50 Best Cafes in Seattle

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️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 ☕️“

“Thanks for sharing me guys! Love your coffee place! It’s a hot spot in #Calgary to run into cool people.“

“Such a lovely and convenient location. Helpful, friendly service. A simple yet elegant atmosphere ♥️☕️“

“Great products and excellent customer service. Love their coffee!! Specially “” their cappuccinos “ 😊“

“Excelente servicio me encanta su atención“

“La Copa has the best coffee in the area. Their staff understands the science and art of pulling espresso shots and their machine is calibrated properly so your drink is well made. They have a nice variety of food options made on premises and everything is delicious. Our favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge and yummy), the coffee cakes (flavors rotate), GF banana bread w/ chips, the danishes, the marzuka bars, the cookies, and the turkey pesto panini. The owners and staff are hard-working and kind. They care about their locals and the newbies. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You deserve it!“

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

“I brought a friend with me from out of town to visit this cat cafe- neither of us had been before. The staff were very kind and it was clear how much love is put in to the care and well being of the kitties. I’d recommend coming here, they have cute stickers and cat toys and other merch as well! Bring a few friends, I think the experience would be best with a slightly bigger group of friends (maybe 4-5) just so you have more people you know in the room with you (meaning, fewer strangers in the room) since they do cap the number of people that can be in the room at a time (for the kitties safety and wellbeing!).

Parking: May be difficult to find a spot really close, will likely have to park a couple blocks out on the street. Parking was cheap, about 5$ for just over an hour. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but give yourself some extra time and grace to find a spot.“

“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?? 😁“

“I met a great friend for breakfast here for the first time and it was such a lovely experience! The food was so delicious and the latte was wonderful, the staff was super nice, I look forward to going again! 🙂☀️☕️“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“Pros: 1. The food and bakery items are all incredible. Make it a point to try the veggie toast and buckwheat scone with jam and butter. In fact, pretty much every bakery item is delicious. 2. Friendly service

Cons: 1. The wait to order can easily be 10-15 min and that’s only with a few people ahead of you. 2. They need to keep a window cracked or something because there’s almost no ventilation happening so you will always leave smelling like the kitchen (and that scent sticks). 3. A bit on the expensive side.“

“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!“

“Excellent bakery bagels and some cookies pastries coffee was superb. I got the drip coffee it was made perfect I highly recommend this place. There’s not a lot of food but if you just want something light with your coffee, this is the place.“

“Vegetarian options: Today was my first visit to Livbud; I found it through Seattle Restaurant Week. The service was great and I enjoyed the mushroom tartine, but the roasted eggplant soup was absolutely delicious. I can't describe the flavor; an unusual kind of pepper might have contributed to it.

There are a lot of other dishes I want to try in future visits. That soup will be hard to resist, though!“

“👍👍👍👍👌👌👋👋👋👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

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

“I live in Portland and I try to come to this cafe anytime I’m in Seattle visiting my friend. I almost always see the same women working, and they are friggin amazing. Food and drinks are always a 10/10, and the prices are extremely fair in my opinion.“

“I am a regular customer of DeLaurenti since early 2000s.The products they sell are of top quality; the sandwiches and everything you can find in this store is delicious. However, I was not feeling well lately and could not drive down there to do my regular biweekly charcuterie and chese shopping for months. I hesitated to use their delivery service because of the perishable items, but I still wanted to give it a try. The same day delivery worked like a charm. Everything was well packaged and labeled clearly. I’m glad they offer this option for those who cannot travel there, and I would certainly recommend the delivery service to everyone.“

“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.“

“They have the most delicious crepes! I had the market crepe with bacon and spinach and cheese and onions and it was so good. My dining companion raced about his crepe as well. They are not the fastest, but it is a tiny place- arriving early is good. I can't wait to return for more crepes!

Update: food continues to be great, service is less so. The staff tries their best, but they are very slow with food. Like, an hour to get food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“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!“

“This place is every best type of 90s nostalgia! As someone who vividly and fondly remembers physical record stores, being here warms my heart. And the cafe delivers great food with plenty of vegetarian options--for prices that seem to have barely changed since Nirvana played here!!“

“One of the most unique and delicious places to grab a bite!! The Icelandic yogurt is very creamy and delicious with the berries and granolas. The danish hotdog is high quality and tender with dill infused mustard and pickles. Def worth trying the tasty Nordic foods!“

“Delicious food, fun vintage roomy space, public house feel, friendly“

“In short-

Free easy parking
No wait (Saturday Afternoon)
Try the:
-Banh Uot Tower
-Loaded Broken Rice Plate
-Banh khot
And customer service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Everything is fresh (herbs, steamed rice, rice crepe) perfectly cooked proteins, delicious fish sauce and fragrant rice.

