The place was really aesthetic and cutesy...but for those who get overstimulated quick, i wouldn't recommend going on Saturdays @ 4pm. The horchata chai was a 3/10 and for 8 dollars i would rather go to Starbucks. I went mostly for the photobooth and it honestly sucks and kinda expensive. The staff were alright and I don't have anything bad to say about them! I wouldn't go again though, i really wish they had more places to sit down. read more

Bonito Cafe y Mercadito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Such a cute spot in Cap Hill! They have really curated such a vibe here from the decor to the little bits and bobs they sell- there's even a photo booth! I got their horchata chai and added espresso to it. This drink only comes iced but was so good. Even on a chilly Seattle day. This is a pretty popular spot, so I think i waited 10-15 ish minutes for my drink but they took my order quickly and I was able to look around all the fun things that they were selling. There is seating but on a popular day, I think it's a bit harder to get a seat. When I'm in Seattle, I stay within walking distance but I can imagine parking being a bit tough here. Bonito is def one of my go-to coffee spots when I'm in Seattle. read more

Super delicious coffee with Latin inspired flavors and fresh tasty pastries! This cafe is super vibey and has a chill ambiance. They showcase local artists and sell stuff like prints, handmade goods, and fresh salsas which is cool. The pastries are frequently changing but they're always tasty so it's a nice place to stop by for a quick snack. I like the drinks that have lots of spices because they differentiate this place from other coffee shops. The Que Bonito and Chai Horchata are really good. The Que Bonito has a really nice balance of cinnamon, sweetness, and coffee flavor and nothing is overpowering. The Chai Horchata is a good alternative if you don't want coffee but it doesn't skimp on the flavor either. I really like the conchas here. I feel that usually most conchas are kinda stale and bland, but the conchas here are tender and fluffy, and I love the fillings which add additional moisture and flavor. The other pastries are good as well but so far, the conchas are my favorite. read more

Service was really slow but there was only like 1 person actually making drinks so that probably makes sense. Steep pricing in comparison to the actual portions unfortunately. Drinks weren't good, we got the lavender jamaica and some coffee drink, neither were good. Honestly I could've went to a different coffee shop and it probably would've tasted much better. Also a very tiny menu, not many flavor options at all. Not a lot of "group" sitting, mostly just a few tables for singles/duos, both upstairs and downstairs. This is definitely more of a "cute and trendy" coffee shop. Decor is simplistic and cute, quality just not great, and I don't usually go places just purely based on vibes unfortunately. read more

Absolutely amazing! My family and I traveled from Miami and the owners were so kind! They even gave us the ability to take as many pictures in the Photo Booth! The coffee is perfect! Smooth and tasty! The vibes are definitely there and you can sense the love! Defiantly planning on coming back and recommending! (Get the pupusas across the street) read more

Bonito is one of my favorite spots to pop up in Capitol Hill in the last few years. Its vibe and curation stands apart as a Hispanic coffee shop here in Seattle. I've enjoyed each drink I've dried off their menu from the cold brew to the Que Bonito, and the pan dulce offerings are also great to see. If anything I'd love to see them expand the selection even more with some marranitos or buñuelos. The staff is always kind, the space always has something going on with visiting vendors, and it's a joy having this representation and community space in the neighborhood. read more

I went for the Horchata chai and, unfortunately, they were sold out. BUT the barista recommended a house latte with cafe de olla syrup instead and horchata cold foam, and it was a delicious sub. The stuff for sale was so cute too and the photobooth is a must, of course. Fun little cafe to try, would recommend! read more

Bonito Cafe y Mercadito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow... obsessed. From the moment I walked in, the staff was all smiles--so warm and friendly, it instantly set the vibe. Almost everything is in Spanish (love that touch!) and the drinks? Next level. We're talking homemade syrups, beautifully crafted, total works of art. There's even a cute little merch shop to wander through while you sip. The space is gorgeous--massive windows, sunlight pouring in, and an ambience that just feels good. Bonus: I scored free street parking (), and it's literally right off the freeway--couldn't be easier. Already counting down the days until I can come back! read more

