    They even have this extremely rare musical instrument! What is it you ask? It's a mime tambourine.

    Excellent space, comfortable seating (ergonomic for adults), nice exalting architecture. Rare in this town. But even more engaging, is the friendly professional staff!

    Cute little café. Got the avocado toast with balsamic glaze, my favorite on avocado toast. The avocado was a little cold, but it still tasted good with the bread. I also got their seasonal drink, the Cashmere Sweater, which was an amazing drink to have before leaving Seattle.

    Chocolate chip cookie

    I've heard a lot of positive things about Evoke so we decided to try a Friday morning. We went around 10 AM, and the cafe seating and neighboring office atrium seating was quite full, and it all seemed quite cozy, a great place to chill and relax and consume some coffee and food. The line wasn't too long, and I quickly was able to order a matcha latte and a chocolate chip cookie. The matcha seems to come unsweetened by default, and I was asked if I wanted it sweetened which initially confused me, but you sweeten it with one of the many flavored syrups they have. I opted for lavender. This system is nice for flavor, but it does make the drink more expensive than other places nearby. Warming of my color was also offered, which I excitedly agreed to. Everything was delicious! I loved the warmed of the cookie, melting the chips, and the lavender matcha was good! It's also a really comfortable place to sit and eat for longer times. Will be back!

    Cold Brew with Almond Milk and vanilla and peppermint

    Great coffee. I've had their cold brew (love all the syrup options) their matcha latte, and cheddar and dill croissant. All delicious. Love the space-- nicely decorated, cozy, artsy. The perfect morning spot to start my day. It's large, with a big work table, sofas, and outlets. Perfect place to get work done too. They also have a 90's gallery full of musicians I love. It's just my vibe.

    Latte
    Savannah M.

    One of our favorite study spots in the city. Perfect for days when you need a quick coffee stop or dozens of emails to respond to. The openness of the space is stunning and the staff are incredibly down to earth. We love their wide variety of flavors but the mocha and chai latte are top tier.

    8oz oat milk latte

    Located at the 9th and Thomas building, aka "The Living Room of SLU," this is just the cozy workspace that I've been looking for! The building is full of art, comfy couches and chairs, and plenty of outlets. The music is played at a reasonable volume for getting work done or having a meeting. People are super friendly and the coffee was great!

    Seating

    Don't come here if you're not an Amazonian. The coffee and pasteries here are great, and the staff are really nice. This is quite a workspace unlike any other, almost feels like a little cafe in a library, and there's plenty of seating. I would come back more frequently if there weren't as many judgmental stares and passive harassment by the patrons here who act like they reserved the seats and tables and try to nudge you out. Let's call it as it is; it's a place for Amazonians and outsiders aren't welcomed.

    Oat chai
    Brooke A.

    I came here on Wednesday during international women's day, and drinks were free! The barista was so incredibly friendly, and she suggested I try the chai. I got mine with oat milk, and it was absolutely delicious, with a great amount of spice. The atmosphere in this coffee shop is great for working or chatting with a friend. It's calm and cozy, with lots of plants and ample seating, both in the shop's designated area and in the lobby of the building to which it connects. I'll definitely be back now that I've become acquainted with this little gem of a coffee shop - bonus points for it being women-owned!

    Latte, avocado toast and breakfast sandwich

    Avocado toast tastes good! Breakfast sandwich is amazing! But latte is average and there is no latte art on it, which I'm disappointed about. The environment is good and it seems a great place to work from.

    breakfast sandwich and vanilla latte

    we were visiting seattle for the weekend and came across this cafe! great coffee and breakfast. we ordered a cortado, iced vanilla latte, cinnamon bun, and the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed everything!

    When we woke up this was a couple blocks from where we were staying. All i got was drip coffee and damn was it strong but was much needed to wake up. Was a nice clean area and the lady who made the coffee was super friendly. We would go back again if we're ever in the lake union area.

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

I even ask the barista if she can fill up my cup further and she said sorry that that's the measurement. That's ridiculous. I'll go to Starbucks - at least I get my money's worth to some degree. Also, most of their specialty coffee drinks have dairy in it. So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options. They are pre-made mixes They have food but nothing vegan so if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, you're out of luck. The pastries look gross. I took one look at it and it definitely was not appealing to look at. It looked dry and it looked like the pastries have been sitting in the display case for weeks

I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor.
