Vanessa's unwind café is exceptional. She is very detail oriented and makes one hell of a cup of coffee--the best in Seattle I've ever had. read more

Unwind Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Poor coffee & moody staff. They don't even care for it - just over froth the milk and dump it in a cup. Moody staff, snarky response to a simple question, refused to take our empty coffee cups. Awesome location, would benefit from remembering they're in the service industry and if they don't like serving customers, let someone who does and is passionate about coffee to make the most of this great place. read more

This plan is such a gem!!! Have lived in WS and walked Alki for years and somehow stumbled upon it today. Super fresh menu, DELICIOUS lox bagel and more than your average cafe flavors. Really kind staff as well. Compared to some of the older dingey restaurants, perfect fo grab a quick bite or coffee and sit by the water or go for a walk. Would reccomend! read more

Unwind Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OMG. I don't understand how long this gem of a place was unnoticed by me! I had it on my list for a long time, but I just recently gave it a try. And then I came back for more! It's conveniently located on the way to Alki Beach, on the other side of a public parking space and the water taxi. They have a wonderful selection of smoothies, teas, breakfast bowls, and sandwiches. Everything is super fresh (it may take a few minutes, but this is no fast food place people!), and tastes amaaaaazing. My favorite so war is the "berry indulging" smoothie and the BLT Bagel with extra cream cheese (enough to share). Hmmmm. So if you are ever in West Seattle make sure to stop by and enjoy the great menu paired with a fantastic view. read more

This little gem is so cute (and delicious)! The coffee is made with care and is delightful, and the food is made fresh and is quite flavorful. Would definitely recommend checking this little spot out. read more

Local GEM in West Seattle! Deliciously brewed BLACK MILK TEA. This is in my top three milk teas in the Seattle area and I've been around the block tasting many, many, many times! Also, treat yourself to the homemade biscotti--AMAZING! TIP: check to make sure they are open before going and it's helpful to call ahead to place order. The owner, Vanessa, is just a pleasure to chat with and it's pretty dang cozy inside. Walk across the street and stroll along the passenger ferry dock with an amazing view of downtown Seattle. read more

The first day we tried coming here she told us she had a to go order that was gonna take her about 25 minutes, & we didn't have time to spare. So, we came back the next day & ordered to go. It took about 20 minutes from when we called. We got a couple coffees that were excellent, a pucker smoothie that was incredible, & some bagel sandwiches that were also delicious. Everything tasted super fresh & well made. It's got a beautiful view of the bay right across the street. We would definitely go back! read more

This place is adorable! Very tasty food and coffee freshly made! It is a small space so they don't have room to sit and eat there, that is why they are to-go only. They do provide an adorable bench outside to sit and eat while you look out at the water. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches we've had in as long as we can remember. We got the pineapple juice drink (hot) which was super different and like a citrusy hot cider. The view of course was gorgeous and we watched a ferry leave and could see a bunch of Elliott Bay. This is not the closest spot to our place but 100% worth driving to for an actually filling and substantial breakfast. read more

Upon entry, this cafe is warm and inviting. Walked in on drizzly day to find a warm cafe with refreshing aromas of fresh ingredients. The food looked delicious, but the moment I opened the box to take a bite, I was told that everything is made togo and that I could take my food outside. Guess that's what I get for thinking a place that describes itself as cozy would want people to stick around. Come for the food, but don't expect to stay. #serviceleavessomethingtobedesired read more

Walked a half hour to get there this morning at 8:30am. Both the Yelp page and the sign on the door said they would be open. They were not.

The breakfast at this place is unreal! The bagel sandwiches are made fresh to order and taste amazing. These are the thickest, yummiest smoothies that you'll find in west seattle. The ingredients are super fresh and you can definitely taste it. My only complaint is the price $8-10 for a juice or smoothie is a little much. read more

If you want to unwind do not come here. Orders are made wrong then demand to repay for drinks that you didn't ask for. Coffee shouldn't be this hard. No star is more like it. read more

Great view. Consistent quality. Fresh ingredients. Friendly service. And my favorite.....Great espresso. read more

Unwind Cafe - Ham and Swiss on a Parmesan Bagel. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a cute little place that is easily missed! We had the BLT and Ham and Swiss bagel sandwiches and both were delicious. We also got the peanut butter banana smoothie and it was so fresh and tasty. We will be back! read more

