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 was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

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.

If I asked why, they might say, "Oh, we're very sorry, but we're too busy to answer." As every business seems to do these days.

I say modestly it can be shared between 2-4 people. The cake was light, with a smooth consistency. Chocolate is not too rich because I have a sneeze indicator.

Anyways I recommend coming here and trying their offerings. I was eyeing a pistachio croissant they have so I might be back again to try that. Aside from that, service wise I had no complaints. Parking can get tricky since it's just street parking.

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.

Fortunately, there was just one table open and we got seated quickly. Our table had a horoscope book and a newspaper, which was interesting it's been a while since I've actually sat down and read a newspaper. I ordered an 8 oz latte with whole milk, and it was served in a glass. I believe many cafes are starting to move toward serving drinks in glasses rather than traditional cups or mugs. The coffee was strong and had a great milk-to-coffee ratio. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go again if I'm nearby.
