We just have one interaction with this spot so far and it was enough to turn not only me but also my coffee klatch friend off - that was when we reached out to them via email to ask about their holiday hours. First, they have a kinda funny but could be questionable in terms of politeness msg on their phone that tells you they never check their messages. Umkay. I mean, I appreciate the honesty and I don't like to check my messages either but also I'm not a business....So, they encourage you to email, which we did. Are you open on this day? One word response: No. I mean, no "Hi" no "Thanks for your interest" Just "No." This might not have been as noticeable if we hadn't received an exact opposite response from another coffee spot that WAS open and sent a very friendly email reply. So...If it was just me I might not be writing this but my friend that does coffee with me immediately also said she was no longer going here if that was how they respond to potential customers. :( Maybe this was a one-off. I'm not against trying this spot in the future and hopefully upgrading my review. read more

They care about the details: not neutral cups, quality roasters they support & brew, beverage quality top tier, great syrup/sauces. Also their customer service is great which can be challenging to find in a lot of cafes. We're from Maryland and spotted out 3/4 must go to cafes, S&F was our first stop and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Seattle thank you for a great experience! read more

Sound & Fog - Brown sugar nutmeg latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

In West Seattle, I would say this one of three of my favorite/go-to coffee shops in the area. It's really one of the first places where I enjoyed a flavored latte. Per this location, their brown sugar nutmeg latte is a staple to me. They do also feature a few seasonal drinks to be on the lookout for. The consistency of the drinks are never changing and the sweet ness in their in house made syrups yield just the right sweetness where it works in harmony to highlight the coffee flavor. Another perk they have is their rewards program where after earning 10 kittens (1 kitter per transaction of I think a minimum $2.50 transaction). You get $5.00 of your next purchase. It used to be any drink free but with increasing costs of goods, I could understand the switch. They also offer a minimalistic ambiance and knickknacks for sale. Last note* no wifi and outside food or drinks allowed to be consumed Anyways try them out. read more

Quaint little coffeeshop tucked away in a quiet street away from the busy roads. Never knew this place existed, but apparently they opened about 8 years ago. I originally came in because I needed a place to work on my laptop while my car was being worked on nearby. Unfortunately this place has limited seating and no wifi. Most of the lower reviews I see for Sound & Fog are because of this issue, but I personally don't think this should be the big reason for lowering the rating down. I still wanted to support this small business, so I ordered the butterfly pea drink after seeing so many photos of this mystical blue drink. It's essentially a milk tea with a floral taste-profile, and after the first sip I had already knew this was incredible. The drink itself was a pleasant experience and warmed me up during the cold day. I would come back just for this drink again, and would also be interested in trying out their other beverages. read more

One of my most frequented coffee shops in West Seattle! No wifi, so bring a friend or a book or a hotspot :) You order at the counter and make your way down to the register. They sell ceramics from Copenhagen and source coffee beans from all over. Beans are rotating. Check their IG! They also have a bunch of wine to choose from. Brown sugar nutmeg latte: this is usually my ole reliable because I know it's good. Not too sweet, good espresso, and some latte art read more

Sound & Fog - Brown sugar nutmeg oat milk latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Small neighborhood coffee shop located in West Seattle. Parking is easy to find. The interior is pretty with plenty of seating (wasn't busy). They also sell a selection of wine. But no WiFi, wouldn't come here to study or work. Outdoor seating also available. We ordered the Sound & Fog Latte (Iced) and Iced Tiramisu Latte (Seasonal). The Sound & Fog reminded me of a mix of a florally earl gray tea and cereal milk. Interesting flavor, kept sipping on it. The Tiramisu Latte was great! Exactly what it sounds with coffee flavor too. I would recommend this one if you like Tiramisu. Doesn't stand out, but solid if you find a drink here you enjoy! read more

Good selection of beans and equipment. Baristas are pleasant and friendly. Good selection of drinks, with house made specialties like the tiramisu latte. I got the nitro cold brew with the tiramisu cream top, cream was delicious, nitro was slightly sour. Overall, love this space and the ability to just sit and chill for a bit. read more

Sound & Fog - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a really cute little spot! Very modern and clean and has a small but unique menu. I really liked my Sound & Fog Tea Latte and my partner had a seasonal Brown Sugar and Nutmeg Latte. The barista was friendly and helpful and did some nice latte art on top too. Their space is small, but comfy. They do seem to have a patio area that's dog friendly outside weather permitting but dogs are not allowed inside unless they're a service animal. read more

