perfectly proportioned. The prices are cheap and the food is really good! it's such a small shop, i love the atmosphere. read more

This is probably my favorite little locally-owned cafes in downtown Seattle. The first time I came here was 2 years ago and I loved it and came back a second time this trip and still love it. The food and drinks are consistently delicious! The environment and ambience is great for reading or working and the couple that own the cafe are so sweet! I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Artisan Cafe - Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese coffee w/ condensed milk) and Artisan Cafe toast w/ condensed milk and cinnamon. SO GOOD! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First time in Seattle and this place was great. Spent a day at the Seattle Center and walked down to the Artisan Café. It's a cute little cafe with great tasting food and friendly staff. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Cute place to sit and grab a bite. I had the tofu Vietnamese baguette and it was delicious. Atmosphere is nice as well. Overall a great little cafe! read more

Solid, no-nonsense sandwich spot in Belltown. Owner-operators seem to hustle without being unhurried or unfriendly.

The Seattle Club is my fave. And while you're there say "hi" to the hardworking Lily and Anthony as they bring you a fine sandwhich and fun talk about the Seahawks or Mariners. This "Sandwhich Nirvana" can be found by plunging one's teeth into a Seattle Club cold sandwhich and letting its salty bacon bite merge into avocado bliss and tender turkey textures with a cucumber follow through to a fresh tomato taste finale. On fresh baked white bread. Will put some pep in your step for the day ahead... Aaron C read more

Good sandwiches but they forgot the turkey on both sandwiches that ordered to go :/ I think it was a miscommunication between the person who took my order and the person making the sandwich. They were pretty busy so I understand but mourning my $2.50 ($1.25 each) lost in turkey haha read more

First, I love the two moms who took over the place on Sundays. They're just adorable! Second, to the main point, the coffee and the food. I only had grilled pork banh mi here so far, because I can't choose any other thing. They have good seasoning and good portion of meat and veggie fillings. The Vietnamese coffee was good, but could be more consistent for the sweetness. Overall, still recommending for a place in Belltown that is convenient and so welcoming. read more

Awesome service, good food/drink, friendly staff. I ordered the pork banh mi and loved it. It was on par with the best in the city. I can't wait to try their other sandwiches. For drink I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was also superb. Will definitely be back!! read more

This place. Owned by the sweetest women!!! $20 fed two with coffee and the sandwiches are so good. Ditto with the coffee- haven't had an iced latte that packed a punch like this in a while.. Stop by. Get refueled + keep your wallet happy read more

This place is such a gem. The ladies here really care and they're such cute little ladies! I got the Everything Croissant. It was amazing! Really hit the spot. My friends got the Grilled Pork Banh Mi and Mighty Muffin. They raved about it! Such a quaint place. I would definitely come here again! read more

Artisan Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and if you don't get a Vietnamese Ice Coffee, you're an idiot!

I ordered a grilled pork sandwich. The bun is good. However, meat portion is small, and more than 90% is fat. Is it supposed to be like this? In this case it would be better if you name it grilled pork fat on the menu. read more

For a small cafe on the corner of Vine and 5th, the Artisan Cafe offers an amazing lunch experience. The owners are welcoming and nice. I was recommend the Grilled Tuna Sandwich and I loved it. The atmosphere of the cafe was very comfortable. On my next visit i'll be sure to try the Vietnamese Sandwich or the Mighty Muffin! read more

Artisan Cafe - Candid shot of the owners busy working. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

When the lady and I (who is Vietnamese) tried Artisan for the first time, we were blown away by their Vietnamese sandwiches. We were a little hesitant at first, mainly because the price of the sandwich was double of what it costs at the international district but it was well worth the price. Growing up in California and being near the Vietnamese community there, I've had my share of these types of sandwiches. I must eaten at 10 different Vietnamese sandwich shops. I also spent some time in Philadelphia and tried the Vietnamese sandwiches (they call them Vietnamese hoagies) over there. To sum things up, Artisan Viet Sandwiches is at the top of my list; If it came down to my last meal, this sandwich along with fried chicken will send me to heaven smiling. The price is what it is, you're paying for quality food and it wont give you the runs like some of the places I've tried. You ever notice how the bakeries in the International District are dirty as hell? That alone justifies coming here. Also, costumer service and their coffees are top notch! Thank you Artisan. read more

