Its got that old seattle vibe, yknow. Coffee is great. Theres lots of local artists and makers showcased.Dog friendly!!!

Nice batista and good coffee. I really liked that it wasnt crowded

Great coffee! So sweet, and a super cute shop- cant wait to go back! Dog friendly + dairy alternative milks (including oat!) 🐶💖

Very friendly and good coffee 😌

Amazing coffee shop. Great coffee options! Lots of room for kids to play. Good place to sit and ready and have time to self. Prices match budget. Happy happy!

Great place to meet friends for coffee and food and puppies.

Wonderful coffee and cozy atmosphere.

This place is awesome! And you can snuggle with the pup while you wait for your order :)

Shared a lavender Italian soda and a ginger lemon tea with friends at the craft Mondays tonight for the first time. What a great atmosphere! Fun and friendly staff and owner. Great community vibe. Can’t wait to become a regular!

Great neighborhood coffee place! Proprietor is fantastic and the drinks are lovely. Tons of locals around with their pups. This place gives me the warm fuzzy happy Saturday coffee shop feels.

Just left here the barista was SO friendly which was the first thing I appreciated. I ordered a lavender latte, the last several I’ve gotten had been pretty bad at other places so I wanted to give it one more shot, it was the best I’ve had yet. Plus they had 3 adorable dogs when we went in so this place wins best coffee shop in Seattle :)

Amazing cold brew! so smooth and great cocoa flavors.

Oh my gosh a little hole-in-the-wall you dont want to miss! Very friendly service and the bakery items are wonderful. They also will let you bring your dog there just outrageous and mellow if you want to place to go with a friend and sit in chat this is the place

Such a lovely shop. Warm, comfortable, and inviting. The owner is very friendly and is a great conversationalist. Dog friendly. Great selection of dairy free alternatives.

One of my favorite places to visit! Mingus the dog is my buddy, as is his best friend, Bella. :) The owner, Prashanthi, is the best. The coffee and beer are both spectacular.

I like this cafe -- small and generally good food and drinks.

I was excited to try Makeda & Mingus because of the good reviews, but it was a letdown for me. I was searching for a new neighborhood coffee shop. I wanted to quickly grab my coffee and start reading. First, I waited forever despite having only one person in front of me. As I waited, I looked for a seat, but it wasn’t that inviting. It was very small, stuffy and a mishmash of aging cushions and kid’s toys. When I finally ordered, the barista wasn’t very welcoming and curtly took my order. “Aw man, she must be having a bad day,” I thought, but the drink didn’t make it any better—now, I don’t think my standards are high when it comes to coffee, so for me to notice anything means it must have been really off. When I finally got my cappuccino it was completely burnt, had no foam and was undrinkable. One thing after another had piled on and I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted to leave. I wish it would have worked out because the neighborhood seems to love it, but it wasn’t the place for me. To be more positive and helpful towards whomever reads this (and is likely looking for a coffee shop) Fresh Flours ended up being my choice.

Cute neighborhood place. Comfy couches if you want to stay a while. Also a couple of outdoor cafe tables for enjoying coffee during nice weather.

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop. Good coffee, good treats, and they let me bring my pup in and treated him very well.

This is my FAVORITE neighborhood shop. In fact, I walk past four other coffee shops from my house to come here: where everybody knows my name, and my [cats] names and my moms name! This is a true community home-base. Its cozy and comfortable and the coffee is made with experience and research and love! Sooo delicious!Keep an eye on special events (including crafting fun) and special menu items (home-made Indian dinner every Thursday). I appreciate the high-quality cafe experience and am hooked by the loving family spirit I feel every time I walk in the door. Check it out...then stay a while and chat!

A cute place to stop in for a quick coffee or to camp out for a few hours. There are many outlets and couches to lounge in or tables to work at. The regulars seem really nice and inviting and included me in their conversations.

Pashanti, the proprietor is lovely and there is such a friendly vibe here. Great coffee and Macrina pastry. Yum! Last time we ended up sharing a tableand having fun getting to know someone new. Another time when it was less busy, we sat down and started in a conversation with Pashanti and whoever else was in there.

Some of the most amazing coffee I have put in my mouth. I walked in on a whim - so pleasantly surprised. The coffee is bold with a smooth, mellow finish. Absolutely relish!

This is my favorite coffee and hang out spot in the greater Greenwood/Ballard/Phinney area. The coffee is always on point, and the specialty drinks (like the delicious golden milk latte with coconut milk omg) are delicious. All the food Ive tried, like the breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and night where Indian dinner is served, have been super tasty. Its not just a coffee shop, its a community where Ive seen many regulars return and befriend each other. The owner and baristas are amazingly friendly, and there are always cool events happening like craft night or art walks. Theres also beer and fun local art and crafts, AND PUPPIES! Mingus, the owners dog (or is he the owner? Who knows!) is a sweetie and lots of people bring their pups in and hang out. This place is the be!

