Went to this art gallery for a local show and really enjoyed it. Cool mix of modern and classic work. The space is laid out nice and easy to walk through. Staff was friendly but let you do your thing. Prices on art were pretty reasonable too which surprised me. Ended up buying a small piece I loved. Can’t wait to come back for the next show.

I was here this past weekend. I walked in and literally could not believe my eyes. There were so many beautiful and stunning kimonos and garments, masks, and artifacts to look at. I purchased the most glorious indigo blue shorter kimono with delicate flowers. I'm so happy to have found Ancient Grounds.

Yeah, unfortunately I agree with the previous reviewer who was BIPOC— super unfriendly.I came here twice, thinking that maybe he just had an off day but the guy was so rude. He insisted that he price out the scarves for me first before letting me even see what they’re like.Then he ignored me and anything I had to say and kept bragging about how he extracts the best silks from Japan. Condescending and disrespectful.It’s unfortunate since there are some beautiful things in the shop, but Im not going to want to have something that reminds me of this rude experience.

I love this coffee shop. I’ve since moved from Seattle, but every time I’m back in town I plan to come here. The owner is like an Anthropologist, having traveled the world collecting treasures to sell in the shop, telling wild stories from his many adventures. Oh, and the coffee is good too! It’s a gem!

Amazing handcrafted kimonos and other items from Japan. Not expensive at all! But incredible materials and something for everybody. It truly is one of a kind iconic Seattle.

Magnificent collection of kimono, silk scarves and art of many cultures. With Roland to regale you on history, materials, and craftsmanship.

Please stay away if you are BIPOC, it will save you the time of being disrespected like I just experienced.. the worker man literally ignored me. It's a sign that blocks you from entering when you walk in that says please ask to enter(we are no longer a coffeehouse*). He saw me then continued to be in his own little world. Just know you won't get a cent out of me
