I have enjoyed every visit! Great coffee, tasty food, and a ton of really good sandwich options. I love that this cafe has small pastries AND actual sandwiches - everything you need! They also have a really large drink menu, with tons of special drinks, syrups, and alternative milks. I enjoyed an Oahu Coconut Cold Brew, and my partner had a Salted Caramel Breve. I love stopping here any time I am at the beach!

Had a line out of the door but it was well worth it. Good place to get some coffee and catch a vibe at the beach. They had a lot of coffee combination that I have never heard of or thought of ever mixing together. Overall good place and environment.

My fave coffee/breakfast sandwich place. Everything is so good and stsff is so sweet. Highly reccomend.

The Hawaiian Sandwich with Avocado AND Spam was just WOW!! So flavorful and soft! Latte with oat milk is so delicious and perfectly made too! The wait can be a little long but totally worth it!

My default coffeeshop since moving into the neighborhood recently. Amazing flavors, great prices and friendly service. Will be back time and time again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this little place. A must try if you are around Alki Beach. And the food will surprise you for how solid it turns out.

This place is the best coffee shop!!! Lots of great food and drink options and the staff is always so friendly!

Cool little cafe. Good coffee, homemade mini donuts (really good) and tasty breakfast sandwiches. Definitely recommend for a breakfast bite in the area.

My favorite local coffee shop in alki, really good drip coffee and food options.

Great little coffee, beer, and wine shop on the beach. The staff is friendly, drinks are good, and their pastries are great. Good views and ample seating. The line can get long on sunny weekends.

Fast, friendly service. Good coffee, great location.

Coffee. Food. Service. It’s all amazing here! Highly recommend.

Fabulous coffee shop on Alki. The staff are friendly, the coffee is fabulous, and you can’t beat the view.

A small Cafe with beautiful view of Alki beach. Good place to just sit and relax with a cup of coffee or beer. Liked the veggie pesto panini as well!

OMG. I spent 5 bucks on a cup of cappuccino and it tasted so bad. It was sour and bitter. It wasnt smooth or creamy (as it was cappuccino). I was pretty sure it was worse than starbucks. Probably on par with McDonalds? I didnt really get it.

Wonderful service, great panini, perfect London fog, and adorable location to boot. I will definitely be back!

One of the best chai drink Ive ever had. Really great place to grab warm drinks and enjoy while walking in Alkai beach. We also tried the spicy mexican coffee and it was delicious. This place is much better than Starbucks and its in the same price range. We will be returning next we go the beach.

Always a delight, and an excellent Alki neighbor -- love the pantry / staples option!

I asked for extra hot and got luke warm. I asked for a coconut mocha and got a white chocolate mocha. The espresso was mediocre. The batista was very sweet!

Enjoyed their drip coffee with a little sugar and cream and my wife had the “nuts about you” latte that had a nutty flavor which she really enjoyed. The real star was the frittata sandwich which comes with eggs, spinach, Swiss cheese, mushrooms on a baguette. I devoured it after my wife took a few bites. Too many times all you can find at a coffee shop is a 10lb sweet cookie or muffin or pork filled sandwich, but these guys cater to those who don’t eat pork. Driving/walking past this place is a mistake if your craving that coffee. Well done team!!!

Cute place next to the beach, serving without having to go in during Covid. Very unique drink options, including Indian Chai (super spicy). Loved the experience and beverages.

Really good coffee and breakfast sandwiches, I like that they offer a variety of alternate milks (including hemp, my favorite) and the Hawaiian sandwich in particular was good!

Great cafe in the heart of Alki. I’ve only had their coffee and cinnamon rolls but both were delicious. The view can’t be beat when studying early on the weekends.

Awesome coffee shop right on the beach! The staff are always friendly, the owners are really cool (they live local and are really involved in the day to day run of things), the coffee is great, the sandwiches are amazing! I love the salami/basil/mozz sandwich & my 7yo daughter loves the veggie panini. Most food items are house made so feel better about what I am eating. Highly recommend coming here!

The Lavender Fog tea is my new favorite drink!

My absolute favorite little coffee shop and cafe on the beach!Lovely coffee, nice friendly service.

Love Ampersand as its only a mile from me. Needed to get out of the house so grabbing coffee and a snack to sit on the beach all alone is a great way to start your day.

Great view, great beverages, if only the food was a little better. By all means go there! They have delicious coffee, beer, and wine! I have eaten the sandwiches, they are not bad, but not quite satisfying to be honest, but I still go because I love the business, the employees, the view, and the drinks! Sitting outside is very nice when its not raining!

