From out of town but if I were local, I'd be here a lot! The high ceilings are so welcome, and the service was just the friendliest. The coffee was good, they have decaf. Plenty of bonus points for having a playspace for kids in the cafe! It's nice to know some cafe owners care. read more

Cardomon Latte? Hemp milk? Say it ain't so! Dubsea Coffee is definitely a nice community cafe with friendly baristas and a relaxed vibe. It has an almost hippy atmosphere, but with decor that is simple and somewhat modern at the same time. The high, elevated ceilings made the place look a lot bigger from the inside. It's also very welcoming to families, as seen with the small kid's play area in the back with some gently used, but loved children's books. Tip of the day: Bring CASH if you can! They accept credit cards, but if you pay with cash, you get a 5% discount on your beverage purchase. For $3.95 (not including tax), you can order an 8 oz cardomon latte. Like Goldie Locks to her bed, this cup size was just the right amount of cardomon coffee for me. I passed on the hemp milk this time, but may try it on my next visit. The cardomon was sweet, with a pungent, almost earthy and floral profile. It also had a subtle spice flavor with a faintly bitter aftertaste. I really enjoyed it because my favorite drinks usually have spice in it. However, the cardomon latte might not be for everyone since cardomon is an acquired taste. They do have a raspberry mocha that looks quite delicious (from pictures on Yelp). Rasberry Mocha - You're next on my list! read more

4/5 stars only because the online ordering seems useless. I've been going to this local neighborhood coffee shops a few times the last month or so. The coffee is always amazing and the food is good. Services has always been great. I love supporting local shops so when I discovered they take online orders, I was thrilled. I've placed a handful of online orders in the past without any issues. Walk up, tell them I'm an online order and provide my name. However, today there was a bit of a line at the register so I figured since I placed the order ahead of time, I could go to the pickup area and get my order. The women seemed a little put off that I was standing there but proceeds to ask how she can help. I told her I had an online order. She then told me that next time, I need to wait in line to pick up my order. I suppose it was weird considering I've never had to do that for my past online orders. If that's the case, where there's a long line at the register and you placed an online order, you'll still have to wait in line. My thoughts, what's the point of placing an online order if you still have to wait in line? read more

Looks like the original owner sold the shop and ever since the drink quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. I personally don't mind having to pay more if it keeps the place in business but it does not help when the drinks are made incorrectly. It also looks like the previous baristas that have been working here quit and now there is a new set of inexperienced and rude staff. It's unfortunate since I've loved this place since moving to White Center. read more

Super modern, cute place. And in White Center no less! I usually come to White Center for the roasted corn stand and some bomb ass tacos. Not this time. Had their cardamom latte, which was seasonal and so good. And the barista (Aaron) was friendly and fabulous. If I'm back in White Center, I'd totally stop in for a coffee. read more

I use Dubsea regularly as a place to meet that is central to both my Seattle and Tacoma peeps! The service is always great, the staff is friendly and the place is always clean. Plenty of parking makes this place even more attractive. And the coffee? Well, it's delicious and just the way you order it. If you're in the neighborhood, do stop by! read more

Always good coffee, pastry and hospitality. They have vegan pastry so my son with egg allergy can have some goodies too:) And kids friendly! They have a little play area so we can keep my kid entertained while we have our coffee. The shop detail on this yelp says "free Wifi" but I don't see any password posted at the cafe. I wish they offer free wifi. read more

I know i'm supposed to talk about the Cardamom Latte, but that's not really my style. I usually get the aeropress coffee and that always hits the spot. Let's be honest, this is Seattle...it's not hard to find good coffee. What I like about this place is just about everything else. The physical space is great, comfortable, not over-saturated with too many seats crushed together. It's a great place to sit with your computer and do work, or have a quiet conversation with someone. The staff is super welcoming and the other coffee drinkers are respectful and nice to be around. Don't be shy about getting some of the pastries and baked goods, too...they are all tasty! read more

I've been to Dubsea many times and they have never disappointed me. They are a local business that supports local business! They serve Stumptown coffee, and fresh pastries from Macrina and Mighty-O Donuts, among others. They also feature art by local artists in their space and occasionally have live music events and show a commitment to supporting the local community. Their signature Cardamom latte is amazing - it contains sweetened condensed milk to make it extra special! Another important fact about Dubsea (at least for me) is that they have four milk alternative choices: Soy, Rice, Hemp, and Almond. The environment is great and all of the workers always have a bright shining attitude and genuinely want to make sure you are satisfied with your drink! read more

Beware of staring directly into the foam... you will be memorized. Don't believe me check out their site, no better yet stop by DubSea when their foam artist in working. I could have sworn his pictures of what he does to the frothy top of a caffeine indulgence was photo-shopped but nope. The owner confirmed she saw him make it with her own eyes. Besides being amazingly pretty, their coffee is actually really good. The space they've created encourages the creative juices with though provoking art all around by community artists. I plan on returning often for my caffeine fix. read more

3.5 stars! I had heard stories about their famous cardamom latte! I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I was intrigued and wanted to try it out. One day, I accidentally woke up too early and so I headed over to this White Center cafe. I ordered the cardamom latte and also an almond croissant (one of my fave pastries!). The barista that took my order was really friendly and asked if I wanted my croissant heated and if I wanted a stamp card! Yes and yes please! My cardamom latte was pretty good, it had a nice flavor to it - the cardamom wasn't overpowering at all. The almond croissant was good too (not the best I've ever had though). The interior is pretty spacious with plenty of tables and also bar style seating and they have free wi-fi, so it's actually a good spot to work at. At the back, there's a sort of kids area. They had other pastries available like scones and squash bread (this looked good too!) and bagels. read more

