    Honey pot latte and ube matcha
    Diana C.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Chocolate chip cookie
    Pooja S.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    8oz oat milk latte
    Maggie B.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    coffee 5/5 i got the coconut coffee blended ($7). it comes…read moremildly sweet, so i asked for it to be a little sweeter. it was incredible! i feel that blended drinks often lose the coffee taste, but not this beauty. the coffee flavor was delicious and mixed well with the coconut. if you prefer your drinks blended and like coconut, this is your girl! service 5/5 staff was helpful and walked me through my options to make the drink to my preference. cafe 5/5 they must have recently added tables and chairs. i love that i can sit in and they have free wifi. everything was clean and tidy. parking is street only and could be hard to find. only a few blocks from the columbia city light rail stop. overall, i'm excited to go back and get some work done while i try other items on the menu!

    I used to be a regular at Coffeeholic and brought a lot of visitors here. However, the last two…read moretimes I went, I got a stomachache and so did my friend who was visiting Seattle. I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