Very weak tasting drip coffee and the ham egg cheddar baguette is served on such a narrow baguette (barely wider than your thumb) that everything spills out.

Delicious biscuit sandie and drip, and they put just the right amount of cream in for me. Theyre open by 6:30AM these days. Thank you Amp Staff for being open so early!

You gotta try the Hawaiian breakfast sandwich, with Spam and avocado! Its amazing! And, my personal favorite drink is their house made lavender Italian soda with a little cream - delish! Great atmosphere, especially on sunny days when the windows are wide open, or even on stormy days, looking out at the water. Staff is super rad too!

A cozy coffee shop just a few blocks down from its better known brethren. Coffee is good and they have good breakfast menu. It is definitely a local spot, but the staff is friendly and welcoming.

The Coco Cold Brew is AMAZING. I had it once when visiting from out of town, and was so happy it was in season when I visited a year later. My husband loved it so much he got another cup even though it was the late afternoon. Often times Im disappointed when I try new things at coffee shops Im not familiar but that cold cold was definitely 5 stars. Each time staff were very friendly as well, thanks guys!

Delicious cold brew and baked goods. It was my first time there today. Ill be back

Coffee and beer. Or beer and coffee. Or both, depending on your mood and thirst level I guess. Nice little spot on the beach. Kind of liked the beer garden atmosphere. I was not feeling too adventurous so on my first visit I had the Cafe Au Lait. Excellent. On my next visit, I had a local lager. It was pretty good too.

Friendly staff and great coffee! Also a great place to grab a drink with a great variety of beer and good selection of unique wines. Cool Hawaiian influence as well. Plus water views!

I love this place on weekday morning.

Incredible layout keeping everyone safe!! Great coffee and real, real sour yogurt.

Great food and drinks (plus a great beer list).Just a wonderful place to be. The view is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend the coffee drinks. I really like the sandwiches and the from scratch cooking. The owner is around most days and would bend over backwards to make it a great experience. Dont miss the Hawaiian sandwich.

Favorite lil spot on Alki!

I happened in to Ampersand Cafe today. Great staff and the coffee is tasty too. Extra special treat was getting my puppy fix outside. What a joy for dog lovers as this is dog friendly for friendly dogs!

Exceptionally snippy gal making the coffee drinks yesterday, not only to me but to her co-worker. It was busy but nothing had happened to warrant her poor attitude. It was demeaning and left a bad first impression. We did, however, appreciate the friendliness of the girl taking the orders at the till.

Love our local coffee shop! The staff is always friendly and the food options are delicious. I love the cozy vibes of this coffee shop and that it is walking distance from my home!

Friendly staff and great coffee. They offered a great selection of summer drinks. We love to stop by in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee in their outdoor patio facing the beach.

Its a nice cafe with a view of the beach and relaxing atmosphere. The only downside is that it is only open during business hours so you cant hang out there in the evenings after work or after a weekend adventure. With its location and atmosphere youd think it would be more of an after work hangout spot than a morning coffee place.But its a great coffee shop, easily the best on Alki Beach.

Great little cafe/coffee shop on the Alki Beach stretch. Very friendly baristas and unique natural drinks with tasty snack. A really good spot to meet someone to fuel up before renting a bike for touring the beach or just watching people stroll by.

This little place had a good vibe to it! Like the variety of brews. I really enjoyed my IPA that I had!

Great coffee, tasty baked goods and a super chill beachfront feel. 40 minutes slipped by like nothing. Great way to ease into the day.

Great spot to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee.

They have a great Brussels sprouts appetizer. So good we ordered a second. Also the bartender makes a potent Cadillac Margarita. Outdoor seating was perfect for the day.

Great staff, good coffee and treats for kids. Even though they were busy, they took the time to show the kids all the options for baked goods. Great view!!

Great beach views! Big windows, outdoor seating. Great coffee, cafe fare, and a well edited selection of wine and beer. Also really lovely staff. It is everything you could want.

Nice placewhen it comes to coffeecant tell a difference between coffee at the gas station for a dollar and this coffee shop for five buckssame worm liquid donkeys pissits taste like if you washed the coffee machine with water, and then poured that water into a cup and wormed it in microwave.try it sometimes, taste great!

Great location. I wish cappuccino would have more taste of coffee and less milk.

I really liked the coffee I got there. Fair price. Cant comment on the food or specialty drinks but this is a good cup of drip coffee. I think the 20oz was like $3.00+tax. Fair price.

Polynesian coffee joint, pretty slick if you like a Hawaiian atmosphere, not often you come by places with it.

One of a kind atmosphere. Tasty coffee. Excellent views.

Amazing little coffee shop with great drinks. I got the chai latte and it was one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is also really friendly and inviting.