Dubsea Coffee - 12oz drip with a warmed up cinnamon roll. Yummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got the chai. Was set back about $5 and change for a 16 ouncer. Yay for supporting a more indy coffee shop. Nay for all the other ways that money could have been spent, particularly since the flavor was a bit weak. Service was friendly though. Bottom line: Damn, coffee can be expensive, and when it's not perfect, it's not worth it. read more

Love the vibe and atmosphere here! The cutest coffee shop ever. Receive percentage off your purchase when paying by cash! My favorite is their raspberry mocha. The baristas are so talented with coffee art it's hard to pass a cup without taking a photo. Highly recommend to those willing to support local coffee shops around coffee lovers city! read more

Staff is super friendly, coffee is amazing, and we love their sandwiches as well!! While waiting the shop is filled with beautiful art to browse or buy while they make your coffee. I love the selection of food because we like to pick up breakfast with our morning coffee, and they have everything from gluten free/vegan pastries to egg sandwiches and Cuban-style paninis. The turkey bacon croissant is one of our favorites, it comes with a delicious roasted garlic aioli. Ask for it heated!! read more

Great coffee, service and treats :) it's a nice clean establishment and cool vibe. We'll be back.

Great latte, cold brew and chocolate chip cookie! I'd definitely come back if in the area again. There are not many tables here even though they could've squeeze more in so it is spacious inside. They sell merchandise too if one is so incline to get a T-shirt or a mug. read more

Dear White Center- You've come a long way, baby! Used to be, the best you could get in White Center was an instant espresso at some donut shop. Now, there's Dubsea.

Can't give them enough stars!! Came to Seattle for vaca earlier this heat and as a big coffee lover I was excited and where we stayed was near Dubsea. We came here multiple times during our trip because it was SO good!! Their orange hazelnut pinwheel, or something of the sorts was to die for. I think about it as least once a week..and this was months ago! Seriously just love this coffee place and it's worth a try read more

Dubsea Coffee - Decaf latte and fancy looking doughnut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I heard about this place from a fellow in a coffee group I go to. I went with my husband and a friend on a Sunday morning. That day, there was only one lady working behind the counter so it took a while to get ahead in line and place out order (thus the -1 star.) I ordered a hazelnut mocha with an almond croissant, my husband got a latte of some sort (forgot the name though...) and my friend got a raspberry mocha. I've gotta say, that was the best mocha I've ever had. It wasn't too chocolatey nor too much coffee; it was the perfect balance along with the hazelnut flavor. The croissant was really good too! I'll definitely be back! =D read more

I have no idea how many times I have been here but just realized I have never let the world know how I feel about this place. Their motto says it all: give Love get Love. No the coffee is not Starbucks serve 50 people an hour crap coffee fast. Each cup is handcrafted to perfection and absolutely worth waiting for. The baristas are genuine and want you to have the best experience and they will make you heaven In a cup. The food is good, it is all brought in but they chose their vendors carefully. The atmosphere is great, new local artists displaying their talent on the wallsevery month, industrial meets teal and even the kids are taken care off with a hangout area. Me, I am enjoying my little bit of heaven at an outside table, enjoying a warm sunny Sunday morning in Seattle, transporting me for a moment to a village in France and grateful for having Dubsea in my neighborhood read more

This is one of my favorite Seattle coffee shops- and I drink a lot of coffee all over town. I've been coming here since 2014 and it's even better than it was then. They have delicious drip and espresso. Pastry/food selection is good and pretty fresh. The vibe is great for getting some work done or having a meeting, and on weekends it's a nice place to sit and relax a bit. They manage to be both work friendly and family friendly. What I love about this place even more than all of that that is they are great neighbors in White Center! The staff is genuinely friendly to everyone. They put up art that showcases local artists and work that local community organizations and school programs are doing. I used to do non-profit work in WC, and I know that they are supportive of them as well. It means so much to have an institution that not only values their own business but the community they are apart of. And I know that supporting this business really is supporting the community. Their mugs say, "Give love, get love," and you can tell they live by this also. read more

Dubsea is a great local coffee shop that connects coffee, art, and community. Their coffee is sourced from Stumptown, my favorite coffee roaster. Their signature drink is the cardamom latte, which gives the drink a smokey, but earthy aroma. In addition to the great coffee, they have a variety of pastries including vegan and gluten-free options. I love that the space has plenty of seating and there's a ton of ambient lighting if you're looking for a cafe to get work done in. read more

Artwork on the walls, murals near the bathroom, a GIANT pastry case that's always full of exciting things, and great staff is why I like this shop. Music selections are played over the speakers from Pandora on the register computer. Pandora always manages to get it right! I will have to dock 1 star for the fact that there's (in the afternoon) hoards of elementary-age children yelling, fighting, or pushing eachother around trying to order cookies or chips. I was completely put off by being slammed into by several rude kids pushing me away from the goodies case while I waited for my drink to be made. Other than throngs of crappy kids, this place is top-notch! Free wifi, plenty of places to plug in, peaceful (minus the kids) patrons, and above all else, good drinks. I ordered a 20oz mocha this visit, and a turkey sandwich. The sandwich left much to be desired... I have no idea how long it was wrapped for, but the taste of onion had filled all of the ingredients and the bread was soggy. It was also a HUGE sandwich, and I had to hunt for a knife to cut it into a more manageable portion. read more

I love this place, and not just because they have a monopoly on coffee in the neighborhood. The space is modern and airy, the baristas are incredibly nice, and every latte I've had was excellent. The pastries and sandwiches are delicious too. I'm so glad this place exists. Thanks Dubsea! read more
