Solid coffee and a simple collection of pastries. Friendly service.

Hypocrisy at its finest.
For those not aware, this establishment is going to reintroduce tipping and service fees, in addition to their employees getting $21.30 an hour. So now that employees will be getting $21.30 an hour plus tips — that’s great for them, but if that’s truly about fairness, shouldn’t menu prices go down to reflect it? The messaging here feels completely inconsistent. You can’t claim to stand for “fairness” while charging customers higher prices and still expecting tips on top. It’s a perfect example of Seattle’s performative “progressivism” — all talk about equity, until it comes time to actually make it fair for the customer too.

Ive read some of the reviews as I recently started working in the neiborhood, and my experiences was quite a bit different, I ordered a Carmel oatmilk latte to go, staff was super friendly, price was fair, and coffee was surprisingly good! A little sweet but the staff offered to add more espresso when making the drink, I prefer it sweet sooo 👍 I've paid more at top pot for a coffee that tasted watered down. This wasn't. No hate to top pot the staff is great but coffee could be better.

Had a great matcha latte with 24g honey and oat milk. Cairo was attentive and precise with the measurements. I really appreciated that the matcha powder wasn’t premixed with sugar, which is rare to find. It still had the perfect touch of bitterness, even after the honey. Plus, there’s a cozy bookstore tucked right inside, loved that!

This morning, (7/11) I was surprised to find the cafe closed, as it’s usually my go-to spot after my morning run around 7am. No sign on the door or anything. Hopefully everything is alright and somebody was just running late.

My favorite coffee shop to sit, chill and get some work done on Sundays. Cairo the barista is super nice, personable and always makes the best drinks!

I went to try out their summer menu and the barista Cairo made me a fantastic Cherry Bomb. It was one of the best summer coffee drinks I’ve ever had, I’ll be back to have it again!
Super friendly barista, Kairo killed it making my lavender rights matcha :)

Great atmosphere, service, and drinks but a bit pricier than other cafes. To be expected for the area, but just keep that in mind. Otherwise great though!

I was charged $10.21 for ONE 8oz oatmilk latte. Crazzzzy price I’ve ever paid. Never going back. It wasn’t even anything extraordinary that would justify that price.

Light, airy, minimalist aesthetic cafe with decent seating (7+ tables), including 2 corner booths by the windows! Coffee was ok; about $1 - 2+/drink more expensive than other Seattle cafes. They have a staff-curated book selection on the walls, along with a few notebooks, stickers, water bottles and other small items for sale. They also had 2 very clean bathrooms with diaper changing tables, which is always appreciated.
Appears to be a popular choice for ppl working remotely or friends stopping by for a quick chat. The space and table to table distance is quite narrow, so I wouldn't recommend it as kid friendly (though they had some children's books). Even some moms sat outside on the outdoor patio as there was more space for the prams / strollers. Better as a pickup to go place.
