SUCH a cute coffee shop in a tiny hidden garden. The coffee was great and the barista was so nice to modify it to how I wanted. The staff is super nice and friendly. This coffee shop is straight out of a book. Really cute and cozy for a lazy work day. I worked out of here on a Monday and it really helped me get over the Monday blues haha. They have some bakery stuff and sandwiches too and they are delicious. read more

Red Arrow Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super cute cafe that's a bit hidden from the street! Red arrow is tucked behind Brimmer and Heeltap, and is super adorable. They have a fair amount outdoor seating with a fire and heat lamps for colder days. They had a pretty good selection of food for breakfast! I got the smoked salmon toast, which was pretty good. I was a bit surprised because I was expecting lox, but it's more like a smoked filet of salmon mixed with the creme fraiche to make a spread. My partner got the egg sandwich which he enjoyed. The egg is cooked so the yolk is runny, and the harissa added a really nice flavor. read more

Gorgeous decor, chill vibe, delicious brunch, music just right. The service was sweet and the homemade ricotta is heavenly.

SUCH a cute coffee shop!!! I love the ambiance and how the inside seating is still very open with tons of fresh air. The outdoor seating is tucked into their garden which, in the summer, is bursting with hydrangea! I ordered the ricotta toast and matcha green tea. The tea was just a tea bag, so nothing special there (but the barista was kind and offered me a pot of hot water to take to my table). The ricotta toast was AMAZING! The bread was so nice and I could have eaten it plain if not for the mouth-watering dollop of honey-smothered ricotta! Everything was just a tad on the expensive side, but for the experience and the quality, I'm not mad about it! read more

Love this little hidden gem behind Brimmer & Heeltap Restaurant! Come here for a nice secluded outdoor table for a small bite and coffee treat! The staff is friendly and prompt, and the food is as good as pretty. Tried the cinnamon roll and pâté, both amazing! Coffee is from Cafe Umbria. Nice place to have a coffee date and catch up conversation with friends. Busy on the weekends so come early. read more

Red Arrow Coffee - Fireplace - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very cute and cozy ambiance - very 'aesthetic' as the youths say nowadays. There is a firepit and heat lamps outside so you can be out there even in the cold. I came here two weekend days in a row, and the people I was with and I ordered the following: toast with butter, peanut butter cookie, quiche (x2), smoked ham sammy, egg sammy, golden milk, a regular latte, and crispy potatoes (x2). The people were kind and friendly, and the food came out quickly. The toast was enormous, delicious, and whimsical. The peanut butter cookie was pretty good. The golden milk was savory and quite strong in its spice! Nice latte art. The sammies were pretty good but the ham one wasn't my favorite. Quiche was excellent. The crispy potatoes, though - phenomenal! The real star of the show both days. Very crunchy with a yummy creamy sauce on top. We'll be back! read more

What an adorable little gem! I've been bored with all of my go to spots so I checked out Red Arrow, which is nestled in the garden space of Brimmer & Heeltap. There is some indoor and covered outdoor space, as well as heaters and a fire. Very cozy vibes. When I saw "thick cut" toast on the menu, my interest was piqued (I love BREAD, ok?!?). I was not disappointed--this was the most giant piece of toast I have ever seen in my life. Positively towering, really, with very liberally applied delicious butter. The coffee was great too (of course, it has to be, this is Seattle!). Service was friendly and fast. I definitely plan to add this place to my rotation! read more

This was our first time here. So delicious! We had the frittata and the cauliflower toast, both vegetarian. We were skeptical when we entered because there was no visible kitchen, but they also own the adjoining restaurant so the food is restaurant-quality. read more

Love this place. Always spend too much money here. Great spot to work/drink/eat during the day. Bakery items are always on point as are their changing meal options! read more

Red Arrow Coffee - Grain bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my most favorite places to get a quick breaky (the meal we eat between 6am -2pm), delicious coffee and meet up with a friend or two! They also make great London Fogs if you need to change up your hot beverage in the morn! The place is hidden like a little gem in between two buildings and when you walk through the gate it's like you've walked into a warm and cozy little hideaway. It's always clean and the peeps, aka staff, who work there are helpful and friendly even if you have been there many times and still take too long to order. That never happened to me but I hear things.... Oh!! I forgot to mention that part of the cafe is covered but much of the little tables are outside dispersed so you can gossip away without anyone overhearing you! Just sayin'....Oh! Oh! and the cherry on top is... ta dah, there is a lovely outdoor fire place and a plenty of patio heaters for some colder days. Go try it, you'll like it. Did I mention it's cozy? read more

