They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.

Love a coffee shop that has pour overs. Had the Rwanda Mbilima with notes of tea, red berry, and honeysuckle. It was one of the best cups of coffee I have had in awhile and I drink a pour over every morning that I make usually double the strength that coffee places will use. The barista making the coffee knew his stuff and it was nice to see someone enjoying their craft.

I was in the mood for something to drink after work so I came here on a Friday around 2:40pm after…read morestruggling to find street parking that wasn't too far a walk from here - it was sultry and hot and I didn't want to be out in the sun for too long. This cozy and compact cafe lets in just enough sunlight from its windows to feel cool regardless of the fact that the sun was shining directly at its front entrance. On the right-hand side of the cafe are drinks and some bags of Boon Boona coffee which I hear is the coffee they use here. I came during the afternoon, so most of their seasonal drinks - most of which have matcha - were sold out as the kitchen was out of fruits needed to make them. Instead, the barista at the front made me a 12-oz lightly sweetened custom lavender matcha latte with whole milk, followed by a custom strawberry matcha latte for a patron before me. Matcha isn't ceremonial by any means, but was still very refreshing and the weak grassy tones still came through despite the drink being a tad too sweet. The lone staff member was welcoming and warm, and always made sure to ask the right questions and offer suggestions and alternatives depending on what I was in the mood to have. I'll try their coffee here next time I'm in West Seattle!

There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

During our trip to Seattle, I'd say Current Coffee served the best coffee I've ever had…read more I'm so glad that I found this place. We picked up a couple of bags of beans from the shop, but all the credit goes to their amazing barista and owner. You can truly tell how passionate and skilled they are in their craft. We loved it so much that we visited twice, and both times the drinks were absolutely perfect (tried cappuccino and espresso with hot chocolate) The café has such a cozy, relaxing city vibe; I noticed many people upstairs reading, studying, and working. I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

The outdoor area is a great place to relax for a bit, but can get busy during the summer and is too cold in the winter when it's more of a grab and go for me on the way to work, etc. Hotwire is great from the friendly staff to the great beverages and local pastries. Highly recommend!

There is a unisex bathroom that requires a key; the bathroom is not super tidy but it's acceptable.

I liked the wall decorations, including cycling outfits indicating that Hotwire sponsors cycling, and emphasis on PRIDE. Had a delicious scone and tasty Italian soda. Staff was pleasant.

First of all, I didn't realize they have TWO locations! one in Tukwila, which I go to pretty often, and this one right by Alki. But y'all, WHAT IN THE TARNATIONS?! The Alki location is such a VIBE! It was a beautiful sunny day, and sitting there with the warm weather, Vietnamese music playing, and the food coming out... I swear I felt like I was back in Southeast Asia for a minute. I do wish they decorated the outdoor seating area a little more to really lean into that tropical Southeast Asian vibe because the location has SO much potential, but honestly, the atmosphere was already giving. And here's what surprised me: I didn't realize Natalie's at Alki serves REAL FOOD! We got: Crab & Shrimp Fried Rice SO GOOD. Flavorful, packed with seafood, and definitely hit the spot. Mango Salad , Y'ALL!! THIS ONE?! The combination of fresh mango and avocado on a sunny day was PERFECT. Sweet, fresh, creamy, refreshing. I could've eaten the whole bowl myself! Literally almost did had to share LOL! we got Fries because honestly, you can never go wrong with fries. And of course, you already know we had to get the drinks! Their kumquat sugarcane drink is always a good choice. They also have gelato at this location, which I didn't even know! So now I already have another excuse to come back and try more of their menu. Tukwila location does have food but menus are a little different, so now I definitely need to go back and compare! Overall, Natalie's Alki is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're spending the day at Alki Beach. Grab some food, get yourself a sugarcane drink, sit outside, listen to some Vietnamese music, and pretend you're on vacation in Southeast Asia for an hour.

In general, great spot to chill on Alki!
