    The drip coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic. In addition, Thomas and Adrienne are personable, making you want to come back.

    One of my new favorite places to study/work in Seattle! There is a ton of indoor and outdoor…read moreseating. The outside seating was a little warm for me, but there is AC inside. The WiFi is fast. The only downside is there aren't many power outlets. The drip coffee was great. You can get it in a mug and refill it for I believe $0.80. Super convenient for those spending some time in the cafe, like me! I also really enjoyed the egg and cheese sandwich I got. I like that the bread is foccacia - I feel like this is unique for a breakfast sandwich. The space itself is very tidy. You bus your own table, but someone also comes by regularly to clean the tables. There is also a clean bathroom. Street parking only, so you might have to park a little further during busy hours. There are sooo many pastries that I want to try, so I will be back!

    Aw unfortunately, after all the planning coming to this location, we didn't have the best…read moreexperience :( It was supposed to be a nice one because we were celebrating. Parking wasn't that easy but we made it 10 minutes later. Car was extremely hot after coming back. Look at the right side when coming inside Menu is there. Some thing would be gone by mid-day. Coffe was good as well as the quinoa salad and the pizza round. The best was the mushroom sandwich. The down side was the breakfast sandwich. OMG, what's in it?? It's a mix of something like egg cause it is orange in a square shape. I guess is that "liquid egg" mix. Which most of the times isn't egg. Had some poppy seeds? And then realized: could it be the vegeterian version? Why calling it egg then?? The smell was the opposite of appetizing. I ordered them for children and they had some flakes. Not a big deal this, but I wouldn't recommend something that simple on paper, but not in plate. 3 small tables downstairs in the middle of the hall. Seating is extended upstairs. Cool inside. Very warm outside during summer. Water stations on both stories. Staff was OK. They won't answer back even when only waiting for a sandwich to come out of the oven. This was hilarious. Not even at Starbucks. The big "but" for my party is going with kids. Having to take them down and upstairs everytime when ordering or picking up stuff. Because, let me tell you, there is a lack of empathy at this place. You'll have to sort it out with a baby and toddler on one hand, and tray, cups, utensils, second tray, coffee, salad, and miscellaneous on the other hand. Yes...you read right. And bringing all upstairs on as many rounds as you can. While baristas (3 baristas to make coffee and warm sandwiches) were chatting. The bright side: 2 were preparing food for next day :) Fortunately, another patron came to the rescue. She was chatting with their party and was a great samaritan for standing up, helping with the door, and bringing one of the trays. Tip: let water run a bit in yhe restroom. I got burned. I guess it was a bit stalled and sun didn't help :( Price and tip are not cheap! Would I come back? Definitely no!

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.

    June-uary came real hard on Seattle when I got here on a rainy Monday around 3:30pm. This is on…read moreAirport Way which I pass by countless times on my way to Chinatown, and I'm surprised I didn't notice this place until I looked at my IG feeds! It shares a parking lot with what looks like a defunct Rainier Beer Brewery building, though parking here was nearly packed near this location when I got here. Interior is very pink, very cute and very casual with semi-loud music and an environment that invites the laptop crowd to crowd in but without as much strength. There's also a drive-thru here, and the two baristas working the counter were super efficient dividing their time between the orders there and the orders coming from regular cafe patrons like myself! They were also pretty patient with me and other customers after me as I was still deciding what i wanted. They offer a wide variety of options from their signature coffees to healthier drinks and even some pastries and merch. You can get their drinks in various sizes, and the larger the size the more espresso shots it will have. With that said, I got their 16oz (2 shots of espresso) iced toffee butter macchiato with regular milk, and I could feel the espresso hitting me as I quickly downed the drink like I usually do. There's a little bit of sweetness from the caramel and toffee, and of course a strong caramel touch that actually stays on level with their coffee, which doesn't take over any of the taste added in. What a nice coffee place to stop at along a road that I travel often! I would so grab another one of their signature drinks when I come back here.

I had the monte cristo savory crepe recently and it was DELICIOUS. I also highly recommend the ever changing coffee cake, it is so so good! Get that and a POG mimosa! On the weekends they have a rotating hashbrown casserole that is a must if you are there! (Get there early because it sells out fast!) Too many good things about this place to list. Definitely worth going here for breakfast. The food, beverages, and especially the service are amazing and just wonderful. Looking forward to the next time I get to enjoy the delicious food at Hangar!

I think there were less than 15 tables so it seemed strange that it would take that long but decided to try it anyway. The setting for this cafe is pretty nice so we were anticipating an equally good experience with service and food. The food took 1 hour and 20 minutes from when we places our order to when it arrived.. the server was very nice and offered free drinks but at that point we wanted to just have our meal and leave. It was even more disappointing when we tasted the food and found it mediocre. The crepe we ordered was undercooked on the inside. We probably could have gone grocery shopping and whipped this up for less time and money. The prices are pretty high considering that they're serving breakfast food. We really wanted to like this place :(

The space is nice and clean, with a section of cute giftable items that were very tempting. My coffee was delicious. Not overly sweet which I was relieved about because I normally do half sweet but I forgot to request that. Still was yum & not too sugary! It was perfect with oat milk. 1 star off because as others have mentioned, customer service could be better. The barista taking my order seemed a little impatient or bored (Gen Z vibes). The cashier was nice at least! It's also unclear where people should line up/order. The person in front of me was confused and the person behind me was as well. Might need to rearrange their counter set up or add signage.

    I stopped in here to work for a few hours and had a great experience…read more I ordered a London Fog and requested that they add their seasonal lavender pear syrup. They let me know that the London fog comes as a concentrate and offered to use slightly less concentrate so that it wouldn't be too sweet with the additional syrup. I was a little skeptical of the fact that they make it from a concentrate because. I feel like a London fog is hard to mess up if you know how to brew tea, but I decided to try it anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised. While it didn't have a strong earl grey flavor, the drink was delicious and still tasted like a London fog and the lavender pear syrup was lovely. It has plenty of seating and is a great place to work from with a decent amount of outlets. Super friendly staff and I loved the dine in mug.
