50 Best Cafes near Kenmore

“The cafe was bustling with patrons. I was able to get a seat at the counter on a very comfortable stool. The menu was vast, with so many traditional as well as creative options. The plentiful amount of food was perfectly and beautifully prepared and served. The wait staff of only two waitresses managed the never-ending crowd with cheerful grace and impressive skill. It was art in motion. I am glad I stopped in for a late breakfast. If you are craving a traditional cafe experience with delicious food, large portions and friendly, capable staff, this is the 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?? 😁“

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

“NEKO Cat Cafe is such a fun, feel-good spot in Seattle. You come for the coffee, but honestly, you stay for the cats. The space is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up so the cats can roam freely while guests relax.

The drinks are solid, but the real highlight is spending time with adoptable cats in a calm, cozy setting. It’s a cute date idea, a stress-reliever after a long day, or just a sweet way to support animal adoption while enjoying a coffee.“

“This coffee shop is located off of the main NW Market St. The store says that they have German and Chinese influences.

Tried the Shanghai fog - don’t think it has any caffeine in it but was delicious. It’s not overly sweet and had a soft creamy taste. Definitely one of the more successful variations on the London Fog

Lines can get pretty long on weekends and I think that’s mainly due to the fact that there is only one person at the cashier and the staff didn’t seem to be in any rush to get through the line. Worth a short wait if you’re in the neighborhood~“

“Lively neighborhood spot with great coffee. It's clear they are invested in creating community in Eastlake with all their fun events! Food options include pastries, bagels from Backyard Bagels, meat pies, and some prepackaged burritos/sandwiches.“

“Loved the place and the fact I can come back later in the day than most places. Latte was good, not great, but I was happy you were even open because I hate Starbucks. Wasn't happy you ran out of oat milk and I wasn't willing to take the last drop from the bottle and risk getting sick. I will come back again and write a better review 😉“

“New favorite ice cream place! Amelie was so helpful. It was nice to be able to support such an awesome locally owned family business. Their hours vary so I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area even if google says it’s closed.“

“This place is absolutely to die for. The staff is amazing the drinks are so intricate and honestly the best coffee I have ever tasted and the food all fresh all hand made and baked fresh it is mouth watering. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.“

“Service is great & food is Awsome, staff is really friendly, thank you for the great food and service. I'll recommend to freinds“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“Oxbow is often our weekend treat. Their bagels are my favorite in seattle, their pizza is perfect. Every other item is wonderful (although i think the tuna salad sandwich could use more tuna).

The coffee is really great, and a small local roaster.“

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

“My first day in my new city and as I walked around trying to find what I needed and came across a sign leading me here. The barista was kind and listened to my story. The pastry was amazing with tons of cinnamon and the mocha, just what I needed to move on with my move in.“

“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!“

“Good not great Persian food but not as expensive either. Wonderful little family owned restaurant that is sure to fix that Persian craving you might be having. I enjoy this place when I go. There are better in the area, but at the same time, you will pay an arm and a leg for what you get. This place is a solid 4 of 5 stars.“

“Excellent food and coffee - they (easily) talked me into a pistachio croissant and it was a great decision!! 5+ star service as well

It was a nice quiet place to work or study on a Saturday morning.

The property itself might not be the coziest cafe, a little industrial, but they've made the most with it, with lots of plants, books and nice music

I think a little outdoor seating or a cozy armchair would be a nice touch!“

“Biscuit and Bean is my favorite biscuit place, the staff is amazing, and so is the food. 🖤 So good it was one of my wife's first food requests after her stroke! She was adamant about me getting her a classic with maple butter! 😂“

“While we unfortunately don't live in state and get to enjoy the stores in person, we have been purchasing from Zulus online for over 4 years now and we have always had a positive experience with them. This last order I had placed was no different on their end, had an issue with a pricey package being marked as delivered and misdelivered multiple times by UPS over the course of 2 weeks, back and forth getting nowhere and Zulus customer support was so helpful all along the way. Amazing communication, we had purchased the shipping insurance and they helped to get us a replacement order via Fedex, appreciate them so much through all of that. Keep kicking butt Zulus!“

“I am suspect of one star reviews that simply say everything was so awful that they are not coming back. I've been coming here for years. I very much enjoy the drinks and occasional food that I purchase.

Have I ever had a breakfast sandwich that was warmed and yet had a cold spot? Yes, one time I have. Have I ever felt that service was better at times than others? Yes. Have I personally just enjoyed visiting with some baristas more than others, yes. Some baristas have been less than I would want in an employee if I was the owner and no surprise, they don't work here any longer. The current opener is wonderful so stop in.

One data point is an anomaly. Two data points is a line but you need many more to establish trend. I keep trending in the front door for a first of the day hot coffee multiple times a week before riding off to work.