Amazing cafe. The atmosphere here is on point. Super bright and welcoming. We enjoyed the beautiful black and white Photo Booth and also purchasing a cute sticker to support local artists. This place gets busy! We found a seat and within two minutes more and more people filled the seats and surrounded us. Seems a lot of people on laptops come to work. The cafe is so beautiful. I appreciate they do for here glass ware which is better for the earth. After you're done with drink and food they do have areas to return your dirty dishes before leaving upstairs and downstairs near the condiment bar. I ordered the popular Horchata Chai Frio y mi novio ordered the Fresa Matcha. I suggest he stir his drink but he refused. Once he got to the matcha part he described the flavor as bitter. If you're new to matcha or don't have it often I suggest stirring this drink to thoroughly enjoy it. I am a matcha lover but love horchata so had to give the Horchata Chai a try. The drink was very tasty but not extremely memorable being honest. Presentation was great, the Fresa Matcha looked and tasted beautiful. I love el mercadito features local artists. I purchased a cute de la Rosa sticker (one of my favorite childhood candy). You purchase at the front from scanning barcodes so that purchase being made is going directly to the artist. I also love this cafe has an awesome photo booth and yes I had a whole photo shoot by myself and then with my man. High quality photos! The Photo Booth is located on the bottom floor in the cafe seating area. Appreciate they have a mirror on the outside of the booth. I would highly recommend and would return as this is a great business to support. Also they play great music! Once Kali Uchis started playing on the speakers I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. We had a great experience :) read more

Bonito Cafe invites anyone and everyone to celebrate Hispanic culture through the well-curated lens of drinks, baked goods, snacks, and a plethora of interesting merch from Latino artists. The place is a bit bigger than expected as it has an entire second attached area for seating as well as an upstairs that seems to be sectioned off for private use. A few tables, a couple standing bars, a long seat, if you can snag a spot this place is cozy and in a great spot to lounge up for awhile for work/study. I got a wide spread of goods to get the lay of the land and I'll give reviews on individual items below. The lady working there was soooo sweet, friendly, and fun. Mad kudos to her. In terms of merch there was awesome looking handmade mugs, little decorative art pieces, tshirts, all kinds of things honestly. As for what I thought of everything I tried: Jamaica 3.5/5 - It scratches the itch but for me personally it needed more sweetness + tartness as it was a little light. Horchata Chai 4/5 - Creamy and smooth texture which I love, sometimes horchata is too thick or even a bit grainy/chunky from the rice. Again a little light on the flavor but in a way that's refreshing too. Maybe a touch too sweet? Arepas - This was in the refrigerated section and might have been made by a 3rd party. I didn't see any instructions on it but it was like corn masa based with cheese inside and came with a mustard mayo dip. I feel like it could have been really good but needed to be heated up properly and microwaving it was definitely not the way to go as it ruined the texture of the corn part. Maybe it needed to be steamed now that I think about it. Won't rate since user error maybe. Strawberry cream cheese cake 4.5/5 - Delish! Passionfruit Papaya Concha (Filled) 4/5 - Looked rough as the topping was falling off but surprisingly soft and well-flavored, nice and cinnamony. Filling was tasty too. Rojas Al Pastor Burrito 4/5 - Such a good burrito and vegan too! Rojas is awesome and located in Pioneer Square. I heated it up in microwave at 70% power for 2 mins then grilled on a pan since it comes super soft and wet and I wanted that texture. Definitely glad this place is around and will certainly come back for more! read more

BONITO BONITO BONITO!!! this is easily my favorite coffee shop in seattle. not only did the owners take their time to tell us their story and remember us when we came back the next day, they went above and beyond to make us feel seen and safe here. this space is an absolute gem in cap hill and i will always swing by to support every time i am in seattle. thank you for doing the damn thing and sharing the beauty in latino queer culture. read more

Love love love 10/10! First off, Latino-owned, so I love to support. The drinks were very creative and there was an espresso tonic so of course I got that. It was fantastic. My friend got the cafe de olla drip and that was great too (coming from a drip-hater lol). The passion fruit concha was soft with well balanced flavors. Also, they don't use lard in their conchas so it's Muslim friendly! Ambiance was too cool, I can tell why this is a popular spot. Unfortunately, the photo booth was out of order when we visited but that is a BIG plus in my book. Hope it's working the next time I visit! Service was efficient and baristas were well informed. read more

Every time I go here I am so happy I did. I love the space, the staff, the music , the ambiance and of course the coffee. I could go on and on about everything that I love about Bonito Cafe, instead I suggest that everyone go and experience it for themselves. Major plus if you go on the weekend and the papusa tent is out front. I just ate two and as I am writing this review, I am wishing I bought two more papusas for later. read more

