They water down the cold brew, paid $6 after tip for a 16 oz and didn't get me caffeinated... won't be coming back and don't recommend

Lovely corner cafe with friendly staff, tasty food and great coffee. Even better, they're dog friendly! We saw a few doggies lounging inside and outside, giving this place an even friendlier vibe than it already had. We shared their famous breakfast bagel: egg, cheese, your choice of bagel. It is made to order so you have to be patient but it's worth it. read more

This rating is just a reflection of poor signage. I was scolded for not having a mask. I was trying to be polite and waiting outside I thought they would be able to charge me outside for my drinks. This ended up being the instruction. I'm not an anti-masker but this was very rude. read more

I want to go to there. I don't come often enough, but when I do, it's like stepping into a friend's kitchen, hey, can I get you something to drink? We chat while she makes me some delicious coffee, toasts me a bagel, I pet the dogs, I chat with the other people around the tables. I love living in the city especially when a place like this gives me all the comfort of a small town coffee shop. read more

Katy's Corner Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I like the space and like the free WiFi. I love the quirky local art for sale. The barista was friendly. The service was a tad slow, but I don't mind that when I have an interesting space to occupy. The coffee wasn't the best I'd ever had. It wasn't the worst either. The douche who thought it was cool to berate the barista and talk loudly about himself did not color my review. He did, however, lower my opinion of douches. read more

A lovely neighborhood gem, you might miss it if you blink, but don't blink because it's worth a stop. Stellar service and delicious coffees, haven't had the pleasure of eating here, but I am going to next time I'm here. read more

Randomly stumbled onto this little charming corner cafe 3 blocks away from a friend's place. This is how I've imagined cafe in Seattle would be like - friendly service, fresh pastries, and solid java. No frills. Just plain goodness with really laid back attitude. The place is cozy (translate small) but it has a lot of foot traffic with folks from the neighborhood dropping by with their dogs or on their way to work. But there are a few tables with stools if you need to sit down to write your yelp reviews, or just get reconnected with yourself in peace over a cup of coffee. Definitely a neighborhood gem. read more

Good people serving good coffee and tasty sandwiches! Try the everything bagel breakfast sandwich it will satisfy and keep you full for the day! read more

Great hot sandwiches and breakfast bagels, and delicious lattes! Always friendly staff. I love coming here!

I'm on vacation.. It's early.. I'm grumpy. I'm the first one up so why not make the morning coffee run. This was the closest shop with the best reviews, so I made the stumble over. Greeted with a warm welcome and smile, my frown turned upside down. Great java selection to choose from to fit just about everyone's taste buds. This quickly went from a " grab and go" to a " grab and chill". Before I knew it everyone in my party met me there to grab their own cup. Relaxing environment, definitely on my list for great coffee spots in Seattle. read more

Super friendly people work here! I used to come here a lot more often but slowed down after COVID. I stopped by today and am glad to hear that they are staying busy! They have super delicious baked goods especially espresso cake. Highly recommended! read more

The club was great! Super fast service. The guy who works there is also super cute. Will defiantly go back for my morning coffee.

Love it! Met Katy this morning and she is extremely friendly! Katy makes all sandwiches and baked goods by hand. She was making some quiche like items while I was there. She also handmade my breakfast sandwiches in don't if me. The process takes a little longer, but is totally worth it. Best breakfast sandwich I've had in a while. We also bought a piece of her blueberry banana bread - super moist and delicious! Go here for a quick bite and some solid coffee! read more

Just had a bagel sandwich and oat milk latte. Both were great! The bagel sandwich was large and filling - they didn't skimp on the fillings. The latte was strong and tasty. They'll keep me fueled for hours as I tackle some spring cleaning projects! read more

I had a bagel and cream cheese. There were at least 5 people in line at 10 am on a Monday morning. Popular place! The owner's child was running around jumping up on high chairs which made me a little nervous. People's dogs were snapping at each other which was a little awkward, too. The customer service was excellent and so was the bagel!. I'll be back for coffee and an update. read more

Great local cafe!! Coffee and wonderful and good is good too!! Friendly people who love dogs too!! They allow them inside and have treats read more

