50 Best Cafes near Mountlake Terrace

“Consistently excellent "Espresso" and quick service.“

“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.“

“Small, modern, but not clinical. Third wave coffee shop and Cafe. Interesting selection of beans, and great drinks at the bar. And I had a fruity boozy cold brew, and more recently the seaweed latte- both were delicious and different and I will definitely be back.“

“As someone who truly knows and appreciates authentic Arabic food, finding Hamsa Arabic Cafe in Seattle has been an absolute revelation. The experience here was nothing short of perfect. The flavors are remarkably genuine and instantly remind me of home.

I tried almost every single dish on the menu, and every plate was executed beautifully with high-quality ingredients and perfect execution. This place isn't just serving food; they are sharing a rich culinary culture. If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out. Try it once, and you will absolutely fall in love and become a regular. A true gem in Washington!“

“Best gelato in town hands down. Have been going for a while but last night we got to meet Chris, the owner, who comes up with the recipes. So fascinating! My partner is avoiding sugar but health reasons but based on his description for a bowl and didn't have any symptoms after! He wasn't trying to convince her, just answering some questions of mine. Turns out he comes up with the recipes and is coming out with a book! Can't wait for it Chris! Here's to the Cascadia style of Gelato!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite new spots in North Greewood. An extremely chill little cafe with rock solid coffee and food. As others have mentioned the standout treat is the honey pistachio croissant. The staff are incredibly kind and the place has good vibes. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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! 😂“

“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!“

“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.“

“I loved Cloud City! A fun shop with the best vibes! I definitely want to come back for breakfast on a Saturday one weekend! Their whole bean bags are next level! As a coffee roasting business owner myself, there are the bags I dream of producing one day! The perfect balance of logo to info ratio! I got their maple cold brew and the first sip was magical! So good! Best maple cold brew I’ve ever had and I got a couple good ones up in Canada before! I 10/10 would recommend checking them out and buying a bag of beans for at home coffee!!“

“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 :)“

“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 💙“

“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.“

“thay have good Eritrean Ethiopia breakfast“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Great ambiance, wonderful service, and tasty food“

“Tiny little place with chill galore with its super friendly employees and inviting atmosphere.

Ultra green and healthy from the ingredients to the cups and such, this place has all the hallmarks of the new-age West coast vibe - sixteen different choices if milk, matcha, espresso and everything else you could wish for - but none of the pretentiousness.

Houses on a super quiet and chill block on greenwood.

Come check it out you'll dig it.“

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

“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!“

“Best baklava and latte. For macha latte best is Miros, and Sabine has unique varities, but just for basic latte, this joint dropkicks and punts all the other lattes in the butt.“

“Good place to have great coffee and conversation“

“Firstly the menu is immense. So many options make it hard to decide. I was sold on the advertised smoke show special and it did not disappoint! Authentic BBQ vibes and with an epic macaroni salad side. We also had the surf and turf and totally did a double take on the oshi salmon and the steak! So good! Our son loved the pancakes. Vibes were also great and we enjoyed outside seating. The owner waited on us and he was so nice! Any plant based person visiting Seattle needs to visit! Also the neighborhood has so many cool shops and vibes. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-21“

“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.“

“I ordered the lavender latte with honey, and my husband opted for the drip coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my lavender latte, and my husband was equally pleased with his drip coffee. Overall, it was a delightful experience. The outdoor seating adds to the ambiance, making it even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting during the summer, I highly recommend choosing the outdoor seating option. The indoor space is also equally good, it offers a spacious and pleasant atmosphere.“

“Went to The Dish for breakfast the other day (definitely recommend) and they let us know that they’ve opened up for dinner service within the last few months. Sadly, Seattle is not known for its mexican food… but this place was wonderful! We ordered the guac & chips along with ceviche to start. I got the chicken enchiladas with the verde sauce and my boyfriend got the carne asada. Not to mention a handful of margaritas and two big thumbs up for us! A great way to support a local business with some of the friendliest staff around!“

“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.“

“Nice to have a pho place near home. Broth is clearly homemade, light and filling. Fresh chicken meat. Staff checked on customers needs and likes. Friendly! I even saw in the kitchen which was exceptionally clean, a huge plus obviously! I would recommend.“

“Delicious varieties of chocolates!“

“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!“

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

“We saw some good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Great call! The place is excellent. I had the crispy chicken, which was the best I've had. I had it served with mixed vegetables that were perfectly wok'd, still crunchy, not soggy, and with great flavor. Food is cooked to order, fresh, and very flavorful. Staff is friendly and hard working. Will definitely be back for more!“

“I was in need of a second breakfast after having explored Discovery Park, and popped in here on the way back. As soon as I walked in, the aroma hit me in a great way.

I got a pickled carrot, cherry, baby lettuce salad with caraway dressing. It was GOOD! Super bright dressing, and all the elements just jived together. It was such a surprise.

Highly recommend.“

“Loved their community events like BINGO night and Trivia! And there is a barista there named Lily. She is super nice!“
