This place is a cool concept and I wish that the drinks were a bit better for the price. It's a bit pricey for what you are getting. However I love their vibe and the whole space and the workers are nice and we got a free tomato plant. read more

Cute lil coffee shop with the sweetest community vibes. I went on a Thursday mid-morning, and there was a fair amount of people there! I got the Year of the Horse and a grilled cheese croissant. The tea was refreshing, although I'm not sure I would get it again; there's some chance I don't like the taste of longan tea, haha. The grilled cheese croissant was phenomenal. I believe they source their pastries from a local baker, and it is one of the best laminated pastries I've ever had. The exterior was crispy, the layers were moist, and the cheese and everything-but-the-bagel seasoning worked well together. They also have lots of community events going on, and I am hoping I can check one out soon! Highly recommend. read more

Nudibranch Coffee - Year of the Horse and grilled cheese croissant. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute cafe with Thai inspiration located on Capitol Hill near Seattle University. Ample space and tables to do work or meet a friend. The space feels very tranquil and calm. I was initially drawn to their previous menus posted on Yelp. I didn't realize that the menu is rotating! I ordered a sticky rice mango matcha for myself and a vanilla latte for my husband. Both were very delicious. Definitely recommend stopping by for some nice Thai inspired coffee. I hope to be in the area with their next updated menu! read more

I believe this is the first Thai coffee shop in Seattle. How cool is that???? We ordered the chocolate Thai tea and the burnt banana latte. They accidentally gave us the latte iced even though we ordered it hot so they had to make another drink and we got to keep the iced version as well. We liked the drinks we got. I love that another Asian coffee shop is in Seattle! There's tons of seating at this shop. It seems pretty chill so you can relax, study, or even work there if you'd like! When it's sunny, you'll get plenty of natural sunlight! read more

Nudibranch is a new Thai style coffee shop and a welcome addition to the Seattle coffee scene. To get here, there is street parking directly in front of the shop and all around the area. Inside, they have an open setup with a solid amount of seating filled with plants and natural light. For their menu, they have some unique Thai-inspired drinks to choose from. I ended up getting the Chocolate Thai Tea and we really enjoyed the flavors in it. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. read more

Welcome to Seattle, nudibranch! The newest coffee shop on the block is Thai woman owned and their drinks and pastries are Thai inspired. From burnt banana latte to coconut cloud, their drinks invite innovation to the coffee scene. The jasmine syrups and banana syrups (the ones from the Thai inspired menu) are housemade. If you want something more classic, they also offer your typical selection of coffee drinks and syrups (organic but not housemade). They roast their own coffee and use beans from Thailand, which supports local farmers. I forgot to take a photo of their pastry case but they had a number of croissants, danishes, and homemade poptarts and sugar cookies. I asked the staff a lot of questions about their products and they were very knowledgeable and patient. Today they were handing out samples of their green tea tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious. I would spend good money for that and I couldn't believe I got it for free! Nudibranch also hosts other events, like air clay sculpting, cake decorating, temporary tattoos etc. which is so cool. They have a large sitting area and free wifi and clean bathrooms which makes studying here a breeze. Super helpful since it's right across the Seattle university campus! Easy to commute to via light rail too. Can't wait to be back and try the rest of their menu. read more

This place has a lot of Thai-inspired drinks and I happened to find it through social media so O decided to go on a Friday afternoon after work around 3pm to check it out. This is in Cap Hill so street parking is advised if going by car. It's minimal and clean inside with seating in a main area - which was completely full except for window seating - and a back room with a bunch more seating. For this visit I got their chocolate Thai tea, which looks to be Thai tea with a chocolate syrup swirl around most of the cup. It's pretty standard for Thai tea but the chocolate accentuated the sweet that the drink already had. It's like these two basic flavors found each other or something like that! All this and a relatively quiet interior despite the fact that sounds reverberates easily inside made a great experience here. The drink I had was definitely not enough to fully advertise this place well, so I'll need to make a return visit for their other features drinks. read more

Nudibranch Coffee - Chocolate Thai tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Nudibranch Coffee has an experienced owner at the helm (worked at Starbucks) and supports and brought sustainable, single origin beans from the Chaing Mai region in Thailand. She partnered with a fave, Kuma Coffee, to roast these single origin beans. Loved seeing the process & logistics of bag design, cupping, tastings, having community feedback documented via IG. The indie cafe also has a strong, supportive network via collaborations, cross pollination between other owners and businesses to make the leap to a brick and mortar located on Seattle's Capitol Hill (12th and Madison) and proximate to Seattle University. I spent time onsite for over an hour to experience the energetic vibe during the grand opening. Determination, visionary, sharp business acumen in a coffee centric city. Bright, airy, love the detailed artwork. I enjoyed my iced Chocolate Thai Tea and warmed up pain au chocolat. There's Thai inspired bevs, espresso bevs, baked goods, and their signature coffee roasts available for purchase. A variety of seating with tables out front, adjacent window counter seating, and a back room with additional seating. read more

