Coffee tasted great and was the perfect temperature. Pastries good as always.
Nice experience!“

“Aroom is the best Vietnamese coffee in Seattle! Even tho they are always busy and full of life they make sure to take care of all their customers! I messed up my online order today and they made my drinks again and didn’t charge me again. Their service is top notch and everyone should make sure to visit aroom when they’re around Seattle or their other location up north!“

“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.“

“Love this cozy spot. My favorite drink was the Kunafa latte, such a unique and delicious menu. I’ll have to come back and try all the beautiful pastries. Was a great place to meet my friends for a drink and will definitely be stopping by again soon!“

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

“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!“

“I have lived in Vienna where some of the finest coffees are served. This cafe is serves the real thing including Sachertorte ( cake) on Saturday but delivers an ambiance that is just stunning. I did not expect that in a strip mall in Lynnwood but was wonderfully surprised. I will never go back to Starbucks“

“Pastries from Cafe Besalu!“

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

“Came in for a coffee on a beautiful Seattle day. Maximilliano (hope I spelled it right) and zen helped me/ made my coffee and were chatty and so kind! It sounded like they had had a crazy stressful day at the cafe but that didn’t keep them from giving great service. The coffee was 10/10 (iced spicy mocha!) and the vibes were great all around. Go support this small business :)“

“This place is special. It’s local, it’s cute, it’s an adorable shoebox of a place. The baristas know you and the drinks are made to perfection. That pumpkin sauce that they make in house is divine. I look forward to visiting and it becomes a tiny highlight to my week every time. Even when there’s a line, it’s not a long wait.“

“Great coffee served quickly from a window.“

“Oh Ya Love the bakeware serving trays“

“Food is phenomenal!! Service was top notch as well!! That breakfast sandwich was slap your mama good!“

“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“

“Excellent service and great coffee!“

“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“Great coffee, great treats, great people!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“The line took a while to go through I’ll admit, but once it’s your turn it’s a whole experience. The front desk is decked out in little trinkets to look at while you wait for your drink, and all attention is on you. Very personable barista!!

The atmosphere is cozy and warm (and it can get pretty warm inside for real). Try to bring your own cup, there’s a charge for to-go cups. Overall, loved my experience here.“

“This is my 2nd time coming here, and the tres leches cake board sign drew me in. They are heavenly and you get a decent sized portions. The staff is very friendly & welcoming. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying new fare.“

“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!!!!“

“What stood out from the typical cafe was the staff being exceptionally cheerful and helpful. Super crowded and impossible to find seats though. Due to the high demand, you should visit at or before 10am if you want the full selection of pastries.“

“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.“

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

“I like this restaurant and the food is delicious. It is very noisy and the owners should place some type of acoustic fabric on the ceiling to soften the noise.“

“Lovely neighborhood spot. Excellent pastries, perfect croissants, danish and coffee cakes.

Coffee is quite good. Service is excellent with happy, and warm folks who don’t make superficial small talk just cos they are coached to. More authentic and helpful.

The space is pristine and welcoming. Lots of seating and clean restroom.

Took off one star to be fair, as coffee is very good but not at the level of fuel/ herkimer. However this spot is friendlier and has better food options. I would still pick this one a few times over the others depending on what i am optimizing for. Prices are on par with others.

Be aware that wifi is spotty or not working many times.“

“This place is awesome! There are a million coffee shops in this area, but this one is immediately my new favorite. Great menu, I adore bagel breakfast sandwiches and they have great options; the coffee was great, I haven't tried the smoothies, but I'm excited that they have them. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were super friendly—I couldn't ask for a better experience.“

“Everything was delicious. We intended to stop in for a quick pastry, but we got there just as they switched to dinner service. While I was mentally prepared for a pastry, my brain and taste buds quickly adjusted to the unique Japanese inspired dinner foods. Every bite was delicious. Sometimes I’m weary when restaurants put a spin on Japanese classics but Wayland Mill did it just right.“

“Great coffee very fresh!!“

“Oh, Pacha! There is so much to love about this place. The food, service, and atmosphere really draw you back and every time it shows up tenfold. We love bringing our two small kids here, it’s very family friendly (IYKYK) but also grown up. The team at Pacha really makes an impact and we love supporting this local business. Check out the tons of fun events, too.“

“Hello, I was here on Feb 4 around 9:30-10am. Just wanted to say that the service was really nice. They were willing to remake my drinks when I forgot to say I wanted them iced and I also spilled one of my drinks and they were quick to help me. Safe to say, I was having a pretty bad morning but the two people working the bar were so helpful. My social anxiety was through the roof but they remained really kind the entire time which made me feel a lot better about my mess ups. Thank you guys! Will continue to be a regular costumer.“

“They take their coffe very seriously, and the pastries are delicious. The baristas are so friendly too.“

“I’ve heard so much hype about this place, I finally went to try the ube, matcha drink and I was underwhelmed. It was a good drink but I didn’t think it was anything exceptional or worth the high price. Staff is incredibly sweet and the service was fast.“

“i’ve been to gearhouse a few times to work and drink coffee and it is always such a delight! tonight i went to the wilderness women’s happy hour and had such a wonderful time talking with like minded women and getting to know more of the seattle community. gearhouse is a perfect place to create community!“

“I really like the atmosphere of this coffee shop. I often come here during my lunch break and at night when I have deadlines. You guys close around 10-11pm, which is very convenient and flexible for me.
The drinks here are great! I've almost tried everything on the menu since you opened a few months ago.
The coffee is strong (just how I like it), and the fruit tea is refreshing. I usually go for the Logan tea and add panna cotta-lightly sweet and so good! I also tried the lychee tea with panna cotta, but it's a bit too sour for me.
Me and my friends always order the panna cotta just to eat it separately because it really good.
Great location, great timing, and amazing drinks.“

“The barista was very helpful identifying the best beans to take home for pour overs. We enjoyed a decaf espresso (afternoon coffee!) with our purchase of a bag of beans. It was a great shot!

Overcast Coffee is a small, quaint cafe that is worth the stop in Capitol Hill. It was incredibly quiet despite the number of people enjoying their drinks, working or relaxing. The lack of noise made it feel like you were interrupting study hall if you chose to speak.“

“Moved to Seattle in November and have been trying shops nonstop. This has easily been my favorite.

If you’re a modern specialty enthusiast, this is your place. Sleek design, dialed coffee, and a staff that knows what they’re doing! I will be back!“

“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.“

“Wonderful cafe. Great coffees, and a chill vibe.“

“This place was extremely popular and very crowded, which definitely added to the longer wait time.

I ordered the strawberry matcha latte. The strawberry purée at the bottom tasted fresh and delicious, adding a nice fruity sweetness to the drink. The matcha itself had a slightly gritty texture, like it wasn’t fully mixed through .. though it was also one of the busiest times there, so that may have played a role.

A cute detail I liked was the little daisy flower confection topper that comes with the drink. It’s a charming touch that makes the latte feel extra special and very photo-worthy.

Overall, a trendy and fun matcha spot, just be prepared for the crowds and a bit of a wait. 🍓🍵🌼“

““Muse” drink is to die for!“
