Sometimes I come here while my car is across the street in the shop. I have always thought that their food items were HELLU overpriced. Their breakfast sandwich is literally $13 for a $5 sandwich. Today I had a simple drip coffee. This was $5.77 Then, you notice a jar for tips, and it has a sign that says, "You have already tipped, but jar is for more tips if you want to" So, yeah.... This means already damn expensive items having tipping built on top of the pricing, and the biggest issue is that you are tipping without your own choice, AND it is done before you have even received ANY service. Wait a minute.. there actually IS NO SERVICE. You order at counter. You operate the card reader yourself. The woman behind counter lifts a coffee pot, and pours it into your cup. That is literally all she does. Then you... go to the other counter to add your own cream. Nobody has come to my table to ask me if I want anything else, or how is everything, etc. Don't correct to clear your own table, because they have it set up for you to do that to. I forgot to mention the creamer was spoiled, so the coffee was not drinkable. read more

Preserve and Gather - Drip coffee with spoiled creamer. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Visiting from CA, this was brief walk down the street from where I was staying. The cold wind and grey skies made everything on the menu pop out as comforting and delicious and the staff was friendly and patient while I looked at their display of baked goods and finally decided on the ham biscuit. It's a decent amount of biscuit with large chunks of ham and there plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the morning that isn't hustle and bustling like in downtown. I walked further to the metro bus stop down the street and was tempted to check the local dispensary on the next block but ran out of time. Will come back with friends, plenty of coffee dates and conversation were happening within but this solo adventure was just as enjoyable. read more

Preserve and Gather - Ham and Jam Biscuits - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a very enjoyable time here last Saturday. We arrived around 1pm and there were a handful of people gathered at tables, but we had choice for seating. Which I will say right off were all quite uncomfortable options. I wish the yellow benches at least had pillows or something. But moving on. The atmosphere is very Greenwood. Down to earth, relaxed, welcoming. I really liked some of the decor choices, like the blue geometric shaped wallpaper. I am very surprised by the hours here as well. 7:30am-2:30pm is such a narrow window, IMO. But clearly they do well enough with these hours to stay open. The food we got exceeded expectations, but I was a bit surprised they didn't heat it or offer to before giving it to us. Like, my sister got this delicious jam biscuit thing with cheese and Ham on it. But it had clearly been sitting out a long time in the case, so it would've been better heated. Either way, it was really good. I got a spinach and feta hand pie that I gooned for. The coffee was really good. Like, really good. I got an iced lavender oat milk latte and it tasted EXACTLY how I expected it would and was hoping it would. Not very sweet with a true lavender floral flavor. Ugh, so amazing. I'd love to return... and maybe I'll bring my own pillow. lol. read more

This is a very nice coffee shop filled with lots of homemade pastries and even their own jam. The coffee is well prepared and they also offer some good coffee alternative drinks, such as matcha and seasonal specials like an iced Rooibos latte. I have tried a few of their offerings and I like their chocolate chip cookie and scones. I also had the veggie biscuit sandwich, which was good but was even better when I warmed it up in the toaster! The staff is very warm and friendly here. The only downside is that the hours are a bit early so make sure to come before 2:30pm! read more

Preserve and Gather - Ricotta Matcha cake and Sweet Cream Scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love this place! I try to go whenever I'm in the area. The service is friendly and the food and coffee drinks are stellar, and I love how the pastries are made in house and different from the standard fare a lot of other shops will sell. So far I've tried a couple of things: ricotta matcha cake, pecan coffee cake, biscuit sandwich ham and jam, biscuit sandwich veggie , fig bar, and many others. What stood out to me most was the coffee cake , although the biscuits can be pretty good if you get them warm (they don't heat them up, which I feel is a big miss). They prepare their own jams and there have a couple of other bakery items to go. Coffee drinks wise, I love their seasonal specials. One of the best lattes I've ever had was their current rose latte. I like to order the drinks half sweet since they're a bit too much for me, and it's a perfect balance. Definitely give this a try if you're in the area. read more

