50 Best Cafes in Seattle

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁“

“Delicious food, perfect tea, and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I love the Edmonds location because I can walk there from my home! Cannot recommend highly enough! Five out five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Best coffee I have had in Seattle hands down.“

“We were greeted as soon as we came in and girl behind the bar was great. She was very personable, including us in an ongoing conversation with a regular that was studying at the bar. We enjoyed a beer in the bar while the kiddo got to hang out with the cats. Prices were very reasonable.“

“Lovely little cafe tucked away in a relatively quiet street. I ordered the black sesame salted caramel latte (with salted whipped cream), cardomom knot, and breakfast sandwich. All were so good! Especially the latte. Would come back just for that.

Lots of seating both outdoors and indoors, with a water bowl outside for the pups. I came on a Thursday morning and there was plenty of seating, but can’t speak to how busy it might be on a weekend.“

“A cozy little spot in Scandinavian style — an original designer project with its own philosophy and story (no spoilers, you’ll have to discover it yourself). Despite being small, it feels incredibly comfortable, with a friendly atmosphere and genuinely nice people among the visitors. The bartender/vendor is always warm and talkative, no matter the shift. You can sit inside or settle outside in a wooden chair, sipping a beer or coffee while watching a beautiful sunset over Lake Union. There’s a small parking lot, so you’ll definitely find the place — the bar is on the first floor, right on the corner.

As for the food, the menu isn’t huge — more like light bites and snacks, sandwiches, and similar stuff. You can also grab anything to go (drinks included). They’ve got good beer and delicious coffee to take away. Often, the lovely coffee aroma drifts down the street, drawing you into Fram ☺️ Highly recommend this place.“

“What a lovely crew at this immaculate little shop! We were strangers in an unfamiliar neighborhood and stepped in to get out of the rain. Enticed by the aroma of coffee and chai tea, we learned quickly that they have a full menu. Run by a husband and wife team, they celebrate their combined Chinese and German heritage with the food and drink offerings. They even serve beer and wine and drink specials. Obviously they are great people because we went back for more on the next day and the staff treated us like old friends and regulars! Highly recommended.“

“So simple — yet so divine! 🥚
A soft-boiled egg may seem like the simplest thing in the world, but here it’s done to absolute perfection: tender, warm, with that perfect balance between silky yolk and gentle white. So simple, yet incredibly delicious — truly divine!

And the homemade bread… oh, that’s another story. Fresh, slightly crisp on the outside, soft and warm inside, served with real butter and honey — it’s pure taste hysteria! 🍞🍯 Every bite feels like a little piece of happiness you just don’t want to end.

This morning was unforgettable — pure comfort and flavor that brought me real joy. I left the café feeling grateful, and I know I’ll definitely be back. Because sometimes, the simplest things are what make life truly wonderful. 🌤️💛“

“This place is a hidden gem! I was looking for a cafe on my way home from the licensing office, and so glad I came here over a chain. Alternative milk is free, reasonable pricing, amazing employees who ran me through all the syrups. Plus, great vibes to sit and work or read!“

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️Was aimlessly wandering SeaTac and stopped by to try a sample…the sweetest woman introduced me to my new favorite coffee. I was nervous about the taste after attempts to choke down dirt water (other mushroom coffee alternatives), these are SO GOOD! Very smooth. The night time tea is also delicious if you like chamomile ☕️“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“I give Oxbow 4 stars due to the price. $4.50 for a small slice of pizza, and almost $13 for a loaf of sourdough is tough to want to pay. Unfortunately it seems like the price issue is Seattle wide, which is a shame considering in places like NYC you can get a pizza slice twice the size for half the price. The pizza itself was fine, but the crust was great! Additionally, the sourdough is very good! Staff was friendly and the bakery is clean and spacious.“

“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!“

“Had a great time during their Sunday Piecing it Together event. Tasty drinks and snacks were available. The staff was super friendly and helpful teaching me a couple games and and playing some rounds with me. They also have “missing pieces” you can earn by learning and playing games. I have to go back next week to get my last “piece” Definitely worth a visit.“

“wonderful Cuban food, Excellent customer service and the ambience is phenomenal highly recommend Lady A“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a hidden gem to South Seattle (West Hill) Community. Street parking is available. Fresh brewed coffee imported coffee from Ethiopia! Never too crowded and IF you’re ever looking for a meeting space, I think the business are able to facilitate.“

“My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Pete and Cameron are gems.“

“Very cosy South African cocktail cafe with Elliot bay views , very kind and friendly owner. If you are there ask for Mlindi, he is the sweetest 😀“

“Excellent breakfast. I had the corned beef hash, which I would recommend.“

“Super impressed with this locally owned coffee shop... It has the vibe of old school Seattle coffee shops with a fresh edge, which is to say it's casual and comfortable, made for hanging out, but they also carry more food and make it easy to get stuff to go.
They bake and make all their stuff in house. The excellence of their wares is evidenced by the number of customers and the many take out orders getting picked up.
The counter person was super helpful, friendly and welcoming. They recommended several things and I tried the coconut bread, a signature item. It was delicious - a large slab that was moist and flavorful. I appreciate the variety. This isn't the same old-same old.
My iced coffee with vanilla was perfection. I look forward to returning soon!“

