Urban Coffee lounge has been a neighborhood staple for years and years. I'm obsessed with the fact…read morethat they make their own syrups, with the exception of a few. I absolutely love their specialty drinks like honey cardamom, and a shakerato. The vibe and atmosphere is wonderful. It's usually social and low-key but never too loud. They have excellent food, matcha with option to remove sugar (not all coffee shops have this!). Generally, I feel like their staff is really great! Love the location minus the issues with parking being tricky for a quick stop, sometimes need to pay. I keep coming back here! With gas prices over six dollars and budgets getting tighter for so many the one thing that hinders me is their prices. Their baseline drinks are an average of $5.75 + tip. Quiche slice is $8 two hard boiled eggs near $4. Typical typically if I'm gonna spend almost $10 I'd rather buy a fancy drink like a bubble tea or go out for an appetizer and food. When you own your own espresso machine and Matcha at home it's hard to justify getting such expensive drinks unless there is that "I can't make this at home" appeal - housemade syrups, Boba, etc I do love that urban coffee lounge has pour over options which can be time-consuming and cold brew, which is delicious and also more time-consuming. I appreciate their presence in the neighborhood. Having lived in Seattle for so long with so much access to incredible coffee I appreciate urban coffee lounges level of expertise with coffee. It is more rare on the east side. (Zoka is great of course!) And I will keep coming back, but sparingly due to prices. (Am I the only one who feels this way? Let me know!) Thanks for being here, urban coffee lounge!

Everywhere, someone has a variation of ube something. The ube flavor here was very pronounced. Growing up in the Philippines, I know all too well the labor of love that goes into turning the unassuming purple root vegetable into a savory purple yam. This latte combines the best of both worlds: earthy notes from the matcha mesh well with the savory essence of ube. It was happiness in a cup.

I ordered a flat white. It was prepared to perfection with beautiful foam art to finish the serving. I was meeting a friend for coffee, so I was eager to re-join my company. The Coffee Shop was quiet so I asked the barrista if she wouldn't mind bringing me my coffee when it was ready. I was just sitting at the first table past the serving area. The young person looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. She politely said, "I don't know but we can call you when you're coffee is ready and it will be over there" pointing to the serving area. Okay whatever, a missed opportunity for sure. Regardless of my personal experience, The Art of Coffee was a nice, clean, airy place to enjoy coffee with friends.

Beautiful art with a little garden as well…read more Convenient location with it in the large gas station lot near freeway, stores, restaurants, fast food, and much more. Staff is friendly and upbeat! What brought me to this stand was Lauren's amazing photo here on yelp of the Iced Pistachio Dark Chocolate Matcha. The drink looked delicious and I wanted it! I ordered it 24oz with hemp milk around 1-2pm on a Monday. Stand wasn't too busy with only 1-2 cars at a time. The staff member preparing my drink was nice and had great customer service. They were all sold out of the lemon poppyseed muffins they sell but she gave me a freebie of a lemon poppyseed muffin top that was a mistake order they cannot sell and not their usual muffins which was very kind. Now on to the drink! It was super delicious and the barista let me know during our conversation that they get their Matcha from Japan which is awesome. She whisked the matcha right in front of me which as a matcha lover was nice to see. The menu is creative with barista choices and a variety of options. I look forward to trying something different next time. Only con for me was the massive ice cubes. Holy balls! Literally...ice was thicc. Refer to my photos. It was my first time trying this stand so I didn't want too many customizations to my drink. Note to self...ask for light ice next time girl!!! I will return and would recommend :)

Noon Café is a casual family diner offering traditional grilled kababs (aka kebab), appetizers, sandwiches, and pizzas - all Persian/Iranian style. The interior is basic, decorated with photos of Iranian landmarks (I assume). Currently, they have a memorial due to the ongoing war. (Peace to all...) Service is warm and friendly. Be sure to ask questions if the dish names are unfamiliar. The Food: Soltani, $32.99 - 4 Stars Soltani includes one skewer of Koobideh (ground beef) and one skew of Barg (flank steak). Both are well-seasoned with excellent flavor. We ordered the flank steak medium rare, but it was medium with no pink inside. The steak was tolerable, not as tender as it could have be. This dish was served with rice per the menu. After I saw another table has their kabab served with a bread, I asked the server. She said other than rice, there is a choice of Persian bread (flat bread with sesame) and salad. Curious that wasn't in the menu nor did she say it. Not a dealbreaker. Her reply did raise my eyebrow. Zaboon, $16.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Veal tongue, simmered and fried, tomato, pickles, parsley Based on the description, the texture completely threw me off. The meat is mushy to the point of spreadable. The flavor is light with minimum seasoning. I applied hot sauce liberally to the sandwich. Portion size is large. I ate only half. Fries, $6.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside Some pieces aren't crispy enough. Some pieces are too thick such that the inside has the potato gritty texture. The sauce is a house-created flavor. We like the sauce more than we like the fries. The food is closer to 3.5 Stars. I like the family vibe and am rounding up to 4 Stars for the overall rating.

A very welcoming barista crafted a pair of 16oz mochas with really nice coffee art. Note that cash payment is not accepted. Points can be accrued via Toast by signing up with your phone number. Nice clean cafe with plentiful natural light, healthy plants, and mirrors. There's merch and coffee roasts also available for purchase. I can't speak to pastries and other menu items since we were there towards the end of the business day. Majority of the folks seated along the counter were taking advantage of natural light while working on their respective laptops. Counter seating, as well as, table seating are available onsite.
