They serve delicious local coffee and tea as well as local pastries (from both Macrina and some baked in house), as well as breakfast sandwiches, focaccia, and also vegan soft serve made with oat milk. The soft serve has rotating weekly flavors, and I was lucky to try to orange creamsicle, which was delicious swirled with classic vanilla. I even got some sprinkles with it! For coffee, they have all the classics as well as some seasonal specials with in-house made syrups. Everything we ordered was delicious that we actually ended up getting 2 lattes while we were there. Apart from the food and drinks, they also have a plethora of local artwork for sale, paintings displayed on the walls, glasswork and ceramics at the windows, and tie dyed shirts made by the owner himself, plus more. They also sell pokemon cards and run an actual Play! Pokemon league. It runs every Saturday from noon to 4 PM and is run by the owner himself. It's a great place for both newbies and kids trying to get into pokemon and seasoned veterans alike. You even get discounted coffee during the pokemon session! The owner himself is a very personable guy and is very knowledgeable all about his products, and is always happy to chat about coffee, art, or Pokemon. There's a clean maintained bathroom in the back of the cafe and self-pour water stations to make your stay enjoyable. They have wifi and comfy seating, outlets, and even couches, which makes it perfect for coworking or just hanging out. Catch me there every Saturday with my pokemon cards!

I used to be a regular at Coffeeholic and brought a lot of visitors here. However, the last two…read moretimes I went, I got a stomachache and so did my friend who was visiting Seattle. 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.

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.

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.

My matcha latte was very satisfying. My most favorite baked good was the green tea azuki (red bean) muffin. Not too sugary like most muffins. The matcha was very rich. The matcha color is beautiful. The azuki in the center was just a nice balance to the rich matcha. This experience of eating the matcha muffin brings back memories of visiting Japan. Others can disagree but it felt that way to me. :) I also enjoyed the chocolate chip banana loaf and the azuki croissant. It is very unique. Look forward to being back.

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.

Huge respect to them for using tea leaves from Taiwan. Their bagels are also pretty good, fresh and made in-house. The family that runs this business are also very sweet.

I do love a fun drink so I tried the Cardamom Rose Latte this recent trip and it was delicious, a subtle flavor, and not too sweet! You order at the counter and then wait for your name to get called to grab your food/drinks before you go sit down. The service was fast and I got to sit in the rooftop patio for the first time which was great. It was a kind of sprinkly day, but thankfully part of the rooftop is covered. You can even see a peak-a-boo view of the water from up there. Parking is always kind of annoying here, but at least it's free because I always end up parking in the nearby neighborhoods. Overall, a great Thursday and I will definitely be back!
