Always unique flavors and delicious. Customer service is wonderful.
A wonderful spot with room for improvement. I love the location, and the cafe is cute and cozy. Amazing music the two days I went there.
Sadly, the cappuccinos could be better. The second day I went my cappuccino wasn’t hot enough. The first day my frittata wasn’t warm enough, but it was delicious. The second day we waited 40 minutes for savory waffles. Delicious but almost cold when we got them, and way too expensive for one waffle, one egg and a bit of
ricotta.
I loved the sit down Saturday brunch service but they might be stretching themselves a bit thin.

Nut allergy warning: As always, macarons use almond flour, so avoid pastries.
Review is primarily for their drinks. We came in at around 9AM on a Friday morning and there weren't that many people there. I ordered their matcha latte and my partner ordered the cold brew. Drinks were ready in less than five minutes.
Cold . Had a slightly sour note, indicating that it might have been a little old or brewed slightly too long. I will say I liked it better than some other nearby options in terms of the flavor of the roast and not being diluted by ice.
Matcha . Nice earthy flavor. I'd order this again.
A friend came by later to look around and noted that there were a number of flies on the macarons, so I would examine those carefully before ordering any.

Walked in (on Saturday 08/30) to get macarons as a gift (45$ for 12 pieces). This is what I saw when the box was opened…
What a joke.

macarons are hit or miss, some are stale. Had like the sourest macchiato in my life and it looked like the milk was bad or something, started separated immediately. also got overcharged for it as well….

THE CHAIRS, THE TABLES, THE LIGHTS!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!! WHAT IS LIFE!!!!! WHY DO I EXIST?!!!?!!!?!! 4/5 pretty good.
Friday night pizza on the back terrace - the very best. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Delicious food on a dog friendly patio. You really can't ask for much more. The wait staff here is always front and efficient and once you have your food day let you be so you can enjoy it. Friday night pizzas or Saturday morning brunch is a great place to go

This is our favorite restaurant in Seattle, specifically for Friday night pizza! We go regularly. The pizza is AMAZING, the crust is superb, they have weekly specials that are so unique and yummy. They have a very cute, private garden dining area in the back. To top it off, their cocktails are phenomenal. We are so lucky to have this spot in our neighborhood.

This is a great spot — we come here often for both food and coffee and it’s always great with amazing staff! One suggestion: please consider better training for staff on making matcha. I’ve had it made perfectly once, which keeps me ordering it, but most times it’s been too thin and not mixed properly. Would love to see more consistency!

Best restaurant coffee in Seattle, and better coffee than many cafes! My wife had a latte that exceeded any restaurant coffee we've had anywhere, and my espresso was also the best I've had outside of a coffee roasters. We also had the rose pistachio cake which was the perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and moist, best cake we've had in Seattle. I also had a chocolate espresso macaron, and it met my standards (exceeded my expectations for America). Altogether, this place could compete with most European bakeries and cafes, which is really saying something.
Failed to take a picture until I was halfway thru eating it but this is the best frittata I’ve ever had!
Had a cortado and a savory danish (ricotta and a savory jam with some kind of sliced vegetable that may have been squash or zucchini, I didn't listen super closely to the description). The cortado was one of the better cups I've had without going for a fancy single-origin, and the danish was both delicious and delightfully flaky.