I used to LOVE it here. Would come multiple times a week and order a piece of toast and an oat or soy latte. Over the past year and half, I have slowly seen the customer service, food, and coffee go down hill. Many times my latte milk is burnt and the food is cold. I've learned to NOT order online. When I order online, It automatically slots a pick up time for way later than I want. So the food has been sitting around for 20 minutes getting cold while my coffee is burnt. I think some barista education and better communication with the kitchen and servers would help significantly. I miss the coffee and food I used to get with the friendly employees that used to serve it ): read more

This is my favorite coffee shop!!! It's my ideallic escape, and I love coming here with my friends. The place is so pretty, with a beautiful ambiance and comfy indoor and outdoor seating. My favorite spot is the little cozy fireplace area, which is perfect during colder days, or the beautiful garden on warmer days. The coffee is rich and delish, their breakfasts sandwiches are amazing, and they offer other great items on their menu. Sometimes when I really need to unwind, I treat myself to a mimosa or two after my coffee ! The community here is amazing, and the people who work here are always so welcoming. Being from Europe, this place reminds me a bit of the coffee shops back home. It's truly a special place!!!! read more

Red Arrow is such a sweet place- always welcoming with a good vibe. Love they serve cafe Umbria coffee- such a Seattle staple and the closest thing to being back in Italy. read more

i love everything about this place . From the delicious coffee , pastries and the wonderful crew. Simply the best .

Red Arrow is a must-visit whenever I'm in town. The friendly, upbeat team makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, and the inviting vibe encourages you to stay and savor every sip. Their coffee is consistently delicious--don't miss the seasonal maple latte if it's available. YUM! read more

Very charming cafe and bistro. Their roasted veggie frittata was the perfect warm breakfast on a rainy, chilly Saturday. The coffee was a robust dark roast that paired beautifully with the caramelized root vegetables. We got to sit in the bistro dining room because the coffee house and garden tables were full. It was so lovely to be able to see the kitchen brigade working and take in the lovely surroundings. We will be back for wine and food some evening. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area for a Facebook Marketplace pick-up (gotta love it), but had some time to kill before our meeting. Of course, we decided we needed coffee. Red Arrow was our second choice (our first choice was extremely packed), and honestly, I'm very happy we didn't go to our first choice. I regret not taking any photos of how aesthetically pleasing and completely adorable this little cafe is. It's definitely a hidden gem. The entrance we came in through was like a little garden with tables on each side of the path. You'd never know there was a storefront/counter at the end. I'm not sure about their indoor seating/if they have it, but the outdoor seating was perfect. I don't think I'd ever want to sit inside if I came here. It was a chillier morning (but a beautiful day), so we snagged seats by the fire pit close to the counter. Their food sounded great, and they had some solid drinks options, but we opted for some simple lattes (with oat milk!). The service was great, the music was great, and the vibes were tooooo good. This is the type of place I want to take everyone I know. It's too bad I don't live closer -- I'd love to come more often! read more

This place is SO so cute! Tucked away behind a corner restaurant, you'd never know it was there. You walk along a side path that is a shady, plant-lined pathway with a few tables, into an open space that reminds me of little cute coffee shops in Hawaii. The baked goods are amazing! We got the peanut butter cookie (gluten-free and vegan!) and the cinnamon pecan scone - both excellent and reasonably priced. We also got the sparkling matcha lemonade, which was refreshing and not at all too sweet. The woman who helped us was friendly too, which always makes for a better experience. I won't go anywhere that has surly or impersonal service. Highly recommend! read more

This place is great. Delicious coffee (highly recommend their vanilla lattes and americanos), baked goods (love the scones), and the overall ambiance is awesome--beautiful garden, and the inside feels almost European. Friendly baristas too. Will definitely be back to spend some time in the garden area with a book. read more

Delightful coffee shop with outdoor seating and a fire pit tucked in behind Brimmer and Heeltap.