Really, really tasty! I work right around the corner and I'm pretty excited about having discovered this place. They make a delicious Reuben. read more

I walk through Belltown for work most days and I have tried many of the coffee shops on my route. Artisan Cafe is hands down my favorite shop! I am a basic mocha drinker, and theirs is my favorite. They offer a fairly extensive breakfast menu that reaches far beyond plain pastries and muffins. I really enjoyed their Mighty Muffin breakfast sandwich. They offer toasted bagels, and they actually cream cheesify the bagel for you! Who does that these days! What a nice change that is from a plastic knife and "cheesify your own bagel" mentality. The owners are a super cute young couple and they are so nice. Every morning I stop there is a pleasant and cheery experience, which starts my day off on the right foot! read more

This place is the best small cafe in Seattle. Not only is the service very friendly, but everything I've eaten here is exceptional. Their BGT (Bacon, gorgonzola, and tomato) is DELICIOUS. They have this amazing aioli that they put on this sandwich and it is just so good. They also recently got frozen yogurt... Their flavors change every so often and are all very high quality, creamy, and tasty. My favorite has been the cookies and cream yogurt with oreos on top. Also, if you have a chance to come in earlier for breakfast, order their Everything Crossiant. AMAZING. read more

Great tuna melt. Best I have had. My family loved the other sandwiches as well.

what a sweet little gem in belltown! we stopped by for lunch a few times and the food/service was stellar each time. food: i've had the seattle club, which has many components to it and they all work well together. the bacon is YUM, nice & thick. i asked to have it grilled, even though its a cold sandwich offering. their banh mi is pretty tasty too! we had a grilled chicken and a tofu banh mi and both were delish. they do not skimp on the food they serve you, which is hard to come by these days! service: food prep may take awhile, but its understandable since they make it to order each time so everything is fresh. the people there are always super nice and accomodating, so that's awesome. you can tell they really care about their customers! the cafe itself is very clean and nicely decorated. they have outdoor seating for warmer days. free wifi. i highly recommend this place! read more

Very flavorful sandwiches, and would have rated 5 if they hadn't been out of so many things on the menu.

The lox bagel with cream cheese was delicious! And so was the cafe con breve. The Vietnamese wonan who made it said she made it with love and care, so I taught her the word "carino" :) read more

AWESOME place! I came in here for a quick lunch on a Friday. Service was fast, friendly and the place seemed very clean. I got the caprese sandwich. It was the best caprese sandwich I've ever had. This is saying something, I've had a LOT of them. A lot of the times panini sandwiches end up looking smooshed, this sandwich was perfect. The bread was not smooshed at all, perfectly toasted, the cheese melted all the way through.... so good! You could tell the tomato, basil, and mozzarella were super fresh, and it was more flavorful than most caprese sandwiches. I tasted some other flavor, maybe some sort of garlic spread? $12 for a delicious gourmet sandwich, chips, and a grande skinny vanilla latte. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Awesome coffee and breakfast food all around! Really friendly place.

I love their sandwich specials! The sandwich plus the large portion of salad is always enough to last me for two meals. The woman working the register is super nice. I always call in my order right before I leave my office and it's ready for me when I arrive. They're flexible, they were happy to add avocado to a sandwich that didn't include it. And, not only is their food very reasonably priced but they have punch cards. I can't remember the last time I filled out a punch card but this one is well on its way. read more

Excellent grilled cheese sandwich on marbled rye and extremely friendly service!

Delicious sandwiches! Even our kids' grilled cheese was top notch! Try the Ban Minh, if they have it (off the specials menu). Every sandwich we ate was delicious, so you can't go wrong. Plus, the ladies who run this place are super nice! read more
