Average coffee house, with a decent selection of pastries.I don't have any burning desire to come back.Also you can only right turn out which is not convenient for me. Parking is limited on the ground level but there is a parking garage.I don't remember there being wifi. This place is fairly quiet the time I went.

Came by to check out after seeing the 4ish star reviews that everyone has offered. Lovely ambience but mediocre americano, definitely below average in Bellevue.

Incredible coffee. Lovely homely rustic feel too, and opens early.

The coffee is really bad here when I visited. I had never managed to make such a terrible latte myself. I imagine this could be a combination of not descaling after a long time, stale and low quality coffee beans, over roasting and over extraction. Usually it is very very difficult to be the worst coffee shop in the block when starbucks is right next to you, but here we go. The quality of the coffee I had was comparable to the really bad free coffee from microsoft in the building across the street (if not even worse). As I type this review, I am still confused about how a human is capable of pulling such a terrible shot of espresso. It's almost a dishonor to the word coffee, rather than "honor". good luck to those who insist on visiting.

Their teas and asian pastries are delicious! Seatings are comfy with cushioned chairs and sofas, and the vibe is so calm and quiet, tucked away in a little corner with trees and shades outside. When I ordered a tea, the guy at the counter gave me suggestions on what might be better and catered the sweetness to my taste. This place feels like a neighborhood gem One note for the management: I think it would be so, so much nicer if your music streaming service didn't have so many ads :') I know it's an added cost for a small biz but it feels really distracting / disruptive to the nice vibe of the cafe!

Love this coffee shop. It's a nice establishment in downtown Bellevue so location is great, and there's plenty of space to sit and work. Music is not too loud either and the vibe is great. I got the honey lavender matcha latte which was very tasty, and the egg and cheese danish was good as well.

New owner must be Asian as they added asian style bakery goods. The coffee is still good and the quiet space in the middle of Bellevue downtown is precious.

I have to update my review based on the very disappointing experience today. Went in to get my usual Portuguese tart and to try their croissant that looks so good. Well, the guy carefully chose a fu*ked up croissant (see picture), that didn't even look the part, probably a mistake that should not be sold. Whatever, I thought, if it's good who cares. Well both the tart and the croissant were soggy as if they were a day old. I'm hesitant to go back now, I don't like low standards like this, that result in inconsistent experiences. Too bad, I liked this place.

I keep meaning to write about them. I have been here a few times and I really like it. They have a good selection of food. I tried something to eat for the first time today so can't really comment on the rest of the stuff but the matcha croissant is delicious. I have tried a few of their lattes and I like every single one of them! The staff is super friendly! There is ton of space to sit and the place has a really nice ambience in general. Please come and support this business!

Rose water latte was so bad I had to throw it away. This is the first time I had to throw away a latte since it was so bad. I think the rose water proportion was too high. Very good ambience and lively atmosphere. Would like to give this place another try.
