★★★☆☆ 3.0 francesandfrancis · Oct 2025

We checked this place for breakfast while visiting Seattle. We ordered their Belgian waffles and were looking forward to be served with freshly baked waffles. It came out just ok but was prepared in a rush. There was one staff member doing it all (taking orders, serving food, etc) which is a bit disappointing.

Stopped in for some morning fuel. It's good to travel with people that choose different places to try. I need to work on that trait myself. ATMOSPHERE: Cool little coffee shop with in & outdoor seating. There's a huge booth in the middle. FOOD: Croque Madame Ham & cheese on thick toasted bread, with fresh arugula and breakfast potatoes. Ooey-gooey goodness. It's a big portion for me as I'm not a huge breakfast eater, so it was perfect for two as a light meal. SERVICE: Our server was very helpful and friendly. OVERALL: Good food & great service.

stumbled upon this restaurant while heading to another local spot with an insane line. everyone was super friendly when we walked in! food tasted amazing, but was on the cooler side of freshly cooked for sure. we saw it sitting in the window for a bit when they got a little busy so that’s why not a full 5 stars for food. portions were great otherwise. coffee was amazing. if you’re looking for a good restaurant a bit away from main attractions; this is it!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kross · Feb 2026

Their Turkish latte is genuinely really good however they charge 1.5$ for alternative milks, sometimes more. Additionally, I think they have weekend pricing. Over 10$ for a 12oz coffee is very pricey. From their posting, they have increased the base price of the drink by 2$ over the last year and about 50 cents for the alternative milks. I understand that being competitive is important but this pricing is very hard to justify if you’d like to have even 1 coffee from here every week. I wish it was in the 6-7$ range.