Was staying close by on a trip to Seattle and this quaint coffee shop immediately caught my eye on the way into the downtown. I was looking for a quick breakfast to get me on my way and Katy's delivered! Ordered the small spicy chai and a breakfast sandwich. Chai had a nice balance of creamy and spicy and the breakfast sandwich was filling but not excessive. Probably will stop by again! read more

Katy's Corner Cafe - Small chai and breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. The staff and patrons are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. People sit with their dogs and bring their kids. It's on a bright corner, with big windows. The vanilla soy latte is great, and the club sandwich is scrumptious and cheap. Free wifi. Highly recommended. I *love* this place. read more

We just walked to the closest place to our Airbnb, & we got some solidly good coffee- but also a big smile & a great attitude. In a city of coffee hipsters, this lady seems to just love making good coffee for peeps. Thanks for breaking the ice on the Seattle Freeze! read more

Just an awesome spot, really glad they're open right now. I'd walked and driven by a thousand times and wanted to stop in, and seriously - it's well worth it. Lovely people, very tasty fresh-baked goods (my banana bread was still warm when I got it this morning!) and even though I usually don't like sweet drinks, their vanilla chai is absolutely incredible. SO, so good. I've also heard their breakfast sandwiches are great, so I'll have to try those soon! read more

This is what I love about neighborhood coffee shops, the staff is friendly, the food is fresh and the coffee isn't overdone. You can grab a latte to go or sit and snack on your breakfast bagel sandwich. If you're a regular, the staff knows your name and your "usual". I had the macchiato (2 shots of espresso and foam), rich and strong. I also got to try the cold brew which I would also recommend. And the breakfast bagel has cheese and cream cheese (along with egg and ham or whatever meat you want)... YASSS! read more

The food was really good. I ordered it from postmates after I flopped on my midterm and it was the yummiest thing. I got a bagel sandwich with ham egg and cheese and with it came coffee banana and cookie. the bagel was just excellent. it made me feel better after my test. the cookie is also superb, I am eating it now. the cookie is baked so well, it's delectable. just perfect. the coffee was good too and I don't even LIKE coffee!!! and they added a cute handwritten "katy's" with some hearts and stars. added to the whole vibe. overall 7/5, yummy food that gave me happiness. thank you Katy read more

Great customer service! I came in with my kids 10 minutes till close and they were more than happy to take me. I ordered a hot chocolate with hemp milk. It was delicious! They made a effort to converse while we waited and still continued to close. It was a great find for us so we will be back! read more

Loved this little local spot. Friendly neighborhood shop where people actually talk to each other. When I asked for a breakfast sandwich without bagel they made me a fresh ham and cheese scramble even though there was nothing like that on the menu! It was delicious. You need to drop in and stay a while, have a conversation, and a few cups of coffee. Love it! read more

Warm, welcoming, & friendly Katy provides it all -good drinks & delicious homemade treats or breakfast sandwich. All are high quality! If you're in a hurry you need to come here to chill-ax before you start your day! read more

Pros: Friendly staff, great Central location, excellent quality drinks and food Cons: Very little seating, can be addictive :) Perfect neighborhood coffee shop. We stayed at a nearby AirBnB in late April 2017 and discovered this gem right away. The three of us are pretty predictable: americano, vanilla latte, chai latte. All three of us thought these were some of the best of those drinks we have ever had. In addition, the breakfast sandwich was very tasty - although, having egg, cheese and ham on a bagel every day for a week is not great on the belly size. Highly recommend you stop by and relax for a bit. read more

I don't normally write reviews but felt compelled. Good food, good coffee, very mixed service. The guy working the counter was very helpful and friendly but when I asked for an open face breakfast bagel sandwich (tryin to cut down on those carbs) the women helping me gave me a "Really?". Bathroom was locked for 15/20 min (Almost positive there was no one in there and someone had accidentally locked it). When I inquired about it, the same women just shrugged it off "Nothing I can do". TL;DR Go for the coffee not for the service. read more

My partner and I frequent here often and we absolutely love it! Best coffee and chai in the area, and they have made-to-order sandwiches that are fresh and delicious! The sandwiches are made with love, so expect to wait a little longer than average for them to be ready--totally worth the extra time. I recommend the BLT, adding pesto and cucumber. The workers are very friendly and know many of the patrons by name as many live in the neighborhood and visit Katy's often. I remember sitting in the window one Saturday afternoon and an older lady just stopped in to say hello and bask in the ambience of the place for a bit. She had just had recovered from surgery and Katy's was the first place she had ventured out to after being cooped up for some time. If you've watched Gilmore Girls, this is your Luke's Diner. It's definitely ours! read more

