Great Nutty Irishman Latte , but pastry case was empty on a Sunday near opening. Employee informed us that he had some cookies in the back.Got the vibe that he really wasn’t interested in any conversation or interaction.

The owner is a treasure. I appreciate that they keep the food affordable for students.

A great café on the UW-Seattle Campus. One of only 2 as of 2023, that still take cash* (more on that in a moment). Food and Drink is great, Atmosphere is calming, but paraphrasing the manager "...As a small business, it's hard for us to (unload) dollar coins..." As someone who works in a small business (lives in one, as it's a family business), there are workarounds (i.e.: exchanging at the bank; give some as change, et cetera). These are tough times, but to preference forms of domestic currency- while no statute against it, can alienate potential customers, and that's bad for business overall. You could alienate someone, and it results in negative outcomes.Overall, a good place to eat, study, and clear your head. Food is good, drinks are good, place is clean and well-kept, the atmosphere is good, and the actual service is great too. It's just the business sense- that brings down the scores.

City Grind Espresso is my favorite place to grab a cup of coffee on campus. How can you beat a $1 drip coffee? They also have some food items to keep you going throughout the day. With the lines at Starbucks taking 30 minutes, why wouldn't you come here?I am so glad that they made it through the pandemic and are now reopened. You can access this business by entering the Henry Art Gallery and letting the staff know you are going to the coffee shop (you don't need admission to the gallery). You will need to show proof of vaccination, and a picture on your phone will work for that. They are currently open for to go orders only as of 10/29/21.

City Grind Expressos is located one floor down from the admission desk on the main floor of the Henry Art Gallery. You do not need to pay, or have a Husky Card, to gain admission to the museum to come to the cafe. Just tell the person at the desk you are visiting the cafe.Walking downstairs, there is a freestanding sign that points out the cafe. Inside the style is "arty" as you might expect a Cafe here to be. I especially like the the polished aluminum-like cafe chairs and tables.I like there are signs on the tables to share your table with others if the cafe is busy. I like that.There is a self-serve area with all the fixings for your coffee or other bevs, and self serve water. You can request ceramic cups instead of being served in paper cups.All in all, and nice "small" cafe hidden away from most of the hustle bustle of this big metropolitan University.

Pretty fantastic relaxed college cafe atmosphere and, despite all expectations, pleasantly air conditioned.
Cheap drip coffee and a little courtyard where you can drink it.

I like the melted cheese sandwiches and the great coffee. Also, very friendly place.

This place is really cool. It is tucked neatly in the middle floor of the Henry, there are usually cool exhibits nearby and they have a nice outdoor area. I walked around the Henry for a bit then stopped here for a sandwich. I ordered the mozzarella and tomato sandwich, it was simple, well made, and tasty. I liked the environment a lot so I stuck around to study after eating. Definitely recommend for a cool place to hang out or grab a sandwich, coffee, or salad.
