    Only place around UW that has lotus (other is Seafab) AND it's a drive thru. Came here midday so there wasn't any traffic and only one car ahead of me. A couple quirks about the stand- they are cash only and have a 4 drink minimum. Kind of weird. Came here on a 70° day craving a cold drink. I have a very particular drink order- pink lotus with passion fruit, strawberry, mango & a splash of OJ. $6.95 for a 24 oz. Not bad. I like my drinks a little more carbonated but the drink tasted great! Service was friendly. Ambiance- can't really rate because it's a drive thru. Small stand on a lot. Get your drink and leave LOL Overall giving a 4 because it's more expensive than SeaFab and a little bit further from campus. Convenient drive thru. Nice though that my drink tastes similiar to up north.

    I've been going to Muddy Waters for years. I used to work on Wedgewood back in 2008/09 and stopped by this stand then. My kids come here now. Victoria is my girl, we also have something fun to talk about and she's always happy to see me. The drinks are fantastic and they have all flavors of lotus - the natural 'red bull' so I go for one when I need some caffeine and don't want coffee. I drive from the Central District just to this stand in Ravenna. It's worth it! Thanks, Victoria!

    I really enjoy a lot of the other gals professionalism and friendliness but Katie really has it down.

    I stumbled into Fuel Coffee & Books on a morning when the whole neighborhood was still buzzing from…read morea 5K race, so the place was packed. Like, "good luck finding a quiet corner" packed. But honestly? The energy worked. The staff was moving with that calm, unbothered flow only seasoned baristas have. Friendly, attentive, and somehow keeping the line moving without making anyone feel rushed. Respect. Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

    I had a DELICIOUS, smooth cold brew here. The nonfiction book selection is small, but well-curated…read more There are clean, plentiful, well-spaced out tables. I'll definitely be back with my laptop to get some work done!

    I am staying at a hotel two blocks away and needed a snack and warm beverage before my dinner and…read morethe hotel recommended Leon coffee house. I looked up their yelp page as well as their Instagram and knew I had to come just to get one of their lattes with their amazing foam art! They have a variety of waffles and sandwiches on the menu that seemed appetizing however because I got here after 3:30 the kitchen was closed but they have a variety of pre-made burritos and sandwiches that you could still buy. I love that they have a huge variety of non-dairy milks including soy which is my favorite. I wanted to get the turmeric latte however I mentioned that I couldn't wait to see the foam art and the Baristas told me that due to the light color of the latte, it would be difficult to see the foam art so I instead ordered the red velvet latte with soy and it was as delicious as it was cute! I also got the egg and sausage cheese burrito and it was chock full of eggs and sausage... very filling. The decor and seating options are plentiful upstairs and downstairs. They also have free pineapple infused water for guests to drink which I appreciate. Seems like a popular spot for UW students to do work as there are lots of outlets for their laptops.

I was surprised that the cake was so cheap around $4 but after the first bite, it tasted like it was from a Safeway bakery, which made me feel a bit scammed. The latte was a very light roast, so the coffee flavor was barely noticeable and it felt more like drinking hot milk. On the positive side, the servers were sweet and friendly. It took about 5-7 minutes to get our drinks, and the place was packed around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.
