50 Best Cafes near Mountlake Terrace

“Consistently excellent "Espresso" and quick service.“

“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.“

“Took myself on a little breakfast date, there was plenty of warm seating despite having a line of people. I got a vanilla cortado and the egg sandwich. Both really pleasantly surprised me. I am picky everything, but this was just what I wanted! I will be back here with friends for sure.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 😂“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great hidden gem for drinks and casual Vietnamese food. We stopped by after a couple hours bowling across the street. It’s a pretty small cafe with limited amount of seating (approx 8 seats).

They have an extensive drinks menu and a few Vietnamese dishes for food. We all ordered banh mi and I went for the classic cold cut version. Also added an order of their fish sauce wings - a must get!

The sandwiches were great and came packed with both meat and veggies. The bread had a crunch but not enough to cut the inside of your mouth.

Before we left, I ordered their coconut coffee smoothie with boba as my dessert. It was too watery for my liking as I was hoping for a more smoothie/slushy consistency.“

“This coffee shop is really nice to spend time in. The music and the atmosphere is really cozy, and reminds me of a more traditional style cafe.

There are a lot of different syrups on tap so you can get lots of different flavors, but the base coffee (in my case, espresso) is hearty and present, without crossing into the overwhelming bitter flavors.“

“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 💙“

“Really fantastic breakfast biscuit sandwiches. And the staff are absolutely lovely - it didnt take many trips before they started recognizing me.

They also make in house, seasonal sauces for their lattes that really killer. I love their maple bar latte, and my partner loves the snickerdoodle (which I think are both year round) and their Pumpkin Spice Latte is the best one Ive ever had.“

“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!“

“thay have good Eritrean Ethiopia breakfast“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is wonderful with it's adorable tea pots and cups scattered about, little flower vases with fresh flowers, cute sugar bowls and creamers. The music has a lovely French vibe. The pastry case is beautiful and full. The exposed brick wall gives a fabulous earthy feel to an otherwise polished look.
The service is outstanding- I have been here multiple times and each time the servers are happy, competent, and helpful. They make you feel happy you are here and like they are just as happy to be here. An environment with happy servers makes a place feel so much more welcoming.
My one issue, that I would humbly request the owners consider changing, is the seating. They have about 7 tables. 3 are regular sit down tables with chairs. The other 4 are tall tables with tall chairs. I abhor tall tables and chairs, to the point that I normally will not go back to a place if there is even a chance I may have to sit at a tall table. I constantly have to adjust myself to stay in the chair, feel like I am going to fall getting in and out. They are also difficult for older people and people with disabilities. I do frequently have someone with me who has a physical disability and this can mean that sometimes we really can't go to places with tall tables and chairs because they literally can't safely sit in them. For this place, I have made an exception when I am by myself and have even sat at the dreaded tall tables because I love the atmosphere so much. But it does affect how often I can visit and how long I can stay, so I am hoping the owners chose to replace those tall tables with standard ones at some point in the future.“

“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!“

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

“Great ambiance, wonderful service, and tasty food“

“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!“

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

“I am EXTREMELY picky about my boba tea drinks and outside of the ultra premium Taiwanese chains of Chicha San Chen and Heichalou, everyone else’s boba quality in the state is slipping at present during this economic downturn. BUT HERE COMES ATULEA out of nowhere — a local tea shop chain THAT DOES IT RIGHT! *Superb* boba quality and cooking/texture that even a respectable chain like Sharetea doesn’t manage anymore in our state! By a local boba store that crafts sincerely delicious and innovative drinks — down from its soy milk milk tea (still tasty despite the lack of non dairy creamer and made with quality brewed tea) to where it truly shines — the quality matcha latte drinks and real fruit puree fruity tea drinks that taste like tropical desserts in a cup and are truly refreshing and delicious on a summer’s day. They’re famous for their strawberry matcha latte and I HIGHLY recommend this incredibly yummy , utterly original Sticky Rice Scented Oolong Milk Tea with fresh mango puree and boba—delicious!

They also offer really cute original stationery by the owner for sale here and support other local small businesses/creators — definitely come check them out and support a wonderful local business!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“Vital Creations has a HUGE menu and the food and drinks are really good. The staff is super nice too and they have outdoor seating in the back, in addition to their cozy indoor seating. I support this spot as often as I can. Highly recommend for delicious vegan food and great vibes.“

“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!“

“Good place to have great coffee and conversation“

“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.“

“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!“

“These guys are always friendly and cheerful, what professionalism! The coffee is absolutely stupendous too :)“

“My favorite breakfast spot in Seattle ❤️“
