50 Best Coffee Shops near Lake Forest Park

“Staff makes great coffee and has various substitutes for dairy. Employees follow owner' s lead in being, friendly, kind and all around amazing! My favorite place to stop for a smile and a coffee. much Love“

“An absolutely delightful little diner. The staff is super friendly, the food is delicious, and the decor is wonderful. The fox themed art and furry-themed food and drinks are an absolute delight, and I loved seeing so many furry stickers covering all of the napkin dispensers and whatnot.“

“This is the first time I’ve tried this place and I can honestly say that if I lived in the area I’d probably come back. It’s a very cute and tiny little coffee hut? coffee tiny home? Well whatever it is the staff was very friendly and personable, the drive through was quick, and the coffee (which is probably the most important thing for a coffee shop) was ok. My mistake probably was getting an iced vanilla latte instead of a hot drip coffee. That would have probably been better. Well it’s a beautiful day here so definitely nothing to complain about ?“

“Karina, Natalie, and Chris are all AMAZING people. Made my experience 10x better than any other Starbucks or coffee shop I’ve visited. Very kind & warm environment that’s made entirely by the people who work there. Matter of fact, all the employees on their team seem to be phenomenally friendly people.

Will exclusively be going here whenever I’m in the area.“

“The black sesame foam for the Gloomy Matcha has me in a chokehold…. I tried recreating it at home, but it comes nowhere near as close to what you can get here. I came right at opening time before my flight took off because I just had to get another Gloomy Matcha 😂 it’s THAT good. Wish we had an Aroom on the east coast 😭

Right down the street is a bakery, which is so nice! Come to Aroom for your morning coffee/matcha, then head to Sea Wolf for some bread.“

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

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“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!“

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

“Love Pilgrim! Delicious coffee!“

“Excellent service and great coffee!“

“We've used Lighthouse whole beans for many years now, using a Breville conical burr grinder. A great way to go! But could you say a few words about the 'big' grinder you use for your ground bags? How quickly should one be able to get through a ground bag to retain consistency?“

“Great friendly service. Warm smiles. Wonderful vibe. Everything I’ve tried there is yummy.“

“The coffee is curated beautifully and not over-roasted. Deep yet subtle taste notes across their regional offerings of whole beans and brews.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Edmonds! Delicious coffee, pastries, and a wonderful atmosphere. Friendly, kind employees. Fun art from local artists. I could keep going…a true gem in my home town.“

“I was surprised by the long line this Sunday morning, but even so, the wait was short and we ordered the special of the day — macadamia coconut cold brew with cold foam — and a single espresso. Service was super quick, my coffee was delicious, and I honestly wished they had a larger cup size haha. That said, I do have to admit the espresso was a bit burnt (and both drinks were on the pricey side).
Still, with the outdoor seating available, we really enjoyed our coffees in a pleasant atmosphere. We’d definitely come back!“

“Amazing place! Highly recommend“

“When you imagine the coziest, sweetest home-town style coffeehouse, picture Copper Tree. It's both local, incredible service, and amazing coffee. The menu is diverse and interesting with a drink for everyone. The local food options were great for a breakfast grab and go. I was very fortunate to time my visit before a wave of customers, a line out the door is not uncommon. Fear not, the line goes quickly. My latte was served at the perfect temperature and was complex and delicious. Their house-made pumpkin sauce is spiced to perfection. I can't wait to try their whole fall specials menu. Thanks for the amazing service and coffee. I can't wait to come back!“

“Walked in and got the strawberry matcha and the honey bunches of cold brew! Both were delicious and the burnt honey flavor in the cold brew is amazing! The prices are decent for the sizes and customers also get free waters and use of the bathroom as well! There’s plenty of seating, the service is incredibly fast, and the workers are super kind and welcoming. Not to mention it was super clean with an awesome aesthetic as well! Zero complaints! If I lived here I’d be a regular“

“This beautiful coffee shop was on my list of must-visit places, and it did not disappoint! They had all kinds of syrups, flavors, and coffee options. The owner was such a sweetheart and treated us wonderfully. Plus, they have a black and white photo booth, which was such a fun bonus. The shop also has a small Hispanic section, which brought back memories of going to ‘la tienda’ in my hometown. Can’t wait to go back!“

“best coffee ever I would highly recommend diore espresso to anyone“

“Pastries from Cafe Besalu!“

“$40 for two meals and two coffees.
Got a lox waffle and a Cuban sandwich. Cold brew with cream and hot dirty chi tea.

It's small but not cramped very cute and cozy. We didn't think there was much place to sit so had plan to go but they made room for us at a table with was so kind of them.

Food was so good! Never had a lox waffle before. Loved the sauce. Coffee was delicious and strong in the best ways!

Definitely saving to come back and try some sweets!“

“The service at Bequest Coffee Co is top notch! food is made in house and super fresh, Coffee is prepared to perfection. They have an amazing outdoor seating area (my fav). Next visit you should try one of their house made flavors in your Coffee and pair that with ANY panini. Small and local business that really care to deliver the best customer service!“

“Great place for a cup of caf and to hide from Inquisitors, although I suspect bounty hunters may still find you there. May the Force be with you“

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

“I stopped by yesterday and was really impressed! The staff were so welcoming and kind, and they made my coffee perfectly — smooth, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere feels cozy and relaxed, the kind of spot where you can unwind and actually enjoy your drink.

