    This is by far ironically the best coffee out of the 5 places I have tried so far. You can actually taste the coffee in the lattes it's not just entirely milk! It's super conveniently located which was also super exciting! I highly recommend!

    Officially my favorite place for a morning cafe in downtown Seattle. A friend in the office offered me an alternative option to my big box routine latte on busy mornings. She suggested the Turkish latte and it was immediately my Fonte fav after the first sip. I've not tried anything from the brunch menu but each beverage I've tried has been uniquely perfect.

    Cashless?  So what's in the tip jar?
    Marcos T.

    Ok, the food and coffee were delicious. The two ladies working were very pleasant and provided excellent customer service. That's what got them the 4 stars, but I have a question. Why do they insist on being "cashless" but still put out a tip jar? Where are they going to spend the cash? Certainly not at their own establishment. Cash is good for all debts public and private as it states on the legal tender. Accept cash and your employees will receive more tips.

    Sage latte. Extra sage for all the zombies today! Shoo!

    Bummer!! Normally, fonte can do no wrong with their lattes. Fonte Seattle that is. Tried this place out and I was pretty disappointed. It's in the lobby of Hyatt regency Bellevue. Open space, plenty of places to sit. They have Togo food ( salad and sandwiches, even a few cookies). Pretty big espresso bar. Less food option than Seattle but isn't missing much for the espresso bar to lack in coffee. I got my fonte favorite: sage latte. It was pretty much a normal regular latte. No sage on top, nor the syrup! They forgot to add! I went back and told them about it: they added! So much that it was not drinkable! Boo! Left my cup 90% full! The barista just said awe! Sorry. Sorry indeed! Should've been the same! But not even close. Bummer!!!!

    Stale cinnamon roll with a cold center.

    I ordered a chai latte and a giant cinnamon roll. While the flavors of the latte were exquisite, it was served like warm. The cinnamon roll looked delicious - but it turned out to be dry, cold in the center, and it left an oily funk on my tongue that reminded me of a smelly refrigerator.

    Chocolate chip cookie was so hard and inedible. Asked them to warm it up and it only made it worse.

    We came across this coffee shop while exploring the waterfront. My friend from Seattle wanted to…read morecheck it out since it's minority-owned, and we're always happy to support small businesses. I didn't try the coffee because I'd already had some earlier, but I ordered a hibiscus tea drink--it was light, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. The staff was friendly, and my order came quickly, which made for a smooth, easy stop while walking around.

    There is a particular kind of café that seems less interested in serving coffee than in making sure…read moreyou understand that it is a café. Boona Boona inhabits this territory with admirable commitment. The space is undeniably curated--every chair, surface, and design choice seems to have undergone a rigorous internal audit for maximum urban cool. Unfortunately, the coffee itself feels rather blasé, as though it were merely incidental to the aesthetic project, had high hopes but fell short. One senses that considerable effort has gone into cultivating the idea of a coffee shop, while the actual coffee is left to fend for itself. The larger issue is the insistence on hipness. There is something faintly exhausting about the whole performance: the studied minimalism, the knowing atmosphere, the sense that you have wandered onto a particularly well-lit side street in Brooklyn circa 2014. And, with affection to Seattle, this isn't NYC. It doesn't need to cosplay as one. To be fair, there is plenty to admire if your primary concern is atmosphere and Instagrammability. But coffee should ultimately taste like something worth getting out of bed for, rather than merely providing a prop for the room. The irony is that there is actually a thoughtful and genuinely worthwhile mission beneath all the carefully curated café affectations: supporting African coffee growers, cultivating community, and preserving East African coffee traditions. Which makes the relentless performance of coolness feel somewhat unnecessary. The substance is there; I simply wish the coffee experience felt as compelling as the mission statement.
