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.

Chocolate Thai tea

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.

Matcha Tiramisu

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely place to grab Thai coffee and other speciality drinks! I enjoyed their unique menu and friendly service. The mango matcha was good, it did have a strange taste to it near the end. I'd come back!

Thai green tea
Danielle L.

Interior is nice with lots of seating and a back quiet work area, however I didn't enjoy the Thai green tea, and it was $9, maybe the other drinks are better

Pandan latte and chocolate Thai tea
Diana C.

This place is super cute! Their bakery was really good and their drinks were fun and unique. Both were quite tasty and well-made. The staff were very friendly and got me a bag to help carry my stuff! The ambiance is really cute and artsy. The back room looks like a great spot for working or reading. The front is good for chatting with friends. Would definitely come back!

Jongjet K.

Found this hidden gem in the city! Such a cozy spot with a great atmosphere. The coffee is top-notch, and they have some really creative signature drinks that you have to try. The owner is incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only downside is that parking can be a bit of a challenge, so plan ahead. Definitely worth the visit though!"

A religious experience....

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!!!

New cute spot with tons of seating and a nice back area to chill and talk quieter. Enjoyed the ambiance but don't think my drink brought out the full coffee profile (tangerine americano). Would swing by for another work session or hangout!

Dirty Thai Tea

Tried the Dirty Thai Tea. It was nothing special but it's a solid Thai tea with some extra caffeine!

One visit was earlier in the morning, and the place was packed. The line was nearly out the door. The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature. They serve it right with sparkling water on the side. Absolutely perfect! Out of all of the coffee spots in Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee is worth the visit for sure!

HONEY BUNCHES OF COLD BREW! GET THAT!!!…read more that is all i need to say, this coffee was soooo good. maybe because my favorite cereal is honey bunches of oats, but it is literally the coffee version of that cereal. Its nice and sweet, hints of honey, and the coffee flavor is not so strong where the bitterness overpowers the flavor. I wish they had more locations outside of Seattle, this place is truly soooo good. However, the cup is small and its a bit on the pricier side for the size you get, but its a great coffee shop to try when youre in Seattle!

The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

I wish I lived in Seattle so that I could come back and try their other tea drinks as they all look delicious and it made me so happy that they have Boba and toppings . The inside is very mid-century modern and beautiful. Lots of spaces to work from and outlets. They also have a little mini market where they sell Matcha among other things. I loved everything about my experience there and would absolutely go back. The employees were also so sweet.

Definitely a busy spot so try to come here on a weekday if you don't like waiting! (Like me..lol) The pork banh-mi is delicious here as well as the Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders. I need to get around to trying the other food options. Not the biggest fan of the spam musubi they have, it always seems over steamed to me, I wish they were made to order like the other food options! Phe is worth the hype, and worth the wait too if you decide to go on a weekend. The space is super cute and it's nice to have a space for young people to gather and hang out.

Phe Coffee has officially won me over after a couple visits…read more The first time I came was during that crazy matcha shortage, so they sold out just a couple hours after opening which, honestly, fair. I ended up trying their honeycomb coffee instead and WOW... so good. Perfectly balanced, slightly sweet, and super smooth. My boyfriend got the black sesame coffee and loved it. I'm personally not a black sesame fan, but if you are, it's definitely worth trying. The second time I came back, I finally got my hands on the earl grey matcha and OMG GET IT. It's so unique and flavorful, and everything just works together perfectly. You really taste the earl grey and the nutty matcha yumm. Only downside? Parking can be a struggle... but I'm not even kidding when I say I will parallel park every single time for that drink. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

What's amazing is theres no acidic taste ruining your beverage , just a smooth euphoric rush of caffeine coursing through your body. I normally get an iced latte to get my geyser gushing but a straight shot does happen occaisionly. Outside of the superior taste the caffeine kick back is like a NASA ROCKET BOOSTER piloting Artemis II... Now the hired hands are fined tuned & trained baristas extracting the brown juices from local roasted beans. BTW VIVACE roasts its own coffee, specializing in a Northern Italian style developed by founder David Schomer since 1992... This is why you'll love its taste... VIVACE's interior space is very large for small & medium size gatherings with a hipster eclectic taste of furnishings. Also beware free WiFi if you're a lounge lizard is available... During good weather days outside seating is available for the rare days the gods allow Seattle sun to shine down upon us. Table & chairs on sidewalk allows you front row seating to the freak show for entertainment. Not much more to say, so grab a shot of caffeine!

Parking on broadway is a bit hit or miss but you can usually find a spot either on the main street or a nearby side street.
