They make great lattes and other drinks. They make good and tasty food also. The owners and workers are all happy and helpful and enjoyable. read more

Glad to discover this spot in the neighborhood. Picked up breakfast this morning. English muffin sandwiches, matcha latte, and London fog were all very good. Banana bread was exceptional! P.S. it also has a notary? Handy! read more

Terrible customer service... Me and friends go here almost daily and there's no way they wake up on the wrong side of the bed everyday. Rude towards kids for absolutely no reason but charge hella!! But make most of their money off of us read more

First time visit to Brown Study Coffee Space today (5/26/20), located off of 35th NE near Nathan Hale High School. This location has always been previous indie cafes in one format or another. Ordered a 16 oz mocha and another one with 3 shots. Coffee was much improved over my molten, one dimensional yesterday from another southend spot. Today's mocha was at the perfect temp, decent ratio of coffee to steamed milk and chocolate. Very enjoyable and a much needed boost after a pathetic start earlier this morning. Coffee menu is being updated, but I did include photos of their other beverage selection and savory items. The pastries featured are from Sod House Bakery in Ravenna. Again, the usual protocol, wear a mask, social distancing with limits to one or two people maximum in the cafe. Decent mocha option if in the vicinity! read more

I stopped by this morning because I frequently walk by this cafe. They have gone above and beyond for safety measures-they are allowing no more than 6 people at a time inside, and you can order either at their desk or in front of the barista. Masking is enforced and they have hand sanitizer available. The barista was very friendly and professional! There is no seating inside at this time. It was hard to choose what I wanted, and I decided to go with something new to me. I have never had a Taro Espresso Latte before, let alone Taro & Coffee, and I was blown away. The flavor was excellent and not too sweet-the balance of the Taro and the Coffee was perfect. They also had some chips, cookies and pastries although I did not have any of those today. Their menu has so many options-I will definitely be back for something, whether traditional or new. Come check it out! Bonus: the parking is easy, and they are close to the Meadowbrook Pond, Nathan Hale High School and the Lake City Fred Meyer. This cafe is easy to access and is conveniently located. read more

my drink was so good!!! I ordered an iced white mocha and it may have been the best I have ever had. my boyfriend ordered a hot cocoa and it was also delicious!!! read more

This is my favorite local coffee shop! The owner/barista has the best espresso drinks in the neighborhood. He also has a number of blended drinks that are on the sweet side of you're looking for something more like a Starbucks Frappuccino. It's a small shop that doesn't get enough traffic during the pandemic, so he had to cut back on his food offerings and has a limited selection of pastries and some paninis. The paninis make a perfect light lunch. My one complaint is that the hours aren't always consistent -- mostly because it's just the owner running the shop on his own. He usually updates his hours on the Google business page, so you have to remember to check there to see if he's open. read more

Despite the name, this is not a good place to study or work. There are no indoor seats or tables.

The drinks are pretty good! They open late sometimes which is inconvenient for me but maybe not for others. Ty service is pretty good it take a long time to get a drink though. There is only maybe 3 places to sit so it feels at bit uncomfortable sometimes but over all it a pretty good place to get a little drink it pastry! read more

Great small coffee shop. They have a good selection of drinks from coffees to smoothies. Looks like they use locally roasted coffees, helps their coffee feel really fresh. read more

A perfect little spot to go and get work done! I was there a couple Sundays ago and so impressed by the owners'/baristas' hospitality They also make all their snacks in house--rather than most cafes that order shipments of pre-made sandwiches they heat up and overcharge for. They taste better, and slightly cheaper than the standard! While I was there, the barista was closing and coffee-desperate people coffee kept coming in before realizing it was closed... He stayed open and went out of his way to make all their drinks! One mom came from soccer practice with her son who really wanted a smoothie (first of all, so cool that they offer menu variety beyond the standard espresso drinks) and the owner knew exactly his favorite flavor. Another woman specifically orders a latte with no foam (doesn't that defeat the purpose?) but he plays along with it, and always remembers her order. Another young couple came in search of stale bread to feed nearby park ducks, and he didn't have any but specifically went to the back to find something else for them. They didn't even buy anything! But I'm sure they'll remember the kindness and come back to this cafe. Truly exceptional service, and above-and-beyond experience all around. Coupled with the fantastic drinks(+food) & cute atmosphere, it's rising to the top of my cafe-list and certainly will for others who check it out read more

Love this place. The owners/operators are really friendly and chill. Great coffee, great paninis.

My first sip of my white chocolate oat milk mocha was this is F***ing good!! Love vibes. Love coffee.

Such a delightful place. Cannot recommend this place enough. Strong coffee, delicious pastries and one of the best chai tea's I've had in town. They remember regulars and the rewards program is worth it! It's always really chill and they have WiFi. Great place to study or read. read more

Fantastic coffee (beans are from Seven) and wonderful service. Stopped by for a quick cup and got some delicious espresso! Ordered a triple 16oz vanilla latte; smooth espresso and perfect foam. While there, I think 5 people came in and we were only around for a few minutes. It's clear that this is a popular place for coffee in the neighborhood. The barista started many friendly conversations with patrons about their personal lives in a way that suggested they've been coming here for forever. She even asked us how we've been doing and you just get the friendly, local vibe here! Excited to add this into the rotation of weekend cafes :) . A side note that we appreciated; they carry two chai's and distinctly mention them on the board. My husband loves chai, but only tries the homemade stuff or he goes for Oregon Chai. Many cafes do not specify what type of chai they serve, so we always appreciate when they do! read more

Looks like they've changed the owner. I stopped by the store bc the Yelp review, but there is no sandwiches, and their coffee is tasteless.