“Best juice and smoothie spot in Seattle! Hoping they open more brick and mortar locations. I'm a frequent visitor at the location on cherry and in the municipal building. Good seating options outside the cherry location and a few small tables inside. They have a service window outside making it easy to wait outside for your order.“

“One of my favorite quick and easy travel meals in the city! I used to go multiple times a weeks when the location was downtown. The new capital hill spot has fairly easy parking. Though not near my work route, I still make the trip over for the bacon/ham/ egg or the garlic beef. Lots of amazing stuff to try with loads of light and airy seating options.“

“Great food! Strawberry Basil was amazing! (The one with the bite out of it. It was mine lol) and The vibe inside is awesome. Super friendly. Definitely stopping by whenever in the area. Thank you!“

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

“My work team gets the veggie bagel sandwiches here from time to time and we love them. They’re always delicious and unique, with (I think) garlic oil on the inside, eggs, veggies, cheese and your choice of bagel. No matter how many I’m ordering or how busy it is, service is always genuine and efficient.“

“wonderful service, AMAZING coconut cake! a lovely spot for a great dessert!“

“Considering tax is included, no tip required, and no oat milk surcharge, I feel like this is one of the cheaper options to get a matcha latte! And the baristas are so sweet! Upstairs is very cozy for working on your fiber arts project. There's also desk lamps and a yarn winder/swift for you to borrow. Hojicha was sold out the afternoon I came, but I will definitely stop by again.“

“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.“

“Bang Bang Cafe had friendly staff and super yummy drinks! My daughter said the Strawberry Matcha was the best she's ever tasted.“

“🤷‍♀️My sister and I had never been here before. I got here first and I knew she would love it❤️, given the menu and the warm atmosphere. I got drip coffee☕️ which was perfect and a bowl of the lentil soup🥣 with baguette🥖, soup had just been made. The lentil is similar to Turkish lentil, very smooth. She had the spinach pizza, Turkish coffee☕️ and we split the pistachio croissant. Everything was tasty. The Turkish coffee 🍵could use some cardamom, however, imho.
The main draw to Radiant Flavors is the family who works there. They are so personable, checking to make sure we were pleased with everything. And so friendly! The ambiance was chill and relaxed. We shall return!! ❤️“

“Yeobo Café and Bar, located at Madison and John in Seattle, is a super cute and chill spot. The team is exceptional, and I had the best sweet coffee of my life. Like seriously... toasted sesame with coffee is my new love language. I love their socially responsible no-tipping policy and how it fosters equitable compensation for the team. Mad kudos. With reasonable prices and comfy furniture, it’s the perfect everyday vibe. As in if I lived in the neighborhood I'd be there everyday.“

“Customer service is great. The owner was serving us and she's as so nice! She told us how the shop opened in June during the pandemic. There isn't seating inside but just across the street is a cute open public seating area. We got the chocolate chunk salted cookie, the vegan triple chocolate cupcake, mocha, and chia with oat milk. I recommend all of it! The vegans triple chocolate cupcake was perfect, moist and light.“

“Seasonal menu is great, the mocha shake is to die for. I upgraded mine to a malt, just finished it, and I want another already 😂 Barista was kind and friendly.“

“excellent coffee ! best hazelnut latte in Seattle! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 stars out of 5“

“Great homemade food served with a smile at prices that can't be beat. Everything I had here is amazing. They have been in business for years but only recently found them. It's tucked away in the lobby of a beautiful historical office building.“

“kind and welcoming staff and the food was delicious“

“this is the coffee shop side of gearhouse - an outdoor social club. Great drink menu with good quality coffee to your day. the vibe is great for getting work done, with the occasional co-working opportunities if I run into other GH member :)“

“Having just moved to Belltown, I’ve been looking for a cute local lunch spot. The folks running this spot are absolutely lovely, my BLT was amazing, and I’ve been dreaming about their peach mango black ice tea ever since. If you’re looking for a small business to support, this spot absolutely deserves it.“

“Great food and good for you. A great neighborhood place!“

“Creative menu and great bakery options. Full coffee bar. Service is good for how it is set up; you order at the counter, they deliver your order to your table, you bus your own table. Atmosphere at lunch time is usually quiet, several people working on their laptops. Additional outdoor seating is a nice option on a warm day. They offer a senior discount.“

“Van Gogh Coffeehouse in Wedgwood is like stepping into a cozy, caffeine-fueled version of the artist’s mind—minus the ear incident. The walls are adorned with Van Gogh reproductions, giving the place a quirky charm. I ordered a veggie sausage breakfast sandwich: a savory patty nestled between a toasted English muffin, with egg, cheddar, and mayo. It was hearty and satisfying, a perfect start to the day. The sparkling water added a refreshing touch. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is laid-back, with a mix of locals and students typing away on laptops. It’s a delightful spot that captures Seattle’s unique blend of art and coffee culture.“

“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!“

“This cafe is so cute. We got the hojicha banana milk latte which was amazing - comforting and delicious. We also got the matcha ube jam latte which was also very good. It takes the ube jam a bit of stirring to mix in with the rest of the beverage. I will definitely go back to try the boba tea or the sesame latte!“

“Such great coffee and food. The service and atmosphere are AMAZING 😀“
