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. ❤️❤️“

“This coffee shop is located off of the main NW Market St. The store says that they have German and Chinese influences.

Tried the Shanghai fog - don’t think it has any caffeine in it but was delicious. It’s not overly sweet and had a soft creamy taste. Definitely one of the more successful variations on the London Fog

Lines can get pretty long on weekends and I think that’s mainly due to the fact that there is only one person at the cashier and the staff didn’t seem to be in any rush to get through the line. Worth a short wait if you’re in the neighborhood~“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best gelato in town hands down. Have been going for a while but last night we got to meet Chris, the owner, who comes up with the recipes. So fascinating! My partner is avoiding sugar but health reasons but based on his description for a bowl and didn't have any symptoms after! He wasn't trying to convince her, just answering some questions of mine. Turns out he comes up with the recipes and is coming out with a book! Can't wait for it Chris! Here's to the Cascadia style of Gelato!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee, one of the best i’ve had in Portland which sets a pretty high bar.“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

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

“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’ve been drinking mushroom coffee for about six months now. In the past two months I’ve switched to Wunderground. I started with the dark roast and also tried the medium I prefer the dark roasted. I also enjoy the Brain Wash super Boost. I add it to my coffee on my golf days. It helps with my mental attitude and energy levels.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Grocery plus Spritz Bar upstairs. Charcuterie and spritzers sit down area available upstairs, hidden quiet out of the way, especially for Pikes Place. They have lots of imported goods, and have gluten free pastas, sauces, and other grocery items as well. Glad to find they had some flavors of Torres I have not seen elsewhere. They have a busy sandwich deli upfront, but have not ventured there, not sure they have gf. Easy to find right on the 1st street facing the pike place sign.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and coffee - they (easily) talked me into a pistachio croissant and it was a great decision!! 5+ star service as well

It was a nice quiet place to work or study on a Saturday morning.

The property itself might not be the coziest cafe, a little industrial, but they've made the most with it, with lots of plants, books and nice music

I think a little outdoor seating or a cozy armchair would be a nice touch!“

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

“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.“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“This place is a gem! My friend and I stopped here to grab a bottle of wine, and ended up getting some cider and snacks. They have a great selection of natural wines from all over and reasonably priced. They also have a great selection of local ciders. The staff person working there was very friendly and helpful -- happy to provide suggestions and share knowledge. The food was also quite good. Highly recommend the gluten-free brownie!“

“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.“

“Lovely people, wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, open in the evenings, vegetarian options, right in my neighborhood. So glad they’re here!“

“Got a chocolate and passion fruit macaron. Best I’ve ever had. Really good coffee too, with friendly and helpful staff. If I ever come back to Seattle I would definitely stop by here again.“

“Delic breakfast! Super service! Highly recommend ❤️“

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

“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!“

“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 my safe haven as a creative with celiac. The food is incredible and full of unique flavors, a rarity when it comes to gluten free. 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“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

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

“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!“

“For my money, this is the tastiest coffee in Seattle. I used to get coffee here during the week when I lived closer; it is by far the best cafe in Downtown Seattle and perhaps the best in the whole city — I love it with my whole heart.“

“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! 😂“

“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 😀“

“Nice place,good service,good food“

“I ordered the strawberry matcha here with oat milk and it tasted very bland and grassy. They charge for flavoring. The customer service here was friendly. The space is kinda small with some seating. Overall, I don't think I'll come back here again and I don't recommend this coffee shop.“

“I just picked this place randomly for breakfast and it turned out to be the cutest, welcoming, and friendliest cafe I’ve been to so far during my trip! The food is great and the portions are big. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. I’m lucky to have found this cafe :)“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“You may well title this cafe as a hidden gem. The location and ambience is amazing! Both pastry, coffee and atmosphere are all equally phenomenal. The strawberry and rhubarb tart was simply outstanding, with its fresh dough clearly made from scratch.“
