    Perfect spot for coffee!
    Elizabeth H.

    This is a cozy little coffee shop with wonderful people. Welcoming and inviting! Summer hasn't left Seattle yet so this is a perfect place to enjoy a cuppa with the front door open. Cappuccino is nice and comforting. The black coffee is fruity and bold. Definitely a spot for relaxation!

    My wife and I had a coffee and cappuccino here. The coffee was delicious and well-prepared - strong the way I like it. The woman behind the counter who prepared our coffee was friendly. The vibe of the coffee shop was warm, friendly, neighbourly. Just a great place to chill and relax for awhile. The seating inside is pleasant and comfortable. There is outdoor seating as well which is great on a nice day. Plus, just across the street is a great view of Seattle. If you're in the neigbourhood, this is a very good place for a coffee.

    "Vegan Muffin" and their amazing Chai
    Andy N.

    Dirtiest, hottest, tastiest homemade chai I have ever had!! My friend took me to QED after landing at SeaTac after raved about their chai. I'm not a coffee drinker so this was the best option and holy moly, she was not kidding. This chai was absolute fire! You could really taste the ginger and spices in the drink and it was clearly not from a carton. They also have a variety of baked goods and sandwiches. The staff pointed out their vegan muffin which was perfectly baked to fluffy perfection. Grab your drink and baked goods to enjoy the view outside of the city. They even brought out our food across the street for us knowing we were hanging out outside. Major props to the team for the service. Plus, there are some small tables and window seating with plugs if you need to do a bit of work for a few hours. Their wifi game is strong and I am grateful for QED for being my first Seattle pitstop this time around.

    Drip Brewed Coffee w/ splash of oat milk

    Cute little shop with tons of street parking, shop itself is little so not ideal for big groups. Service is friendly and quick. I got a drip with a splash of oatmilk and my friend got a latte and said it was delicious.

    I find this cafe on too good to go,and only use a little money for a bunch of variety choice. English muffin with egg and cheddar cheese was realy soft and fresh. Brownie is filled with sunflower seed and walnut, The sweetness is perfect. I hate cake with too much sweet. And the scone is fantastic with milk smell and crispy outside with gentle moisture inside.

    Walk up window. Still open! Support small businesses!! Masks required, no cash, no personal cups.

    QED has turned into a walk up to-go window. The negative is you're not sure who is in line and who is waiting for their coffee, and the sidewalk is not very wide (not their fault). You place your order at their window and pay, then stand back and wait for your name to be called. They have delicious coffee I love their americano it tastes so creamy and smooth.

    Nice little coffee shop and great coffee with a small pastry selection as well. I got a short latte and stayed to work for a little bit. It is on the small side and can get busy but the environment and staff/service were good. I would come back again!

    Orgeat Ice Latte
    Cardin N.

    Stopped by today to try one of their house made syrup lattes and it was delicious. The seasonal Orgeat syrup is wonderful. Hopefully it gets enough love from the community and stays on the menu in the long run. Highly recommend this place. John being super helpful and nice was also a big bonus which is why it was a 5 star experience today!

    Service was quick easy and very helpful! The vibes and energy of this cute little quaint coffee shop is very much twlight like Bella on new moon looking outside the window. I got a chai which was super yummy! Parking can be a bit tricky but it's not bad

    I got a drip coffee and butter croissant - both were excellent. Friendly staff, and supporting local artists.

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.

    This spacious coffee shop at the corner of Rainier Ave and Edmunds St has a warm, minimalist vibe…read moreand was a nice stop defuse heading out for morning chores. I ordered a seasonal iced black sesame latte and really enjoyed the smooth flavors with the right balance of sweetness. Olympia offers several breakfast sandwiches including vegan and vegetarian option. I had the spam, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin and it was delicious. The tables are handicapped accessible accompanied by movable wooden chairs or large wall benches. There's also a counter along one of the windows with stools so you can watch passersby. In the back is a bathroom for customers, but you'll need to request the code from the staff. I took off one star because the food menu and bakery case is to the right of the register, but one orders in a separate place to the left of the register that does not have a food menu. An improvement would be adding larger signage about where to order, pay, and pick up online orders plus add food menus to the ordering area.

    Happened to be driving by so I stopped in for an iced latte & added the salted caramel brown sugar…read moresyrup (I think that's what it was). 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.

    Unfailingly fantastic staff and delicious brunch and pizza. Although I'm sure the rest of the…read morebrunch food is delicious, I'm stuck on the Morning Hash. They recently started offering Dutch Babies and my only regret is they don't offer a savory version, as it might be easier to tear myself away from the hash. There is no better Bloody Mary, anywhere. Mio Posto also knows that potatoes belong on pizza! Also recently stopped in for happy hour with friends and enjoyed delicious bar mussels (get some rosemary flatbread or the house baked bread to go with and soak up the juices). It is much easier to come here on weekends now with Lake Washington Boulevard being open to biking and walking on summer weekends, so my only complaint is they could have a larger and better bike rack, as that is the main way I get here. (Although the bus route 14 stops just steps away, too.) I almost always sit outside as it's right across from a park and a great place to people watch. The inside is cozy wood and brick, so maybe now that I have rediscovered it I will come back for some winter meals. Bottom line, all my visits have delivered great food and friendly staff. Hits a sweet spot for offering a casual experience that feels chic but welcoming.

    I have always drove past this place and never thought to try... a sister's meet-up landed me here…read moreand I'm so sad I never tried this place before! Vegan options are always a plus for me. The beet salad was my favorite. When I'm near the area again I will most definitely stop and try other items off the menu. Loved the pizza!! Our server was nice and the atmosphere brought a nice vibe for our long conversations.
