The Shop by Porter

Barista noticed we were having a hard time with a whiny child and went out of her way to try to be helpful. Appreciated!

Such a stunning space! The curated gifts are chef’s kiss, and the natural light makes for a perfect work environment. Everyone I interact with at the cafe is always so lovely. They keep me coming back!

Awesome cafe. Really pleasant to meet or work at. High-quality coffee drinks.

Great coffee and greater atmosphere for a chill hangout or work session! It’s beautiful inside with a bauhaus-inspired interior design. I appreciate the open space in general, and everyone is free to use it how they see fit! Would go here again to chill and have a little moment to myself.

Very chic, comfy, modern and SPACIOUS café/lounge area! Porter apparently used to be for office employees only, so I'm happy it's open to public now. The menu had a good range of teas, coffee, and happy hour cocktails, with baked goods (Kyoto, Houjicha) from my favorite (Japanese/French) Mitten Bakery! Tables were evenly spaced out for decent privacy, with many plush chairs, and there's a variety of high quality, handmade gift/home decor/kitchen accessories for sale, imported from various countries in the world. You can also reserve private rooms for meetings etc.

Also two very stylish and clean bathrooms.

Staff were friendly and professional, thank you so much for the welcoming space. Can't wait to go back!!

I'll echo the sentiment of some other reviews on here: The Shop is an excellent shopping and co-working space. The interior is beautiful and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Staff service is excellent and the people are friendly/conversational. However if you're mainly stopping in for a quick drink or a snack to go, this isn't the best place for that. I got a 12oz honey latte which came out to 8.50 after tax. Sandwiches range from 13-15 before tax, meaning a dish and a drink could easily exceed $20-$25 all said and done. While good, the price was definitely a premium for what I got.

My americano was bitter, and expensive (even for Seattle). On top of that, they didn't seem to care that the half and half had curdled. Granted, it was 30 minutes before closing, but they didn't care about what it did to my coffee and didn't care about any other customers that came in before closing. I won't be back.

Found my new go-to cafe in Seattle. First off, the cafe itself is so beautiful. I love that there is a variety of seating arrangements that aren’t just a table and two chairs. There’s a sofa, lounge chairs, accent chairs, meeting tables, etc. Also, private rooms that you can reserve. The coffee is a 10/10 and the service was exemplary. Overall, it hit all the marks of what I was looking for in a cafe.

Listed as a Steelcase dealer on their site. Not at all. It's a cafe with terrible (breakfast) hours. Really needs to be delisted from the Steelcase site.

Also, outdoor sign says happy hour every weekday until 6pm, but the doors were locked at 430pm on a weekday. As a business, just weird practices.

Excellent place to sit and work. Friendly staff. Love the East Fork pottery which is used to serve drinks and can also be purchased in the shop.

3 key things this place has that makes it perfect for studying: 1) outlets everywhere 2) wifi fast enough to stream videos 3) minimal music

Great ambience and rooms to work, overpriced coffee could be much much better!
