What people may not know is that they serve breakfast/brunch that is similar to what I use to have and miss when Cafe Presse was around. Pair it with a raspberry mimosa or not but I do. Hopefully in the summer there is more outdoor dining since my dog is usually in tow as we usually walk into town together.

We had hot Matcha Latte and the CATE breakfast sandwich…read more The CATE breakfast sandwich was only ok with very little flavor. The Matcha Latte had insufficient matcha flavor and was only lukewarm. For the breakfast sandwich and latte, I would give this place 1-2 stars. However, the atmosphere was good/comfortable for us to hang and chat with our friends. Due to the location and atmosphere, will give this place one more try.

Stopped by here for a late lunch and fortunately I wasn't hungry because the wait was long and the…read moreportions were small. It was definitely a disappointment since I've always had good pastries and cookies from other Macrina Bakery locations and thought this would be a great lunch spot. I ordered the chicken pot pie and it took almost 20 minutes to receive despite there not being a ton of other customers at the time (unclear if they had to assemble it before baking, but I was a little confused by the wait time). It was so slow that when I went to ask an employee for a utensil, they asked if I was coming to ask where my food was (so they were aware). The pot pie itself was flavorful and the crust was flaky, but the portion size was on the smaller side. I'll come back for pastries another time but unfortunately this was not a wow-worthy first experience for this location!

We visited Shawn's Bakery on Mercer Island for a Sunday lunch. It's a cute little spot, but be…read moreaware that there are only a few outdoor seats. The bakery was quite busy, with a steady stream of customers. The selection was a bit limited when we arrived, possibly because it was late on a Sunday. We ordered a turkey panini and a coffee. The panini was perfectly toasted with nicely melted cheese, though I wished it had more fillings. I also found the coffee to be on the bitter side. We want to come back to try their challah and pretzel rolls next time!

I used to be a regular at Coffeeholic and brought a lot of visitors here. However, the last two…read moretimes I went, I got a stomachache and so did my friend who was visiting Seattle. I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.

At first, I wanted the egg toast with avocado, but they only serve it with soft eggs, so I went with the avocado toast instead and really enjoyed it. I also had a black Americano, which was great.

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.
