Just got back into town and figured I'd stop in for some coffee and food, and honestly... this place reminded me why I'm glad to be home The service was super welcoming, everyone was friendly and the coffee was good. You know a place is good when you walk in tired from traveling and walk out thinking, "Yup this is home". good vibes, good coffee, and amazing staff that actually acknowledges you with detail and craft . Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. I'll be back -- soon!. read more

Great coffee but had to give a low rating for the barista with a nasty attitude. Locked her dog in her car while she worked and snapped when I expressed my concern for the safety of the animal. Not sure how/why it's okay to do that but not coming back here if people can't be respectful read more

Popped on over to this location after the original spot my friend and I wanted to go to was closed. It's a good option for coffee and pastries or quick grab to eat. The make excellent Matcha lattes and I enjoyed their cheddar and dill scone with raspberry filled croissant. Super delicious. What I really liked about this space was that they have table chairs couches set up like a living room style situation and I saw a lot of people trying to get work in or have meetings there as well. There is also an art exhibit to the side to take a peek at if you need to take a break from what you're doing. It's a really cool space if you're looking to change out your environment for a bit. Despite it being the morning time, they pumped out the drinks as well as the food pretty quickly and customer service spot unfriendly highly recommend this place if you're looking for a café situation to do your work or have a meet up. read more

Evoke Cafe Bar - Dill and cheddar scone and raspberry croissant - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Still my favorite cafe in the neighborhood. Everything here is always awesome. We stopped in for some breakfast on our way to the park and the staff was very helpful. I was able to make one of the breakfast bagels into a vegan version which was lovely too. There were plenty of people working or chatting, including with a very calm corgi. I love this spot for having a dog friendly area - will always come here out of all the cafes in the area. read more

Decent place to get coffee and Matcha and SLU. Matcha didn't taste as authentic, the sweetness profile is a bit off. Overall, I'd give it another try at least. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We stayed in the neighborhood for a few nights recently and found Evoke to be a great way to begin our days. This spot is massive and includes plenty of comfortable and spacious seating areas for work, meetings or catch-ups. There even appeared to be multiple floors, though we did not venture upstairs. The breakfast sandwich (fried egg, smoked ham, cheddar, garlic aioli on an English muffin) was also super flavorful, savory, and salty. The yolk was fully cooked which is not my personal preference, so runny yolk lovers take note. :-) My iced rose latte was absolutely delicious: quality coffee and just enough rose syrup added to bring some floral sweetness. There were many house-made syrup options to choose from. On another day, we tried the cold brew (bold and decadent) and the golden milk latte, which includes turmeric and other spices. I'd never had the latter and while I don't know if it'll become my go-to coffee order, I can say that it was definitely well-made. The staff were super nice and I love that it's a woman-owned shop! read more

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! read more

Evoke Cafe Bar - 8oz oat milk latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Lots of chain coffee shops in Seattle, but Evoke definitely stood out to me as well as their cozy space to work with art displayed on their walls. I like how the cafe is also spacious. It is minimal and trendy. read more

*Pick up Order* It seems like a pleasant place to work from a cafe with good amount of seating Has a vibe that might boost your productivity. But for $6 later, the coffee was just meh read more

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! read more

I had to work outside of my home one day, and I came across Evoke Cafe and was so glad I worked here! The space is huge, and there's so many different spots to work at - regular tables, a communal long table with a ton of outlets, couches, etc. It was perfect for me to hunker down and get some work done. Because it's in the bottom of an Amazon building, I also didn't feel as bad posting up in the cafe since it honestly felt more like you were working in a hotel lobby vibe than a coffee shop vibe. Of course, I still ordered coffee and tipped a bunch to make up for taking up space for a while. Coffee was good and the service was super nice! They also have sandwiches and pastries for those who need some snacks as well. read more

I was in the neighborhood and just so happened to find this place. I didn't have any pastries, just a small ice vanilla latte with oat milk. The latte was good but $9.50 for a small latte is ridiculous. I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Food service and ambiance was top notch, first coffee shop in Seattle I'd consistently come back to for the great breakfast and coffee options that are always there read more

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. read more

Evoke Cafe Bar - Latte, avocado toast and breakfast sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What a lovely green space nestled in the buildings of downtown Seattle. A short walk from our hotel near Climate Pledge ended in this coffee bar. The focus on the brew, a few pastries, open space, art and plants make the ambiance perfect for your coffee stop. The roast was delicious and the baristas pulled a perfect shot. The owner also has a restaurant not to far, House of Eve. While dining there we discovered she also owns Evoke. Both are worth the $$. Sometimes you just need a space to enjoy your food/drink and not be rushed. The staff are courteous, there is zero clanging of dishes, the hustle of quick moving kitchen are absent as there is a calm relax and enjoy vibe. I can not wait to see what business opens next. I'm positive it will be a success read more

