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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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. 🌤️💛“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️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 ☕️“

“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.“

“Excelente servicio me encanta su atención“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“A welcome addition to the South Seattle restaurant scene. Pho was delicious and generously proportioned; my partner was pleased with her fried rice. It took longer than expected to take our order, but then our meal arrived so fast I didn't even have time to enter the WiFi password. Nice bright setting was much improved when the rude parents who failed to quiet their screeching toddler finally left.“

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

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

“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! 🙂☀️☕️“

“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.“

“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!“

“One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! The basque cheesecake is heavenly. A really lovely spot to have a relaxing wine or cocktail and read a book or catch up with friends. Great selection of wines to pickup a bottle to take home as well! ✨ service is always warm and friendly 🥰“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“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.“

“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 😀“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Huge, delicious sandwiches on focaccia. Nice space with a patio out front. Pricing on the sandwiches is not crazy imo, but I paid $10 for a can of beer I was expecting to be on draft. Cocktails are decent but not a cheap place to grab a drink.“

“Biscuit and Bean is my favorite biscuit place, the staff is amazing, and so is the food. 🖤 So good it was one of my wife's first food requests after her stroke! She was adamant about me getting her a classic with maple butter! 😂“

“Delicious food made with high quality ingredients.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“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 (:“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“
