I’m visiting from England and stopped by for tea – honestly one of the best cups I’ve had in a long time. The flavour was spot on and brewed perfectly. I also tried one of their pastries and it was fresh, warm, and delicious.
The cafe has a really cosy atmosphere, friendly service, and a peaceful vibe that makes it a great place to relax. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Really great cafe, breakfast sandwich is good but ruined with American cheese - yuck. The bread is wonderful. Pastry selection and cakes look great but haven’t tried yet.

We lucked out finding this place after visiting the Asian Art Museum in a charming area of the Capitol Hill section of Seattle. The cafe is small and homey with welcoming staff. Although the menu is limited (breakfast/lunch), the food is inventive, homemade and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the avocado toast with Za'star, mushroom soup and potato topped bread. This is a must come back to place for us!

Truly some of the best food in Seattle with a delightful atmosphere and terrifically kind people! I don't know how hidden it is but it's 1000% a gem!

The breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious — it really lived up to its reputation. I especially loved the crispy bits of bacon mixed in; they added such a nice crunch. The egg was soft and moist, and of course, the bread was great too.
For dessert, I ordered a banana muffin, a mini crumble pie, and a chocolate cake — all of them were amazing, but the chocolate cake stood out the most. It was rich and fudgy without being too heavy, and it paired perfectly with the cappuccino I ordered. The cappuccino was smooth and nutty, and my friend keeps saying we should go back again just for that chocolate cake!

Super cute spot. Came here before hitting the Asian art museum. Coffee was so good... perfect micro foam! Toast was amazing! It was pretty small inside but there is outside seating as well. Definitely worth a visit. Cookies are super good too!

I had heard lots of positive things about this place, but I had also heard many people state that the place is a bit overpriced. I decided to stop by on my way to the Arboretum this morning. It was a cute place, not too loud, very friendly staff and quick service, but I wasn't overly impressed with my latte, which isn't the end of the world, but for the price it just wasn't enough to make me want to come back 🫣

The breakfast sandwich is so good! It's not overhyped at all. The other baked desserts was very tasty.
Found this gem while completing a neighborhood stroll. Such a quaint place. In the middle of a residential area, tree lined streets. Street parking. Limited tables. Coffee, pastry’s, etc. pet and kid friendly. Lines might be long and tables go fast.
Super cute cafe with lots of little goodies to browse from and freshly made baked goods, but be warned the prices here are quite steep. Iced drinks only come in 16 ounces so an iced vanilla oat latte came to $9.10 and a slice of focaccia was $7 before tax.
Muffin was mid but coffee also kind of mid- vanilla latte could be better but good syrup options and super cute area and inside

One of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle. The cozy atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the burnt sugar latte is perfection. Try the toast!
