50 Best Cafes near Mountlake Terrace

“Consistently excellent "Espresso" and quick service.“

“A cozy little spot in Scandinavian style — an original designer project with its own philosophy and story (no spoilers, you’ll have to discover it yourself). Despite being small, it feels incredibly comfortable, with a friendly atmosphere and genuinely nice people among the visitors. The bartender/vendor is always warm and talkative, no matter the shift. You can sit inside or settle outside in a wooden chair, sipping a beer or coffee while watching a beautiful sunset over Lake Union. There’s a small parking lot, so you’ll definitely find the place — the bar is on the first floor, right on the corner.

As for the food, the menu isn’t huge — more like light bites and snacks, sandwiches, and similar stuff. You can also grab anything to go (drinks included). They’ve got good beer and delicious coffee to take away. Often, the lovely coffee aroma drifts down the street, drawing you into Fram ☺️ Highly recommend this place.“

“What a lovely crew at this immaculate little shop! We were strangers in an unfamiliar neighborhood and stepped in to get out of the rain. Enticed by the aroma of coffee and chai tea, we learned quickly that they have a full menu. Run by a husband and wife team, they celebrate their combined Chinese and German heritage with the food and drink offerings. They even serve beer and wine and drink specials. Obviously they are great people because we went back for more on the next day and the staff treated us like old friends and regulars! Highly recommended.“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“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!“

“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!“

“My favorite place in all of Washington. Can't say enough good things about Zulus!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Super happily and comfortably spent the afternoon writing my thesis at Red Door, and I must say that the tables are well-organised for coffee chats or any form of remote work or study.

The owner was extremely courteous and kind, and gave me a free shot of espresso when they did not have enough batch brew for my order.

Everything was clean and the right amount of cozy !

I would absolute revisit :)“

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

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

“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.“

“🤷‍♀️My sister and I had never been here before. I got here first and I knew she would love it❤️, given the menu and the warm atmosphere. I got drip coffee☕️ which was perfect and a bowl of the lentil soup🥣 with baguette🥖, soup had just been made. The lentil is similar to Turkish lentil, very smooth. She had the spinach pizza, Turkish coffee☕️ and we split the pistachio croissant. Everything was tasty. The Turkish coffee 🍵could use some cardamom, however, imho.
The main draw to Radiant Flavors is the family who works there. They are so personable, checking to make sure we were pleased with everything. And so friendly! The ambiance was chill and relaxed. We shall return!! ❤️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This cafe is so cute. We got the hojicha banana milk latte which was amazing - comforting and delicious. We also got the matcha ube jam latte which was also very good. It takes the ube jam a bit of stirring to mix in with the rest of the beverage. I will definitely go back to try the boba tea or the sesame latte!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good place to have great coffee and conversation“

“Huge, delicious sandwiches on focaccia. Nice space with a patio out front. Pricing on the sandwiches is not crazy imo, but I paid $10 for a can of beer I was expecting to be on draft. Cocktails are decent but not a cheap place to grab a drink.“

“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! 😂“

“Great ambiance, wonderful service, and tasty food“

“Red Arrow is my favorite cafe in Seattle! It’s a little garden oasis. It’s so cozy and fresh. I actually met the love of my life here, so the magic that rests upon this place is a miracle. Highly suggest as a first date spot. It’s very chill, the coffee is great and they have a wonderful selection of food and pastries!
(Recommend getting a little strawberry guy!)“

“They can make any kinda of cake you can think of! And it always tastes amazing!!“

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

“Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.“

“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 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!“

“This is a great little cafe that I'm so glad is in my area. The pastries and drinks are not cheap but worth the occasional treat! I loved the chai and will order again next time I'm back. It's a nice place to meet up with someone to chat or study, but I wouldn't recommend bringing a large or noisy group. There is a calm, delicate aesthetic here that stands out compared to many other cafes in Seattle, making it worth the visit.“

“Delicious varieties of chocolates!“

“Great place! 5 stars - only thing that was weird about today (and maybe it was just me) it was exceptionally hot inside the store today 😆. It was cooler outside than in the store which made it hard to focus. I was wearing shorts so I kept sticking to the chair. Other than that, amazing vibe.“

“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!“

“This was delicious! So many fantastic options and great service“

“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.“

“First time at Victrola!
If you re coffee lover this is you re spot!! rich bold flavorful lattes, delicious and freshly baked Pastries, different than what you get in other shops, friendly service! Will definitely go back! One of the few spots I will highly recommend!“

“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!“

“A wonderful gem in the neighborhood, yummy drinks, super kind staff and always great service!“

“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.“

“Great place to drink, eat, and hang out with friends & dogs. The staff is very friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. The hound lounge area is great! They have clean water bowls, water, and toys for dogs. We went there for a quick coffee stop but end up staying long time. Highly recommended of looking for a dog-friendly coffee place. They also have outdoor patio - covered (but no heater), a good spot on sunny days. Definitely going back there in the future.“

“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.“

“La Copa has the best coffee in the area. Their staff understands the science and art of pulling espresso shots and their machine is calibrated properly so your drink is well made. They have a nice variety of food options made on premises and everything is delicious. Our favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge and yummy), the coffee cakes (flavors rotate), GF banana bread w/ chips, the danishes, the marzuka bars, the cookies, and the turkey pesto panini. The owners and staff are hard-working and kind. They care about their locals and the newbies. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You deserve it!“

“I asked for a surprise fall drink, and I was made the apple pie chai with oat milk and it was like autumn in a cup! Drinking this chai was as though I was walking through a pumpkin patch with leaves falling all around me. Honestly the best chai I’ve ever had. Thank you Filbert for always having wonderful service, and the BEST drinks!“

“My favorite breakfast spot in Seattle ❤️“

“Turkish eggs, are the best in Edmonds! PB power bowl 🥣 rocks too. Todd“

“This place is open late, expanded their menu options, and is super delicious. I find the mango/strawberry bingsu combo a perfect mix, the corn is always a great option. I recommend this place, very friendly service, quick, and high quality.“
