Food/drinks - I had the egg sandwich which came with fluffy scrambled eggs, thick slices of bacon, melty cheese on a very soft bun. It was pretty big - more of a fork & knife situation. I had a bite of my husbands croque madam but I am not a mustard fan so it was not for me. We split the little raspberry guy (what a cute name). Very good. The texture was prefect and the tart of the raspberry went well with the sweet crust. For drinks i had the matcha strawberry. It doesn't LOOK like it would taste very strawberry-ish but it did. I would def come here again for that. Service - everyone was very friendly & came out fast. Ambiance - dog friendly is always a plus for me. Tons of people and dogs everywhere. We sat outside and it was a little chilly, so it was nice that they had the heaters on. The seating is very cute. There's also indoor seating in a separate area. read more

Little hidden coffee shop. I think this coffee shop is a fun little place for a quick coffee to sit outside by their fireplace or in their inside/outside area. In all honesty, I didn't love their breakfast food - we got the veggie bowl and Frittata. The veggie bowl meal was a little too oily and the flavors were slightly off and the quiche was decent but not super flavorful. I would probably recommend other items of those. Not a super big place but has never had problems with spots to sit. Decent spot. read more

Day one exploring Seattle and this was right across the street from where we were staying. The service was friendly and efficient for such a busy morning. The restaurant is cozy with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is kept warm with a fireplace and heaters. The coffee was delicious and the egg sandwich was on point. The pumpkin spice latte, my seasonal favorite, was delicious. A nice subtle sweetness with lovely warm spices. It was perfect. The cappuccino and cortado were well made and tasty. The egg sandwich- scrambled egg, bacon, cheddar, and aioli piled high on a brioche bun just hit the spot. We will definitely pop in before we head out. read more

Red Arrow Coffee - Scone and latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am from out of town and circled the block twice looking for where to park. I parked in a residential neighborhood and fumbled my way around the building looking for an entrance. There is a patio entrance and side lot entrance where the kitchen and canisters are. It was packed on a Tuesday morning. No place to sit. So I waited for my pb&j toast in the side lot outside the kitchen door, on a stoop. The Americano was good. The PB&j toast is another level. I took the first bite and my hair stood on end. When I inhaled the first slice, there was a bite of salt left on my tongue. How do they do that? The initial taste is sweet raspberry, then salty peanut butter but like a sea salt after bite. It's like a Willy Wonka journey of flavor. I don't know. This is incredible. I will never forget it. read more

Red Arrow Coffee - PB&J toast was one of the most incredible culinary surprises of my broke life. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This coffee shop/cafe is a hidden gem? Tucked behind Brimmer & Heeltap, it can be a bit hard to spot unless you know it's there. The menu changes seasonally so it's a great excuse to keep coming back! It's also very versatile -- a great place to catch up with a friend or to enjoy a solo date reading in the peaceful garden area. Love that it's indoor/outdoor, although I haven't been in the winter -- I imagine not AS great as summer time when the garage door is open and you can enjoy the fresh air. I was most recently here in September and the strawberry matcha drink was refreshing and not too sweet. The Heirloom tomato toast sounded basic but was far from it! The bacon jam and pistachio complemented it well and it was a flavor explosion! A little messy/hard to eat but incredible and well worth it. I look forward to coming back soon to try some of the seasonal fall items :) Only complaint: I just wish they were open longer! I believe the hours are 7-2 daily. Even staying open an hour longer would be great! read more

This place might be a new favorite. It's a little tricky to find at first. Both my friend and I accidentally walked into Brimmer & Heeltap before realizing the cafe is further back. I got the earl grey matcha which was delicious and not too sweet and the curry grain bowl which was fantastic. The crispy chickpeas and quinoa added a nice textural contrast. You order at the counter and grab your own drinks, but they bring the food to your table. The vibe was low-key and cozy with a mix of couples, groups, and someone working on a laptop. There's a mini split inside and a heater on the patio. I'll definitely be back! read more