Great beer selection, excellent coffee, amazing friendly baristas ❤️

Ive visited before and the coffee was decent. However, this morning I ordered a Coco Cold Brew 20oz., as a barista myself I was excited to try something new. However, after spending roughly $5 I received a 20oz glass of ice with less than 5oz of coffee in it. I pour the liquid into an 8oz glass at home and it didnt even fill it! I feel extremely ripped off, I hope you enjoy the $5+ tip I just gave you for a glass of ice.

Excellent coffee, gorgeous view. Theres a bar against the window with bar seats. Great spot to enjoy the view with coffee. Cant vouch for food or pastries but both looked homemade.

Refuge from rain, wind, cold right on the beach. Really nice baristas. Theres generally some happy reggae playing and the dog friendly patio is a great place to catch up with a friend on a sunny day.

The coffee is hot the food is good the view is incredible. Seagulls flying and ferry’s passing through the water.. Highly recommend!First time here. See you here tomorrow!!

Got really bad service today. I know it is busy but that shouldn’t mean we get bad service automatically. We live down the street and like coming to the local coffee shops every now and then but don’t know if I want to come back after not feeling welcomed at all today. On the other side the coffee and food was really good.

Here youll find, past the expected regular tea and coffee, a coconut cold brew coffee, French wine, and a fresh breeze blowing through the flipped-up windows on a sunny pre-summer Saturday. Other options include an on-tap beer list with a Belgian always featuring, a well-curated bottle list, and what appears to be delicious bites/snacks.

This has been my go-to coffee shop for the past year and a half. The staff is amazingly friendly, the coffee is always delicious and the food has never been bad

Nice vibe. Good coffee. Great view!

Cute little place - perfect for doing work or hanging out. The coffee wasnt the greatest, it was wierd but maybe we just didnt know what to order.

Good view from this shop. And nice coffee they make here. Recommend for coffee and relax.

Great place for coffee in Alki.

Interesting menu, good breakfast food, good coffees and friendly staff

Perfect spot to watch the rain. They have both coffee and beer so everyone stays happy

Great tea and sandwiches. Beautiful views. Dog and kid friendly.

Delicious, delicate portion with excellent coffee. The in house baked begets are phenomenal!Not to mention the view of the sound.

Simply the best! Alki wouldnt be the same without it.

This is legitimately my favorite coffee shop in Seattle. Their beer selection is unique, the coffee is delicious, and those itty bitty cinnamon rolls taste like they were made from pure distilled happiness.

I miss coming here more often! I was a once a weeker, now once a monther. This is such a cozy spot to sit in the morning on rainy winter days. The staff is always so nice. Good coffee & tea too. 😁

Great stop if youre walking on the beach or it rains. Good coffee

Great cafe along the water, tons of options!

Their signature coffee drinks are amazing and appropriately sized for the price. Atmosphere is cozy.

First visit after a bracing walk along Alki in a gale. A veritable oasis. Great cappuccino, Americano and fig scone. Well be back!

Great coffee but a little slow.

Pesto mozzarella: best paninis on Alki. Great place to relax on a sunny day

Great coffee, great views, friendly staff, creative menu. Great for people/dog watching. Do yourself a favor and get the breakfast sandwich with egg, spam, avocado, and this phenomenal teriyaki nori sauce on a Hawaiian roll. To die for.

Always pick up here when down at the beach

A little pricey, but a cool place overall. A big selection and delicious coffee will bring me back.

Nice Hawaiian inspired Cafe near the waterfront with a beautiful patio. The coffee and sandwiches were delicious.

Cute little coffee shop on the beach. Small and perfect for simple mornings drinking coffee or a mimosa!

Cute, little local shop with lots of character and characters. This is a great neighborhood hangout.

Good coffee and great food!

Great latte and great vibe. Doesnt get more neighborhood shop than this.

Quaint and cozy. A nice place to meet friends for coffee on a rainy day

Great coffee. Good little bfast sandwich! Love the esthetic.

Cute little nook to grab a coffee and a quick breakfast. Not too expensive either

Awesome service and decent food. Beautiful views and a really nice atmosphere.

Comfortable place for quick start at alki beach especially in cold weather

Cozy little cafe with really nice coffee and a great beer selection. great prices and selection especially for alki beach which is always overpriced.

Here on vacation, and have had coffee here three times now and every time ito was delightful. Great vibe and view.

Friendly, cozy location on Alki next to West Seattle Brewing. Great outlook(well, grey today), good coffee and homemade baked goods and savory items.

Fantastic location, friendly staff. One of the few remaining coffeehouses with a view!