Sound & Fog - Brown Sugar and Nutmeg Latte and Sound and Fog Tea Latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A very cute cafe with delicious drinks and croissants! They also have wine and beer which is unique! The barista is very friendly. Seems like the type of place with regulars that come in for a solid cup of joe. They don't have wifi here. Came here in the morning to grab a quick bite and some caffeine. I got the london fog and my husband got a latte with cardamom in it. He said the latte reminded him of holiday ham upon first sip but then afterwards he really enjoyed it hahaha.... We got this croissant pastry with an orange syrup on it and it was so GOOD! omg i could have eaten more than one. Overall, a cute little cafe spot to stop at if you're nearby! read more

Sound & Fog - a croissant on a plate with two cups of coffee - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been to sound & fog a few times since moving here and I think their espresso is great. This time I went I was very disappointed which the drinks I ordered. We ordered a 16oz latte and a 16oz matcha lemonade. The matcha lemonade was nice and refreshing, but the matcha was practically nonexistent. The latte was basically just milk. We watched the barista making the latte and I thought a 16oz latte normally comes with two shots of espresso, but the barista only added one. So our drinks were not good, but the beans we got were pretty good! read more

No WiFi at a coffee shop? I literally went here to study haha. Missed that part in the reviews. This place is decorated really well, there is a big empty lot Nextdoor, kinda wish they expanded and made a little patio out there, oh, and offer WiFi haha. They sell typical coffee shop merch plus bottled wine. read more

Really impressed by this place, even came back for a second coffee after enjoying the first one while wandering the local market. Parking sucks, but I won't hold it against them as it's worth the fight/walk. Great ambiance, great light, and nice folks working there read more

Delicious coffee and espresso drinks. Try the brown sugar and nutmeg latte. Worth the trip.

I love this coffee shop. On my Seattle trip this coffee shop was by far my favorite because of my drink and the ambiance. I told the barista that I would like extra syrup in my latte and while he was making it, he showed me how much syrup he's putting in there and asked if it was enough :) the drink was amazing we almost came back the second day, but wanted to try other coffee shops in west Seattle There's ample lighting in there as well with cute chairs and tables outside read more

Strawberry banana muffin topped with cinnamon sugar was delicious! And the vibe of this place is really cool. Doesn't have WiFi which I get from a business stand point but is unfortunate for an entrepreneur wanting to sit outside a coffee shop to enjoy some coffee and work. The sound & fog latte was pretty powdery which was a little disappointing but I've had other drinks here that were good. Super cool that they also have wine & beer which makes it a fun spot after work! read more

Sound & Fog - Sound & fog latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A great neighborhood coffee spot that feels a bit hidden and tucked away from the main streets. I actually kind of prefer it that way, though, as it makes for an easy and quiet spot to just sit, get some work done, and have good coffee. I've ordered their latte and matcha latte on separate occasions. Both drinks were good and the barista was very friendly. Love that they also have wine options, too. The mini shop they have set up looked very interesting, with various single origin beans, a few coffee gadgets / essentials, and specialty chocolates. Prices are maybe comparable to a notable large franchise coffee chain, but the drinks here are better. read more

Just wasn't impressed with the selection the atmosphere or the flavor of coffee used for my Americana

Delicious coffee! I got a hazelnut latte with oat milk and it was everything I wanted in my latte. I asked for 1/2 pump of hazelnut and it was perfect. Definitely recommend coming here for coffee! Hidden gem! read more

Sound & Fog - Hazelnut latte - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sound & Fog is a really nice cafe. I love that it is walkable from my place. There is ample seating inside and out. The lattes are amazing. The beautiful latte art on the surface of our drinks made us stop and take a picture before we enjoyed them. There are sweet and savory offerings to go with your drink order. The baristas were very pleasant and efficient. We enjoyed checking out the selection of coffee beans, chocolate, wine and cute swag. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because there is no WiFi and no oven to warm the pastries and biscuits. I will still frequent this cafe and I'm pretty sure I will give it a 5 once they get a warming oven! read more

great matcha! the shop was really cute. lots of bottled drink options as well. i should've tried the pastries as they looked delicious. i feel like the baristas hated me but i think it was just their cool persona lmao. read more

I dig the unique name and rather sleepy offbeat location. Spacious few seating options inside or outside. A retail shelf is a neat buffer between the coffee bar and seats. Just a neat spot with staff ranging from indifferent, friendly and subtle curmudgeon. They know awesome artisanal craft coffee and make great oat decaf lattes; nice feel & smooth. If you get your coffee with one of their house syrups - such as the cardamom, that's some cool beans. read more

My significant other/hubby & I used to live in the area. I was introduced to their squash bread. I loved it so my hubby would always surprise me with squash bread and an iced mocha every so often. Wish I knew what was in it!! Service was great & staff eventually knew us by name & what we ordered. read more

I can just for the blue latte which is actually a tea latte called sound and fog. The service was quick and friendly. The cardamon latte was decent and a little watered down. The blue latte however was the best! I will definitely return just for that. Parking can be a little problematic and you will need to parallel park read more