Cute lil corner cafe attached to a bar. Bigger than it looks. Bistro tables, picnic tables, and a small indoor space. We ordered lattes, tea, the French toast, and the pancetta cheese scone. All were great, served quickly, correctly, and didn't go to waste. Husband especially loved the thick bread for French toast; reheated well in air fryer. Will return. Bonus, had high chairs. read more

Went here for some solitude and a BANGIN breakfast sandwich and got exactly that! Service was lovely and fast, the sandwich (standard egg breakfast sammie on the menu) was a masterpiece. Bacon was plentiful and thick cut, egg was delicious and not messy, the chili aioli gave it a good kick! Only thing is the matcha wasn't very good but that's ok, I'm excited to try another item next time I go! Highly recommend when you're having a bad day and need to just sit in a cute ass cafe to reset! read more

Love this little neighborhood coffee shop and will definitely come back again. The shop is very cute with friendly staff, and both the food and coffee are amazing. The atmosphere is so chill and they put on a fire for the outdoor seating as well which was really cozy. We ordered an egg sandwich & we loved how the egg was so soft. We also enjoyed the salmon toast which the salmon very fresh. Would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy coffee shop with yummy bites. read more

I've been a regular at Red Arrow and have always loved the food and atmosphere. Today I fell while eating in the main area and our latte spilled everywhere--it was pretty loud, and several staff were right behind the POS and café area when it happened. A few other customers came over to check on us, but none of the staff did, even though it wasn't busy and around four people were working. It left me feeling like I won't be back, which is a shame given how much I've enjoyed this place. read more

Super cute space, cozy fire and fairy lights. The pistachio matcha was very tasty & well made.

First time trying Red Arrow. It's definitely a funky little spot with a tiny seating area near the counter, and about 3 other seating areas, including inside the Brimmer & Heeltap space. I had the egg sandwich which was very good -- generous slab of fluffy scrambled eggs, thick chewy bacon, and a spicy sauce. Ordered at the counter, picked up my americano up there, then they brought the sandwich to me, finding my little metal order number on the table. They had the cool system that automatically determined my name from my debit card, so they called it our when my coffee was ready. read more

The ambiance is lovely, no doubt. However, I didn't realize the coffee was from UMBRIA. I've tried it before and didn't enjoy it. I wish I had noticed that before ordering. Unfortunately, it was just as disappointing this time. I truly hope they consider a different coffee option in the future. I won't be returning, though--I'm giving one star solely for the coffee, not the ambiance. read more

I wanted to order some takeout breakfast as a treat for my wife's birthday & selected Red Arrow based on positive reviews and proximity. It was a GREAT choice in every regard & my wife loved it!!! We had the Salmon Toast, Crispy Potatoes & French Toast and every single item tasted home made + with top quality ingredients. I had a seasonal banana caramel coffee which was A++ but my wife didn't love her caramel mocha...too subtle for her tastes...but that was the only negative part of the meal for her. In addition to the excellent bfast, the service I received was friendly & professional. Sitting by the fire pit on a coldish morning while my food was prepared was a bonus! My wife & I will definitely be going back to Red Arrow at some point in the future. read more

Great food and coffee. Crispy potatoes and Croque Madam Latte with Cardamom and vanilla Cute ambiance. Quick service.

Red Arrow is one of my go-to coffee shops. It's always top of the list to bring friends from out of town to show them how great the coffee scene is in Seattle! I usually get a cappuccino and not only is the foam to milk ratio perfect for me, it's also served in a proper cappuccino mug which delights me! Today I got the sparkling matcha lemonade because I biked here from home and wanted something refreshing and it did not disappoint! The food is always spot on too. I love that they use fresh, in-season ingredients for their frittata and it's paired with a perfectly dressed kale salad which makes me feel like I'm the epitome of health. The vibes are also immaculate, there are so many different types of seating to accommodate whether you want to sit inside and get work done, sit in the garden area with a book, or chat with friends by the fire. The staff is wonderful and friendly and they are always quick to churn out drinks and bring out food. read more

Very relaxing, garden-y nook of a cafe. Limited menu. Great place to drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the quiet greenery.

