My local coffee spot! Great coffee, great beans for a home espresso maker, great place to work if you want to get out of the apartment. read more

Realfine Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

=== Overall === Decent place to grab a quick, simple coffee or have a short catchup with a friend. Nothing special. === Drink === To preface, I think I could have ordered better. I ordered a London Fog and was pretty disappointed to just get a teabag and steamed milk - but that's what a London Fog is. I was with other people who ordered lattes and they didn't get any latte art- which is fine, but a little sad. They said it was okay. I drove from Redmond to try this place and wouldn't go back. === Service === Service was fine, although I ordered oat milk and I wasn't 100% sure that's what I got - heard the baristas call out other people's drinks with oat milk and didn't with mine. === Ambiance === Pretty small space and wasn't a huge fan of how a lot of the tables were laid out. Only one or very few outlets to charge, not really a great place to cowork. Due to it being a small space you're kind of forced into hearing everyone's conversations. read more

Realfine Coffee - London Fog - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

i've never had such a bad iced latte in my life. i physically saw the girl pour the espresso right over ice instead of in milk & then add ice... if you drink iced lattes or even know how to make one you know its espresso, milk, & then you add the ice otherwise you burn the espresso. customer service wasn't there either, no hi, hello, no eye contact was made with me when i was ordering my latte, the latte taste burnt, and not to mention the SMALL latte was $7 and the size of a SAUCE cup. i wish i would've looked at the reviews before i came here it just happened to be the closest coffee shop to me. read more

Went here for a quick coffee in the middle of my work day at around 11 I got an iced white mocha and there and there was no one else in line, lots of other people in the shops and hanging and working tho. The service was really nice and overall it's a nice shop, I'd go back. Iced white mocha - 6.5/10 read more

Cozy little coffee spot with friendly service. Had an almond oat milk latte that was pretty good. Had some seating and a pretty quiet atmosphere, solid option to get some work done. Would drop by again read more

I got the Hazelnut Iced latte with whole milk and the espresso still shines through a latte! Cozy cafe with plenty of wall bar stools and a couple tables. Friendly staff and not too crowded on a weekday afternoon. read more

Generic. I have been a number of times, and forgotten each prior visit until reminded by how notably slow they were. read more

Small coffee shop with a cute aesthetic. Not too much seating, so as the day went on, some people had trouble finding a place to sit. The biggest issue was that the door doesn't close all the way, which made it really cold. Plus, since the shop is so small, anyone opening the door causes the whole shop to change temperatures. On this winter day, even wearing a large puffer jacket, we had to cut our work session early to find a warmer alternative. The coffee itself was good! I got an almond flavored latte with oat milk. They had an interesting selection of syrups - not a lot of the ones I'm used to seeing, and some fruit-related ones I haven't seen anywhere else. Since Seattle has so much high quality coffee at roughly the same price point, the main distinguishing factor for me is the ambiance. The door situation unfortunately was a dealbreaker, especially on the frigid day I went. However, if you only plan to grab a coffee to-go and want to try new syrup flavors, this would be a great spot! read more

Realfine Coffee - cardamom cappuccino (left), almond latte (right) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my new favorite coffee place in Seattle. Very few coffee places have stuck in my memory recently except for this one. The atmosphere is really cute, with great window seats that have draping plants and well designed. It was a rainy day and there was something about sitting in that window area that felt really homey. I asked for a glass for my coldbrew and since they usually do cups, they gave me a glass that was a bit smaller and just told me to come get a refill whenever. Not only that but they were very nice and made some good conversations while waiting. The coffee itself was really good as well. The coldbrew had hints of chocolate and was really smooth. It was pretty strong so after my second one I was wired which was not the best idea since we got there around 5pm. That was the other thing too is that they are open pretty late for a coffee shop. Overall a phenomenal coffee shop that you should check out. read more

Service was good with the barista providing some recommendations. The inside is pretty small with only a few spaces to sit and hang out. There are a few plugs and the WiFi is stable (password on top of mini fridge). The chai was good as well and I loved the little "wall" of dog Polaroids on the fridge near the drink pick up. read more

I usually have mochas from another indie a block away, however, I noticed Realfine Coffee diagonal from where my car was parked on E Pine (3/25/23). I stopped in during the final hour of service. Nice chill atmosphere. Nice interior decor. There's counter, window/sidewalk view, table interior seating, as well as, limited outdoor sidewalk seating. Welcoming counter staff. My 12oz mocha was on point for presentation, taste, and temperature - which was greatly appreciated. I just hung out at the counter facing the feature wall. Decent music. Folks seated indoors, like me, but observed a steady stream of takeout beverage orders. I enjoyed my first visit, definitely recommended! read more

I don't want to be too harsh so I'll keep it simple. The London fog was no good and the matcha was bitter. Not a place I would go again. Also a bit smelly in there. Like slap you in the face armpit fog. read more

The people working were super kind. Made the coffee super fast and it was delicious. I'd go here over Starbucks any day. The atmosphere is also nice, clean, and calm in here. Definitely would return again. read more

Quick latte and was made perfectly. Small and cute cafe. A great place for ordering to go.

