Sen makes the best cortados in Seattle hands down! It is a pleasure to walk into the cafe and be greeted by Sen's fantastic smile! She remembered my name after my first visit! She is absolutely AWESOME! read more

Yum!! Really tasty coffee and nice places to sit. It's quiet and out of the way, and I felt happier leaving than coming in. Always a good sign. read more

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

This is where the sun shines in Seattle when there is no sun. I love this place! Super nice baristas, not the snarky snarkiness of other spots, and their chocolate croissants are the best in heaven, especially warmed in an oven as they do (and not a mircrowave, which would make them mushy and flatten their flavor). I become happy just thinking about visiting this place. :) read more

I always get latte here, and it is good. The coffee is strong, but it is not acidic and not too overpowering since I can still taste the milk. And also I like this place to study, the music choices that they play are good, so relaxing. There are many tables in both floors and most of the tables that are next to a wall will have an outlet (which is important for me). read more

We had an issue with a yogurt awhile back, that was the fault of the vendor. We felt like Sen really cared and took care of us, which was greatly appreciated. The place is warm, quiet, and serves Macrina baked goods. Win, win, win. read more

So you get many different forms of "sunshine" at this cafe - sunshine in the form of great customer service, great coffee, great pastries. and great ambiance. I've been to this coffee shop a few times, and every single time, I'm greeted with enthusiasm and never feel rushed in my order. Each barista I've encountered has been nothing but sweet and friendly, starts conversations with me, and makes sure to give me a great experience overall. I've tried a few different pastries here, including breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and each time I've been impressed! They have delicious chocolate chip cookies and the baristas are always nice enough to offer to warm them up for you! Overall, this coffee shop has a lot of great natural lighting and two areas where you can settle down for some work or reading, and plenty of outlets are available! I'm happy I was recommended this cafe as it's not too far from home, and look forward to future visits. read more

New to the neighborhood, Sunshine fits in well - Feels a bit uptight, it's not too busy, but overall character is polished and friendly. There is a ton of seating. Upstairs and downstairs areas. Air conditioning is a nice plus on these few brutally hot Seattle days. They have a pretty extensive menu of premade sandwich offerings. Good made-to-order light meal selections as well. They are truly a cafe, not just a coffee place with pastries. Coffee drinks are on par with most Seattle cafes. $2 for an 8oz drip from a carafe seems a little steep however, given the quality (very light body, significant grounds in the brew and on the cool side). Staff are very nice. Without the attitude Ventroux has right around the corner. I've never seen it too busy so I hope they can survive. Best of luck with your enterprise. read more

Lovely cafe in Bryant that I find myself studying at frequently. Coffee is fantastic, and there is a moderate selection of pastries (yum Macrina), including some gluten-free options (Nu-flours!). There is also ice cream! I like Seattle Sunshine most for its space though, which is quite large and features many tables, tasteful music, and a great ambience. It can occasionally get busy here especially on the weekends, but I particularly enjoy the upstairs! read more

Staff is super friendly and warm. Their coffee and food options are really wonderful. Even some Nuflour Gluten Free baked goods. Very quiet atmosphere and lots of tables to do work read more

Americano was really watery and latte tasted mostly just like milk. Not what I expected.

Cutest coffee shop in Ravenna. It feels like an art space. There's a glass hanging sculpture made by the owner (looks like a Chihuly!) and two floors, well-lit by natural light, to do work or enjoy conversation with friends. And the coffee is bomb read more

This is an ideal little cafe. I've dropped by here a few times to meet with friends, have small meetings, and get some work done. Plenty of space to sit, and lots of outlets for your electronics. Their selection of caffeinated drinks is exactly what you'd hope for at a cafe, with a few nice cold drink options, too. Also, their sandwiches are excellent, a real bonus when in need of tasty pick me. Interestingly, this place has a martial arts facility downstairs. I've been to check it out, it looks like a great place to work out. I believe they have Brazilian Ju-jitsu amongst other martial arts. It's an interesting idea, which actual works. If I lived closer, I'd consider joining up. I spoke with staff in both the cafe and gym, they are very polite and endearing. These are the sort of people you want to be running a business in your town. I'll be coming back here, every time I am on this side of town. *A bonus for people on public transit, there is bus stop right outside!* read more

If you are in the Bryant neighborhood and want to get some studying or work done, this is your place. Beautiful space with lots of window seating, natural light and large tables. It doesn't ever seem to get overly crowded. Although you have a slight hum from people talking and moving around it is certainly what I would call quiet. In addition to large tables is comfortable couch style seatng for times where you are just meeting someone for a conversation. The coffee is good to, but I think the space is the main draw here. read more

Super nice staff with some really good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Would definitely come back when in the Seattle area!

Lovely service, cute space, great service and delicious coffee! Will def be back again!

