    A wonderful looking bakery case with fresh, in house made pastries!
    Alden C.

    I finally got to try Moonshot Coffee which was a bit of a challenge to accomplish because we are always in the White Center neighborhood in the evening and this coffee shop is closed by then. We instantly liked what we had here and the service was always very good on our first visit despite it being quite busy and a festival. We had some refreshing iced coffee drinks. I had an Iced Vanilla Latte which was quite good! But what really makes Moonshot unique is that their pastries are made in house from what one of the batistas said and indeed that was the impression I had after eating a cookie I purchased here. It was so very good and tasted so fresh. The cookie was a Snickerdoodle cookie. I would absolutely love to come back but it would need to be during the day and our evening meetings here prevent us from going here more often. But perhaps we may just need to fit in a day trip on a weekend to get another visit in.

    What a cute gem found on 16th street. The coffee shop was quaint and full of people on a Saturday afternoon. There are 4 tables and a bar seating. The shop was full with of greenery to give it a homie vibe. Eggnog latte was their holiday special. The drink was flavorful and a good balance of coffee vs eggnog. Lovely latte art.

    Moonshot Coffee is a solid small, coffee shop in the White Center business district. If you're looking for coffee that isn't Starbucks and want to support a small business in the area, then look no further. Moonshot Coffee will have what you're looking for. I've been to Moonshot Coffee a few times while in the area and it's always been a pleasant experience with very friendly staff here. The space inside isn't the largest, so if you're looking to work from here, get here early or visit during the latter part of the day. There are only a few tables and chairs set up. In addition to a classic coffee menu with seasonal drinks, they sell tea, pastries and have a great selection of beer, wine and other drinks in their refrigerated area. Many people come here just to get a cold beverage while in the area, so it's worth checking out if you're on the go and need to get some beer and wine. But the main reason why people come here, for the coffee, is solid. I've never had a bad drink here. Support Moonshot Coffee when you're in White Center.

    We just landed in Seattle, and stopped here on the way to meet friends. This place was everything I wanted, baristas were so lovely and helpful, the pastries were amazing, and coffee was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. We didn't need them, but the savory options looked amazing too. This was a great stop!

    Tumeric Golden Milk

    Cute shop. Customer service was good and the girl was very informative explaining the drinks. I got the golden milk and asked if it was strong in Tumeric taste and she said it was bold so I opt for that instead of the coffee. When I got it, it tasted more like just frothy milk with a hint of Tumeric. I may try the coffee options instead next time.

    Cute little coffee spot in Seattle. Came here on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. The cafe itself is quaint. Decorated in plants and looks straight from my dream Pinterest board. The staff was really welcoming and chill. They have tons of merch and items from local vendors (including free condoms for winkwink). Feel free to also bring in cans to support their local food drive. The rain will not stop me from getting my latte iced. I will quit my day job for a good cardamom latte. My go to! Check out the other drinks on their specials. The cardamom syrup they use is one of the best that I've tasted. Not too overly sweet and the flavor stands out. Located in South Seattle. Back in parking spots on the street. No indoor seating.

    Love their seasonal lavender drink. The lavender flavor is mild and is enough where it doesn't over power the matcha. The barista was friendly and the shop is very small and quaint. #supportlocalbusiness

    Cold brew mocha is smooooth I've never been to White Center but we made the trip out here looking to explore a new place for our usual coffee adventures. We ended up at moonshot after I met one of the baristas the day before who recommended we come out and give the place a shot. I was not disappointed. I'm usually a straight up iced coffee or americano guy - no calories. But something about the cold brew mocha made me think twice about how I wanna live my life. After reading the description, I could not say no. The drink is smooth, not super duper sweet or chocolaty. It's like a coffee chocolate milk that easily washes down your system. I liked it alot. We liked it alot that we came back to get another cup on the way out of town. Given covid-19, Moonshot only let's in one party at a time. That wasn't much of a problem at the hour we went.