Best coffee on the hill, maybe in all of Seattle ?? everyone who works here is sweet and great at their job! They're friendly even when there's a line out the door. My only complaint is that the coffee is so good I can't go anywhere else lol read more

This coffee shop was surprising good! I happened to park right in front of this store. After shopping around, I came back and got a hot machiato to go and it was sooooooo good! You can tell from the first sip that it's quality coffee! I will definitely come back to this cute little shop for more drinks. The staff is also very nice and efficient. Some people do come in and study/work on their computers here. Check this place out if you're nearby! You won't be disappointed! read more

When you have some of the best coffee choices in a 5 block radius, smaller local names can be forgotten. When I first moved to Seattle I was naturally drawn to big names or the ritzy Sbux reserve, but after daily sampling I have found Realfine coffee to be one of the most underrated coffee shops in the area and our personal fav. They just nail my fav drink, which is an oat milk latte. Been looking forward to their coffee every day now. Hope you feel the same way! read more

Love this coffee shop, especially that it's super close to my place! It's been one of my go-to places for coffee lately. I usually order a regular latte and add a bit of simple syrup for a touch of sweetness and it's perfect. I really like how the lattes here still have a nice strong coffee taste, and not too milky like some places make it. I have also tried their chocolate croissant and banana bread - both delicious! They also have a nice decor with a really cute mini plant wall. It's not a huge space but there's usually some seating when I come. This place is also dog friendly! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

Nice little spot for coffee. If my memory serves me right, this spot replaced the old spot stump town coffee. The new owner (or the baristas) has pretty good music taste. The Wi-Fi isn't that good tho. But yea, enjoy your coffee here. People are nice. read more

My partner is getting a haircut next door so I dropped in for a iced americano. The storefront is very clean and the covid-19 safety rules are in place to keep both customers and staff safe. My 2 stars are for safety and staff performance- very professional and friendly workers and the store is adorable. The coffee was awful tho :( shots in the iced americano were burnt pretty badly- not sure if it's the beans themselves, equipment needed cleaned, water was not filtered or user error while preparing it... whatever the cause it was very gross. I drink iced americano as my go to beverage and this is way off base. (I even make my own at home- and it's pretty bad when my home brew Franken-coffee turns out better than a cafes). I might try this place again if I'm doing a latte or something with cream and sugar. ‍ read more

Realfine Coffee - The americano had no additives in it but it's cloudy... probably why it's not tasting very crisp. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This cute coffee shop has very smooth coffee! I ordered the Hazelnut latte with hemp milk and it was made perfectly! Definitely check this coffee shop out if you're near cal Anderson park! read more

Service was horrendous. The cashier couldn't even bother to say hello or good morning and then just tossed my food that I ordered at me. So rude. Absolutely terrible garbage humans working behind the counter at this location. How horribly rude. The young blonde haired guy with the glasses needs some course work and training on how to treat people. Never going back! read more

Cute place The coffee is great And really cute little area though Sadly it is under quarantine read more

Super good drip coffee! Found this place because I was just in the area and craving a hot cup of coffee and this place turned out to be perfect. The staff was super kind and polite and my coffee was delicious. Would definitely frequent this place if I wasn't just in seattle on vacation! read more

I really enjoyed this coffee shop. The service here was amazing. They have a good drink selection, a really yummy assortment of pastries, and for a smaller location, a plentiful amount of seating with charging outlets. It wasn't super busy when I went so there was no trouble finding a spot to sit. It's a good spot to get some work done or just hang out or visit with friends. read more

Don't go to the Starbucks Roastery around the corner. Realfine's coffee is just as good. This is now my go to coffee place in Capitol Hill. The staff is also very friendly. read more

This is a nice little coffee shop with excellent service. The times I've been here I have gotten the hazelnut and vanilla lattes. Unlike other places, the coffee taste is a lot stronger and less milky, which in my opinion is great since sometimes too much milk makes me feel bloated. The place is nice and hip to get some work done with not too much ambient noise. However, if you're trying to meet up with a large group this probably isn't the place for that. read more

Currently there is no indoor seating, I'm adding due to pandemic protocol. Overall, the coffee and tea is good but I wouldn't say the baked goods are my favorite. I tried 4 different ones over the course of two days. In my opinion most people would enjoy the banana bread and the almond croissant. I personally found the latter too sweet while the banana bread was pretty good but I felt like it was a tad drier than I would like. The savory items I tried weren't bad but nothing to write home about. The service is really good though (albiet slow as there's usually only one barista who is also the cashier) and I'd recommend this place if you'd like to grab a nice latte or London Fog. read more

The coffee tastes great with fast service. Its a hidden, close-by spot right near I live so I started going here for a quick coffee and would definitely recommend! The inside has a beautiful wood furnishing with a lot of plants and other decorations. I like that it is smaller and homey inside but there are enough places to sit and read! This place just makes sense read more

Quality, craft and service. Sounds like a car commercial but it's coffee. I came in to meet my partner and didn't realize it's right in the hub of pike and pine. This cute little coffee shop is decorated with wood and brassy gold containers to pathos and succulents. It's surprisingly comfortable and the vibe is very chill. I was already pretty caffinated when I got there so I ordered a chai. I'm pretty particular about the flavor of chai, I like it on the spicier side vs. The sweet side. The person that made my drink was very knowledgeable about their chai and that they are on the hunt for the perfect chai with beautiful ingredients. I very much enjoyed the latte. The best part of it was the perfect foam that was atop my soy chai latte. I definitely will come back to try their espresso. They also have a cold case and pastries as well. I didn't get the chance to see if they had anything that was vegan. As I was enjoying my beverage, I couldn't help but listen to the person talk about the quality of the pulled espresso shots, the timing, the flavor and the grind. Being a coffee snob, I knew quality and craft was upmost important to her. As we left she said bye and welcomed us back. So like I said earlier, quality, craft and service, it's why I will be back! read more

So stoked you're here. I love this shop in West Seattle and now love the one on The Hill. The reason I love it so much is of course because of the coffee but almost equally important the feeling, you know the 'vibe'. Seriously if you sit in either of these places for any amount of time you'll see folks coming in and out with huge smiles. People love it here, the customers and the staff. That's right coffee staff that are kind, nice, happy.... It's rad to be here. I love it. I love it BIG. Thanks Julie for putting your heart and soul into this. It shows and I for one love it. read more
