    Gave my name as Michele but order came out to "Reshawn" you only have one job to to do better!
    Michele S.

    If you can't get your customers name right why are you working and serving customers. I asked about this today and they just said it was entered wrong after I specifically spelled my name! I will not be coming back if you can't even get my name correct

    Bad steamed milk

    Nice place. The barista didn't know how to steam milk and I tried to explain it to her. I believe it will get better and trust this place

    Coffee Tab's new location just opened a few weeks ago, super clean, and beautifully designed, which is bright, modern, and inviting (and I particularly love their hand-paint mural which is really cute and thoughtful). It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee. The coffee was excellent, but what really made our visit special was the latte art class we took with the founder and instructor, Johnathan. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about his craft. The class was fun, hands-on, and we left successfully making three forms of latte art. Highly recommend Coffee Tab, particularly for their latte art classes!

    My wife and I were in Belltown and we were looking for a cafe to hang out for a little while. Coffee Tab was a great choice as it had what I often look for in a cafe: a chilled vibe with a warm inviting decor and nice staff. Our coffees were great (although, admittedly, it's tough to get a poor coffee in Seattle!). There's a beautiful mural on one wall of a coffee bush laden with coffee cherries. They do describe themselves as a coffee with a cause. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I didn't find out what causes they're for. After reading our books for awhile we left. I'm sure we'll return on another day.

    Came in today for lattes and cold brew. The coffee beans smelled heavenly! This is a small to-go place with no real seating. Great to grab on way to work! Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be back!

    Absolutely love the lattes here! They are so good. And bonus points for being open early (6:30am even though online suggests 7am). The inside is spacious with lots of seating. Highly recommend!

    Iced Matcha Latte

    Got the ice matcha latte from the Coffee Tab. It was good overall! It hit the spot! I liked it unsweetened! This is a small shop, so it's more of a grab and go place than a sit down and study place! I appreciate their mission to help youth out by training them with skills!

    Really delicious coffee stop with an even cooler mission. Ordered an espresso and a hot latte during a downpour and felt like everything was clean and cozy. Didn't stay for super long but the service was friendly and the drinks were awesome. They also have weekly events/classes to check out if you're interested in those.

    Cute little grab and go coffee spot with a decent menu considering its size. Staff were friendly and the service was quick. I would definitely stop in again if I was in the area.

    Cortado

    Almost a "hole in a wall," but with a small waiting area while you wait for your to-go coffee to be made. I had a cortado, and the quality was excellent. Service was friendly. I'd get coffee from here again, even if it is to go.

    Exterior at 3rd & Lenora (10/29/23)

    I had the opportunity to visit Coffee Tab earlier in the day (10/29/23). It was meant to be when traffic was non-existent headed to downtown Seattle/Belltown neighborhood and score free parking right across the street. This tiny indie business with a grand mission has been opened for three weeks, located in the former Tempesta doughnut shop by 3rd Avenue & Lenora. I encourage you to visit their website at www.coffeetab.cafe to learn specific details about Coffee Tab. The pocket cafe itself isn't quite ADA accessible, didn't see a restroom, and no onsite seating, just an fyi. There are a variety of beverages featured on the menu and some food stuff available from the pastry case or refrigerated reach-in. I opted for a 12oz mocha - crafted with such care. I also bought a cafe Tshirt plus some stickers, because the logo was quite appealing. Sign up on the POS system to accrue points from each visit. A welcomed addition to Seattle's coffee scene and philantrophic ventures!

    A few months ago I noticed Coffee Tab was taking over the old Tempesta spot downtown. Was excited to see someone taking over the space and even more excited when I started reading the information on their website. I had the pleasure of chatting with Jonathan this this past Saturday when I stopped by. Been wanting to visit when he opened a few weeks ago, and everything finally aligned. Like Jonathan I grew up in a low income environment. I love his mission: "Coffee Tab wants to do its part to reduce the cycles of poverty and marginalization by training students with employable skills, access to community, and a safe space to spend their time". It is a non profit and in Jonathan's words "Students enrolled in our mentorship program will receive on-site barista and business management training, career support, and resume and interview preparation." On top of that it's an Asian owned company. As I stood sipping my latte I loved listening to him tell customers about his vision. I forgot to snap a shot of him cause we had such a nice conversation but you can see the top of his hat if you look closely at the last shot. If you're in the neighborhood make sure to stop buy say hi and buy a cup of coffee!! Thanks for taking time to chat about your passion Jonathan, will be back!!