This is such a beautiful place and one of my favorite new cafes. Tons of seating in the front with a varied seating in the back that's decorated beautifully with hanging curtains and mood lighting. The pandan latte was a very good recommendation. The staff is very nice and lenient with discounts if you're a college student! One thing is the wifi is a bit iffy so hotspot might be a necessary backup. read more

Nudibranch Coffee - Back area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS new Thai inspired coffee shop in town! I really love what they did with the space. There is so much seating in the front, and even more in the back space that they have. I love the ambiance and the natural light that fills the space. It's a very cozy environment that I can see myself working or studying in comfortably. Upon entering, I was greeted very kindly by the baristas who were all extremely friendly and gave great drink recommendations! I tried the Tangerine Americano which was delicious! I'm not much of an espresso person but I felt that the tangerine really balanced it out nicely. I had to go back for another drink so I also tried the Thai Iced Tea which was also a banger! Not too sweet which I like! I can't wait to return to try more of the menu. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Definitely worth the visit though!" read more

Nudibranch Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

New aquafauna-named Thai Coffee place with unique coffee beverages that do not sugar-crash you! Really excellent space and ambience!!! I recommend the chocolate Thai tea latte!!! Long review: Unlike Vietnamese coffee (that I also love passionately,) these drinks have more subdued but equally delicious flavors with less insane sugar content. We had the chocolate Thai tea latte, and the burnt banana latte. Both were not overpoweringly sweet (shocked!) but had relatively complex flavors. You can really taste each flavor note of the drinks, the chocolate Thai tea especially impressed me with the way both flavors stood out. Ambience is really great. The area is spacious, good lighting and quiet enough to really get some work done. Staff is lovely!! I do recommend if you like specialty drinks, apparently they are seasonal!!! read more

Opening day! Interesting blend of Thai inspired coffee drinks. Pastries were fresh and tasty. Small business in a good corner location on Capitol Hill in Seattle! Sampled the burnt banana latte, with oat milk. It was warm, subtle and not sickly sweet. Staff was friendly and the whole space felt warm, "neighborhoody" and on a busy opening day!

I love the chill friendly vibes. The jasmine coffee is my favorite. I will for sure be coming back.

Everything that I've tried from this cafe so far has been stellar. The coffee is smooth and prepared well; I've had the pandan latte and the burnt banana latte and both exceeded my expectations. The pandan latte had a great depth of flavor, the burnt banana latte didn't taste at all artificial. The grilled cheese and guava poptart croissants were both flaky, buttery, and tasty. This cafe is trying very hard to be a third space for folks; it seems like a great place to study and the events they are holding are cozy and community-oriented. The wifi is fast, the seating area is comfy. The staff are attentive and treat you like people; it really feels like a space designed for the people of Capitol Hill. The place where I have to deduct a star, however, are the prices. I want to make this cafe a regular stop before work, but I can't justify paying $7.25 for a 12 oz specialty latte and $10 for a croissant on a daily basis when other spaces nearby are cheaper. Everything is hard right now for everyone so I can't see them dropping their prices, but as it stands currently Nudibranch will be a once-a-month trip for a community event rather than a once-a-week expense. I really hope this space is able to become affordable to the folks around Capitol Hill that it's clearly designed for. Edit: forgot to mention the owner is the sweetest person possibly in the whole world? She's super community-minded and I see her often interacting with patrons around the cafe. I'm really rooting for this space to succeed! read more

Cute cafe with some really yummy specialty drinks! Also a great space to hang out with tons of seating. Will definitely be coming back!

The grand opening of this cafe was something I looked forward to this year!!! Bringing more Thai culture exchange to Seattle through what we love most (Coffee!!). I've tried everything within their special menu and can confidently say it hits. every. time. Their Jasmine Latte is my absolute favorite, never had anything like it before! The smooth taste of creamy espresso that is gently followed by the floral of Jasmine is a divine combination. The team and store owner Emily have such harmony together and bring a special energy of community within their cozy store that has a beautiful study room which brings modern and vintage tones of aesthetics (great for a nice photo). This place and people are absolutely wonderful and I'm so proud of all their hard work to make this dream come true and bring connection to the community. Make sure you take a quick trip here while visiting Capitol Hill neighborhood !!! read more
