A great bagel sandwich! The bagel itself was store bought so it was nothing special but I really liked the veggie egg and cheese bagel sandwich (the garlic aioli pushed it over the edge) and liked that they incorporated arugula into the bagel sandwich as well. Service was quick and the ambiance was nice. Would recommend as a place to grab a quick breakfast with a friend before heading to the water or as a study spot! read more

Seafab!!!! I ordered an iced vanilla chai latte with soy milk. Dare I say it was the best chai I've had in a while!!!!! The chai was rich and comforting, and the vanilla added a pleasureful sweetness. The ambiance is a cute shop that gives beachy vibes. The people there are super helpful and welcoming too!! Only difficult part was parking- which took awhile to do. If you're a chai person like me, check this place out! read more

I had the sausage breakfast sandwich and wow, it was delicious! I will definitely be getting this again. Additionally I had a pink lotus with white peach, rose, and strawberry, and it was so good. That specific combination was in fact a recommendation of the worker, who was very kind and helpful. The cafe is cozy, and serves for a perfect study spot. Overall, I loved seafab and will definitely be back. read more

Seafab Cafe - Caramel Latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Seafab cafe must be one of the cafes in the most scenic areas. It's right near the water and has the cutest ocean theme. My drink came out right away since it wasn't busy at 10 am on a Monday. Also, the barista helped me choose a vegetarian food option and was very kind. In terms of the food, I enjoyed the veggie burrito. It had sweet potatoes and egg pieces and was overall yummy and super filling. I think it would be perfect if they offered salsa along with it. Additionally, the matcha was just ok. The matcha itself felt pretty low quality but it was still enjoyable. I think if they got a better quality matcha and gave customers sweetness options, they could improve on it. The whip cream I added was good though and the prices were decent. read more

A cool pace that is located along the dock where you can see boats outside the window. The cafe has some simple meal options as well as a variety of drinks. I had a tea lemonade here and it was decently made. The vibe here is nice and chill with people studying and for a small get together. read more

Very nice environment, inviting and with good music. A bit sad that today's sandwich bread was cold. First time experiencing this even sadder as it was a cold day. Too late to comeback as I took it to go. read more

Great choice for a quick breakfast or a place to study! I first came across this place a year ago, and I loved their breakfast burritos, so I thought to come again and try some other items. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and it was a fantastic choice. My only critique would be that I was hoping it would be spicier and maybe had a little bit more sauce, but the chicken was cooked very well! Excellent size as well, definitely worth the price. The coffee was okay, nothing special. I was charged extra for a small splash of oatmilk in my Americano, which is not usual for a cafe, so that was small let-down. Would still consider returning! read more

We grabbed a quick breakfast here and thought it was a spacious and casual place to eat and just hang out. It has lots of seating; it's nice to sit by the windows and look out to the boats and water. We had a breakfast sandwich, burrito, and salmon bagel. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. The breakfast sandwich had good flavor, but the bread was a bit thick, dry, and crumbly. The salmon bagel had a pretty decent amount of salmon, which was nice! read more

The London fog is definitely worth the hype. I heard like 5/6 people after me order one too. The bagel sandwich was tasty and fresh which was nice. The cafe has some interesting vibes where it feels like it might have been like a mini golf course or 70's era appliance store, but was remodeled to have chairs. It's got lots of natural light and seating though which was good for me as a reader with my book. They have a sign that says service animals only which is a bummer, as I'd be more likely to come back if I could bring my dogs. read more

Cute place with lots of seating, reasonable prices with decent coffee and friendly staff! One thing I don't understand is it's right on the water, so why are all the windows facing the parking lot? read more

YES YES YES I LOVE Seafab! This is like the only place in UDistrict with Lotus and I'm so here for it. They have stamp cards and so many drink options. Price isn't that bad!!! So slay. So much seating, and if you can get it there's free 2 hour parking. What a little gem tucked away in west campus. FOOOOD was AMAZING!!! The eggs aren't those premade eggs they use fresh ones. All the bread was so good. I really loved the egg and cheese. Service was so sweet. They were really nice and patient with our order. Inside there's some people doing homework, taking Zoom calls, and chatting. I found my new favorite spot!!! :) read more

Cute cafe by the water in Udistrict. The prices reflect the ambiance. It cost me $30 for a full sandwich (Cuban) and a coffee with oat milk (summer special S'mores Mocha). Very expensive especially because the sandwich was quite small. It came with a small side salad that was pretty mediocre as well. The sandwich wasn't anything amazing taste-wise either. The tea just uses tea bags that's still left in your drink when served to you. There is a large self-seating area and I saw many people working on their laptops there. There are single stall restrooms. There is no parking except for street parking. read more

