The coffee was good, but the scone was dry and boring. Good place to go for just coffee.

Wow I went in order americano and ask if WiFi available and respond was ya. Then I ask if I could get the coffee for here the lady gave me a dirty look and threw the paper cup and I said sorry I don’t want the coffee or service.Must been a bad morning for her and I would not come back to this place. This was on Friday 4/26 around 9:00 AM

Cute little neighborhood cafe with colorful decor and a spacious back room. Visited for a quick cup of coffee before heading to the Seattle Bouldering Project; hope to be back again soon!

Nice little tucked-away cafe. No-frills menu with other goodies and treats like their oatmeal breakfast cookies and homemade breakfast bread. The room in the back is great for reading, doing work, etc. It will remind you of an elementary classroom with lots of books, retro school chairs/stools, and tables.

Great neighborhood coffee house and hang-out. They have just enough business to keep things going and Im thankful for that. Coffee is good, homemade quick breads are yummy too.

This is a great little coffee shop. There was plenty of room to kick back and relax while enjoying a cup of yummy coffee. The coffee was very good, and their parfait was delicious!

I work nearby Cafe Weekend and its become one of my go to choices for a quick coffee and snack. The services has been pleasant and timely every time Ive been here. Its a nice option in an area otherwise devoid of good coffee shops.

I love this place because of the owner. She is the sweetest and really seems to care about her customers. You can find her in their on any given day mixing coffee or baking a strata. On first glance it seems really small. However, the backroom is quite spacious and usually has available seating. They close at 2 pm during the week which is a bit early. And, they will often be closed on the weekend with a sign in the window to inform. There is also no phone number to call to find out ahead of time if it will be closed or not. There is a sporadically updated Instagram that may help.

Decent cup of chai and I dont say that lightly. Ive spent significant time in India, Nepal, and South Asia and while it may not have been perfectly authentic, I will say it was pretty darn good and way better than most chai Ive been served in Seattle. Would drink again!

Really wanted to like this place as its near my office. Nice aesthetic inside, but the prices were a little high and I wish they used real mugs instead of paper cups. Biggest issue was that the service wasnt great. Felt like I was irritating the girl when I asked a question about the menu, and did not feel comfortable hanging around in the back space as I had been made to feel slightly unwelcomed. After reading the reviews it seems like this is a common issue, and the replies from management make it seem like they are not truly acknowledging or taking ownership of the issue (ie hiring staff who actually want to be there). Super shame because this place has a lot of potential.

Great coffee, but the barista was rude and full of attitude! 5 star coffee 1 star customer service. Hopefully her mood/attitude improves :/

All Ive heard/read about is how rude the staff is here. Literally walked in for the first time, said hello, and got talked down to immediately. Awesome.

Banana bread is worth getting. French press was nice and strong and youre not just chained to whats on the board, ask for something different and you might be surprised.

Monica is awesome. She remembers your name and drink, and always has a good conversation. Love this place.

Review №24

The barista was so incredibly rude. She was condescending when we asked questions regarding the menu, and then proceeded to overcharge both myself and my friend for our drinks. We will not be returning and had a horrible experience.

Cute shop. Great coffee. Cashless shop.

My Wife and I are new to Seatte and now that we are more familiar with the area, we walk further and pay more to go to a different coffee shop in order to avoid your baristas. They were rude on more than a few trips. Such a shame, because the coffee is actually pretty good.Edit: down from 2 stars to 1 star. My in-laws just walked over there and had another bad experience with your sarcastic barista. Wow.

This place is pretty much the only coffee in the area, so it sucks that its only open 6 hours a day at most; every time I want it, its closed.The espresso is a little mediocre.

Charge $1 for paper straws....blaming it on the new law which I support but really....$4 for coffee and no straw. Obviously just trying to make a buck.

I, myself, was not very satisfied with the beverages or the customer service. Though it is a small coffee shop located behind a busy transit route, in an apartment complex. What else should I expect right?