You can tell they care about quality and about their customers. Definitely one of those places that brightens your day a little — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“This cafe has the absolute best atmosphere, from the gorgeous architecture, the furnishings and decor, and the two amazing guys running it (shout out Charles and Tom!) it feels like you’re stepping back in time, and offers a relaxing ambiance that makes you regret stepping back out on the street. Their coffee is my absolute favorite, and thus far every baked good I’ve gotten has been extremely tasty. You can really tell how much love was put into this place and still is. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop in and if you’re not - it’s worth the drive. 10/10 and would give higher if possible.“

“talk about cozy! This place is built to settle in with a laptop or a nice book and lots of cozy seating options settled in. Definitely popular with students during the year but overall a place where you can get your caffeine fix and move along. Easy to drink coffee in a very welcoming atmosphere makes this place a fave.“

“Best bakery in Seattle.
Love all the pastries, best and delicious coffee. Only thing is my favorite chocolate chip cookies are toooo much salt on top, I can't taste cookie part....but, I buy it anyway. I'm hoping it'll be no salt or just only a few grains of salt on it🤞.
This is my favorite bakery in Seattle since they opened some years ago.
Love Fresh Flour!!! Baristas makes the best coffee every time. Thank you 😊.“

“Just visited Seattle and loved the coffee/muffins at #theseattlegrind. Great coffee and the employee was very friendly. Will definitely visit this place again. Thank you!!!!“

“Good pastries, great coffee, and staffs are very nice.“

“Wonderful service and Delicious breakfast sandwiches! Really enjoyed the Maple Leaf Latte. Highly recommend!“

“Great coffee very fresh!!“

“THIS PLACE KNOWS COFFEE! It's a light roast so it's tough to taste but coffee shouldn't overpower the milk and this place nails all aspects of coffee. Looked into it a little more and it's clear that they wrote the book (literally) on latte art and pulling espresso perfectly. Good to see they've trained their entire team well enough that the person writing the book doesn't have to pull all the shots. I enjoyed this place and will be back!“

“Exceptional third wave coffee place - the owner is extremely knowledgeable, they really know their cortados/flat whites, they have lots of coffee for sale from some of the well known light/nordic roasters, and on top of all that they do an amazing decaf. Probably the best coffee shop I've been to in Seattle.“

“The service at Bequest Coffee Co is top notch! food is made in house and super fresh, Coffee is prepared to perfection. They have an amazing outdoor seating area (my fav). Next visit you should try one of their house made flavors in your Coffee and pair that with ANY panini. Small and local business that really care to deliver the best customer service!“

“Diana and her team have created such a fun and inviting spot for finding just the right gift, getting or shipping mail, or just grabbing a cup of coffee. I love Sip and Ship!“

“Really liked the coffee. The cookie was also pretty good. The employees were super nice and just had an overall friendly environment. Upstairs is a good place to study and the downstairs is too but it’s a bit dark and not a lot of lighting.“

“Anchor and Bloom Café is such a gem! The lox bagel was fresh and delicious, the mango smoothie was perfectly sweet and refreshing, and the rose latte was smooth and fragrant. The service was warm and friendly, and the view made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

““Muse” drink is to die for!“

“Customer service is great. The owner was serving us and she's as so nice! She told us how the shop opened in June during the pandemic. There isn't seating inside but just across the street is a cute open public seating area. We got the chocolate chunk salted cookie, the vegan triple chocolate cupcake, mocha, and chia with oat milk. I recommend all of it! The vegans triple chocolate cupcake was perfect, moist and light.“

“Bubble gum ice cream with no gum in it and Halibut Fish & Chips.“

“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.“

“kind and welcoming staff and the food was delicious“

“This is the perfect summer spot, forget packing a picnic. Stop here for a delicious sandwich with a potato chip crunch or a yummy salad. They have cute kites for sale and snacks for the kids. The owners are so friendly. They even have coffee and hot chocolate for cold pnw day. The location is perfect for families, it is sandwiched between a sandy beach and a playground.“

“My wife and I came here for the first time years ago and it quickly became our favorite coffee shop in the area - we are now regulars! I recommend the sandwiches. They are unassuming on the menu - I assumed they were simple cold-case sandwiches, which I tend to avoid - but was so impressed when we tried them one day and discovered they're fresh-made, warmed and full of great ingredients, pestos and tomatoes and whatnot. I get the Med Chicken pretty regularly now. They also have a really great breakfast sandwich - I get sausage on a bagel with egg and cheddar, and it's really good. They use cafe Umbria, which is my favorite roaster, so that's a win for me. They make a great mocha, a great London fog, and the service is always good. Now that we have a little boy - who the owners love, and he loves them - we appreciate the lobby that's so easily accessible next door that he can run around in. The coffee shop itself is also very comfortable and always a relaxing place to sit and enjoy.“

“we stopped in with the Grandkids. Loved the whole feel and idea of sitting out doors enjoying our beverages and pastries! and great service! 5☆☆☆☆☆“

“the atmosphere, of course the coffee ☕ all the extra goodies. the best owner you'll ever meet. family's 4leg family's, so much more, Halloween yeah,“

“I heard about this place online and had to give it a try because I love Vietnamese coffee! I got the purple haze (ube latte with ube foam) and it was delish. Wish I could come back and try more! (PSA: this is definitely coffee for people who like theirs sweet and with lots of sugar/condensed milk, which is me) Also I did see people doing work here but the space is very small and too modern looking for my liking. I like the coffee shops I hangout at to have a homey feel with lots of couches and mood lighting but that may just be me!“