    This spot has probably one of the best chais I've had in the downtown area. It's a great spicy chai and it was really well made and perfect temperature. The barista was very helpful and informative when I asked some questions. The ambiance was cool and modern, but didn't really have any places to sit or hang out. Based on that, this seems like more a grab and go than a stay and sip place.

    What a delectable meal after a 4 hour bus ride Came here…read moreafter dropping off our bags at the hotel, since it was just a 5 minute walk away. We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland. Support local!

We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings. It made our visit this time very stifling.

This comes in a very large cup, with layers of matcha ice cream, cornflakes, vanilla whippedd cream, and mochi at the bottom. I'll be honest that the matcha ice cream wasn't my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of matcha in general, but I have had examples where the sweetness balances with the earthiness better - and this felt like it leaned too much into the earthiness side of it. It just tasted off when mixed with everything else. What was exceptional, though, was the second and third layers. Mixing the cornflakes with the vanilla whipped cream/yogurt layer was awesome. The crunchy texture provided with the creamy vanilla flavor really worked - and it felt like what the essence of a parfait is with the textural and flavor contrast. I think I would've liked this a lot more if the top had been vanilla ice cream instead - submitting a request to have that as an option on the menu. This was pretty expensive. It cost 14 dollars for a single parfait. That's just a crazy amount. I know it's pretty big, but it's simply overpriced. Overall, it's a decent but not very practical dessert. 5.5/10

The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    Key Points: - Iconic khachapuri "bread boats"…read more- minor drawback: limited coffee customization options and only forks available The Fam and I stopped by Skalka for some breakfast/brunch before perusing the rest of Seattle during my birthday week. I saw it on a few YouTube food influencer videos and was really impressed by what I saw. The their staple is their Georgian khachapuri. They're the iconic bread "boats" filled with cheese, butter, egg, and whatever comes along the variety you ordered. TBH, I actually thought they looked like little volcanoes, which is something I figured The Little One would enjoy. What we ordered: - Stroganoff: one of the popular items listed on the yelp page. The beef was rich, succulent and comforting, with a creamy, savory filling. The pickles added a bit of bright, tangy contrast to balance the richness. - Adjaruli, the classic version with cheese, butter, and egg. To me, this seemed like the plainest version, but I figured The little One would be more likely eat this because she hates anything that resembles a sauce or toppings. Both dishes were fantastic. The bread boat sort of reminded me of a pizza crust: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and perfect for tearing off and dipping into the cheesy center. The Little one did especially like the crust since she's a big pizza-crust fan. Surprisingly, getting her to eat the cheese and egg was tougher, as she usually likes those. I guess that's just being a kid? Inconsistent fluctuations of opinions and likings? The Mrs. and I happily finished everything she left behind. The restaurant itself is a small, casual spot with self-service kiosks for ordering and open seating. Nothing fancy, but it's efficient. We also appreciated that they had high chairs available, making it easy to visit with a child. We did see other families with kids there too. My only gripes: - once you've submitted your kiosk order, making changes isn't really possible. The staff is so busy going in and out of the kitchen, that you really don't have any opportunity to flag them down. We actually wanted to make one minor change to our order, but by the time I managed to talk to someone about it, she informed me that the order was already being made. - If you order coffee, you need to decide on cream, half-and-half, and sugar ahead of time, seemingly preset amounts. It's entirely prepared in the kitchen, not self serve, and you can't exactly customize to your liking. - Only forks were available. No spoons, no knives. Knives would have been helpful for cutting through the thicker bread crust. Those are very minor complaints, though. The food was excellent, the concept is unique, and the meal was memorable. Won't dock any points off there.

They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average.

We tried the latte flight, which comes with four adventurous, creative flavors--including a miso latte! Overall, they were a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but very fun to try. The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside.

However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
