Neighborhood java stop with espresso and drip, pastries. Avoid the drip, it's invariably weak and cool. Otherwise a four star place.

Great cozy place for good espresso based drinks. Friendly baristas, and awesome breakfast sandwiches make for great mornings. The only thing that stinks is a $.45 service charge for orders under $5 using a credit card (which are most mornings). read more

Terrific service and coffee. Katy is a great hostess and makes the fastest espresso in town!

The vanilla chai was THE BEST. I stopped in this place while waiting for the bus just craving a warm drink. I am the hugest fan of chai lattes so I decided upon that. It's been weeks since I had that latte and I have been craving another every day since. If Katy's was closer to me, I would be there right now. Definitely will go again next time I am in the area. read more

I had two cups of earl grey tea and a cookie. The tea, from Teavana, was good. The cookie was delicious, crunchy outside but moist and chewy inside. Yummy. The barista was super nice. If I lived in Seattle, I would come here often. read more

Super friendly staff. Love that!!! Expresso cafe is to die for! Gave it a four because service is a little slow, so don't go there whenin a rush :-) read more

I've been a regular here for over a year now, and I love Katy's. Friendly baristas, the coffee always satiates my morning pallet, and as a person, Katy is AWESOME! I can't recommend this place enough. Though, if you are in a hurry, looking for that run of the mill, quick in and out sort of thing, this might not be the place for you. The service might be slow, but with good reason: the baristas take the time to connect with each customer, which is fabulous. It is through this connectedness that I've made Katy's part of my morning ritual. read more

That spinach and cheddar muffin!! So good, it was still warm! And it had a little bit of spiciness to it. I'll definitely have another one. Coffee was good. I liked the option of vanilla soy milk instead of just plain, I haven't experienced that at other coffee shops. It did feel a little cluttered in there and I was worried the wait would be long (I was in a rush to get to work) but the wait was very reasonable and actually shorter than I expected. I'll have to try the homemade quiche or the peanut butter and jelly muffin next time. read more

Great little place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Katy will serve you herself, genuine smiles and all. The place is small, but open, with fresh air streaming in through large open windows. Coffee is delicious, and it feels like a cozy home. Would gladly come back. read more

This place is so cozy & homy! Not to mention, the staff is very sincere with their customer service. Next time in the area, I hope I can stop by again! And icing on the cake: their iced coffee selection is delicious!!!! read more

Katy's is a great community place where I feel it is like my break room since I am self employed. I actually drive out of my way to get here. I order teas and coffee and chat with whoever is in the cafe. They have some of the best employees, so it is always a joy! The vibe is community oriented, friendly, and is quite a great place to bring your pup if it is friendly and plays well with others. It can be packed in there, but it depends on the time of day. There is some seating outside. They also deliver via Grub Hub and other online partners if you want to give them a try without leaving your living room, but the huge draw is the community social element. They also make great sandwiches and baked goods. For example, the peanut butter cookies are a popular item with regulars. Mean people, grumpy people, and angry people should go to a drive through coffee place. ;) read more

I absolutely adore this place. Great coffee and food at reasonable prices and friendly service. I always leave here in a great mood and it's dog friendly, too! read more

Dog friendly and good service. They had a few milks to choose from. I got a hemp milk mocha and liked it! Very chill and friendly environment. read more

LOVE this place. They let dogs in and the drinks are fantastic! The staff is always great. I love Chai Tea lattes and this is my favorite place I've ever had one! read more

I walk here from my office most days. Katy knows most of my coworkers by name, and greets us all with her constantly positive attitude. Aside from the fantastic art on the walls and the delicious homemade pastries, every coffee drink I've tried here is fantastic (especially the macchiato - couldn't have hoped for better espresso). You'd be hard-pressed to find a better cup of coffee, served out of a friendlier cafe. read more

Must stop by and try a nice smooth cup of coffee. My DH had the cocoa with hemp. He loved that as well.

This is one of the most reasonable coffee shops in Seattle but the service is very slow and taste isnt that great

If you're just there for your drink, they pour a mean shot. But if you're going to stick around, this place has great fresh pastries, sandwiches made to order, and some of the friendliest service you'll find in Seattle. The location itself has plenty of daylight, comfortable seating, and free wifi. It's a perfect spot to spend a Sunday morning. read more

Friendly, great coffee, good sandwich. Katy, I want to move to Seattle just for your cafe! Love this place!!

