Place hasn't changed in 20 years, and I sort of like it that way. I used to stop by here after runs at Discovery Park, but nowadays, I'm not in this part of town very often. But I was happy to see that it was still around. You won't find single origin beans with a story, but you will get a strong cup of joe and espresso that tastes like early Seattle :). The place was fairly empty on a recent Saturday afternoon, and it was the perfect spot to kick back in a quiet space. There is also an outdoor patio as well. Would love to come back soon in the near future and also visit their neighbor, fiddlehead brewing!

Walls and floors not maintained.

Dirty. Walls, floors and counter tops all dirty and not maintained. All things that could be improved via cleaning and better management. Coffee is also consistently burnt tasting. I know it's not the bursitis because I've purchased their beans a few times and got the same burnt taste on my machines. Overall very disappointed, especially due to the potential of the place. It's large, has in house roasting (that needs improvement), and in a cool location...

Roaster

This cafe transported me back to the shops in my home town of Federal Way. Very classic, second wave, homie style with lots of pastry options and Italian style dark roast coffee. I ordered their espresso which tasted like a classic dark roast with lots of body and chocolate notes, and a sausage egg cheese sandwich which had been sitting for three days but still tasted decent. The retail beans were roasted in house and started at $17 for 12oz. There is lots of seating both inside and outside, baristas were very friendly and offered great service, and there's a very beautiful old roaster that was the centerpiece of the room which really solidified the traditional coffee shop ambiance. Overall, this shop is great for just relaxing, getting work done, and if you're craving a solid dark roast coffee.

Iced double 12oz latte with apple pastry

I usually come here to hit the drive thru and everyone is always nice. The coffee is on the darker side but inside they also sell lots of different whole bean roasts with grinding. The food options: pastries, breakfast burritos and sandwiches, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, and I believe a protein box. All fresh and appears made in house. The service timing is what you expect for good coffee.

This was their iced green tea lemonade. They need to do better! They need help. Sad, this is Seattle! Please represent our city better!!!

They need to do better!!!!!!!! This is a negative 10 star review. My coffee was also bland and the burrito was cold.

Perfection!

Ordered a hot chocolate and it was not hot and not chocolatey. Something so easy to make and it was a complete fail. Pathetic!

I sat down at a table for just a couple of minutes and a grungy fisherman walked in, sat down at the grand piano, and started playing beautiful music.

A good day always starts with a good cup of coffee!…read more On our first morning in Seattle, my daughter and I found this little coffee shop nearby with excellent reviews, and it turned out to be a wonderful start to our day. My daughter ordered the June special, the Fruity Pebbles Cold Foam Cold Brew, while I chose the Brown Sugar Latte. The special drink was beautifully presented, and my daughter loved both its unique flavor and refreshing taste. My latte was made with Stamp Act Coffee, and I really enjoyed its clean, smooth, and naturally rich flavor. You can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. For breakfast, we paired our coffees with a croissant and the pumpkin nutty bread. Both were decent and convenient for a quick breakfast, though the coffee was definitely the highlight of our visit. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood café with excellent coffee to start your day, this is a great spot to check out.

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.

My friend got a black sesame latte and she enjoyed that. I also tried their croissant but that was just ok, I did appreciate that the warmed it up for me! They have a few other pastry options.

Their Vietnamese does coffee tends to run on the sweeter side so I always opt for less sweet. Their matcha is decent. Not as strong and can be a little chalky in my option but gets the job done. The coffee is where they definitly shine. Over the past few months I do feel that the quality of their drinks have been inconsistent. Drinks either have too much/too little ice or are very milky. They will remake your drink if you're not satisfied with it which is a positive. Staff is always friendly and I love that the space is clean and has tall ceilings. It does get pretty loud in there so I wouldn't recommend doing your work or study at the cafe but I do see many people doing it.
