Cafes near Kenmore

“Tried Jay's for the first time the other day - great food, hardworking and attentive servers and nice ambience!“

“front counter person was very helpful, very friendly, and gave a very great deal!“

“Best coffee I have had in Seattle hands down.“

“I brought a friend with me from out of town to visit this cat cafe- neither of us had been before. The staff were very kind and it was clear how much love is put in to the care and well being of the kitties. I’d recommend coming here, they have cute stickers and cat toys and other merch as well! Bring a few friends, I think the experience would be best with a slightly bigger group of friends (maybe 4-5) just so you have more people you know in the room with you (meaning, fewer strangers in the room) since they do cap the number of people that can be in the room at a time (for the kitties safety and wellbeing!).

Parking: May be difficult to find a spot really close, will likely have to park a couple blocks out on the street. Parking was cheap, about 5$ for just over an hour. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but give yourself some extra time and grace to find a spot.“

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁“

“Excellent service and good food!“

“We absolutely LOVE the Seattle Meowtropolitan!! My 8 year old and I have been visiting regularly for more than a year now and we‘ve bonded with all the amazing kitties! Everyone who works and volunteers here is so kind as well. The kitty-themed drinks and kitty macaroons are all delicious too! And the cat-inspired decorations—even in the restrooms—are wonderful! It’s a kitty paradise for all the cats and humans who visit. :) We highly recommend everyone who loves cats visits this magical place!“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“We come almost every weekend. Comfort food to the MAX. Would happily give 5 stars if we could, especially given they seem to treat their employees so well (e.g., extended time off after the new year) Almost half the options are vegan, which is much better than most places. They often have a new vegan option of the month as well! Make sure to check the hours before you come; I’ve been absolutely crushed realizing they were closed only once I tried the door 😩😩“

“When I tell you that this was one of the best brunches I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating.

My best friend went to UW and has been raving about Voula for YEARS. When I finally visited Seattle, this was the first place we added to the list and it did not disappoint. We ordered the pinata benedict and the Greek hobo and both were so unique and tasted phenomenal. As a potato lover, I couldn't believe the size of the hashbrowns. It was bigger than my face!! I was so stuffed after and with their low prices, it felt like such a steal. Also, the service was so unbelievably friendly. I ordered coffee and I must have had 4 refills because of how attentive they are. Voula's had such a mom and pop feel and made you feel so cozy. It seemed so many who were dining around us were regulars. I still think about this food and I cannot recommend Voula's enough!“

“Super impressed with this locally owned coffee shop... It has the vibe of old school Seattle coffee shops with a fresh edge, which is to say it's casual and comfortable, made for hanging out, but they also carry more food and make it easy to get stuff to go.
They bake and make all their stuff in house. The excellence of their wares is evidenced by the number of customers and the many take out orders getting picked up.
The counter person was super helpful, friendly and welcoming. They recommended several things and I tried the coconut bread, a signature item. It was delicious - a large slab that was moist and flavorful. I appreciate the variety. This isn't the same old-same old.
My iced coffee with vanilla was perfection. I look forward to returning soon!“

“Online order for a playershand book 2024 alt cover. Bought one on amazon and came so damaged and shipped in a bubble bag.

Thank you guys your team truley rocked this sale.“

“Excellent bakery bagels and some cookies pastries coffee was superb. I got the drip coffee it was made perfect I highly recommend this place. There’s not a lot of food but if you just want something light with your coffee, this is the place.“

“Wonderful food, great ambience and the strawberry smoothie stole the show for us. If you're in the Edmonds area give this place a visit!“

“Pros: 1. The food and bakery items are all incredible. Make it a point to try the veggie toast and buckwheat scone with jam and butter. In fact, pretty much every bakery item is delicious. 2. Friendly service

Cons: 1. The wait to order can easily be 10-15 min and that’s only with a few people ahead of you. 2. They need to keep a window cracked or something because there’s almost no ventilation happening so you will always leave smelling like the kitchen (and that scent sticks). 3. A bit on the expensive side.“

“Vegetarian options: Today was my first visit to Livbud; I found it through Seattle Restaurant Week. The service was great and I enjoyed the mushroom tartine, but the roasted eggplant soup was absolutely delicious. I can't describe the flavor; an unusual kind of pepper might have contributed to it.

