Best paninis and salad in Seattle combined with cool vibe (kind of Seattle Swedish). Great beer and wine.

A very warm, artistically inclined cafe, with plenty of books, art and home decor to look at. The coffee I had was good and the service was pleasant.

First, Marc can start by issuing the refund we've been promised. He's kept our money for three weeks on items he is admittedly out of stock of and has no intention of fulfilling. Further, he waited until we both reached out to him on every social media channel, email address we could find, and through his website before he finally responded to us. We've made every effort to get this resolved as politely and professionally as possible to no avail. Deeply unsatisfied with this experience and would NEVER recommend Marc or anything he is associated with to anyone we know.

This is a perfect little spot for having brunch. Their avocado toast and pesto plus cheese croissant is amazing!

The shop is adorable, and the staff is friendly and provides good service. Unfortunately, everything we ate was horrible. Not just not that good, but really awful. I didn't know it was possible to mess up avocado toast, but they found a way to do it. Even the coffee was extraordinarily bitter. Perhaps they need to make sure that everyone on staff really knows how to execute the limited menu, as there is only one person on staff at a time. Maybe the wine bar aspect is better? We didn't try any wine tasting. Overall, I think they need to stick to what they execute well.

I originally had stopped here to get a coffee, but after seeing how incredible it was inside and how friendly the employees were, we decided to stay for breakfast. I got the steel cut oatmeal with bananas and blueberries, and it was AMAZING. The blueberries were fresh and sweet, and I could tell it was prepared with care (the presentation was beautiful). I also got an iced oat milk latte, which was the best coffee I had in Seattle throughout my trip. It was also a major perk that they had oat milk (the best kind too!). The individuals working at the time were so friendly and personable. I currently do not live in Washington, but plan to move within the next 6 months, and this place is going to be my new obsession once I do. Overall, amazing food/coffee and INCREDIBLE atmosphere. I would give more than five stars if I could!

The staff is friendly and professional (Jasmine rocks!) and Marc (owner) is phenomenal.

An eclectic place with great food and amazing service. An absolutely divine experience! Exquisite brunch, gorgeous ambiance and lovely service! Check this place out! This is by far the most "Instagram-worthy" cafe I have been to. A small design shop in Belltown, this place also doubles up as a coffee shop that sells both breakfast and lunch items. I absolutely love the stylish decor. The coffee and food are both great! Especially the breakfast sandwich which is a perfect combination of an egg, arugula, cheese, bell peppers, and pesto.

Just saw that they put their sign that’s normally kept outdoors, up against the trunk of our family car. We happened to be in one of the parking spots that was in front of the cafe and they just set their big sign we had to move against our property. Rude.

Adorable cafe! Absolutely in the love with the interior. Food is a little pricey but not bad for the area. Coffee is normal price and served in fancy tea cups. Great shopping too! Unique art books and other artistic gifts. Great to take out of towners for a unique experience other than Starbucks!
Such a beautiful well done space with AMAZING food and drinks and even more amazing people and owners. Very well done guys. I know where to take everyone now for a nice night on the town.

Kind of torn in rating this place. On one hand, it was an amazing little shop, with furniture, house decor, tableware. Should it be a restaurant? I am not so sure. The idea is cute but execution very poor. We came here on a chilly Saturday morning for breakfast. Two hours later and less than a little frustrated, I left feeling bit angry. We were sited at the bar and for maybe 15 minutes did not get any attention- this is with the owner and another employee busily doing things behind the bar for a seemingly empty establishment. I don't like to be rude, but finally asked for a water, maybe even a coffee. My sister ordered a latte which came out 20 minutes later. At that point, I also asked for a menu, since one wasn't given to us. The menu was extremely limited. You see, they don't really have a kitchen - I realized this once it was too late. Food was mostly pre-made or simple. We both ordered bagel and lox sandwiches that came with a side salad. They were good in fact but probably were not worth the price tag. The bill came to a total of $60 for two bagel and lox, a latte and hot tea. Kind of steep. Again - I think it's a cute place but if it is run as a cafe with food, the service should be consistent as such.

Perfect place to step inside and away from the bustle for a cup of coffee or more. Interesting items to buy or browse in this small place, right near Amazon headquarters.

Best paninis and salad in Seattle combined with thoughtful, sophisticated, advanced decor and vibe (kind of Seattle Swedish). Great beer and wine.

Loved our time at This Life on our Seattle getaway. Beautiful space, fun company, perfect coffee.
