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.“

“NEKO Cat Cafe is such a fun, feel-good spot in Seattle. You come for the coffee, but honestly, you stay for the cats. The space is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up so the cats can roam freely while guests relax.

The drinks are solid, but the real highlight is spending time with adoptable cats in a calm, cozy setting. It’s a cute date idea, a stress-reliever after a long day, or just a sweet way to support animal adoption while enjoying a coffee.“

“Lively neighborhood spot with great coffee. It's clear they are invested in creating community in Eastlake with all their fun events! Food options include pastries, bagels from Backyard Bagels, meat pies, and some prepackaged burritos/sandwiches.“

“The vibes are immaculate. The interior is gorgeous, the staff were super great and so sweet with my kids, the entire menu looks delicious. I’m so excited y’all are back. ❤️❤️“

“Stopped by with 3 friends after touring the steel plant. Our orders were expertly prepared and delivered to our table. The owner kindly turned down the music upon our request.
Everything you could ever want in a neighborhood coffee bar.“

“Small, modern, but not clinical. Third wave coffee shop and Cafe. Interesting selection of beans, and great drinks at the bar. And I had a fruity boozy cold brew, and more recently the seaweed latte- both were delicious and different and I will definitely be back.“

“As someone who truly knows and appreciates authentic Arabic food, finding Hamsa Arabic Cafe in Seattle has been an absolute revelation. The experience here was nothing short of perfect. The flavors are remarkably genuine and instantly remind me of home.

I tried almost every single dish on the menu, and every plate was executed beautifully with high-quality ingredients and perfect execution. This place isn't just serving food; they are sharing a rich culinary culture. If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out. Try it once, and you will absolutely fall in love and become a regular. A true gem in Washington!“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“This place is absolutely to die for. The staff is amazing the drinks are so intricate and honestly the best coffee I have ever tasted and the food all fresh all hand made and baked fresh it is mouth watering. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.“

“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 good coffee nice service“

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

“Oxbow is often our weekend treat. Their bagels are my favorite in seattle, their pizza is perfect. Every other item is wonderful (although i think the tuna salad sandwich could use more tuna).

The coffee is really great, and a small local roaster.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️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 ☕️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Easiest 5 stars I've given in my life.. If you are in downtown and looking for a baked good, stop searching and get yourself to Mirabelle ASAP. Nowhere else in Seattle will a butter croissant genuinely melt in your mouth - the details in the shop are impeccably accurate, down to the cafe tables and lights in the shop - my cortisol levels drop every time I eat here. Truly a piece of Paris and Europe in Seattle - nothing comes close.“

“I LOVE this store. I would travel to pike place market just for this place. They have a selection like no other store, with quality brands that you cannot find anywhere else. On top of that, they have a wide array of fresh cheese and meats, where the staff gives great recommendations and service. It’s the perfect place to spend an hour solo shopping or with your girlfriends and buy everything you don’t need. I love it so much.“

“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.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“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.“

“I found this elegant coffee shop near where I'm staying on Beacon Hill. The place is laid out in a very comforting and relaxing fashion, serving well prepared coffee drinks and a great selection of pastries.

They also have a full wine bar which makes it a great place to come anytime of the day. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. I will definitely be visiting periodically since it's an enjoyable place to hang.

It is located within easy walking distance of the beacon Hill links stop. I recommend the place highly.“

The general atmosphere is always so friendly and cosy, I love stopping by for a quick bite or hanging out getting some work done while snacking on a spam musubi. Thank you Yeobo <3“

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

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

“A must try when in Seattle! Incredible vegan savory and sweet options - we are obsessed with the vegan beef and cheese piroshki, and potato rosemary, but there are so many! They have the best sticky bun ever too. Our son loved the non vegan ones too! One of the best places in Seattle!“

“4.9/5 — It’s not spring without a sandwich (!!) the breakfast turkey sandwich and veggie samosas are so tasty and filling. Homemade chai was watery, there’s far better elsewhere; no tea, no shade. Vibes are immaculate. It’s like if pioneer square art walk were a café.“

“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! 😂“

“I love coming here on my days off from my barista job. It’s nice to get my caffeine fix without mentally clocking in. Even though I could grab a free coffee made perfectly to my standard at work, I choose to come here to fully enjoy my day off. The lattes are consistently good, the seating is cozy, and it’s just a short walk from home. The baristas are friendly too!“

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

“What a great little spot! I had a delicious breakfast sandwich -The Smashwich- and my latte was smooth, no bitterness. The baked goods are made on site and there are some surprises. We got a sample of their pickle biscuit. Yes, just as it sounds, a biscuit with dill pickle pieces in it. The combination works!The biscuits are wonderfully spongie, not dry. The Cherry pistachio muffin was so good, not overly sweet, and the flavor profile was perfectly balanced, plenty of cherry pieces to muffin ratio. On top of all that, the staff was very nice and super helpful with all our questions.“