I went here on a weekday midmorning, and I was surprised to see how busy it was. There were a lot of people who were working at the available tables and at the bar counter. This was my first time here--to be honest I almost missed it when going down the street because it kind of blends in, in my opinion. I parked in the residential neighborhood behind the café so parking is just like any other place in Seattle--not great. The cafe space was very clean and minimal. Staff was friendly taking my order. I had a latte and probably the best plain scone I've ever had in my life. The peach butter was so good and I realize that you can actually buy it to take home with you! I need to do that next time. I also appreciated all the cutlery was compostable, and that they used ceramic cups for in-house as to not waste to-go containers. I will say, the bolted down coffee tables and the yellow benches are less to be desired. The table itself is a little too far from the benches so it's awkward to eat at, and the benches themselves are about as comfortable as a church pew. I must come back for my peach butter! read more

The staff here are awesome! Very helpful and attentive and kind! The space is bright and fun but modern. Great place to meet up or do work or grab a quick moment of peace for yourself. The drink and food were both fantastic. The cheese scone was amazing, the rooibos milk tea was also amazing, and the faux tuna sandwich was unique and good too. I definitely plan to come back! read more

I have so many good things to say about Preserve and Gather!!!! First, the space is nice and open - I have been able to meet coworkers here, bring family to hang out, and haven't had an issue finding a spot to sit. The food and coffee are just amazing. I have tried quite a few different pastries and plates, each being amazing. My favorites have been the Ham & Jam biscuit (which is super unique!!) and the peanut butter and chocolate oat bar. I take anyone and everyone I know here to try their goodies whenever they are in town! read more

Excellent strong, well made coffee . It's reasonably priced and a bright open space with lots of seating. They use fulcrum coffee and have a lot of freshly baked pastries which loom like they are made in house. Will come back for coffee and to try some of their cakes , scones and pastries. Be aware the interior is a little sparse, plants need some care . It's great to meet someone to catch up but doesn't look like a good place to work/ study. Can get loud as well. read more

Can't thank Marie B enough for offering to let me check out Preserve and Gather! For the ride to Coffeeholic and my appointment after thank you my friend!! Especially when she stayed in the car while I ordered from their window. Looking forward to when they allow dining inside again. What a wonderful space. The variety of baked goods made it difficult for me to decide what to try. The salad and other entrees sounded delicious. Picked up a couple of the ginger oear scones, a delicata squash hand pie and fig bar along with a jar of their chai pear butter. Wasn't on their jam /butter list but was an option to but on one of their sweet cream biscuits so I asked if I could buy a jar. And they said yes ! Definitely will be back once I figure the bus route for sure! read more

The best mocha. House made syrup. Good coffee. It's not strait molten chocolate like chocolati for example (which is delicious if you want molten chocolate with coffee) but this place has an amazing mocha and always say yes to their house made marshmallow. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning with a friend who raves about their sweet cream scones. I tried the ham and jam biscuit and enjoyed the combination of flavors, even though I typically find biscuits a little dry. The space was busy but ordering was efficient, and prices feel a little high but the pastries seem quality. read more

Favorite coffee shop in the area by far. The staff are always nice and friendly, and the pastries are great. They always have good decaf, and they never shame me for ordering it. They have also never given me caffeinated on accident. If you are a fellow caf-free person you'll understand how wonderfully refreshing all this is. Appreciated! read more

cute coffee shop with yummy snacks. pretty big menu for "real foods" but i just stopped in for coffee and treats

This was the best drip coffee EVER (and that's saying something for a coffee shop in Seattle)! Just delicious. And their Ham and Jam biscuits were worth going back for a second morning before having to catch our flight back home. What a delightful discovery in north Seattle. read more

What a charming coffee shop in the Greenwood neighborhood! I got a latte and the sweet cream scone- which comes with your choice of jam. I got the chai pear butter. Scone and chai pear butter were so delicious! The coffee was good/standard. Service was friendly and swift. The prices felt a little more expensive compared to other coffee shops it seemed. Overall a great place to gather and enjoy a coffee/pastry! read more