Cute outdoor/indoor place. A real place, not just some afterthought of aesthetics. The food and drinks are top notch. Come find it :) read more

What an interesting little hideaway! Ended up here because I was looking for a new place for coffee and maybe a breakfast snack...it was 9:00 a.m. after all. Had the granola, a slice of coffee cake and a latte'....yeah it was all good. Having coffee here is like having coffee in your neighbors really cool back yard. It's like being in on the neighborhood secret. OMG, it's like finally being one of the cool kids. read more

Nice nice place. Coffee art amazing. Had the granola parfait and it was good but not great. Cool people but that's it

It's funny that I see reviews that say the same thing I was thinking! Taking a power walk w my daughter on a dreary Seattle day and happen upon this little ray of sunshine! Felt like I was walking into someone's garage!. I only had coffee and it was delicious. But I promise I'll go back to try out the fare and libations. read more

Holy coffee! So smooth and delicious. The service is swift and friendly. There is ample outdoor seating in a cozy urban garden environment.

I love the location and drinks are pretty good been here about three times in the past couple weeks! Although, service could be better I understand people have off days. I just love the location and ambiance. Definitely recommend if you're in the neighborhood read more

I just found out about this hole in the wall coffee shop and cannot wait to go back. The coffee was so good and the garden area made for a beautiful setting and place to relax. When you walk in it's surprising how quiet it is for being right off of NW Market. Definitely will be back to try some of the food on the menu too! read more

Asking me to repeat myself in a very condescending manner. Waiting by the counter and had me go to the other side of the counter to get my drink. Guy after me was handed his coffee where I was standing. Extremely rude. Don't know if it had to do with me being the only Hispanic looking person coming in construction clothing. read more

Quiet, quaint hidden gem right in Ballard! A friend told me about this place, otherwise I would have completely missed it walking by. It's a nice little garden oasis with plenty of outdoor and far-apart seating. A lovely spot to sit and sip your coffee, not just get one to go. Loved the ambiance and the staff were so nice. Can't wait to come back! read more

Lovely little cafe tucked away behind Brimmer & Heeltap. Walking in the front entrance feels like you're walking into someone's beautiful garden. They've got plenty of outdoor patio dining and a small fire pit to lounge on. Limited indoor seating with eclectic decor. Service was great and the coffee and food both delicious! I ordered a lavender latte and ricotta toast which was delectable. Would definitely recommend checking this place out to sit and enjoy the open air, great food and friendly service. I will be back! read more

I wanted to like the place. The aesthetic was super cute but wouldn't recommend for work given there weren't any outlets which was alright! The drinks were great but got some passive, ingenuine remarks from the staff. read more

The salmon toast was ridiculously good. Coffee and Chai was very good. People were friendly. Was nice and quiet and peaceful but then they turned on the background music which kind of messed it up but still enjoyable. Definitely will go back. read more

I'm a bit torn here because I want to give a better review. The aesthetic is cool, it seems like a really cool place to have a coffee at. We came by to grab drinks to go and had a meh experience. I tried to order a decaf caramel macchiato and the girl taking our order didn't know what a macchiato was. The other girl behind the counter did and made it but the first one she made wasn't decaf and we had to wait for her to make a decaf one. It was tiny and there was no caramel in it. We also got one of their seasonal drinks and it was decent tasting but ice cold. Overall, our experience was bad, but it seems like a cute place so I want to give it another shot. read more

I love this little garden oasis - I haven't been able to find anything like it anywhere else in Seattle. For cooler days there's indoor seating but the coffee, pastries, and small plates always hit the spot. read more

I chose to go here because it was the closest coffee shop I saw. The few reviews it had at the time (2) were positive - so I figured I'd check it out. This unsuspecting little place is located down short alley which opens up into a neat outdoor/indoor area. The outdoor area even has a cool little fire pit. The drip coffee was better than decent, and the food was tasty and came out quickly. It is a little pricey compared to some, but I'm happy to support a smaller business. You should definitely check this place out! read more

A quiet oasis tucked away just off Market St. Everything I ate was phenomenal: the pimento cheese biscuit sandwich, meatloaf sandwich, and chocolate hazelnut tart. Their mocha was pretty good too. Definitely on my list for a return visit. read more

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Little garden oasis. Doesn't feel like something we "get" to have in Seattle - feels much more California with its indoor/outdoor openness. Excellent setup during COVID. Great coffee and unique menu. We had the peanut butter frosting and jam toast. Super messy but delicious - the bread was so good. Can't wait to try the pimento cheese biscuit! read more

Love sitting outdoors in the patio - nice spot to meet up friends.

Little oasis in the city! Red arrow is the perfect spot to sit down with a great cup of coffee and do some work. Looking forward to coming back again to try out out the food (beyond the delicious scones and cookies I've had so far). read more
