I couldn't really taste the raspberry notes in the mocha but the raspberry oat mocha and hibiscus rose matcha were equally delicious. The baristas were so efficient and fast with making the drinks. I really liked how clean and modern the cafe bar is and how there's plenty of seating if you want to get work/studying done

BE WARNED: the restaurant here closes *exactly* at 2:30pm, on the dot. The cashier called my party and I to the register, but right as we were starting to order, he cut us off, left to double-check with the kitchen, and returned before saying that the kitchen was closed for the day. I came with only two others and there was NO ONE ELSE BEHIND US. I understand needing to close the kitchen to allow for employees to clean up, but what I don't understand is: 1.) Why call us to the counter and start taking our order before checking whether or not the kitchen was taking orders anymore? At least check first!! 2.) If the kitchen closes exactly at 2:30pm, then why can't the employees put a sign out or something before then? 3.) There was literally no one else behind us. We were the last customers. Would it have been such a great inconvenience to close the kitchen after taking our orders? I've eaten here before, and the food here is otherwise pretty good, albeit expensive--hence the extra star. Nonetheless, the customer service is pretty disappointing, and I would think twice before eating here again.

If you are a planner like me (and many other millennials if social media is to be believed), you probably look carefully at a restaurant's website before going. Especially if you're vegetarian and a picky eater. I considered ordering ahead since I was short on time, so I looked at their menu via their online ordering system. I ended up ordering in person, and the print/PDF menu is totally different than what they have for online ordering. It shouldn't be hard to sync these up, and if you order online (spoiler: or if you order in person), don't expect to get what you ordered. I still ordered what I planned to--the garden veggie sandwich, no tomatoes. What I got was different from both the online ordering and print menus. The first ingredient (avocado) was missing. There were pickled onions not mentioned on either. The eggplant and pepper mentioned on the print menu was some sort of sauce that made the bottom half of the sandwich a soggy mess (the pickle spear that was placed underneath the sandwich in the to-go box didn't help). I ate about a third of it, mostly bread, cucumber, and sprouts. Definitely not worth $15. The root beer cream, which was on the online ordering system, was not on the print menu and confused the two cashiers until the barista showed them the button (it cost $6, but trying to enter it manually, they were about to charge me $9). It was tasty, as was the tahini blondie. After tax and tip, it was $34 for lunch. I'd only return for the drinks and order off the print menu.

The tuna melt was served with a side of crispy spicy potato chips and a pickle spear, making for an appetizing presentation. The sandwich itself was perfectly golden brown, indicating it was grilled to perfection.The first bite was a revelation of flavors. The tuna mix was creamy yet not overpowering, with hints of onion and celery adding a nice crunch and freshness. The cheese was melted just right, enveloping the tuna in a gooey, delicious embrace. The bread, buttery and toasted to a perfect crisp, held everything together harmoniously.

A stellar and balanced offering of coffee concoctions and boozy cocktails. Stellar for whatever drinks your desire. Bigger on the professional connection basis, but could work for a light date as well.

I'd only clicked up with Kanye a couple times. But the Oat Bar, Chai Tea and Coffee keep it all trill outchea on Olive. I'd highly recommend Mr West's restaurant. Didn't even know he owned spots all the way out here in Seattle. 5 stars.

Food: spicy tomato soup was good. Grilled cheese, ordered it extra toasty, came barely grilled and cheese was not melted. Service: food was not too long a wait, even during lunch rush. Got a seat and mobile ordered rather than standing in line. Staff kept place clean, quickly cleared dishes and spaces so people could find seats quickly Overall: Not worth the prices

This cafe bar has a wonderful ambience! Coffee was great and you get refills on regular coffee. They have plants adorning the shop and acute seating area. Service was welcoming and friendly.

Service was pretty quick given that there was alot of people around for a conference.

Good service. Nice ambiance. Limited food selections. Located right across from the Hyatt where we were staying, so that was convenient.

I strong recommend this place for breakfast or brunch. High quality food, cozy environment, cordial service and adequate portions. Next time in Seattle I'll try lunch or dinner. I recommend for sure.
