Service was great, and the team worked efficiently together to get our order up quickly. Their Americano was piping hot and rich. The iced latte was also excellent. We also enjoyed their vegetable samosa (served with a dollop of cream cheese drizzled with olive oil and fresh pepper), along with a tasty breakfast bagel sandwich. We chose an everything bagel and it was thinner and filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, sliced turkey, sliced cheese and cream cheese--it tasted even better with their housemade hot sauce.

The owner recommended tiramisu cream cheese to go with it and he's not wrong haha. The sweetness balanced the saltiness well. 100% would go back. The shop's pretty small, has about five seats total.

Staff was welcoming and helpful when ordering, I got the BEC (bacon, egg, & cheese) on an Everything bagel, it was mid, tasted like all one note, the eggs was overcooked, I should of added hot sauce or something to give it another layer of flavor, the press also burns the sesame seeds on the outside so there's a burnt flavor to the bagel - substitute another bagel and you might not have the same issue. Overall there was nothing to rave about and my bagel hunt will continue!

Not located too far from Pike Place itself, this place isn't too crowded on a Friday afternoon…read morearound 3pm. This place has a nice, minimalistic interior with the Social Grounds and Pike Place logos on their walls. Windows here let in a ton of natural light, and you can do your laptop work here since it isn't overly noisy besides the mainstream music popping in the background. Staff were very helpful and kind, and gave me some recommendations on what to get here, most notably their matcha drinks. I decided on the peach matcha for this visit. The matcha quality was only okay at best, and it was overly sweetened in general like vanilla. Presentation though was on point though with the whip cream on top of the drink similar to an einspanner one of my friends got before here, and I loved seeing that layer of peach below, even though it was tough to stir even with their straws. Drink is quite big for the $9 price tag compared to other recent places around the area, so you're getting a lot more here! I just probably had a one-off experience with the matcha, so I'll come back to try their coffee instead.

Cafe Artisan serves fantastic banh mis! The bread was super crispy and not too thick and the…read moregrilled pork was juicy and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed their house sauce, I feel like most banh mi shops just put mayo on their banh mi but Cafe Artisan's house sauce includes garlic and some other spices that I thought added a lot of flavor to the overall sandwich. My two recent banh mis were in SF (Saigon, L&G) and this is quite a bit better than both of them; I actually enjoyed eating this sandwich beyond its nutritional value. Overall, the banh mi is quite cheap for downtown Seattle food ($12), portions are large (especially the meat), and it's quite tasty - highly recommend! The cafe is pretty quiet and most people seem to do takeout. The staff are super nice and friendly. There are other sandwiches aside from banh mis here, might try them next time (and will update this review if I do). 4.6/5

The kitchen was closed but the shop still had a few offerings including one of my favorites, chorizo with potatoes. I ordered a chai to go along with it and it was everything i needed that early Sunday. The chorizo order was small but plentiful and i ended up skipping lunch that day as I continued to walk to the city. The salsa was very tasty too! The staff was super friendly and greeted me with a smile and great service. I loved the deco which also brought back some childhood memories thanks to the art work on the wall. Plenty of tables, super clean and they are also dog friendly. I'll have to put this place on my list next time I'm back. Thank you for a great first experience.

Their prices were super reasonable especially in downtown Seattle. The place instead is decorated cutely with multiple tables, a couch, and cute umbrellas on the ceiling and flowers. They also do latte art so that's cool to see! I got their brie and ham sandwich, and it was okay, I just love brie cheese. The latte though, that was the best. I got their horchata latte and it was delicious and cute!

I even ran across the street from our hotel to get the churro Cruffin and a double espresso. The bathrooms are clean and had a coat on it and the weight stop was very helpful and kind.

On my most recent visit, I also tried the black sesame bagel with butter. It was good, but there was a bit more butter than I would have preferred, and the standard toast wasn't quite crispy enough for my liking. That's an easy fix though, and I'll just ask for it toasted a bit longer and less butter next time. I really love the location of this spot and am hoping to check out their other location soon. They share a great outdoor seating area with Sea Wolf Bakers and also have a small amount of indoor seating. There's usually a line on weekday mornings and a longer one on weekends, but it moves surprisingly quickly, so the wait has never felt unreasonable. One thing I especially appreciate is how light these bagels are compared to some other Seattle bagel shops. They have a great chew without feeling overly dense. Service has always been friendly and efficient. I still haven't tried any of their fish sandwiches, but that's next on my list. Until then, I'm perfectly happy sticking with a classic sesame bagel and cream cheese.