Great prices, great options, great space. Seafab Cafe is huge with a lot of parking. Love having this as a weekend breakfast option with a nice ambiance. I've had the breakfast sandwich (with and without bagel - bagel is GREAT but sometimes out of stock) and the burrito and they're fabulous. There can be a decent wait for food during hot hours, but that's to be expected since they have a large space and can accommodate a lot of people. read more

A cool place near campus to study and grab a bite! The service is always great and the baristas are always kind! There is plenty of seating, however it can get packed! Endless of food options including acai bowls! But beware the peanut butter powder if sprinkled on top... I was expecting the powder to be mixed in but regardless still yummy and nutritious! read more

I am a long time lover of Sea Fab. I enjoy being near the water, the staff is reasonably friendly and the coffee is fine. I enjoy my walk to the Cafe along the Burke Gilmore Trail from my home in Wallingford. It is FREEZING in the winter, though. It does not feel as if Sea Fab is even heated. I shall return in the spring. read more

I would prefer to use a kiosk rather than deal with the grumpy young person at the register. She rolled her eyes dramatically when I asked her to simply warm up my food. I understand you might be having a bad day, but here's a free tip: "fake it till you make it." read more

Yummy coffee and food! I love the iced white mocha and the staff is always super nice :) also close to the health sciences buildings at UW so it's easy to pop over between classes! read more

Good service and food quality. Breakfast sandwiches are really good. Coffee is good. The Cuban was ok. My issue was the menu states different types of bread for certain sandwiches, the "Not A Cuban on Ciabatta" says in the description it is on a "sweet roll" but-like the name says- it was on the same ciabatta roll that my bacon breakfast sandwich comes on...maybe I would have liked it more on the sweet roll? Not sure why description and name do not match. I go there regularly. And they have PARKING. read more

favorite cafe in seattle. located on the water and seems like a real local's spot. great to study/work (fair number of outlets and tables), but also a nice place to stop by on a run/walk to grab a coffee. bring your own tumbler to avoid wasting a disposable cup! read more

Their breakfast sandwich lives rent free in my head. I order the bacon, egg and cheese on ciabatta and the arugula is such a refreshing add. It's even yummier with a little bit of hot sauce. Would definitely say the prices are a little on the higher end but it's worth it for an amazing sandwich every once in a while and they're conveniently located near UW campus along the water. read more

the proximity to water gives the store a lot of ambiance due to the views, but the set up of the store is very cute as well. i loved the bacon egg and cheese sandwich. the cherry blossom matcha, however, tasted more so like cherry milk with a hint of matcha. servers were very efficient tho. read more

Very cute cafe! Near the water and lots of seating and played fun music. The drink and food wasn't super fast, but i've got things at far longer waits at other cafes so I didn't mind. The pastry was delicious, but Macrina pastries always are. Drink was a medium price, not too expensive but not the cheapest. I came here to read and have a drink and it was great for that. Highly recommend for a casual cafe experience. read more

The vibe is great but the last few times I've gone in the specialty lattes have been sickeningly sweet. I had to throw away the one I most recently ordered. It wasn't edible. If I wanted to do a plain latte, I can just make one at home. read more

I woke up ravenous, encased in sweat from what seems to be this city's anti-AC policy. Tim and I headed down to a small, university cafe by the elicited name above. The entrance resembled a recently renovated storage unit, covered in faux foliage and the aura of liberal costal elites. Tim and I were ill impressed. I ordered what seemed like a safe option, a sausage, egg, and cheese burrito. What I thought was safe ended up being a gastrointestinal disaster. My burrito was stuffed with what gleaned to be Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage and the remnants from a pan of scrambled eggs. After a couple bites, I decided it was best to console my hunger with sips of cold brew. Overall, not my favorite to wake up to, but coffee was solid. Anyways that's all from me! Stay safe, stay Seattle! read more

Seafab Cafe - Said burrito - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

GURRLLLL DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED. The service was nice although it seemed like the trainee at the counter had yet to even clocked in. Mentally speaking of course. I was overcharged for both of my items because after I ordered and payed I was informed they were out and they offered me cheaper alternatives. The sausage, "egg", and "cheese" burrito was more of a sausage, sausage, and more sausage burrito. The Red Bull Italian soda was just Red Bull with whip cream. The ambiance is as if you took a mid century modern home that needed to be remodeled and then took away the air conditioning. Overall not very impressed. Next time I'll be taking my business elsewhere. XOXO Ben. read more

