    I had stopped in a long time ago (2007-ish) to have a mocha, wasn't a Yelper back then. This post is for two visits made on 4/12/24 (takeout) and today 4/30/24 (onsite). The upper Ave-University Way-Ravenna site is located with adjacent 2 hour street parking and along Metro bus routes. My first visit was with me throwing on my hazard blinkers on while parked in the loading zone. This cafe was packed, but thankfully no line. I was able to get a pair of 16oz iced mochas to go before dropping The Homie off on campus, then continuing to my worksite in SLU. Fast, friendly, efficient service. Taking sips of it on the road and arriving at work...nicely crafted. Balanced and can really taste the espresso shots. Again dropped off The Homie on campus, but today I decided to make a detour, found nearby parking, and sat with a hot 8oz mocha onsite. I was able to snag a two top facing the front counter and take in the cozy cafe environment. There's two tops along one wall parallel to the front counter, also some shared table space, counter space, and outdoor sidewalk seating available. Folks were either on their laptops, having convos, or like me, just chilling. Essentially wrap around configuration, just a tad smaller than the Phinney Ridge location. Gave the pastry case a glance. Pleasant folks at the counter. I liked my mocha, again nicely crafted with nice coffee art. A pricey indulgence though ($5.75 including tax & tip for 8oz), but sure tasted great! They are open daily 7am-2pm. Phinney Ridge stays open later until 6pm. Their third location is at 4th & Blanchard in Belltown. Decent local indie chain. I enjoyed my brief detour and well fueled to head home to get the business day going.

    Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk + Morning Roll
    Christina G.

    Herkimer Coffee offers a consistently satisfying experience. I usually get the Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk. The coffee is bold, smooth, and has a nice depth, reflecting its freshness and high quality. Plus, the prices are fair and on the cheaper end without sacrificing quality. I also like their breakfast roll, which is flaky and soft inside with a vanilla sugar topping. This place is always busy when I visit, and the baristas are consistently nice and helpful. While the seats fill up quickly and it's slightly loud from all the chatter, the fast-paced environment is great for getting work done with headphones in. The space is slightly small, but the cozy vibes make it inviting. I've been recommended this place by several people before becoming a frequent visitor myself.

    Lavender latte
    Diana C.

    The service was great! The latte was kinda meh though unfortunately. It tasted a bit like when there's too much espresso or when it's perhaps burnt or overused espresso. Either way I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor of the latte itself and thus couldn't taste the lavender. The ambiance seemed cute but every chair was full 30 minutes before closing. I took mine to go anyways but I'd probably not get a latte again.

    Vanilla latte

    I ordered two vanilla lattes- an oat-milk one for my friend and a regular milk for myself. They maintain and clean their equipment really well since I'm severely allergic to oat-milk and I had no reaction. The latte itself was better than I expected and made this place one of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle so far. I prefer more espresso to milk in my lattes so that I can actually taste my coffee; although the more espresso part was not there, the coffee notes were discernible (which was a great surprise!). I could also taste the vanilla separately from the coffee notes too which is rare for most lattes. My only downside was that my coffee wasn't piping hot, but that won't stop me from coming back in the future! Summary: good drinks and vibes, but if you love coffee then this is esp your place :)

    A small coffee shop. Friendly staff and tasty coffee. I prefer the Latte here. Another important thing is they open the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature!

    Pesto cheese bread, cinnamon roll, latte, mocha
    B T.

    Latte and mocha were great. I would get those again, but not the food. The pastries were disappointing. Cinnamon roll was dry and lacked spice. Cream cheese was ok. The pesto cheese bread was also dry, although the pesto itself was tasty.

But honestly? The energy worked. The staff was moving with that calm, unbothered flow only seasoned baristas have. Friendly, attentive, and somehow keeping the line moving without making anyone feel rushed. Respect. Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

I looked up their yelp page as well as their Instagram and knew I had to come just to get one of their lattes with their amazing foam art! They have a variety of waffles and sandwiches on the menu that seemed appetizing however because I got here after 3:30 the kitchen was closed but they have a variety of pre-made burritos and sandwiches that you could still buy. I love that they have a huge variety of non-dairy milks including soy which is my favorite. I wanted to get the turmeric latte however I mentioned that I couldn't wait to see the foam art and the Baristas told me that due to the light color of the latte, it would be difficult to see the foam art so I instead ordered the red velvet latte with soy and it was as delicious as it was cute! I also got the egg and sausage cheese burrito and it was chock full of eggs and sausage... very filling. The decor and seating options are plentiful upstairs and downstairs. They also have free pineapple infused water for guests to drink which I appreciate. Seems like a popular spot for UW students to do work as there are lots of outlets for their laptops.

I was surprised that the cake was so cheap around $4 but after the first bite, it tasted like it was from a Safeway bakery, which made me feel a bit scammed. The latte was a very light roast, so the coffee flavor was barely noticeable and it felt more like drinking hot milk. On the positive side, the servers were sweet and friendly. It took about 5-7 minutes to get our drinks, and the place was packed around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.