This remains one of top spots for a breakfast sandwich! The kitchen is so creative with their varying and unique ingredients. This time, it had bacon and a sriracha aioli among other delicious things. It's a very filling sandwich but we also had to try the crispy potatoes, which were perfect to share and came with a wonderful sauce. Complimented well by our oat lattes! sitting in the yard filled with beautiful greenery is so great, especially on a sunny day. read more

Great coffee and a really cute atmosphere! The service was very friendly as well. It's a small cafe with a nice, big patio. They kept the door open so it was a bit chilly inside in December but it's great for a warm day! The fireplace and garden outside is very cozy. read more

Torn on this review, because the space is awesome, especially on a sunny day. Amazing to get some work done or meet up with a friend. Good menu selection both food and beverage wise. Service is average, they're not jumping to greet you, but seems like that's the trend at most cafes these days so not sure how much value that holds. But the sour note is a 5% surcharge (excluding tip) and the fact that a latte and a breakfast sandwich comes out to $26 before gratuity. The sticker shock is a bummer for something so simple. read more

Super cute cafe that's hidden off the street. Came here to get some work done and it was quaint and lovely. I really enjoy the outdoor section with so much greenery around. There's good shade coverage! I got a hot tea and a onion galette and both were super yummy. Prices were very reasonable. The only only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because there's no outlets! So sad. So if you want to come here to get work done, make sure your computer is fully charged. Would totally come back here again to chill and work. Great little spot to catch up with a friend too! read more

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop tucked in a restaurant garage. Beautiful and cozy garden cafe vibes. Friendly baristas. I enjoy the latte. I wasn't a fan of the egg sandwich. It was greasy and too savory for a breakfast sandwich. It was also pricey (I think $16). I haven't tried the other food items but will keep coming back for the coffee and vibes! read more

Yelp review Number 99 for 2020! I learned about Red Arrow Coffee from fellow Yelper, Wendy K. Thanks for sharing this notable spot. This is located adjacent and associated with Brimmer and Heeltap in Ballard. I remember the first time I visited solo, I accidentally walked into B&H. The cafe is actually located a little past the restaurant. I was struck at what an amazing, peaceful pocket oasis this was despite being located off a major thoroughfare. Very welcoming, so inviting, lovely aesthetic with the layout of water feature, fire pit, heat lamps, and surrounding plantings. Inspired me of what I could do to transform my overgrown backyard. Red Arrow Coffee had pleasant counter service (no hipster indifference, a big plus!) and adhered to pandemic rules of being masked, tables well spaced, and disinfecting between customers. I had no idea what their cafe hours were as I was savoring my toasted sandwich and on point mocha. Turns out I was there well past closing, had a pleasant conversation with owner, Jen Doak, yet none of the counter staff were shoving me out the gate. Sorry, I try to be cognizant and not be that straggler, my bad. The next time I visited was after a northend doughnut run with Wendy K. This time I indulged in a breakfast sandwich and another mocha. Again, great counter service, amazing ambiance, and of course, enjoyed hanging out with Wendy. She was just at RAC the day before and while we were there, her neighbors were at a table diagonal from us. I don't blame them, such cafes would be an extension of my home. Alas, such cafes don't exist in Shoreline. Eye roll from this near 19 year Shoreline resident. The third time I visited was solo. Again I tried another toasted sandwich, a mocha, and cookies to eat onsite and to bring home. Yes, this is truly not a fluke. Great counter service, tasty food and treats, and spot on mochas. Ballard is home to a wide variety of indie cafes, but Red Arrow Coffee is a true standout with its ability to create such beauty and community during the pandemic. Highly recommended! read more

I had a house sitting gig nearby so I stopped by Red Arrow Coffee to grab breakfast. The cafe has a lot of outdoor seating and some inside as well. Dogs are allowed and there was one hanging out inside the cafe. Staff is friendly and both the blueberry muffin and the coffee was good! read more