I work nearby and have been going here 4-5 times a week for a while and I've been liking it less and less recently. Where they have gone too far is with the giant touch screen kiosk. I HATE it. It makes the place feel way less personal, way less comfortable, and really gives the vibe of a strip mall boba shop that will probably be replaced by a different strip mall boba shop in a few months. It's just so sad that it's lost the comfortable Seattle cafe atmosphere since there aren't very many non-dormitory food and drink options south of Campus Parkway. That said, the staff is friendly, the drinks are well made, and it's a nice space when it's not completely overrun by study groups. read more

Please, please get rid of the ordering kiosk. I want to speak to a human, I dont want to navigate menus and addition buttons to construct my drink. I am paying 7 dollars for a latte. It slows things down and takes a job away from a worker. I am a 5x a week regular that will be taking my business to Husky Grind or Saint Bread if this stays. read more

I love this place, especially their seasonal drinks and the mocha (you can ask for dark chocolate or milk chocolate). They have lots of tables so it's a good place to meet up with people for coffee and the staff is always very friendly. read more

I really like this place. Came in because I had a bit of spare time before an appointment. Food was good and coffee was hot. I appreciated the kind staff member working and the ambiance was great. Not super crowded and lots of seating. Prices were high but I left with half a breakfast Sammie and cup of coffee for $10. Will definitely return. read more

Best cafe ever. Been coming here every Tuesday since school started back up. Lots of outlets and seating, good coffee and a variety of lunch and pastries, two gender neutral bathrooms (which are very themed), lovely view of the water.

Seafab Cafe - Out the boat window - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like this must be said. The service and energy in this cafe are awful. I used to come in last school year quite often and the staff was always kind and attentive. After coming back from being gone all summer, it seems like there is a totally new staff and they are not as nice as they once were. In particular, there is a woman with darker hair who has been there almost every time I have gone in there recently and she is always rude to me. She has an attitude that she does not want to be there or serve me. They serve frozen, pre-made food that is just thrown in the microwave. And then they charge $12 for one tiny sandwich. Coffee quality has gone down, too. I would often purchase a plain latte so that I could enjoy the flavor of the espresso. Now, I cannot even bear the bitterness of the coffee; I have to add sweetener. Also, they took out the couches, I loved the couches! Why would they do that???? I don't come in here anymore and neither should you. Don't waste your time or your money at this establishment. read more

During a cold, rainy Seattle day this place is indoors and warm. The black coffee is okay too. Those are the only positive things I can say about Seafab Cafe. Now for the reason for the very poor review of this cafe. On the day that my wife, son, and I visited I ordered a goat cheese avocado toast and a salmon avocado toast. I ordered at the counter, picked up the boxes at a counter at the kitchen, and took the boxes back to our tables. Because we waited some 30 minutes for them, we were hungry. They were the worst avocado toasts I've ever had. No exaggeration. Instead of slices of avocado or a layer of crushed, prepared avocado, there was a butter-like smear of avocado that barely covered the area of the bagels they were on --- and the bagel beneath the avocado smear was visible it was so little. Even buttered toast gets more butter than the avocado on the avocado toast that we got. At $9.99 for the goat cheese avocado toast and $11.99 for the salmon avocado toast (which had a couple of chunks of salmon) they were a ripoff. If you need a reprieve from the weather, then go to this place. Outside of that, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Seems a bit understaffed. Not a fan of the kiosk, has been very glitchy. It ruins the human connection i desire. Every time i would come here to study, excited to see the cute barista. Every week we would have conversations, and i have been getting up the courage to ask for their number. This can never happen now I am never coming back here again. read more

I've been a long time lover of Seafab. Best London Fog, best atmosphere with good music and always friendly staff! That being said, with the change of ownership came a change to the menu. Speaking on behalf of the gluten free (Celiac!!) community, it is extremely disappointing that the new owner doesn't see the value in offering gluten free bread options anymore. The staff has always been extremely accommodating and kind dealing with allergies, I just hope that this can be reflected in the ownership of the cafe! As a UW student trying to fill her brain with knowledge and good food, I hope the accessibility of Seafab as a safe spot to gather with friends and study can be valued under the new ownership. All the best, Alison P.S. If you order the spicy chicken in salad form, the staff is more than happy to accommodate, and its' very tasty!! Shoutout to the AWESOME people who keep Seafab lively and fun during intense study (and gossip) sessions :) read more

I used to really like SeaFab but it seems like management has changed and things have gone down hill since. They added a self service kiosk which feels dystopian and cheap, which takes away from the small local cafe feel. It feels super impersonal and takes away work from humans, most likely UW students who need money and tips. Unless the management goes back to how it was and the kiosk goes away, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more