There are a lot of other dishes I want to try in future visits. That soup will be hard to resist, though!“

“Favorite coffee place in Seattle. Just moved to the area and the first time I had a decent latte in my entire life was here!

They allow dogs, post outdoorsy social events to join, and the drinks are the best around. Trust me I’ve been looking for a proper coffee, and it’s consistently great here.

Shout out to the guy working Thursday evening and Friday morning. He’s very fast, friendly, and relaxed. And makes a great latte 😎“

“I have lived in Redmond for 8 years and have somehow never visited River Trail Roasters. I finally broke the streak today, and I'm glad I did! They are so, so nice there - and reviews are not kidding when they say the coffee is strong, lol. My Americano was great, super deep, roasted flavor and not acidic. It also smells great in there. Prices aren't too bad for Redmond either, I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“My fiancé and I are so thrilled we came across this gem! The food was so flavorful and delicious, and the customer service was AMAZING. Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and they were SO attentive to our needs; made sure we were satisfied the entire time! Wonderful experience! Would definitely come back when visiting from out of state again!“

“The only thing better then the staff was the food! The Duan Duan croissant, egg tart and scones were amazing!“

“Great ambiance, wonderful service, and tasty food“

“I live in the university district and I frequent this cafe’ and I brought my Russian girlfriend here and she and I have enjoyed many of are desserts from this location.“

“wonderful service, AMAZING coconut cake! a lovely spot for a great dessert!“

“This cafe has been on my mind a LOT recently. They have everything I look for in a shop: top tier coffee options, fun drink creations, a good amount of seating to chose from, and food that is far from basic. I ordered an espresso roasted by Tim Wendelboe which was perfectly extracted, the egg and cheese sandwich that had a strawberry chili jam and pickled veggies which I couldn't get enough of, and a rose cookie that paired perfectly with the espresso. The shop has a lot of color and personality, and great retail options like wine, bitters, chai, and when I visited amazing coffee options from La Cabra, Loveless Coffee, Tim Wendelboe and Kuma coffee. On top of everything, the service was amazing. Planning on coming back again soon!“

“Don't judge the book by its cover -- this place seems run down on the outside, but once you're inside it's the real deal. GREAT coffee. The baristas know what they are doing. If you're more of a tea person, their tea lattes are wonderful -- I had a chai latte and I'm so used to disappointing ones from most cafes. But this one was perfect, and actually "spiced" to perfection. One of the best I have had in town.
It's a very small space inside as well, but cozy. It can get crowded when busy, but its worth it even to just get your coffee to go and head somehwere else if you need to spread out. My new favorite cafe in the U district!“

“Banana foster French toast was light and fluffy and not too sweet. eggs Benedict was yummy and so was the Cuban pork hash.“

“Stone Way Cafe was one of those spots I followed on Instagram long before I finally got the chance to visit. Known for their breakfast burritos, I made my way there on a sunny Saturday morning around 9:30 a.m. It was easy to find free street parking just a few blocks away, but as expected, there was already a line of 15+ people out the door. It’s clear the staff have a solid process down, because we only had to wait about 15 mins for our order.

My friend and I each ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, a side of potatoes, a matcha oat milk latte, and their special coconut cold brew. The burritos were generously sized and packed with flavor. We didn't realize they already came with potatoes inside, so the extra side of potatoes ended up being a bit much which was good to know for next time. Towards the end, my burrito was pretty oily but that makes sense since it was sausage. Both drinks were solid, but nothing to write home about.

I really appreciated that the restaurant offered a variety of hot sauces -- sriracha, Valentino's, and Tapatío -- which is essential for me when it comes to breakfast. Prices were fair for Seattle, especially considering the portion sizes and quality. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot year-round.

Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to swing by for lunch -- their other food and drink items looked just as tempting!“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“The young gentleman who helped us was very kind, patient and helpful with answering questions related to our allergies. The food was wonderful! This place is a real gem!“

“Love the coffee and the atmosphere. Customer service is unfortunately lacking at times. They messed up a Doordash order (ordered a traditional and they completely forgot the milk. Literally just a mostly-empty cup with a shot of espresso in it), and we've been unable to contact them about it, as they don't answer the phone and their voicemail is full. We'll still buy from them, but this isn't a great look.“

“Thanks for sharing me guys! Love your coffee place! It’s a hot spot in #Calgary to run into cool people.“

“Delicious varieties of chocolates!“

“Van Gogh Coffeehouse in Wedgwood is like stepping into a cozy, caffeine-fueled version of the artist’s mind—minus the ear incident. The walls are adorned with Van Gogh reproductions, giving the place a quirky charm. I ordered a veggie sausage breakfast sandwich: a savory patty nestled between a toasted English muffin, with egg, cheddar, and mayo. It was hearty and satisfying, a perfect start to the day. The sparkling water added a refreshing touch. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is laid-back, with a mix of locals and students typing away on laptops. It’s a delightful spot that captures Seattle’s unique blend of art and coffee culture.“

“The staff at this cafe should teach classes on customer service and kindness. The most lovely staff. To top it off, the coffee and food was great. I sat in the Cafe for about an hour and listened to the staff, talk to customers, give out hugs, and genuinely care about the regular customers.

My sister is blind and when we meet up for coffee, lunch, or shopping, I am always hopeful the staff will recognize the white cane and adjust appropriately. This place again was above the mark. The staff helped guide her to the front counter. Helped with the card transaction and brought the food and beverage to her when it was ready.

One of the hardest parts of going out is hearing someone say to her it's right there and point. It's so frustrating... the barista at this cafe explained what was on the screen and made the selections for her.

Thank you for making my day and giving me hope. ?“

“I expected the food to be delicious, and it more than delivered! I did NOT expect, but was delighted to discover, that it was meticulously plated and easily could have been photographed as the model dish! Both the uncrustabowl and the avocado toast were delicious!

The staff were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“We came here for a brunch that absolutely hit the spot. As we were looking at the menu & discussing our plans to get scones for the road, the gentleman running the counter offered to have fresh ones ready for us after we ate. Excellent service & great food!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here. The food was delicious and service was quick. I loved the quirky mismatched tables, chairs and dishes. It gives a more personal atmosphere.“

“One of the most unique and delicious places to grab a bite!! The Icelandic yogurt is very creamy and delicious with the berries and granolas. The danish hotdog is high quality and tender with dill infused mustard and pickles. Def worth trying the tasty Nordic foods!“

“We just ate at Coyle’s Bakeshop for the first time and feel it is hands down the best bakery on Phinney Ridge. The pastries were so delicious and the service was excellent!“

“My husband and I are big fans of artisan! We go multiple times a month getting both food and drinks and they never miss. The family is always super kind and they often times remember our orders which I think is just a sweet personal touch. I’m always recommending this place to anyone and everyone.“

“Alright. I grew up in Edmonds, and my family was very present in Perinville growing up. I was never lucky enough to have a key-lime pie till I moved to Florida to work on motorcycles.

When I moved back.. I never thought I’d find another killer key-lime pie.

Not only is this place super welcoming, but their pie is amazing. Thank you guys for what you do. If you’re reading reviews to decide whether or not to pop in here, put your phone down and go eat some treats.“

“Friendly staff and quick service on a Tuesday lunch rush hour. Came over here after a brunch over at new spot Calibri. Got the strawberry matcha, and it wasn’t too sweet or too bitter. I would probably not get it cold again, but it was good. Stroller friendly and stayed awhile (:“

“kind and welcoming staff and the food was delicious“

“Fun place but very very noisy ! Hard to hear. Food was excellent. I had their fall regular pot pie & arugula salad, excellent with hazelnuts. Pot pie was delicious but very black peppery! Also had ravioli…. Reportedly excellent.“

“Amazing all around! Great staff, delicious food, pastries, just great everything!“

“Spacious fun place. I like the counter decor with the old school sandwich board and physical letters/numbers. Coffee was good, love it can get it in glass mug. Not exactly my flavor profile. Breakfast sandwich was very high quality. Baked good we tried was good. I liked this place, just felt like they were trying to do a little too much. Showed up in decor, food and drink choices. Worth a try, they have some different specialty drinks.“

“This place has a lot going for it: Nice late night hours, good seating and for me personally I like the fact that the owner isn't trying to fit some kind of mold. At the same time all the employees are always very glad to see you.“

“Great place to meet fellow business owners in an affordable way!“