This place will damage your bank account significantly but it is very good. The outdoor sitting area is nice. I guess you're paying for the vibes? A great place to go if you're not the one paying. read more

Interesting spot hidden behind a restaurant. Pretty much entirely open air and out door seating, so if it's cold and rainy/windy it's not going to be toasty. When I visited it was a bit windy and very light rain--the space heater they have didn't help too much. Would be great in the spring or summer though. Street parking only. I had a cappuccino and their toast with ricotta. The coffee was good, came out pretty fast. The toast was a larger portion than I expected and suitable for two to share; the ricotta was great on the thick slices of toast, but was heavy. Will come back again when I'm in the area. read more

Checked out this great coffee shop last Saturday with a friend. We both love checking out coffee shops in town together and can't wait to return. Opened a few weeks ago, located behind Brimmer and Heeltap. Not quite sure why I decided to share this space kind of wanted to keep it a secret but at the same time want it to stay open. Opening during a pandemic I'm sure they have enough struggles. The shop has a large overhead door that opens up to outside, an exterior fire pit and about four or five two tops in a garden surrounding strung with exterior party lights. My friend had a cappuccino and I had a latte with oat milk. They day we went there wasn't the best latte art but really your going to go for the ambiance. From the wall art made of glass plates and bowls, to the beautiful light fixtures and teal bench that runs the length of the wall. We arrived at about 8:45am. Their current hours are 7am-1pm every day. Not a place for big breakfasts of eggs and bacon or sausage. They have morning house baked scones which looked delicious they day we were there they were savory, and muffins, a variety of toasts. I suggest the house made ricotta with honey, generous portion and so delicious. A garden salad with edible flowers and three sandwiches to select from. It feels like an escape from the city, a secret garden as we called. We could've sat there all day. Talking and drinking coffee and tea. When both walked into the space we knew we would back we immediately fell in love. read more

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, I'm not kidding!!! This place was so unexpected and cute. I was in the area so just searched on Google for nearby coffee shops... I loved the little garden outside and the outdoor seating. They had a fire pit going and lots of heaters. You have to walk past that little garden area to get to the back, it's kind of hidden behind the trees. But once you get there it's such a cute little coffee shop! You NEED, I repeat NEED to try the breakfast sandwich with added bacon. Absolutely incredible. I forgot to even get a picture of it cause it disappeared so fast lol. read more

Found a hidden gem in the Ballard area off of NW Market & 6th Ave NW. This little cafe with a cozy garden patio is hidden from the street. Enter through the gate from the sidewalk off of 6th Ave. We visited on a Sunday morning and it was packed with guests, which to me is a really good sign. We ordered two cold brew coffees and one Americano that were absolutely delicious. They serve coffee that is roasted locally by Umbria. For food, we ordered two of the Breakfast Sandwiches with Egg & Bacon, and one of their Ham Sandwiches. Definitely check out Red Arrow Coffee if you're in the area. read more

I've been to Brimmer & Heeltap for dinner and that piqued my interest to the cute outdoor space. As you would expect from a place that is a bit tucked away and off from a "downtown" area, Red Arrow has such a neigborhood/ quaint/ unique feel to it. The outdoor space of Brimmer & Heeltap gets repurposed into "Red Arrow Coffee" during the day for breakfast/ lunch. Even on a rainy day, the covered outdoor space is quite cozy because the heaters are pleasantly aggressive. With that said, I'll definitely come more often during the sunnier days! I got a cappuccino and the smoked salmon toast. While the toast was on the pricey side ($14), after it came out, I could see why. It had a lot of elements and was quite complex flavor-wise. The toast was a modest size but ended up being the perfect portion for me. The cappuccino was top-notch and crafted well though. Though not the best espresso drink I've had in Seattle, if I lived closer, this would definitely become my go-to coffee spot because it is top-tier. read more
