I had the butternut squash curry bowl and the earl grey lavender matcha. Both items were good. The butternut squash curry bowl tastes like butternut squash pieces in a Thai red curry but milder. All in all it's decent. The cafe is a Good place to do remote work from. Has a lively, bright atmosphere

$12 for 2 mini shrimp tacos with no sides or option to buy one. There were 3-4 mini shrimp in each street taco. Super disappointing and i left still hungry. Order at the counter and bus your own table. They suggest a minimum 18% tip and regrettably I did, not realizing how small the portions were, that I'd have to pick up our drinks at the counter & clean the tables. The location is the only thing worthwhile about this place. Do not recommend going here

Absolutely love coming here - the food is fresh and delicious! I love the roasted veggie bowl and breakfast burrito. They have a great atmosphere and really fun events. Definitely recommend.

The place has a nice aesthetic but I got a decaf vanilla latte and it was okay and couldn’t taste the vanilla much. Overall, the service was good.

Food and coffee were excellent. Love the atmosphere with the VW bus you can eat in. Most of all, the service was great and they handled a huge post-5k crowd with grace. Will definitely come back.

My new favorite place. Excellent coffee and healthy food choices. I buy their coffee beans to make fresh coffee at home. One of those rare places you could go to everyday.

I was staying with friends in the Green Lake area and needed a place to work for a few hours. I walked over from my friend's place, and the stroll around Green Lake was such a nice way to start the day. I was pleasantly surprised to discover Pocha Collective – what a gem!
This spot brings such an energetic, community-driven vibe to an already vibrant neighborhood. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance: there are plenty of regulars who clearly know each other, but also people working independently. It almost feels like a coworking space, with lots of friendly conversation happening around you.
The design elements really make this place special and bring the entire space alive. The standout feature? A VW van right in the middle that serves as a unique group space, working nook, or meeting area. It's quirky and fun!
The coffee is excellent – when you order a large, it comes in a genuinely huge mug (no skimping here!). The food is delicious, and the whole setup encourages you to settle in and stay awhile. As a nice touch, they even bus your dishes for you.
If you're looking for a place to work, meet friends, or just enjoy good coffee and food in a vibrant community setting, Pocha Collective is absolutely worth a visit.

In my opinion, the food is slightly overpriced, but it’s healthy and tasty. And you feel like you’re camping with the old vw van in the seating area.

I don’t usually leave reviews but wow, hands down to the best waffles I’ve ever had in my life! And on top of everything they were vegan and gluten free! I will be back so many more times, please don’t discontinue.

Absolutely love their drinks here. They advertise no sugar! For me, any smoothie or fresh press juice should never need added sugar and be enjoyed in their natural taste! Love that they do this here. There food items was also delicious, clean and not processed. I think they really speak to the wellness cafe
clean and bright with wood, big plants, modern natural vibes. And yes, a big VW van right in the middle. personality & nice space! Great for a meetup or quiet brunch while I'm in from out of town. beautiful fresh baked goods. Delicious breakfast scramble. Great service. too. Nice. nice nice

The staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is very unique, cool, with a lot of plants. The seating is very comfortable. I got a matcha latte and it was very yummy! Would recommend to anyone.

Only complaint is that it’s always full of people, but apart from that it’s great - love the ambience, the food, and the coffee
Rec - The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was pretty good

A new favorite of mine! Even when it’s dreary out, Pacha’s vibe is always bright and warm. A great place if you want to get some work done, but seating can fill up quickly on peak hours. Menu offers a great variety, and there really is something for everyone.

I'm really glad I discovered this place, the van in the restaurant is really neat, and I got one of the better lattes I've had here as well. The barista was very friendly, and the space has a lot of good seating options, and overall a really pleasant vibe.