Good location but the coffee was honestly underwhelming. I got an oat milk latte and I'm not sure if it was just the oat milk that wasn't good, but I didn't end up finishing it. They have a decent tea selection though and the smoothies looked really good and were made fresh. The staff were really nice and the space was cute, although very small so be prepared to wait outside for your order if there are a few other people there. read more

A great coffee shop to go to if you're ever on Alki!! A very cozy vibe to grab a pick me up or something rejuvenating. The owner is especially wonderful and helpful! read more

This little shop is a hidden gem. My food is always ready on time and they are super friendly. The sandwiches are delicious and they make it special by taking the time to add those little thoughtful touches: asking if you like a lot or a little cream cheese, peppering the tomato, perfect veggie to meat ratios, etc. I've tried the ham & cheese, club, & nova so far all of them have been delicious. Grab a smoothie while you're at it - they're a perfect pair. read more

Small, unassuming cafe with friendly service :) You can pop in for a bagel and juice or smoothie, then go for a walk. My go to spot for a bagel in West Seattle. read more

Unwind Cafe - BLT bagel sandwich but subbed the bacon with avocado. Yummm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am so sad that we're moving away from West Seattle because we just finally tried this place's smoothies and they're AMAZING. So smooth, so fruity, so tropical. We got the mango paradise and the berry smoothie (forgot the name but it had mixed berries and chocolate in it). Both were great! The owner (I think) is a super cool dude. We would definitely come here again when we're back in Alki :). Make sure to support local businesses like this one!!! read more

Unwind Café, what's not to love! Wholesome goodness in every sip and bite. I love Vanessa she is a warm and wonderful person. She is an artist who creates delicious juices and smoothies from fresh fruit and vegetables. Her sandwiches are all freshly made to order just the way you want it! The coffee, mochas, chai or bubble tea will warm your heart and quench your thirst. Come unwind at the Unwind Café at Alki, a view to live for! read more

Delicious bagels, good coffee and delightful service. Can't go wrong with this spot. Went in here to feed a hungry house during shelter in place and it was just what we needed to cheer our spirits and wake us up. read more

Really good bubble teas :) only problem I had was that the stamps they put on the rewards card like instantly rubbed off lol

They have the best salmon sandwich in town!!! Recommend the hemp milk latte as well. This has been my new go-to after a kayak session.

so so cute are you kidding me. just a little over priced unfortunately- i paid $40 for two bagels, a coffee, and a smoothie.

Coffee is solid. Cute spot! Nicely appointed. Good music/ambiance. Service can be a bit grumpy/impatient at times.

Great chai base, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, smoothie selection, milk teas, Thai tea, and more. Stop by on your walk or headed to and from Alki. Recommended. read more

I'm from Olympia but we got a job just up the Street from this café. It's hard to find a good juice bar and I was lucky enough to find this one. The café is a small business right on the beach so you can grab an organic smoothie or juice and step right back onto Alki. I have yet to try the food but I'm sure it's just as amazing as the drinks! I'm not going anywhere else! And you won't find anyone friendlier than the owner welcoming you herself :) read more

Stopped in this morning on our way to Vashon and I'm so happy that we did. The cafe itself is cozy and welcoming. The staff working today (a woman and a man) were both incredibly kind. We ordered the sunrise and the club breakfast sandwiches on Parmesan bagels and they were incredible! We ordered a dirty chai to go, and that was amazing too. Everything is fresh and made to order. I can't wait for the next time we get to stop by! read more

Unwind Cafe - Sunrise sandwich on a Parmesan bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Friendly service and beautiful location. The drinks however tasted like cardboard. And the bagel was inedible. We had to toss all $37 worth of food in the trash. 3 stars for their friendliness alone... read more

Stopped here mid bike ride. The food and coffee were great! I sat outside to eat my food and drink my coffee, but when finished, was told The cafe wouldn't accept my trash...from the cafe. Was disappointed that after buying a coffee and sandwich, I had to ride down the street to throw my cup, bag, and container away from the cafe. read more

I wish had known about this place sooner! The bubble milk tea is absolutely delicious! And the lady was super helpful and so nice. She makes such good drinks! highly recommend this place. read more