Cute neighborhood spot for solid espresso + getting some work done. Ample tables and seating, high ceilings, and lots of natural light make for a great study spot. There's a small parking lot in the back, and ample street parking in surrounding neighborhoods. Not as crowded as a lot of other coffee shops near UW. read more

Great atmosphere. Love the Chihuley Glass Center Piece. There is a lot of light even in on a grey day. More European feel. New favorite place in a great neighborhood! read more

Seattle Sunshine Coffee - Lovley! Definitely will be back! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. Their earl grey was okay and the harvest squash bread was underwhelming. The staff was really nice! The atmosphere was clean and not too noisy which I think makes a great environment for studying. The tea was 3$ no matter what size which is kind of pricy for an average cup of tea. But that's just me. read more

I came last year for a show and got a latte to go. I love the interior and the modern feel of the cafe. I wanted to stay but we were in a rush. The barista was super sweet and complimented us on our GN'R shirts as we had seen the show the day before. Prices are fair market value. read more

Good drinks, great service. I come here all the time and the staff is incredible. High quality ingredients in both the drinks and food.

Fantastic wonderful coffee stop love the area. All the young gals that work there are customer friendly.

I love this place! The people here are always friendly, the coffee and cappuccino drinks are great (they serve Lighthouse Roasters), and there's always something for me from the food or pastry offerings. Plenty of spacious seating, nice atmosphere, free WiFi and parking never seems to be an issue when we go. I really hope the business is successful because I love having Seattle Sunshine Coffee in the neighborhood. read more

Seattle Sunshine Coffee - Our delicious mocha and latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow, I love their mochas and lattes! The difference in their drinks is the delicate balance of being full of flavor while always tasting extremely smooth. The designs are so beautiful as well :) The café is aptly named as they brighten each day with quality drinks, food, and service! I highly recommend Seattle Sunshine Coffee!! read more

Seattle Sunshine Coffee - The first time I've seen such beautiful art with soy milk!! Thank you Sen! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my new favorite cafes for studying near UVillage! I usually go to Zoka's nearby because it's spacious, but recently it's been crowded with people and their coffee is overpriced coffee. I love the modern decor here at Seattle Sunshine and there are tons of tables, outlets, and even couches! Also the coffee is absolutely delicious! Espresso tasted very rich and the milk was steamed to perfection. There's also a decent selection of pastries, Ellenos yogurt, and sandwiches to munch on if you're hungry :) read more

Yum!!!! I got a beautiful little vanilla latte here and was pretty impressed by the barista's foamed art on it. The latte itself was perfectly sweetened. I hate it when I have to wonder whether the barista forgot to add vanilla. The space was so clean, modern, and cozy at the same time. Perfect place to do some reading and have a pastry while you're at it. My favorite thing was that their pastry case featured goods from multiple local bakeries instead of just one. At the time, I saw Macrina, Le fournil, and a few others I had not been to before. The barista said they also rotate the bakeries featured, which I thought was a really cool way to support local. read more

The place is nice and spacious. I love the upstairs seating, but the view from outside the window isn't particularly that great. The pastries are also mediocre (although I do recommend the pumpkin bread), but it's great for when you need to get work done in a relatively quiet place. read more

This is my second time here now, and I am sold! I love the overall ambiance when you walk in. The windows let in a ton of light and the space feels clean and organized. The people here are friendly and relaxed. I don't feel like I have to order my drink quickly. The espresso is delicious. Im not sure who makes it, but it's nice and strong. I have tried both iced and hot americanos now. Another important part of a coffee shop for me is the food. I usually am ready for a bite to eat. I tried the O'brien breakfast burrito and the caprese sandwich. They both got warmed up in the panini and were delicious! I'm excited to try the cookies next time around. The employees have been extremely friendly and helpful thus far. Im also happy about how the shop tries to reduces the use of disposable cups! They have cute metal cups for water and a compost bin too! I'm excited to keep coming back! read more

Came here one afternoon to study. The ambience was very chill, not too many people during the day. There's a lot of natural light from the windows which is greatly appreciated. A few things that I didn't quite do it for me was the music and the barista. The music was a bit too loud and music choice didn't mesh with my taste. The barista may have been having a bad day but she wasn't that personable and seemed annoyed both times when I came to her for something. I was able to get my studying in, but I'll probably try another cafe before coming here again. read more

Having just moved to the neighborhood, I thought I'd try this cute neighborhood spot. I stopped in around 11am on a Sunday and ordered a simple drip coffee. This tiny, 8 oz coffee was the worst coffee I've ever purchased. This must have been a bad batch..because the top half was watered down and the bottom half was coffee grounds. The barista was super nice, but you'd think he would notice when there were coffee grounds on the sides and lid. read more