    In love with this new coffee shop find. Coffee was fantastic and the service was phenomenal! This time around I tried the Chai with Oat milk and a Vanilla Latte with Soy Milk. Both drinks were very smooth and perfect amount of caffeine. Next time I would like to try some of the baked goods and breakfast sandwiches because they all looked really good.

    It's a quiet and snug, plant filled coffee shop that provides a peaceful place to work. They have great coffee with a nice selection of food and alcohol and a very friendly staff.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made…read morecardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but it was 50/50 for me. The weekend special Reuben croissant…read morewas fantastic but the breakfast burrito was not great. Also, the menu on the wall is not super helpful because there are no prices listed for the base breakfast sandwich or prices for additional fillings or toppings. So if you don't ask for prices or look online (there's a QR code on the menu, I apparently skipped over this when ordering), you might end up spending a good chunk of change for your breakfast sandwich. It's around $8.75 for the base (bread, eggs, cheese) + $2ish per filling/meat + $1-3 per topping + Sauces are $0.50 Reuben croissant: asked for this warmed and the outside of the croissant was flaky and delicious, meat was yum, sauerkraut added a nice texture and acidity, and there was a sauce in there was was tasty too! Really enjoyed this one Super burrito: comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, black beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. It was tough to find the bacon or taste it because it was cut in small pieces. The black beans were sweet and they overpowered the whole thing with sweetness. The arugula didn't add much and was kind of annoying because it was clumped in one bite and hard to chew through. The size was great, but that's about it unfortunately.

    We visited this branch of Bakery Nouveau, hoping to snag some paczki since we forgot to preorder…read morefor Fat Tuesday (or as Michiganders know it, Paczki Day). Per the cashier, unlike previous years, where they often sold Paczki for several weeks leading up to the celebration, this year, they will only have them on Tuesday. Apparently every single one is handmade by the owner, Pâtissier William Leaman, and this year, he's been too busy with the 2026 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie competition as the US team's coach. That's certainly a great excuse! When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon a bit after lunch, this place was still quite busy with a line that stretched to the door, but not outside. As with the Burien location, I find the ordering process to be a bit of a pain; while there are plenty of workers to help, ordering is slowed due to the fact that the display cases are placed in a line and there's not much room in the building to maneuver to the desired display. In our case, while we had someone helping us all the way in the back of the line, we weren't able to select anything until we got all the way to the pastry case in the front. I'm not sure there's a good way to solve this conundrum, though. At any rate, we ended up only getting a single pastry (that was new to us) to try this time. Brown Sugar Pecan Brioche ($5) - This pastry looks like a glistening pecan sticky bun at first glance, with a cinnamon roll-like pinwheel structure and a brown sugar glazed pecan topping. Since it's brioche, I expected it to be dense, but soft, rich, and sweet. This bread is anything but. It's dense, dry, crumbly, almost clay-like in mouthfeel; basically everything brioche should not be. Instead of a sticky caramelized coating over the pecans, the pecans are glued on with only the thinnest of sugar coatings. The pastry doesn't claim to be a sticky bun, so it gets a pass there. Unfortunately the base layer is absolutely terrible, by far the worst "brioche" I've eaten in years. It has all the flavor of hard tack with the unpleasant mouthfeel of Play-Doh. Canned Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are far better than this waste of perfectly good ingredients. The owner should be ashamed to release this swill to the public. (1/5) Why am I giving Bakery Nouveau a 5? Because they serve some of the best twice baked croissants known to man. The Capitol Hill location is my go to for a sweet and buttery treat and I still recommend it to everyone that visits me, specifically for the almond and chocolate twice baked croissants. The paczki are no slouches either; probably the best we can get around Seattle. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Note: There will be some walk in availability for paczki on Tuesday, but the cashier told me that they will likely sell out by 10AM. Looks like an early morning trip to the Capitol Hill location is in my near future.
