Hi! Was in here this afternoon to have a sandwich and cappuccino. Awesome place with great decor collected from really cool places! Food is great as well as the drinks. Beer on tap as well as other delights in the cooler. Family orientated atmosphere and dog friendly. Has a great vibe here with plenty of seating and a outdoor area. Cool t-shirts and hoodies, cups, and caps.

Highly recommend this spot! I came in because I’m a motorcycle enthusiast and immediately fell in love with the vibes of this spot. There’s so many cool moto sports memorabilia, I could stay there for hours and not get bored. I came just for the coffee which was delicious btw but they also seem to have a really great food selection too. Highly recommend!

The chorizo sandwich is stunning, mild and well seasoned it’s like nothing in Seattle, Bread is perfection. The roaster chosen for the Vietnamese iced coffee makes it (imho) the best in town, it’s so smooth and satisfying. If you’ve ever been put off by the overly sweet robusta kind in the past, try this! both are good, but this offers a smoother experience everyone should try. It’s a lovely local business with incredible food, and the egg tarts are unbelievably good. Give them a try!

Dropped into the new neighborhood coffee hangout. What a hidden gem with neighborhood character! The coffee was spot-on delicious. I learned that Andy, the owner, hand makes each delicious sandwich from fresh sliced ingredients on site. You MUST try the Portuguese egg tarts. YUM! Definitely coming back here. Looking forward to bringing my motorcycle down to embrace the shops roots.

This is a great little shop that instantly brought back memories of my childhood with a daddy who hauled his tomboy daughter to the shop to help him work on cars all day, lol. But it's really a great little sando shop that has perhaps the best coffee I've had in a month of Sundays. No burnt beans here! I'd love to say I knew what beans they were, but this coffee was as smooth as Antigua. Absolutely delicious. My sandwich was warm and toasty. The bread was amazing, melted cheese, it was a great comfort food type of a sando that really hit the spot. This place won't be for everybody, this is for simpler folk that enjoy simple, wholesome food with a dash of old school atmosphere. Anyone who's ever stuck their head under the hood of their car, or spent a Saturday afternoon working on their