Bonito is such a gem on the hill! The branding and interior are so cute and spacious, thoughtfully designed, and super consistent in its vibe. There's plenty of seating, and since it's a little removed from the busier part of Capitol Hill, it feels more relaxed and even has easier parking (a huge plus). They've got an upstairs area that's perfect for hanging out, reading, or just chilling solo, and downstairs there's a vintage black-and-white photo booth that's $9 which i feel is a standard photobooth price now days but it prints six unique photos (two strips), which is such a fun touch and worth it. I tried the horchata chai latte, which was sweet and creamy. It will definitely be my go-to when I'm craving something on the sweeter side. Can't wait to go back to try their latte and matcha next! Overall, Bonito has amazing drinks, a relaxed vibe, and a beautifully curated space, what a perfect Capitol Hill coffee hangout. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since I saw it on Instagram! First of all the aesthetic is on point. It's more on the quiet side too. They also have a photo booth ($9 for two photos). We came at 10 am on a Saturday and service was speedy. The coffee was solid although the horchata was a bit on the pricey side. The gansito cake was delicious. It reminded me of an elevated ganisto. I would come back with a smaller group as the seating fills up quick. read more

The drinks are cool with inspiration/fusion of Hispanic culture. Love how it makes the drinks unique. I got the fresa matcha latte and I would rate it a 4/5. It was nice but it would be nicer if they had chunks of real strawberry. The interior is cute with a little bit limited seating. The Photo Booth is a cool concept, however it's quite expensive. Service was amazing and the worker was very nice! read more

I saw this place all over my socials and decided to give it a try. The interior is beautiful and so aesthetic. I got the Que Bonito Latte with horchata cold foam, which paired really nicely with the espresso. The baristas were extremely friendly and broke down the menu for me. Also, there's a no wifi/no screens policy on the weekends, so make sure you're aware of that. Once I realized this policy the baristas were super nice and offered to make my drink to-go and apologized even though it wasn't their fault. There's plenty of seating and even a photo booth. I would definitely come back during the week so I can work here and fully enjoy the space! read more

The matcha was disappointing, and my friend ended up with the wrong drink because of a miscommunication (not fully on the staff).

Super cute spot and great drinks! I had been meaning to check out this place for forever, and it did not disappoint. When you walk inside there is a cute little market where you can purchase some small goodies, and drinks are ordered at the counter. They also have both upstairs seating and tables in a room nextdoor. I got the que bonito which seemed to be a combination of all the things I wanted to try there. It was essentially a cafe de olla latte with horchata cold foam on top, and it was delicious! The espresso flavor was smooth and shone through, the syrup was a unique blend of flavors, and the cold foam was nice and refreshing. Maybe one of my favorite coffee's I've had here in Seattle! I also had a bite of their raspberry cake which was moist and dense and so good. Highly recommend this spot! read more

As you can tell, I will be back again and again! Also headups, there is not a lot of seating. There are stairs upstairs and a few tables on the main floor read more

I've been seeing this coffee shop be mentioned on social media and so I've been waiting for the right time to go and check them out! Thankfully, they were open on Christmas Day so we were able to visit them. We got an oat latte with their housemade cafe de olla syrup and their seasonal peppermint stone ground mocha. Both drinks were amazing! My husband and I are not fans of peppermint, but we loved the peppermint drink! They were out of the champorrado drink so we're going to come a bit earlier next time since that seems to be a popular drink. They were also out of most of the pastries so that's just another reason to visit again! The space is chill and relaxing! They have a small merchandise area. I was a little tempted to shop, but maybe next time! The barista was so nice and friendly. I realized I asked a bunch of questions but she entertained them all very enthusiastically. We'd be back for sure! read more

We've passed by this cafe a couple times coming to and from PAX and other places. We finally tried them this morning and I loved the atmosphere! It's such a cute spot and the baristas are so nice! Im always iffy trying matcha at a new place but their Fresa Matcha is soooo good! The subtle flavor of the strawberry with the matcha went so well. Their pastries are really good and I liked the flavors of the jam in the middle of the Concha. It tasted fresh! I won't dock a star because this is a locally owned place and not a corporation. But their prices were a lot. I think it was like $34? for everything in the picture. Seattle is just expensive so I won't dock a star cause I really like the place! Definitely a place I would go to again! read more

