This Goblin loves coffee. This Goblin supports Women. Those are two reasons why you should also…read moredrink coffee here. Each barista works hard to give you exactly what you ask for. They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.

Love a coffee shop that has pour overs. Had the Rwanda Mbilima with notes of tea, red berry, and honeysuckle. It was one of the best cups of coffee I have had in awhile and I drink a pour over every morning that I make usually double the strength that coffee places will use. The barista making the coffee knew his stuff and it was nice to see someone enjoying their craft.

The cafe was quite busy in the morning having quite a bit of folks coming in and out of this small shop. The service was nice and friendly. Coffee and food came out impressively fast despite the amount of customers they were getting. Selection of drinks and breakfast items were pretty standard, but the breakfast waffle sandwich caught my eye. Ended up getting it and it was exactly what I needed to start my day. Also, the mocha coffee I got helped too. Overall, great little shop and pretty decent coffee. Love the service. Keep up the good work!

Plus, this may be the best pumpkin spice latte I've had in Seattle. So good. Not too sweet and it lets the soft notes of the delicate roast shine through. I had to go back a few days later and get some for my team at work cause it was so good. They all agreed. Also, the woman who owns it and works there most mornings is friendly and patient. She does a lot in the community too. So glad this place is here!

This cozy and compact cafe lets in just enough sunlight from its windows to feel cool regardless of the fact that the sun was shining directly at its front entrance. On the right-hand side of the cafe are drinks and some bags of Boon Boona coffee which I hear is the coffee they use here. I came during the afternoon, so most of their seasonal drinks - most of which have matcha - were sold out as the kitchen was out of fruits needed to make them. Instead, the barista at the front made me a 12-oz lightly sweetened custom lavender matcha latte with whole milk, followed by a custom strawberry matcha latte for a patron before me. Matcha isn't ceremonial by any means, but was still very refreshing and the weak grassy tones still came through despite the drink being a tad too sweet. The lone staff member was welcoming and warm, and always made sure to ask the right questions and offer suggestions and alternatives depending on what I was in the mood to have. I'll try their coffee here next time I'm in West Seattle!

There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

We picked up a couple of bags of beans from the shop, but all the credit goes to their amazing barista and owner. You can truly tell how passionate and skilled they are in their craft. We loved it so much that we visited twice, and both times the drinks were absolutely perfect (tried cappuccino and espresso with hot chocolate) The café has such a cozy, relaxing city vibe; I noticed many people upstairs reading, studying, and working. I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

The outdoor area is a great place to relax for a bit, but can get busy during the summer and is too cold in the winter when it's more of a grab and go for me on the way to work, etc. Hotwire is great from the friendly staff to the great beverages and local pastries.