Pretty good tea. Super chill vibe. The people are super kind too. Good place to study and get some work done. It has a lot of natural light and feels really open. It made me feel super relaxed, even though I was cranking through some emails. read more

Amazing staff. Incredible coffee. Seattle Sunshine Coffee does an outstanding job producing deliciously poured lattes packed with tons of love and passion. Sen runs her shop with an immense amount of care and precision. With the stylish chandelier and modern but comfy furnishing, this is the cafe to visit. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Definately my favorite study spot in Seattle. Quite, so maybe I shouldn't tell you about the place :p. Plenty of seating and outlets, far from transients. However, lately their internet has been really spotty, so I really hope they get it fixed. I have had to leave right after I finish a cup because I can't keep a connection. When I can, I spend hours here and keep my cup full (as in I keep ordering/paying for more drinks). Please fix it, or I won't be able to keep driving here from Cap Hill :( read more

Try their hot coco! You'll love it. Great place to work, chat with your friends, and study. They have comfy leather couches first and second floor, plenty of tables to sit. Service has been very friendly ever since it opened. read more

Great coffee and interior design, with plenty of tables and chairs for people to hang out and relax. A nice view of the street to top everything off. read more

place is impressive with I think even GREATER POTENTIAL which I hope the owners might consider. Normally I do NOT like the modern sleek look coffee shop,that is sprouting up around town (broadcast coffee on Roosevelt) not my favorite) but this one has a different coolness to it.....The hanging glass artwork is a SUPER DUPER TOUCH. So nice to look at ......PLUS THE ROOM...Nice size...some artists selling their works on wall be a good touch too? be a very classy venue to have artwork to view.... LIGHTHOUSE COFFEE awesome..., the Americano I had and the mocha my gf had were very good...I do not mind paying a little more for really good and this was that today...so product of coffee very good.. the WATER CUPS are really cool to me..I get so tired of paper or plastic cups. The cups here are the best get your own water cups I have seen in a coffee place.. post cost of refills? I think one refill 75 cents or less is a good move but I get it coffee is expensive but still folks want close to a free refill.... go for modern feel with a little bit of comfy comfy comfy...maybe a touch of fremont in Bryant? suggestions...COMFY CHAIRS. .Some classy sleek black comfortable lounge type chairs upstairs? I prefer chairs over couches but you do have room for both. ..i will be honest with you places that still have four comfy chairs or so to sit are a big draw for us to come..but I also think others like them too(four is good so you can strike up conversations with another pair) . also I suggest to please list the prices or costs of your drinks and sandwiches etc beyond the coffee. .also have a FREE PAPER or two (NY TIMES ALSO GOOD) maybe strangers or weeklys too though too much paper gets old quick but seattle and ny times enough...I bet you could sell some papers as well as I do not see a paper dispenser around. ..(coffee shop van gough by wedgewood broiler sells papers behind counter? free papers are a nice touch. . To be honest this is one of the best spaces I have seen for a coffee shop congratulations...we liked it a lot read more

Great new and very welcome addition to this little corner of Bryant...Great coffee, italian sodas, snacks, pastries, sandwiches, etc. Yesterday on the first day of opening, there was very much a family type atmosphere going on downstairs, some people quietly working in the nice space upstairs, and very kid friendly as you would expect a café in this part of town to be. Barista was super friendly, welcoming, and made a great espresso. Lots of plug ins near the walls for you worker bees out there needing a spot for your laptops/devices. Will become my new regular spot in this 'hood from now on for sure. read more

Spacious and relatively quiet with a clean, modern aesthetic. The barista was super friendly and the cold brew is excellent!

I love this place. They are super friendly and the coffee is great!! I usually order a cappuccino. They always make it right.

This is a neighborhood gem! Great atmosphere, delicious coffee and food, and the owners are delightful. Perfect place to meet a friend, read, or get some work done! read more

This place is the best! Inexpensive with good coffee and baked goods/sandwiches, and always lots of seating (there's a substantial upstairs with about a dozen tables) - I've never come in ready to study only to find that there's not a place to get comfy. The owner's are almost always there working, and are very personable and warm. They go out of their way to remember you, even though they have plenty of regulars. They have local artist's work up on the walls for sale, and an elongated blown glass sculpture hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the cafe that is very pretty in all shades of blue. In the hallway for the bathroom there's a wall that's papered with posters for events (good for perusing when waiting for the bathroom), and there's a cork board for community posting (music lessons, apt hunting, etc. that kind of thing). The music is usually something calm, jazz or something slightly upbeat but still soothing/background noise, but not Top 40 or songs you've heard a million times. It's not overly loud so pretty easy to tune out if you don't like it. I love this place and am so glad that it exists! I love the atmosphere and the mochas so it's my go-to spot for studying and writing :) read more
