What bothers me is that they charged me for a whole cake as if I bought 9 slices. When I went to pick it up, it was a lot less tall than when I buy a slice, and I realized they charged me for nine slices when clearly this is an eight slice cake. I paid over $111 dollars. Not sure if I would buy a whole cake again. I think I will stick to slices.

Firstly I saw one of the bakers drop a pastry onto the floor and then he put it back on the pastry rack for sell like nothing happened. Secondly, I saw the same man drink straight out of a milk carton that they no doubt use as an ingredient in their kitchen. The workers here are nice enough, but seem to not like their job all that much. One honest worker had told me that many of the food items which the owner claims is made in house, is in fact not made by them at all. For example, all of their breads and all of their donuts. Some seasonal desserts as well. Baked fresh each day? They make their pastries in bulk, freeze them and then sell them through the span of a week or two. Most of the cookies are very stale, some of the pastries have been undercooked. Etc, etc, etc.

But honestly? The energy worked. The staff was moving with that calm, unbothered flow only seasoned baristas have. Friendly, attentive, and somehow keeping the line moving without making anyone feel rushed. Respect. Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

This will be my last visit to my neighborhood Starbucks. Today, I ordered my usual drink, and the…read morename on my label read "(my first name)-Fill-to-Top." Clearly, I've had ongoing issues with this location not filling my premium-priced drink to the top. Today, they left an inch of the cup unfilled. I politely asked them to remake the drink so it was full. The young, twenty-something barista had the nerve to tell me, "We are instructed to leave the cup unfilled by half an inch from the top." (It was at least a full inch unfilled.) I began to explain that while I don't mind paying the premium price, I do expect a full cup. He then said something about, "this is how we measure it." I mentioned that he's made my drink before and filled it to the top as requested. At that point, I decided this would absolutely be my last visit to this Starbucks. I've complained about the short-filled drinks here before, and I never, EVER, have this problem at any other Starbucks I've visited across the continental U.S. Is it a lack of training? I can't help but wonder. Why is this Starbucks so consistently bad at filling drinks? I asked for a refund but felt awful because I was so frustrated. Most of the staff there is very nice. This young fellow's excuse was pathetic. I'll say it again -- if we're paying a premium price, fill the drink to the top. For Pete's sake, I even have it listed as my name on the cup.

Service was nice and simple, but not stellar. I will say that the person who helped me was really accommodating to my request. I don't like for my drinks to be super sweet, so she made me a fresh cup of the London Fog mix. For food I had the ham and cheese croissant with cornichon butter. The cornichon butter was the main attraction for me, but once I tasted it, it was underwhelming. I could tell that the ham and cheese were good quality, but that still didn't justify the 14.00 price tag. I decided that I wouldn't ever order that again if I ever returned. Again, this is a cute place with some seating available against the wall. Perfect place to enjoy a hot drink and get some work done or meet a friend.

I ordered an iced pour over (Zambia Kateshi Estate Anaerobic Natural) for $8, with tasting notes of pineapple, blackberry, and lychee. it was incredibly refreshing -- fruity, juicy, and vibrant. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a bag of the beans to bring home. My friend ordered an iced Americano, which was made with a light roast that had intense fruity acidity. it wasn't quite her style, but I appreciated that they didn't default to a darker roast for milk-free drinks. There was plenty of seating upstairs, where we relaxed and chatted over coffee. Overall, Push x Pull is a reliable spot if you enjoy specialty coffee. The baristas are serious about their craft, and I'd love to try one of their espresso-based drink next time.

I don't write many reviews, but this place deserves one…read more I've spent a lot of time searching for the best specialty coffee in Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, and Austin. In my opinion, Push x Pull is the only shop I've found in Seattle that can truly compete with the best shops in those cities. I mostly drink cortado (a drink which leaves nowhere to hide) and Push x Pull executes them at a level I haven't found elsewhere in Seattle. The espresso is always dialed in, and the milk texture is ridiculous. The staff is also great. I frequently come in with my two young boys, who are not exactly known for sitting quietly, and everyone has always been incredibly kind and welcoming. If you're serious about coffee, go here.