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. read more

For those visiting Seattle or just passing through, drop the Starbucks and take yourself to this lovely shop! The staff is outstanding and truly make sure you are taken care of. My first time visiting I had the intention of only trying the coffee, but then I spotted the food and my mouth instantly began watering. I HIGHLY recommend the Cheddar & Dill Scone; it's become a part of my routine each morning while I'm in town! The atmosphere of the shop is so relaxing, too. If you're staying at the CitizenM South Lake Union hotel, this shop is only a 2 minute walk from the hotel! read more

it would seems they have moved locations just down the street... I was looking into my favorite coffee shop for my last visit. I just realized that I did not leave the review. Out of the four or five coffee shops we have in Seattle. This is by far the best one, and we are excited to go back and grab another cup, nice atmosphere small place but well lit and great location. Staff is very friendly specially, for Seattle baristas and I will send this place is worth the drive if you're near any of the others... the place smelt so good I had to just go in and grab a black hot coffee with the cold weather. It was amazing and on the way out even added a bit of cream and the flavor popped just as well... My other half got an milk alt latte, the milk wasn't over done and was a perfect temp and presentation. Excited to be back in the area tomorrow to grab another cup!! read more

The coffee here is yummy! It doesn't have a burnt taste like a lot of places and it's not too acidic either. It's very smooth and taste best black. Well, that's just my opinion. The cinnamon bun is the best pastry to get. There's a large dollop a of sweet cream cheese topping on it as well. The cafe is at the bottom of what looks like an office building. But it's nestled in the corner of the lobby and feels separate from everything else. There's a big window to sit and people watch. It's also on a quiet street with trees so it feels a little distant from the main roads. Oh, and it's just a couple blocks away from the space needle and that whole park area! I would definitely frequent this place if I lived in Seattle and will be coming back here on my next trip! read more

Went to go get some work done on a Wednesday at around 10am and there was plenty of seating. The place itself is spacious and nice plus they had Wi-Fi. I got a small coffee and chocolate croissant. The chocolate croissant was really delicious and the coffee was okay. The croissant was more expensive then the coffee which surprised me. Overall good vibe read more

The cafe has really nice ambience and huge space to work. The barista is friendly too. She was too kind to refill my hot water cup again and again. There is lots of charging spots and since the cafe is pretty open, feels fresh. The place is little loud though, I had to use my noise cancellation earbuds. I got a hot macha latte and orange hazelnut pinwheel. In all fairness, I could not resist the pinwheel and finished it off without taking a picture. The macha latte was good too but the warmed pinwheel was AMAZING! This is now my to go cafe in seattle for the comfortable work settings. Must try: orange hazelnut pinwheel read more

Friendly staff. A little pricey, but their oat milk latte is really fantastic. Recommend!

Been here a few times to get some work done. I love the atmosphere! The owner (I assume) is super kind and provides great service. Every drink I've gotten here, whether it's drip or a matcha latte, has been great. How many times can I say "great" in a review? Wifi is close to excellent. There's LOTS of seating options. The space itself seems to be shared by multiple businesses based on what I've observed. Overall, I've enjoyed my time and drinks whenever I've been to Evoke. I have seen some pups inside before -- what a great bonus. read more

Cool environment. Had a collection of photos from Seattle's grunge era that were awesome to check out.

This is a really beautiful space, and looks inviting especially if you want to cozy up alone with a drink and a book. There aren't a lot of spots for groups to sit together. Stick with coffee - my visit felt like a day for hot cocoa and it was disappointing - maybe made with low-fat milk and a too-small amount of chocolate syrup? read more

Service was extremely slow. It took 50 mins before dishes are ready despite being told it only takes 15 mins. Please plan ample time here if you plan on dining here.We will not be coming back. read more

Great spot in a great location! Met a friend here for an afternoon coffee on a Saturday. A little busy, but tons of seating so it wasn't a problem. Super cute with the green wall and a mix of regular chairs and sofas. I had a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was one of my favorite lattes in Seattle! Will definitely come back! read more

Pretty empty place, part of a larger building and restrooms were hard to find. I got the latte and the espresso had strong dark chocolate, cocoa notes to it. I would say around 85% dark, if you're into that. Great place to study. read more