It was my first time here in years and it is still one of my favorite spots. I mean.. I place with coffee, beer, and wine???? Automatically the best! Lol They have a wide selection of beverages as well as merchandise and pastries. - I got their matcha and it was delicious! I appreciate them taking to weigh everything out and whisk the matcha powder. I think the water:milk ratio is a little heavy on the water side in my opinion but I didn't mind. fhe sweetness level is perfect and I would definitely come here again for one! - my mom got the brown sugar nutmeg latte and it was so yummy but she couldnt taste the nutmeg - my dad got the white mocha americano and it wasn't his favorite. In his opinion it tasted weak and sour, the white mocha tasted unusual and he couldn't finish his beverage. The cup also had over an inch of room which was interesting There are lots of seating inside and out making it a great place to meet up with friends but note they do not offer wifi so I wouldn't suggest working here-- unless you have a strong hotspot! Service was pretty meh, not friendly or personable. I did appreciate watching them take their time with each beverage though. Overall, I do love this place for the quality in their drinks. I can see myself grabbing-and-going. read more

Interesting little stop. I don't see a lot of coffee and wine shops in my neck of the woods. The coffee was the kind of high quality you would expect from a place like this. If you're hungry, asked to try one of their homemade pop tarts, they don't keep them on display because I they're so popular! The guava cream one I had was to die for read more

I would rightfully add this to a list of best Seattle coffee spots in terms of quality. It's quite small and hidden, and appears to be a lesser known spot. You aren't meant to work here, only appreciate coffee, which is why they don't give wifi passwords. And you will, indeed, enjoy the coffee. read more

Sound & Fog - Signature Sound & Fog Latte (has butterfly pea) - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sound & Fog stands out to me for two reasons - it's variety and quality for both coffee and natural wine. I wouldn't say this coffee shop is super warm or inviting, it feels more like a retail shop than anything else (although you can drink your beverage there). There's a cooler for to-go beverages as well as shelves with uniquely sourced coffee, merchandise, and curated picks of wines and aperitifs. The staff has been friendly every time that I've come here and the drinks I've gotten have been delicious. Pricing is inline with premium coffee shops in the area. read more

A cute modern coffee shop that deserves all of its 5 Stars and more! My GF and I have refrained from trying coffee shops in the past since the experience often lead to sour, overly bitter, or burnt coffee. However this place has reignited that desire to explore and discover the delicious treat best served in the morning. We were greeted with a warm welcome upon entry. To be safe we ordered the latte, mocha and cold brew and wow we were surprised! All of them were so rich/bold in flavor and had a smooth finish. This is the experience we had been craving for. The espresso has a beautiful sweet crema that allows them to make gorgeous latte art. You can really tell that these baristas are masters at their craft just by seeing how they prepare each cup. Besides coffee, they also sell some pastries that compliment the coffee quite well like, croissants, macarons, etc. They also sell wine, beer, and some merchandise which was not so common, but very cool to see. I definitely plant to come back and buy some of their coffee beans so I can brew it at home. I'd highly recommend coming here to get your coffee/tea fix. You will not be disappointed! read more

Sound & Fog - Whole milk latte to go. - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute little coffee shop here in West Seattle right behind the busy Fauntleroy road. Stopped by and grabbed a spiced chai latte (which I loved) and an apple cider (divine). Both drinks were on point and tasted great. Staff is friendly and they do have some merchandise is store available for purchase. I would love for them to have a loyalty punch card so I can keep visiting them daily if not weekly. Lovely that we have such a nice coffee shop in our West Seattle neighborhood. Highly recommend! read more

A friend used to live in West Seattle, and I have visited Sound & Fog several times because it was her favorite coffee spot. Went there again yesterday to have a cortado and buy some beans. They always have an interesting selection of beans from multiple roasters on offer--I bought beans from Calendar Coffee in Galway, Ireland. In addition to their staple of beans from Heart Roasters (their house espresso) they had beans from Little Wolf and Talor (and maybe one more). I love that these are always rotating--it is a good place to learn about/try something new. The cortado was great, as have been all the coffees I had here. During the pandemic, they do not have any indoor seating but have taken the opportunity to display some coffee related items for sale, including some great cups/mugs. An excellent coffee shop. read more

Easily my favorite, and dare I say the best, coffee shop in west Seattle. The coffee is always dialed in perfectly, whether drip (filter) or espresso. The beans they use are from some of the best and most highly regarded roasters in the world. The party selection from Sea Wolf and others has you covered for a quick breakfast carb hit. No WiFi, no proper breakfast or yogurts here, but they do have a nice, small selection of low-intervention wines, even N/A. Really love the high quality of what they're doing. read more