Preserve and Gather - Sweet cream scone with chai pear butter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been meaning to try this place for a while now, even before COVID. I recently started trying to go on morning walks and decided to finally come here. It was such a cute spot and the staff was very nice and helpful. My boyfriend had the dog outside and he forgot his mask, but luckily they had extra masks and let us bring our pup in. We ordered the ham and Gruyère rolls, an oat milk latte, and an oat milk London fog. I haven't had a London fog in a while and this one came out perfect! The ham & Gruyère roll was also delicious. For anyone wondering they have oat milk, soy milk, and almond milk as their milk alternatives. I look forward to coming back here and hopefully dining in one day when we're back to normal. read more

Great snacks, but coffee wasn't great. I came by here to meet a friend, and I absolutely love how there's ample street parking! The inside was very cute, with proper tables as well as little stools, and it looked like the perfect place for remote work or a good book. The staff was super friendly and helped suggest some snacks based on what I was feeling that day. I decided to get the mocha and the strawberry shortbread jam bar. I'll start with the bar - absolutely incredible. It was just the right amount of sweet, and a little sticky without sticking to my teeth. Each bite was also pretty filling, and it ended up being the perfect midday option! The mocha, unfortunately, was really bitter and not chocolatey at all. Even after adding a couple of sweetener packets, it was just not great and I ended up throwing half of it away. Overall, I'd definitely swing by for their baked goods again, but I think I'll get my coffee elsewhere. read more

Preserve and Gather is a cafe in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. My family of three went during the pandemic. Due to covid-19, indoor dining isn't allowed. Instead, walk up to the door converted into a window and order your pastries and coffee. We only had to wait a few minutes before our vanilla latte and decaf latte were ready. My vanilla latte was creamy, but my wife didn't love her decaf. Best coffee in the city? No, but still decent. read more

Stopped in on a hot day recently. Ordered a small drip on ice and a small cold brew. Both tasted like they were severely burnt during roasting and then left sitting for hours. Not even a heavy dose of cream could cut the bitterness or the odor. They seemed swamped so we didn't bother asking for a remake or refund. read more

Such a cute neighborhood coffee shop with friendly staff and very quick service! light and airy ambience with good coffee.

Cute Greenwood cafe spot with nice decor and a fun vibe. I can here for a light breakfast and I think that's what it's perfect for since it's mostly grab-and-go with premise bakery treats, but there are a few options for sandwich/salads. And I didn't get a drink but they had lots of options. My friends got the sandwich that was on Seawolf baguette, apple butter, and Brie - which they really enjoyed. I got the pickled egg salad sandwich which was nice and tasted like quality ingredients, but if you're not a fan of pickled/vinegar flavor it might be a bit strong for you because the eggs are pickled - not eggs and pickles! I also got the butternut squash bread and the caramelized onion and gruyere bun which was delicious (tasted like French onion soup). read more

Drink: (5/5) Their iced vanilla lattes are absolutely delicious. There is a good balance between creaminess and sweetness. This is now a place I will probably go to more often. Service (5/5): The barista was very nice and they gave us the cutest stickers on our latte cups. This is the first time I've been here but I hope that they put stickers on everyone's cup. Parking (4/5): There is only street parking in the residential area. - Please vote below, comment, and like the photos to give me feedback on my reviews - For more reviews and photos, follow my instagram: @nvc.eats read more

We love this place. Every time my family comes to Seattle to visit us they insist on making a stop here. Best bakery in the world!