Once I found RTR I stopped going to Kirkland and its many coffee shops for $5 cortados. I'll sip my cortado or cubano right with an occasional baked good here at an entirely reasonable price, thanks.“

“Great breakfast at this place! This diner feels well-loved and found out it's been in the family for generations. The food we had was exactly what we were craving and the server kept coming around and filling up my coffee. Love that it was open early and a great location to visit Gas Works Park afterwards.“

“This is my safe haven as a creative with celiac. The food is incredible and full of unique flavors, a rarity when it comes to gluten free. The general atmosphere is always so friendly and cosy, I love stopping by for a quick bite or hanging out getting some work done while snacking on a spam musubi. Thank you Yeobo <3“

“A must try when in Seattle! Incredible vegan savory and sweet options - we are obsessed with the vegan beef and cheese piroshki, and potato rosemary, but there are so many! They have the best sticky bun ever too. Our son loved the non vegan ones too! One of the best places in Seattle!“

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

“Nice place,good service,good food“

“4.9/5 — It’s not spring without a sandwich (!!) the breakfast turkey sandwich and veggie samosas are so tasty and filling. Homemade chai was watery, there’s far better elsewhere; no tea, no shade. Vibes are immaculate. It’s like if pioneer square art walk were a café.“

“For my money, this is the tastiest coffee in Seattle. I used to get coffee here during the week when I lived closer; it is by far the best cafe in Downtown Seattle and perhaps the best in the whole city — I love it with my whole heart.“

“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.“

“First timer. The crumpets were so delish I bought some for home and they are not lasting long. Latte was perfect, with one of those lovely foam designs on top, that just make it more fun! Staff super friendly and setting very clean. Will be back!“

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

“The breakfast sandwiches always hit the spot & the fact I can order one when I wake up after 1pm no matter the day is 👌🏼
They have this Padan or Pandan coffee…I chugged it the first time & was so wired I had to hit the park across the street. Coffee is spectacular.
No bad encounter with the staff all of my interactions have been filled with kindness & they are very observant which feels safe & appreciated, someone’s being strange? I’d trust they’re already on top of it.
Seems like it’s filled with locals which is also nice to see ppl called by name.
I will say, in the times I’ve been in the tables are…well used & with the amount of people working sending someone out to touch up the tables with a sanitizer wipe would be nice. To be fair it’s not like I see any of the staff just standing around, their hands seem full.
Anyway appreciate a very well solid local coffee shop. This is a gold mine.“

“Excelente servicio me encanta su atención“

“The best coffee shop in Queenanne area!! James the owner it’s a great person!! This coffee shop is my favorite in Seattle“

“Seasonal menu is great, the mocha shake is to die for. I upgraded mine to a malt, just finished it, and I want another already 😂 Barista was kind and friendly.“

“The food here is incredible
I also didnt realize I'd go out of my way to buy a side of their house made pickles. Their food is so damn good, I wish I could eat it every day!
I gave this place 4 stars only because its really expensive.
To be fair they give you quite a large serving for what you pay, but it was still hard to justify the price.
Regardless, as an occasional treat, their sandwiches are absolutely to die for 💙“

“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.“

“Was on the hunt for single origin & a bonus of getting a pourover. This checked all the boxes. Coffee was delicious and top tier. Be prepared to pay much higher prices likely paying for his space in a high rise in bellevue. Note coffee bag size, though getting top tier coffee. Learned after my visit he was a top roaster nationally.“

“I got a pork banh mi and a Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was perfect. The banh mi was ok, to me it looks smaller than the average banh mi I have tried before. But the prices reflect that so it's ok. Easy to find parking and a lot of boba tea options as well. Nice place.“

“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.“

“This place is lovely, especially on a week day when it's less likely to be crazy busy. I took my brother and father here when they were visiting last week. My brother and I had the egg and bacon breakfast sandwich, my dad has the peanut butter toast, we shared the breakfast potatoes and had three cups of coffee (two drip one americano). The total cost was over $100 with tip. The food was really good, but pricey. Seating was limited because it was very busy, so we took an open table in their main ordering space. It was pretty noisy and hard to hear each other. That said, this is a great place to come hang out for a luxurious cafe breakfast if price isn't a big concern.“

“Came into gearhouse for a quick coffee and was delighted by the friendly baristas Nick and Sean. They both made my day by going above and beyond. Nick was more than willing to tell me about their community nights and gear membership. Will definitely be coming back here!!“

“thay have good Eritrean Ethiopia breakfast“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great ambiance, wonderful service, and tasty food“

“the best place ever for deserts and milkshakes 🥰😍😍😍“

“Wonderful iced mocha with Costa Rican chocolate and absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich. Charming/ quant coffee shop with unique drinks and pastries. Five stars ⭐️“

“Stopped by Van Gogh Coffeehouse for lunch outside, and it was a lovely experience! We got the dip and pesto paninis with potato salad and lattes. There were some cute handmade items for purchase to browse while we waited for our orders. The panini's focaccia was amazing, and we loved our meal!“

“I am EXTREMELY picky about my boba tea drinks and outside of the ultra premium Taiwanese chains of Chicha San Chen and Heichalou, everyone else’s boba quality in the state is slipping at present during this economic downturn. BUT HERE COMES ATULEA out of nowhere — a local tea shop chain THAT DOES IT RIGHT! *Superb* boba quality and cooking/texture that even a respectable chain like Sharetea doesn’t manage anymore in our state! By a local boba store that crafts sincerely delicious and innovative drinks — down from its soy milk milk tea (still tasty despite the lack of non dairy creamer and made with quality brewed tea) to where it truly shines — the quality matcha latte drinks and real fruit puree fruity tea drinks that taste like tropical desserts in a cup and are truly refreshing and delicious on a summer’s day. They’re famous for their strawberry matcha latte and I HIGHLY recommend this incredibly yummy , utterly original Sticky Rice Scented Oolong Milk Tea with fresh mango puree and boba—delicious!

They also offer really cute original stationery by the owner for sale here and support other local small businesses/creators — definitely come check them out and support a wonderful local business!“