I got the Turkey Pesto Panini here and it was delish. Nice atmosphere, too. Just beware if you plan on going there during typical weekday lunch hours... it gets flooded with high schoolers on their lunch, and they are very loud and stand around blocking the entrance/exit. If you do go there during this time, plan on getting your food/drink to go! read more

Great little local space. Bypassed the larger chains to help out a small business and try something new. Go check it out!!

Blended chocolate drink is on point. Panini was very delicious. Definitely a spot to study/work.

This little shop makes my favorite almond milk latte (much better than Starbuck's). The friendly owner always remembers my order even though I'm not in there every day! Also, I love that they have a few Adirondack chairs outside for enjoying the weather read more

While the coffee is good, I was upset in learning from a neighbor that his father, who is an elderly Buddhist monk, was not welcome to come and hang out and have tea any more. Guess the owner claimed he was disturbing the patrons. Sweetest man in the world. I will not return. read more

This is a diamond in the rough in terms of coffee shops in Seattle. It has a cozy neighborhood feel, but serves coffee just the way you order it. I asked for a vanilla latte, not too sweet. It was perfect! The barista even checked in after my first sip to make sure it was to my liking. The smooth jazz playing in the background and big windows in front make for great vibes and lighting if you need a good spot to settle in and get some work done. read more

Delicious and pretty mocha. Good, quiet area to meet for going over legal documents. I liked that it was quiet.

Wow. I'm only giving 4 stars vs 3 because I could at least see the other young lady working was friendly and making conversation with people in the shop. The espresso is good but the girl behind the counter there today with dark Brown hair was terribly pretentious and rude. She didn't smile once even when I asked her how she was doing when I first walked up. She seemed as if she had much better things to do than be at work. I asked what is in a morning glory muffin and her monotone "can't be bothered" response was "I don't know....its like a bran muffin" It isn't so much what she said or lack there of bc she barely spoke to me, it's the tone and way in which she said it. Espresso was great, service sub-par. read more

This place not only has style and flavor, but it has heart. I forgot my child lunch and ran into the coffee shop looking for something for him. I grabbed a cheddar bagel with cream cheese and asked if they had yogurt cups or granola and the gentleman gave me the yogurt he had brought for himself for lunch! His generosity in my time of motherly desperation saved the day!!!! The coffee was delicious too :) please visit this place and support local businesses and know your are supporting and excellent coffee shop! read more

This place is fantastic! They have 3 different types of Chai, they tap the espresso perfectly! It's a small & but quiet place with free WiFi. Perfect spot off the 64/65 bus route. The owner Megan, was a total sweetheart! They have punch cards & if you go in on Saturdays they have double punches. Enjoy! Also, very clean & great environment. read more

This coffee shop has a subdued feel that's just right for reading or studying. The folks who work there are always friendly and the music generally is a light instrumental jazz background. I always enjoy stopping by. read more

Came here on the way back from my morning walk. The service is good but the coffee and pastries are excellent. I cannot speak for the atmosphere since I didn't sit at a table, but it seems like a nice quiet place to study or work. My son enjoyed his kids hot chocolate. The barista made an effort to ensure that it was just the right temp for a small child. The chocolate chip cookies are yummy. I recommend this place because it's local and has good coffee. Anywhere but Starbucks is my motto, and that's why I came here in the first place. It is well worth it. read more

It's a new spot, so it still has some work to do as far as atmosphere, but the coffee is good and the owners are kind. Check it out! I have only bought coffee there, but I see a lot of people getting sandwiches, so if you are hungry for lunch, it is probably worth a try! read more

Neat little local coffee shop. Pretty good espresso, nice enough service. Will come back!

Cute inviting little cafe. The man at the counter gave me a great recommendation for the chai latte and it was delicious!

Surprised to come back into town and find this location has brand new owners, but they seem great! A couple of really friendly guys playing cool jazz and offering free wi-fi, and the Italian sodas are a nice departure from the coffee drinks for me, but they offer all the standard stuff plus snacks. Looking forward to seeing how they evolve the place into their own vision! read more

Great little cafe. The cold brew I ordered was an amazing change to what I am used to.

I feel like this place is going downhill, and it has never been stellar to begin with. This morning I ordered bagel and was told I now have to toast it myself and before they would toast it for you and put a generous amount of cream cheese on it but now you get a single packet of cream cheese. I would love for a Starbucks to move in here. On top of that there is only ever one person working and it is quite slow. read more

Quaint little coffee shop with delicious coffee and always served up with a friendly smile. The wonderful owner, Megan, is always so friendly and interested in how I'm doing. Now that I've started going to Meadow Brew I don't want to go anywhere else! read more
