    Lemon loaf and honey lavender latte
    Diana C.

    I really liked their lemon loaf! They also had a small but interesting seasonal menu that I got a honey lavender latte from. It was a nice spot to hang out and do some work. There were plenty of tables and it was clean and fairly quiet. The barista was also very helpful in explaining the specials too.

    Came in for a breakfast sandwich- it was well below mid. Don't recommend it. I didn't have the coffee, but I hope that it would be better. The service was friendly and fast.

    The acai bowl with strawberries, banana, and protein powder is great, I'd recommend them! I don't think I'll order lattes again (had very bad taste and this wasn't the first time). I would greatly appreciate it if tamper protection seals (stickers) were placed over the drink hole on coffee's and on on the acai bowl. It makes me feel better knowing nobody opened my food or drink. It's a simple thing that helps customers feel their food and drink wasn't tampered with. I feel this should be a requirement for delivery otders

    Fremont sandwich, lemon slice cake, raspberry white chocolate mocha
    Pranav K.

    So excited to see another coffee place come in where queen bee used to be. This is diagonally opposite Safeway on Madison and a good addition to the neighborhood! We got the raspberry white chocolate mocha, cold and it was delicious! You could taste the raspberry note. I only wish I'd got the 16oz lol. The Fremont was a well crafted sandwich (not sure why they call this a panini, as it's just a regular sandwich bread) served with chips and my kiddo loved the lemon cake slice. With smoothies, acai bowls and drink specials, there is enough to make repeated visits here. Staff are quite nice and courteous, but if I'm to nitpick they are sure to get faster with more hours of service.

    We originally planned on going to Cafe Flora. However, due to a long wait time we ended up finding this gem! More chill vibe, the food options have a little more variety and priced overall fairly. We ended up getting coffee and a berry bowl! Both delicious! We suggest trying this place out and skip the line else where!

The coffee was delicious especially with the house-made nondairy milk, but what really stood out was the frosted cinnamon roll, which was almost like candy. I am not sure if this happens during the busiest moments in the shop, but they did have staff bussing the tables, and one staff member actually brought us our order (I'd been listening for my name to be called and didn't hear it).

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

I even ask the barista if she can fill up my cup further and she said sorry that that's the measurement. That's ridiculous. I'll go to Starbucks - at least I get my money's worth to some degree. Also, most of their specialty coffee drinks have dairy in it. So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options. They are pre-made mixes They have food but nothing vegan so if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, you're out of luck. The pastries look gross.

There's a mix of booth seating with small standalone tables and chairs, but most of the seats were taken. The barista/cashier was really nice about answering my questions about the pastry case. I ended up ordering a matcha latte with brown sugar syrup (half sweet) and a gruyere pull apart pastry. My friend got a regular latte with brown sugar syrup and the scallion pull apart pastry. I also bought a bag of their Morning Sun coffee beans as a souvenir, and the cashier mentioned how it was one of her favorite blends to drink and gift! That reassured me about blind buying. My matcha latte was pretty good. It had an added earthiness from the brown sugar syrup. Though it wasn't as green as the matcha lattes I'm used to drinking back in SoCal, it wasn't bad! However, I think I would skip the gruyere pull apart pastry next time. I usually don't mind gruyere in savory pastries, but this one was especially greasy. The scallion one my friend got was much tastier and a lot lighter - I'd recommend that one over the gruyere one. If I were to come back to Seattle, I'd love come back and try a sweet pastry and a different espresso drink.
