50 Best Cafes near Lake Forest Park

“The peanut butter cookie was amazing!!! The best bakery peanut butter cookie I have ever had outside my grandma’s!“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee, one of the best i’ve had in Portland which sets a pretty high bar.“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“This is THE best beach food you’ll ever have. Creative, flavorful, modern eats. The view and the owners can’t be beat. Sandwich and poffertjes were amazing as always.“

“I’ve been drinking mushroom coffee for about six months now. In the past two months I’ve switched to Wunderground. I started with the dark roast and also tried the medium I prefer the dark roasted. I also enjoy the Brain Wash super Boost. I add it to my coffee on my golf days. It helps with my mental attitude and energy levels.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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! 😂“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Got a chocolate and passion fruit macaron. Best I’ve ever had. Really good coffee too, with friendly and helpful staff. If I ever come back to Seattle I would definitely stop by here again.“

“Delic breakfast! Super service! Highly recommend ❤️“

“Great food! Strawberry Basil was amazing! (The one with the bite out of it. It was mine lol) and The vibe inside is awesome. Super friendly. Definitely stopping by whenever in the area. Thank you!“

“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“

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

“Very cosy South African cocktail cafe with Elliot bay views , very kind and friendly owner. If you are there ask for Mlindi, he is the sweetest 😀“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice place,good service,good food“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

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

“Bang Bang Cafe had friendly staff and super yummy drinks! My daughter said the Strawberry Matcha was the best she's ever tasted.“

“You may well title this cafe as a hidden gem. The location and ambience is amazing! Both pastry, coffee and atmosphere are all equally phenomenal. The strawberry and rhubarb tart was simply outstanding, with its fresh dough clearly made from scratch.“

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

“Excelente servicio me encanta su atención“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 💙“

“The coffee was incredibly tasty! Not bitter at all, the blend is super smooth! The staff were so warm and friendly and I tried the Bain Parmesan scone - it was DELISH! Cheaper than Starbucks so that is a win!
It’s in a big building and there is a nice seating area in the lobby. Safe to say it was a very enjoyable morning!“

“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.“

“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.“

“thay have good Eritrean Ethiopia breakfast“
