This place is a wine shop first, coffeeshop second. The pricey 12oz latte I paid for came as at most a 9oz drink. :/

I love this little coffee shop and we decided to meet there for the farmers market this weekend. It was absolutely pouring rain outside and we thought grabbing a warm drink and sitting inside to warm up would be perfect. The staff does not allow you to sit inside because it can get "too busy"??!! If that is not the most backwards business tactic ever. To make matters worse we all ordered lattes that were served lukewarm. After the initial curt reaction from the barista I did not dare ask if I could have her heat it up. I have had great experiences here so i was very sad to leave just as cold as I was when I arrived. On a lighter note, the salmon berry goods buckwheat banana bread is excellent.

Cute coffee shop inside an eclectic wine store. This place has ample seating pretty good coffee! I had a vanilla late, which was nothing special and a rice crispy treat which was delicious. My only complaint really is how cold it was inside, I was working remotely and was literally shivering the whole time and had to leave.

Super swift service, the decor was soooo quaint and cute, conveniently located for grabbing a coffee and hitting all the cute spots in Ballard, and the coffee was very good and was out in a jiffy. I would absolutely come here again.

So yummy. I want to buy their espresso blend but I don’t think it’s available for purchase!I tried other coffee shops in the area and I think I like this one the best! I just wish I could buy the espresso bag ❤️?

One star for the hospitality. One star for the aesthetics and local art decor. But as a coffee shop, it did not make it on my list. I tried the famous lavender chai latte and I can't say that I tasted anything but watered down milk and a pinch of spice. It was also an extremely small cup, and $5 for a 6oz did not seem worth it. I wouldn't even pay $1 for it. I feel that this place is more of a wine shop that just so happens to serve coffee. It seems etched into an apartment building that was converted into an office space. Though there's plenty of wall outlets, there's only about 7 tables in a tiny corner that if one guy coughs non-stop, they'd infect the majority of patrons. Unfortunately I had two of those during my visit and I was not the only one who wanted to get out of there.

This place has lots of good vibes. Coffee shop right when you enter, wine shop just beyond and upstairs. It's a little tight on the entry and not a ton of room for the line but that's ok! The breakfast sandwich took a bit long to take but was well worth it. The veggie pesto was obviously handmade-pesto, fresh motz slice and homemade veggie Patty! So good. The cold brew is delicious and holds up on its own without flavor or creamer. A little sad the upstairs sitting area was closed off, there weren't any places to sit and eat/drink so you have to be taking it to go. Other than the seating issue I would highly recommend!

This coffee place is so easy to miss!This place was recommended to me for their baked goods. And, the recommendation was spot on!I tried the buckwheat banana bread - it was soo good!! Dense, moist and delicious! Everything you’d expect from a banana bread! I also loved how filling it was too! I also tried the pistachio matcha with oat milk - I didn’t know what to expect but quite liked it and would recommend it too, if matcha is your thing. ?They’ve a lot of art pieces on the walls and have seating upstairs - check the place out - it is a very inviting and happy place! They’ve some glassware for sale as well! You can check those out along with all the wine bottles in there!!

Really enjoyed my matcha latte from here - it was well balanced. Unfortunately they don't take cash which is what I use most of the time, so I find myself going to other coffee shops instead that do. If they took cash I'd definitely be stopping by more often!
