    Cold Brew with Oat Milk
    Joel H.

    The other coffee shops I visited during my trip to Seattle were sanitized, heartless establishments. The drinks were good but there was nothing thought provoking, nothing that made me look inward and reflect on myself as a person. The Station is the antithesis of these other shops. The Station is easy to get to from the Link. Exit the Beacon Hill station, turn right, walk across the street and you have arrived. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Inside you will find the walls covered with vivid art, a bulletin board overflowing with inclusivity that the Station seems to pride itself on, a stereo system sending out sounds and, of course, a drink and food menu. I opted for the Haitian Cold Brew with Oat Milk during my visit. The cold brew and oat milk combo was really good. It was smooth and bold. Despite being such a good drink, the price was much less than the other coffee shops I came across in Downtown. The Station definitely could've charged more for the quality they were selling. Overall, great drink, good vibes, inclusive environment.

    Great coffee shop stop in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, this time I was there to support some friends that are part of the Seattle Urban Book Expo. Lots of unique and flavorful coffee and teas to choose from, the breakfast menu looked delicious, looking forward to a morning stop to try it out. Lots of art throughout supporting local artists. The adult beverages offered also support the local community. Staff was very friendly with quick service and answered any questions. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon, to try some coffee and check out more of the Beacon Hill area. Happy Yelping! Cheers!

    Bustling coffee shop with a cozy interior, delicious espresso drinks, and tasty pastries/bites. The oat milk latte ($4.25 for a small) was smooth and creamy. Blueberry scone ($3) was a great size, buttermilk-y, soft, lemon scented and studded with blueberries. They also had a giant list of delicious sounding specialty lattes! Can't wait to come back and try more items!

    This small Cafe in Beacon Hill is so beautiful! I have never explored around the Beacon hill and was happy to meet a friend here. I'm surprised how this is so under-rated around the area. This definitely is a local gem, as the locals and baristas knew each other. I picked the house favorite D Angelo coffee withe brown sugar, it was so good. There is a community book cupboard where you can drop and pick books and a community garden where you can pick seeds too. I ll definitely go back to donate some books in the future.

    Such a wonderful cafe and community gathering space! Very welcoming, good amount of seating inside, and all around nice atmosphere. Came here twice within a week! Solid food and drink offerings for a good price. The first time I got the Mexican mocha and second time I got a soy latte. Both great! Some pastries they get from other local bakeries where some they make in house like their biscuit which my sister got and looked delicious. So happy to discover this local coffee shop in my neighborhood!

    I wish I would have gotten her name to give her a proper shoutout, but the woman with the glasses and the gorgeous hair made the best latte I have had in I don't know how long. I typically get a quad vanilla latte, and I'm pretty used to getting a coffee with dead shots (bitter and not ideal to drink), due to how they've been pulled. This coffee is so freaking good, thank you!! I also got the Breakfast Sandwich which is a simple sausage egg and cheese option, but the quality is good and the chipotle sauce kicks it up a notch. (Not pictured because it's already gone lol) Definitely will be back.

    While down in Seattle I looked up coffee that wasn't Starbucks. I came across this place and it's the place I never knew I needed! The delightful cafe has a local artist work displayed and available for sale. In addition, there was a women setting up her plants to sell as well. The menu featured a variety of coffee and wine/mimosa options for drinks and had a delicious breakfast menu. My husband and I ordered two mimosas, a breakfast sandwich and their oatmeal. The person working the register was attentive, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

    The Station is a cool spot on Beacon Hill for coffee and grub. I visited The Station in need of some caffeine, as it's super close to the Beacon Hill light rail station and other businesses. The Station has a full menu, along with pastries, snacks and a full espresso menu. And, tea. One of these days I'm gonna get on that biscuits and gravy train, which they offer here! The cafe is spacious, and when I visited on a Sunday morning there were a few people working inside. I ordered a cold brew and it was solid. Service was easy and quick for getting my coffee to-go. I'm glad to learn about The Station, as I often visit Beacon Hill since one of my besties lives in the area. The location is accessible by public transit and street parking can be found around the neighborhood.

    No lactose-free milk options without a premium. :/ You'd think with Starbucks getting in trouble for such, there would be at least one.

    Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.

I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

So many of our regular spots had lines out the door, which was no surprise, but we ended up getting a table here. Figured Mexican food is hard to mess up. Started with drinks- THE BEST MARGARITA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, just perfect to me. My fiance got a horchata and loved it too. They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely. Really cool vibe- lots of art and special touches. A really cool place that I can't wait to recommend to friends.

Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!

This is becoming a trend and I'm avoiding eateries that do this.