Went and tried this place two weeks ago and already been back a couple of times. Overall I just like the vibe and everyone that I've talked to that works there has been really nice. The drinks are good, I liked the strawberry matcha and vanilla latte a lot, it's a cool spot and they do fun pops up and have a fun little photobooth and turn to casual drinks at night. It was my first time trying a marronito and I really liked it! My friend said they're usually more crunchy but I don't know any better and really liked it? read more

I absolutely love the ambiance and vibe of this place. It feels very curated and aesthetic. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was very busy. I wouldn't come here to work cause they bump the music pretty loud, great vibes just not a study spot imo. The day we came they had a pop up vendor which was fun, I love meeting Seattle creatives! The service is great and very friendly! My friend and r were struggling to get the door open so one of the baristas came and helped lol Their menu is pretty limited and pricey so we decided on just trying one drink. We ordered the Horchata Cold brew, it was good but not sure what makes it horchata besides the cinnamon on top. Tasted pretty plain but we drank it all. We didn't order anything as we had just eaten but they carry Gluten Free options which is a major plus for me read more

Very foamy. It was good, felt authentic. The service was nice. Vibes were best thing about this place tho.

Such a cute and new cafe in Capitol Hill! Love how spacious it is - seating space with tables downstairs and bench space upstairs! Music can get a bit loud upstairs if you are trying to do work or study. Staff were very friendly! I tried the espresso tonica ($7) and fresa matcha ($7). Wasn't a fan of the tonica but fresa matcha with almond milk was good! Recommend if you like strawberry matcha lattes. Love how they don't charge extra for alternative milk as well. There's also a vintage photo booth ($9 per strip though) located on the first floor. read more

I really enjoy this place and hope it thrives! Such a cute and aesthetic interior with adequate places to sit. I never had cafe de olla before trying it here and I loved it. Has a really spicy, earthy, sweet flavor that I've never tasted before. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is that the baristas are inconsistent in how they prepare the fresa matcha drink. I've had it three times now and loved it every time, but a different barista prepared it just now and it's not nearly as green as it's been previously--this one just tastes like strawberry milk (as they use a strawberry powder to do the fresa flavor). I hope they take this feedback because it's otherwise a lovely drink! Please see my picture for a comparison. It's pretty sadddd lol. I've also tried their mocha and it's solid. Will definitely continue to keep this place on rotation. read more

This coffee shop claims to be a safe space for visitors, but it couldn't have felt any less welcoming than it did. The employee who took my order was very helpful and helped me pick a coffee, but as for the other two employees making the coffee, it seems as though the bitterness of the coffee they use has rubbed off on them. Aside from their coldness, they don't have WiFi on the weekends and I found the table spaces to be dirty. Additionally, the coffee was pretty mediocre and their pans (pastries) were cold and hard. If you're going to spend money on coffee, I would try to spend your money elsewhere. Not sure how or why this coffee shop has good reviews. As a Chicana, who just moved here looking for community, I'm pretty disappointed. read more

I'm SO EXCITED that Bonito has finally begun to open! They are still working on setting up their schedule so I recommend checking their Instagram for now to see when they're opening. They have an emphasis on community and culture so they feature little markets in the cafe to highlight POC, local artists and items. There are great places to sit, wander, and chat in a spacious and lively environment. The location is right on Olive and Melrose Ave so it's best to walk here rather than trying to park. I talked to Daniel, one of the owners of Bonito, and he was excited to describe how he wants the cafe to be a place where people can come hang out rather than a cafe where people come to do work. Onto the drinks, I've tried their horchata chai and espresso tonica! Both of which I absolutely love. The horchata chai is delicious and sweet while the espresso tonica is a lovely refreshing option that I think will become my new staple. It's a place to come stop by, grab a coffee or refreshment, and wander around the Hill afterwards. It's an amazing addition to the area!! read more

Good energy and very welcoming vibes - open Tuesday through Sunday, super friendly staff - on Capitol Hill.

When I had my first bite of Mayra's sweet treats at the farmers market, I was hooked! Loaded with fun colors and flavor combinations, it's a huge plus pan dulce is offered here. There is a very cute gift shop area as well. So many beautiful and unique things, stickers and jewelry, made by local artists. Absolutely love my new Bonito tote bag - really spacious and trendy! I see so much potential in this light-filled, contemporary space for art shows, live music, night markets, pop-ups and more. Looking forward to horchata and iced coffee this summer! read more