I am staying at an air bnb across the street. I woke up early and walked over to this tiny little cafe for coffee. It seemed like a bunch of regulars that were having good conversation. It was seriously tiny and I loved that about it, it's really like everybody is sitting around together. The coffee is great, the environment is awesome. read more

12:45 is the middle of lunch hour yet only one person is working. I walked in and was greeted but told that it will be a minute so I put my things down at a chair. 5 minutes later someone else comes in. Literally 10 minutes later the next order is taken and it's not mine even though I was there before the other person. So if you want your order taken, expect to have to literally stand there in front of counter doing nothing for at least 10 minutes. Then wait another eternity for the food itself. read more

Katy's Corner is the best! Great portions /prices by Seattle standards. Also, the employees are always so nice. Never change!

The cookies are delicious and they have treats for your fur friend! If you become a regular then they learn your usual order. The longer I go here the more I enjoy it. read more

What a great coffee shop! Friendly staff, great coffee, and they even give my dog treats through the window sometimes. As a bonus, they take phone orders for take-way/pick-up and are on Postmates for delivery. read more

Katy's is a marvelous little neighborhoody coffee shop that serves up consistently solid bean. The clientele is entertainingly diverse: Stroller-pushing moms, web startup geeks (e.g. me), a few unfortunate folks who sometimes skip their meds and Capitol Hill hipsters in skinny jeans and Urban Outfitters hats. The lovely Katy and the other baristas are relaxed, funny, conversational and in control. Katy's feels like a true place, an honest and friendly place, The burner on which a wonderful melting pot simmers. read more

Katy's is a truly wonderful neighborhood coffee house. The baristas greet eager caffeine junkies (or weekends-only half-caf junkies like this reformer) with the kind of sweetness I have been searching for in my hood. The vibe that Katy's puts out into the universe is enough for me to feel truly transported away from reality back to the indy coffee house I worked in in small town Minnesota before work and life obligations were even a glimmer in a college girl's eye. Sigh. Back to Katy's: the drinks are fairly consistent (hence the 4 stars), the space is welcoming and they have an all-you-can eat brunch one Sunday a month. Can't beat that! read more

Update: They now offer white coffee! Other than Sureshot in the University district, this is the only place I know of in Seattle that offers it. It's beans that aren't as fully roasted, so they have significantly more caffeine. The flavor is much more mild, though, so if you order it make sure you get it with flavored syrup or it'll be really bland. I remember Sureshot having mentioned that but they only offer it in conjunction with syrup and I forgot, so I ordered one without syrup and it was like drinking heavily caffeinated soymilk. read more

They remember your drink. This is good. Their Chai is powdered. This is bad. They have Brunch. This is good. The close early. This is bad. Katy's is my neighborhood coffee shop, and I shall defend it's honor in a joust, should it come to that. Some of THE nicest people work here and it's always great to have someone smile and say hello in the morning, as I am always angry in the morning. read more

Katy's is the kind of place I always look for when looking for a coffeeshop. Hip, yet friendly, non-pretentious. Sincerely friendly. Great cuppa, too! If I lived near Katy's, I might be in danger of getting into a rut! A cozy, content little rut... I could live with that! read more

Small, cute, homey (by which I mean somewhat crowded and not terribly well-organize counter display). It's a cozy place to have a cup of coffee while you wait for you kid to finish at Meter, the music school a block away. My barista was eating his lunch as I came in, which made me feel a bit like I was interrupting. The coffee itself was tasty, and perfectly adequate without knocking me off my feet - not too burnt, not too light-bodied, and well-balanced. Katy's is probably closest to what you would experience if your own living room were a public coffee house, I think. read more

I've been here a couple of times. I'm not going to lie, I don't really remember how my coffee was. This was before my yelping days. What I do remember is the excellent customer service I received! Katy was super nice, and it kind of took me by surprise how genuinely interested she was in the mundane details of my day. That's enough for me to recommend it to people who actually do go out for coffee. :) Sidenote: My friend visits often now due to my recommendation, and says the coffee is great. read more