I was visiting Seattle a couple of weeks ago and anytime I'm in Seattle, I try to find a neighborhood coffee shop to try coffee at. I went here twice during our weeklong stay and would've went more if I had the chance. Yummy coffee and I love that they make their own syrups. I tired a maple oatmilk latte and vanilla oatmilk latte. Both had just the right amount of sweetness (I don't like it super sweet) but the barista let me know that if it wasn't enough, she could add more. I also tried the zucchini bread and coffee cake. Both tasted homemade! Street parking only but luckily I was able to find some the two times I went. Will definitely come again next time I'm in Seattle! read more

I love this place! They are doing counter ordering for pandemic-approved service, take away foods on the go. All pastries I've gotten are delicious- biscuits are moist and lush, flavor pairings are creative. They make their own syrups for coffee dranks which I always think is special. My bruss salad was super good- tasty mixed greens, an enjoyable pickled egg (try it!), and a yummy creamy dressing which I think is vegan. The granola is on the sweet side, but guess who has a sweet tooth (me). I dropped my kombucha on my freshly cleaned kitchen floor when I got home but I couldn't even be mad bc my lunch was so tasty. Good, quick service too. Thanks!! read more

I stopped in looking for a vegan baked item and coffee, and they delivered. They had 2 different vegan baked items, a tahini panellet and a sort of banana loaf. I went with the panellet ($2.80 incl tax), which is made with sweet potato, almond flour, and black sesame seeds. The pastry was decent -- too much sesame seed I'd say, but had a nicely textured filling. The Americano ($3.91 incl tax) I had was solid too and did the job. Solid spot for (vegan) baked goods and coffee. read more

This has become my go-to weekend spot for me and a gal pal after our morning workout. So glad she introduced me to P&G! It can get busy, but the line moves quickly, and we've never had trouble finding a table inside. Their baked goods look and smell enticing, and they do have some vegan offerings among them. I had the blueberry almond breakfast cake on my last visit and loved it. Moist with the perfect amount of crumble and just the right level of sweetness. It paired well with a cardamom latte. They had a white bean sandwich on their menu until recently which I was madly in love with. Their egg salad is also very good, but I do hope that white bean sammie makes a comeback... For all the raving I've heard about their scones, the cracked pepper manchego I tried was unexciting and overdone, and the manchego was practically undetectable. It was offered with housemade chive butter which sounded delicious, but it was served straight from the fridge and was so hard it was unusable. What a shame. Employees are pleasant and efficient, and I appreciate that their advertised pricing includes tip. Cute gift items available for sale as well. read more

I've been here a couple of times and am very impressed by this adorable cafe! The first time I had an almond milk latte, which was very good. The second time I had cold brew, which was just okay--a bit on the weak side, but it still hit the spot. I have not yet tried their hot coffee, but I look forward to doing so. Other reviewers are right, the pastries are to die for. I had a black pepper scone and I enjoyed it very much. The space is cute, airy, and modern, and staff are very friendly. They do not have WiFi, which can be a plus, but something to be aware of if you planned to bring your laptop. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Was trying to take pictures to post on their yelp and google to get them more business but the whole time the girls making the drinks in the back were rudely saying how we shoudl ask to take pictures beforehand. But we were taking pictures of the business to promote them, not of them personally. They were very rude and we will definitely never be back. We got the cherry fizz and it's was terrible and watered down. read more

I found myself at this busy neighborhood cafe two days in a row because the baked goods are that delicious. Between our visits, I got to try a savory ricotta mushroom hand pie, roasted veggie biscuit, and an onion gruyere bun, but the standout were the sweet cream scones that I took home to bake. This four pack of frozen, ready to bake scones were the highlight. Moist, buttery and flakey, they barely needed any jam. I am lucky it's not me but my family who lives near by, otherwise I'd be gaining quite a few pounds from their baked goods. Get here early, as they sell out of popular items quickly. Their coffee was pretty good too - I especially liked their mocha, which wasn't too sweet. read more

I discovered this place while in Seattle for the afternoon. I was trying to find the best place to park since I know Seattle has a lot of street parking. I came at a good time I guess because there was available 2 hour street parking near the cafe which was great! This cafe is quaint - the atmosphere and wall paper is very nice. I got a Matcha latte and a sea salt dark chocolate chunk cookie. The only downside is that they do not have wi-fi which was a surprise to me because I know most cafes would have wi-fi and that was quite a disappointment. I had to use my personal hotspot just to do some work on my laptop. read more
