Chive Biscuit with Maple Butter
Maggie B.

This is a cute little coffee shop with great biscuits! I tried the chive biscuit with maple butter and it was a delicious sweet and salty combination. Service was excellent and we struck up a nice conversation. There are no tables indoors so if you plan to stick around you'll have to sit outside.

Chai Latte; grabbed by other customer!!!!! They have got to do better at customer service.

The service wasn't the best. I came in and there was only one other person in the establishment. They barely said hello to me. The woman asked me what I wanted, I ordered a chai latte with oat milk. She started to make it and never communicated that she finished so I sat there and kept giving eye contact to see if possibly they would let me know my drink was done but they never did. I did not want to grab someone's order who may have preordered so I sat patiently waiting for my drink. Another man came in after me and ordered an 12oz drink. He grabbed my drink thinking it was his since there was no communication and the woman said, "No that's the chai. Your drink will be up soon." The whole time I was waiting on my drink the two woman who were taking orders and making drinks were chatting and on their phones the whole time. This is why they did not communicate my drink was up. After he grabbed the drink I let them know I didn't know it was my drink either because there's no name on the cup or anyone communicating that this was my drink. There were 6 people working, why is no one communicating and all I request is good customer service and good drinks if I am going to spend my money at an establishment. The two woman said sorry after the MOD apologized and tried to make it right. The MOd asked if I'd like to have the drink remade. I felt like it was a waste to remake the drink and I am not a wasteful person so I kept the drink and wrapped a napkin around it. I hope the guy isn't sick as I just got over a the flu and it's that season. They should treat everyone equally. The man that came in before me they had a ton of energy welcoming him in and talking with him. I could tell he was possibly a regular. I used to work at a coffee shop. It's best to treat all customers the same because you never know who you are dealing with.

Ballard Breakfast sandwich is a treat. Have the tomato jam. Very sweet little place with a coffee drive through. Service was top notch. Love the pride and trans flags hanging. Will definitely be back when visiting Ballard.

Drive through menu (8/17/22)

I tend to favor the biscuit creations from the Morsel (UDistrict) and Seattle Biscuit Company (Fremont). And yes, I've tried biscuits from Biscuit Bitch, Honest Biscuits, and the former Biscuit & Bean. Taste is always subjective and whether one is a die hard buttermilk or baking powder biscuit, plain, sweet or savory. So when I heard Biscuit & Bean was closing this Ballard site and retaining their site up north in Lake Stevens, driving often on 15th Ave W, I was curious what would take its place. Eventually I saw some renovations going on and then some activity onsite last month. I had the opportunity to stop by on 8/17/22, snagged a parking spot in their convenient parking lot shared with NoLita. No interior seating, but a few outdoor spots on their tiny deck and some picnic tables out front. There's also the convenient drive-through as an option. Warm, friendly greeting at the counter. I ordered the Ballard Breakfast Sandwich - basically egg, cheese, and bacon in a sliced toasted biscuit. I was offered to add some spicy sauce too, great! However, when I unwrapped the sandwich later at home - zero non-existent sauce. Thankfully, I wasn't charged extra for the missing condiment. Base charge is $11, but with tax/tip it was just under $15. A bit on the pricey side for convenience. The biscuit itself was nicely toasted, the crumb was moist, tender, almost reminiscent of a freshly baked scone. Egg was folded omelette style, not yolky. Cheddar cheese was melty. Bacon was tasty, but wasn't thick cut or peppery. I saved one half of the biscuit for later...and it reheated nicely with added butter and jam at home. The biscuit was decent, but for the price it would be better if was presented as a classic Eggs Benedict. Loved the updated interior, breakfast/lunch and coffee menu, one can eat onsite or to go via drive through or pickup/takeout from the counter. Fresh, made to order. Friendly service and glad Ballard Coffee was able to use this convenient spot with parking along this busy thoroughfare.

Breakfast biscuit
Emma D.

Decided to try this place out before my appointment today & was not disappointed. Staff is super friendly! Dakota* took care of me at the register and made a fantastic vanilla lavender latte. I also had the breakfast biscuit which was a cheddar & chive biscuit and I got spicy aioli on it, super tasty. Lastly I had the raspberry scone that was also yummy. As for the place itself, not a whole lot of seating, there is a deck with a few chairs and a few chairs out front. I got my stuff to go. But Will definitely be coming back here again.

Biscuit with cinnamon butter

The biscuits here are DIVINE! Perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. A great selection of jams / butters to spread onto it. Pair it with an oat milk latte and you'll be in heaven. Love this place!

Tried this place on a whim while running errands in Ballard. The sign outside is a little small so…read moreit might sneak up on you, but hopefully the street parking is open in front so you don't have to trek far for it. I tried the fall seasonal Medici mocha with an apple cinnamon pull apart and my husband tried the cortado and a latte. The quality is great and it's one of those places that doesn't make overly sweet drinks so if you like a mocha that is very coffee forward in flavor, this is a great option. They also have vegan friendly breakfast pastries and burritos so you can accommodate multiple people of varying diets. Baristas are friendly and make conversation while you wait, even when it's a little busy. It has a few tables and the typical noise of a cafe, so feel free to if into their WiFi if you want to work from somewhere other than home if that's your style. Overall great experience and I think the seasonal specials are worth a trip if you're looking for a little more fun!

Cute cafe tucked in a quaint Ballard neighborhood. I've been to their Bellevue location and have…read morealways loved their coffee concoctions. Service was quick, no line at all. And a shoutout to the server for toasting my scone. It came out warm, not dry, not too cheesy, just how I like it. Matcha latte w/ almond milk was alright, knowing this can't be compared to what I can get at tea cafes. I love how they make this place green w/ all sorts of indoor plants. Plants do light up the area and mood given that Seattle can be so gloomy around this time. Def coming back if I'm in the area again.