Order it all- you won’t regret it!

————
Traveling from Atlanta with my parents and American fiancé, looking for good Vietnamese food and happen to stumble upon this place after searching for Banh Uot. Let me tell you- it’s very difficult to find amazing Banh Uot and is usually a hit or miss . THIS THOUGH- hit all 3 criteria (tasty fish sauce, good protein, and fresh steamed rice crepe) I got the crispy pork and it was the crispiest I’ve ever had and didn’t need to add additional protein.

- Banh Uot Tower w/crispy pork - 10 out of 10!

The portion sizes are very generous and every dish at the table was delicious.

-Banh Khot had coconut cream and the bean paste blended so well together with the crispy base , (10 out of 10) Most Banh Khot you get turned off by the dripping grease. Again- best I’ve ever had.

I saw their specialty menu board and is very impressed by the authenticity and varied selection.

-Broken Rice plate was loaded with all the proteins and dad loved it! The meats were cooked just right, rice was fragrant, and fish sauce was delicious. The portion was huge. (10 out of 10)

From a family of foodie travelers, we were impressed by the quality and our satisfaction of everything dish we ordered. Really looking forward to frequently visiting this gem each time we are in town. The parking situation was also very convenient and easy to access.

I left a personal belonging behind mistakenly and they went above and beyond to go out of their way to get it back to me. Customer service here is impeccable!!!“

“Friendly staff and quick service on a Tuesday lunch rush hour. Came over here after a brunch over at new spot Calibri. Got the strawberry matcha, and it wasn’t too sweet or too bitter. I would probably not get it cold again, but it was good. Stroller friendly and stayed awhile (:“

“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“

“Usually good experiences…… but today soured my impression.“

“Delicious sandwiches, I am in love with my Turkey Rueben on GF bread also love Madison Special - so good. They have the 'no contact' pick up logistics mastered, it is apparent they're taking it very seriously which I appreciate. I order ahead online (from my phone) and then there is literally no wait for my lunch. Highly recommend. 💙 Madison Park in the summer is a great place to sit outside for lunch. PS. Arguably the best Caesar salad in Seattle!“

“First time at Victrola!
If you re coffee lover this is you re spot!! rich bold flavorful lattes, delicious and freshly baked Pastries, different than what you get in other shops, friendly service! Will definitely go back! One of the few spots I will highly recommend!“

“These girls are AMAZING! I come here regularly and placed a large work order the other day. Despite being short staffed, the barista was so kind and attentive she even helped me order drinks from their old specials. Thank you for being excellent at your job!!“

“Oh my goodness! This bakery has so many yummy treats! Some of our favorites were the churro cruffin, pear crème brûlée, blueberry pastry, almond croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. Don’t miss this gem!“

“My first day in my new city and as I walked around trying to find what I needed and came across a sign leading me here. The barista was kind and listened to my story. The pastry was amazing with tons of cinnamon and the mocha, just what I needed to move on with my move in.“

“Awesome; customer service, bread, bagel, dessert, and coffee along with numerous coffee style choices! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“My partner and I got the Full Habesha Plant-Based Beef Vegan Combo and it blew our minds. There was not a single thing on this platter that did not wow. And even though it is HUGE, we ate the whole thing, because we didn't want to leave any behind. If you get this meal, definitely get the extra injera (which is sooo good). The worker was also extremely kind and knowledgable. It was a treat to be here, and we can't wait to go back!“

“I rarely post reviews on places but the level of customer service always received at this location is incredible & should be noted. I want to particularly give a shout out to Znuie who is not only perfect at this job but is a most warm welcome presence on Elliot Ave; Ty!!!!“

“Very cute bakery with tasty matcha and a decent breakfast taco (good corn tortilla) given that they have no real kitchen. I loved sitting outside in the sun and relaxing today. I would definitely stop by again if I were in the area. There were a lot of pastries I'd like to try and didn't have the chance.“

“Tasty tasty food for lunch or dinner“

“Outstanding doughnuts from a local company that supports the community! What more could you ask for?“

“😍Amazing brunch & BEST ETHIOPIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD - staff is spectacular!!!“

“Lucky to find this true gem. Reminded me of visiting a European bakery. Atmosphere and food...thumbs up!

Dietary restrictions: Visited with my daughter. She commented on the nice vegan and vegetarian options.

Parking: Visited during construction. I bit hard to get around and find parking“

“Fun vibe... great lattes featuring foam art.... I appreciate that! baked goods are delicious too.“

“Best bakery in the state!“
