    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...

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

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!

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.

It almost feels like they're in the middle of a move-out. Even the seating was reduced to tiny little stools. Our coffee was also incredibly disappointing. My partner and I both got hot Sesame latte's and when we got them the cups were only filled up maybe 3/4 of the way! Not to mention barely ANY sesame foam. And to add to all of that, the workers kept playing the same song repeatedly with horrible language and laughing about it every time it restarted. I don't mind if a cafe plays a few songs with the occasional bad word, but this was like a parody song of the "f-word." Not a great look guys.