When I lived in Seattle, this place was on my way from my apartment to the bus stop I took to work. I stopped there every morning, and even in the gloomy winter it started my day off with a ray of sunshine from the great baristas. They create an atmosphere that is warm and inviting, they'll remember your drink, and make a great latte too. If you want a place that is too cool for school, go further up into capitol hill. This is a place to let down your guard and just relax. Also - the sandwiches are great and cheap! read more

Katy's has some if the BEST coffee in Seattle! Not to mention the ham, egg, and cheddar breakfast bagels that are made FRESH and really fill you up! I love how this café is dog-friendly and has inspired me with my own café. If you're ever in the neighborhood, I highly encourage you to partake! :) read more

OK homemade sandwiches and wraps but great tea and cozy neighborhood establishment friendly workers great art work

Katy was so kind & nice, thanks for her i could have a nice bagel for my first breakfast in usa.

The service here is amazing, they're so kind. They're extremely friendly and accommodating. The coffee is great, food is lovely. I recommend the iced espresso cake if they have it, I love it. My favorite coffee place/cafe in Seattle by far. read more

I had rented a house walking distance to this cafe and thought I'd try it out since there were so many good reviews. It was a cute little cafe frequented by locals. I was disappointed though with the service and quality of coffee. My latte tasted really bitter so I ended up throwing it away. And the service was not friendly. There are tons of other cafe options nearby with a nice & friendly atmosphere. read more

Oh my gosh!!! Best breakfast bagels!!! Super yum!! I was visiting a friend this weekend and she lives a few doors down from Katy's. We had amazing coffee and Bagels. It gets busy so be patient, but it is sooo worth the wait!!! read more

Rude. that is the only way to describe the customer service everyone seems to rave about, be expected to wait for the person behind the counter to finish gossiping before you can order and expect so-so results. oh, also, expect to be looked at like a piece of garbage if you happen to come in with someone else who's ordering and not get anything. i will NEVER be returning here, i don't care how close it is to my dads work, it's just not worth the wait or the treatment you receive. read more

Yummy coffee, nice and rich, and excellent homemade chocolate chip cookies. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Cute little spot. read more

Love Katy! She is awesome! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because i wish she was open later. Everything else is fantastic - excellent chai, in both spicy and vanilla versions, super customer service, free coffee grounds for composting, supporting local artists, and you can bring your dog. How perfect does all that sound? read more

This is a gem of a coffee shop. Very cozy and quaint, great prices and seems to be popular with locals.

Good bagels and coffee to start out the morning!

Its okay because it is close, dog friendly and they have average coffee. But what is with the bare footed toddler playing near the garbage can just hanging out while his mom makes drinks? It made me nervous to step on his toes or that he was going to dig through the trash, not very relaxing to say the least. read more

I really love Katy's. The place has this great informal quirky warm and welcoming feel without sacrificing any amount of deliciousness in their coffee or pastries. It's tiny, so it's hard to zone out and ignore eachother, and there can sometimes be just one conversation among everyone there, which is so much fun. The two sandwiches I've tried weren't exactly outstanding, but all their pastries have been pretty bomb. read more

Amazing little shop with great coffee. Good community feel with a great staff!

Food and drinks are very reasonably priced. The food does take a while to prepare so just don't expect to zoom in and out.

I ordered food from here through Amazon Prime Now. I ordered three sandwiches: a turkey club on wheat, a ham breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a southwest turkey wrap. The food arrived 45 minutes after I placed my order and I live in western lower Queen Anne to give you an idea of how far my food traveled (not too far). All of the food arrived cold despite being wrapped in tin foil(!). I received a turkey, lettuce, and mayo sandwich on white bread, a ham breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel, and the saddest looking breakfast burrito I've ever seen (whether or not it contains the correct filling is TBD as my hubby hasn't taken a bite of it yet; all I know is it arrived ice cold). Sandwiches seem like the easiest thing to "cook" -- I don't know how they got this order so wrong. I don't take pleasure in writing poor reviews for local businesses, so I'm giving 3 stars when they really deserve 1.5 or 2. Maybe it's a better place experienced in person... read more

I'm not a coffee drinker by any means, but the coffee here is good and the staff is all incredibly friendly.

i typically hit up tougo. no real reason other than their coffee is really tasty. but today i was hungry, and when i walked in, i saw they were all out of pastries and sandwiches so i headed on down to katy's for the first time in a couple of years... and, wow! sure, all they had was pastries, but the sweetest, most adorable handle bar mustached barista quietly helped me out... the latte he made was absolutely perfect (and i am a bit of a snob. i drink soy, and baristas seem to have a problem heating it properly). but he was a doll! so glad i came in. i work down the street and am certain, after my experience with this fella, i will be back again soon! mmmmm! :) read more

No complaints about the coffee and treats, but I've gone several times with the Groupon deal and the baristas say they aren't set up to scan the barcode. Last time the barista said he'd still give me the deal, which was very nice, but he must have still hit the redeem button on my phone because I was charged for the Groupon in addition. Seating is very limited as well. read more

A great place to hang out with friends, study, or dog watch. Friendly staff that serves great coffee and sandwiches! I got the breakfast bagel and a mocha. Very delicious! It is definitely going to be a regular coffee place for me. read more
