They are coming up on their first decade next summer. The cafe decor also held up pretty well, including the large glass fixture from the ceiling. Seattle Sunshine Coffee also outlived Ventoux that I had mentioned in my prior post. The barista and I compared my 2016 stamp card to the current design, just had a few slight different nuances. This indie cafe had folks onsite, but not packed. There was still room available whether seated along the sidewalk, main seating area, or the upstairs mezzanine. Some convos to be had, but most of the cafe clientele were on their laptops or reading. Pastry case was well stocked with the wholesale variety from Macrina, plus the usual bevs and cafe fare. I enjoyed my near two hour onsite visit. The only thing I wished is that I had brought a hoodie. The AC was jacked up. and of course, I had savored an iced mocha. Hopefully my next cafe detour won't take nine years though between visits.

This was exactly what I expected and it was really nice to sit enjoy coffee and the vibes. Very contemporary coastal aesthetic on the inside.

What an adorable addition to Blue Ridge! We live in Sunset Hill so we're about 8 minutes from this…read more Adorable farm house style building. The theme continues from the outside to inside. They have some indoor seating, I'd guess for about 20 ish people? There's two outdoor seatings as well. Parking on site is very limited, I believe only 2 parking spots and 1 handicap spot. For my first time visiting, I ordered a vanilla latte. Something basic so it's easy to compare to other shops. I enjoyed it. Not a very strong roast, vanilla syrup was there. The foam was also nice and fluffy. The servers were friendly. They also have cute little gifts and merch. We'll definitely be back to venture through the rest of the menu.

The shop has a bright, cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating, making it a great place to catch up with a friend, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet coffee break.

I ordered a from their seasonal special list - blueberry pancake latte. it was excellent--well crafted, flavorful, and not overly sweet.

I had a work from home day and spent my whole day there tucked away in a booth. There's plenty of seating and even an upstairs that takes even more away from any noise. The noise level is very low and the playlist is awesome. I also got a breakfast crepe that was very filling. It had a great amount of contents and wasn't simply just egg.

The Tangletown Zoka's on 56th is my go-to when visiting family in Green Lake…read more It's ambiance is all I could ask for in a casual, work friendly coffee shop - wood flooring and walls, large windows providing natural light, friendly staff, and of course fantastic espresso drinks. Our faves remain the standard mocha and its lavender mocha cousin. (And this Gen Xer loves the eclectic music of their curated playlists) Pro tip: Pick up a donut at the next door branch of Mighty O's before heading inside and you will feast on the classic Green Lake pairing. Or reverse the order if you have a four legged friend. (Mighty O's is dog friendly while Zoka's is not.) Enjoy! (Would be five stars but it's a local favorite and finding a table is tough at times. Deservedly so ...)

I realized there's a small cafe on Holman Road. Next to a gas station and some other local businesses; just across the street from Dick's! I just so happen to drive on that road most days twice a day... how did I not realize this place was here? Anyway... The café itself is quite small. It's clean and sleek with great music! There's just enough space for about 4 or 5 people without it feeling too crammed. Their OG cafecito caught my eye as I've had many in Mexico City, so I had to try it! It's their take on café de olla which is a Mexican drink, made traditionally in a clay pot ("olla") with spices e.g. cinnamon, piloncillo, etc. The person working there --which I've seen from other reviews is the owner-- was efficient, prompt and friendly. Really no complaints or issues when it comes to service. Unfortunately I found the coffee to not live up to its $7.90 (inc. tip) price tag. I could definitely taste the cinnamon and chocolate notes but the coffee itself wasn't great. I felt like the espresso shot was burnt or something as it had a bitter aftertaste. I don't think I'll be ordering that again. However there were many other items on the menu that looked tasty that I might wanna try some other time. TLDR; small coffee shop, friendly staff member, OG Cafecito meh. Review not sponsored.

I saw OG Coffee earlier in the year usually driving along Holman or while dining at Dick's Drive…read moreIn-Crown Hill across the street. It was briefly open with super early business hours, then closed. I decided to stop by to check it out midday (6/1/24) after noticing the updated hours on Yelp. Really tight and full shared parking lot with Tacos & Beer and the nearby gas station. Tiny pocket cafe. There's only a window counter with limited seating available. So this is not the place to hang out en masse or to camp out with your laptop. However, I love the concept of indie cafes, big or small. Clearly the owner of OG Coffee is living the dream of crafting coffee beverages and selling wholesale also as a micro-roaster. He partners with Maiz and their four Seattle locations at the moment. He hopes to have baked goods available onsite and mentioned featuring Macrina pastries. I enjoyed my chat with Aldo, a very personable proprietor and very proud of his business. I learned also that he was a painter and world traveler. Pretty cool. Anyways, OG Coffee was opened briefly earlier this year, but had to deal with various logistics hence the shut down period. I timed my visit well as this is OG Coffee's soft opening part 2. The grand opening is scheduled for June 15th, two Saturdays from today. I ended up savoring my mocha later while visiting Carkeek Park. On point, balanced 16oz mocha! Another place to add to my indie cafe rotation. Stop by, enjoy well crafted beverages, and say hello to Aldo!

This cafe has such adorable and practical to-go cups. They were able to make Purple Haze diary free with removing the foam. I didn't order any food but they had a pastry case that still had items at 1pm on a Monday. They had some seating interior, didn't see any exterior. There were folks working on computers when I arrived, but it appears a lot of folks took their items to go.

The cashier was new so she probably made a mistake but I originally ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich, but after I paid, the cashier came over to let me know they were out. I switched to a bacon, egg, and cheese instead and didn't ask for a refund even though it was cheaper. Unfortunately, when my order came out, there was no bacon, just egg and cheese but I had already left for work. The sandwich itself was pretty bland. I was also expecting more Vietnamese-inspired breakfast options because i saw it on the yelp.