Great neighborhood coffee shop! Perfect if you need a place to study & wanna bring your dog. They serve an amazing chai ☕

Killer cappuccino! Welcoming staff. Lots of cute pups visit here too.

Love the ambience and concept of Makeda, as it encompasses a variety of vibes. Your friendly, neighborhood coffee shop that hosts multiple events of the arts throughout the year. Something for everyone!!

Its interesting to me reading the couple of reviews from 7 months ago saying that they had an experience with a curt barista. That could have been the barista that I knew that was let go. :-) look, if you try something once theres going to be a 50-50 chance that its going to be a bad experience. But the more often you try it, the more youre going to be able to tell whether or not it is actually worth it. Were so quick to judge in this world especially on social media. This is an awesome place! The owner is great, its locally owned, and the coffee and tea is really good. If you dont like funky little Seattle coffee houses then feel free going back to your more trendy Starbucks places. But remember, just because you have a bad experience doesnt mean thats the standard of the establishment and if you read good reviews otherwise, maybe your comments needs need to be given directly to the owner so they can do something about it. Thanks!

I like this coffee shop. I had the best mocha Ive ever had in my life (made by their awesome barista, Dismas). The quaint and rustic little shop is relaxing, and non imposing. Its dog friendly, and just a cool place to spend an hour.

Unusually delicious ordinary soy milk latte. Friendly, some tables and benches. Very very intimateneighborhood feel to it. It will be my go-to place for coffee when I am in Seattle.

This is a great local coffee shop with lots of regulars. Its a very friendly atmosphere thats kid friendly and dog friendly. Great all around place to read, work, or talk to people in the neighborhood.

Cute friendly dog and friendly barista. Good hot chocolate. Lots of outlets though seating is a bit limited.

Nice, community oriented coffee shop. The people were friendly, the coffee was quite good. Definitely worth returning to.

I love hanging out at this local coffee shop. The people, both staff and regulars are funny and have forged a tight knit community amongst an ever changing neighborhood. Check this place out!

Some of the very best coffee in town served in an amazingly friendly neighborhood coffee shop. Dog friendly (as long as your dog is friendly) and also one of the places to find the delicious Rooftop Brewing beer.

Cozy and quirky coffee shop. Great drinks.

Absolutely love this place with local yummy sweets and treats.

Dog friendly, great coffee, not a lot of space to sit with more than 2 people. Great vibes and natural lighting, just not good for groups.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Seattle. I dont even live in Greenwood anymore, and I still stop by Makeda. We buy drinks and the Na Pali whole beans. The staff is always friendly, and so are the other customers. Downside=theyve been out of chocolate twice and ice once in the times Ive been there :(

Really nice coffee. Suitably funky atmosphere, with a sweet barista at 9 on a Sunday night. Music not objectionable.

While the coffee is good, the shop it self is... borderline filthy. Sitting at the counter I could always see a huge pile of what looked like garbage, stacked waist high completely blocking the back entrance.

They pull amazing coffee, and the environment is perfect for studying/working. Theyre so into community too!!

Friendly people, good coffee and conversation. Best local coffee shop!

Great place! Cute and cosy atmosphere and good coffee.

One of the best coffee spots in Seattle. Meticulous baristas, amazing authentic Indian food every Thursday night, beautiful live jazz on Tuesdays, craft night get togethers, lively discussions on a wide variety of topics, henna nights, backgammon, beer, wine, and a dollop of sass alongside it all.

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop - great service, great conversations w/ other patrons, cute dogs to pet, family friendly, unpretentious, rarely see an annoying hipster and never a snotty barista!

Its okay not the best and not the worstBut for the record BETTER THAN STARBUCKS

This is my favorite neighborhood coffee house in Seattle. Great coffee and Baristas and the owner is hot hot hot!

Good corner coffee shop, very dog friendly.

This is my secret freelance office. Friendly people, good coffee, dog-friendly, tasty Indian food on Thursdays.

Great coffee with a friendly atmosphere.

Cold beer, super nice owners!

Great cozy vibe, and tasty local treats!

My absolute fave locals spot

In the world of coffee you would think that we would have some idea of treating everyone with respect, but unfortunately this café falls very short on treating people with respect. Never will I recommend this shop!! Everyone that walks through the door customer, homeless person, or sales people should be looked at as a customer. Your true colors have been revealed and your bigotry is now known.

Great coffee, great people.

Good coffee, super nice staff.
