A local gem. I’ve never had a bad experience at this cafe, absolutely love their cowboy breakfast sandwich and their toasted buns. Anytime I get an iced mocha from here it makes my day. Kyle helped me and my dad today and he is exceptionally lovely. His energy brightens the whole place. Thank you Kyle!

Its very adorable with a small city vibe. You go inside and forget where you are in South Park. Friendly staff and the cappuccino is amazing perfect foam. Plus theres free parking.

First time trying this coffee shop.Friendly staff and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a loud shop but I do not mind. i loved their playlist and the laughter of the people in the place, only commenting if you’re looking for a quiet place.I would have given it a 5 but I ordered a chai latte with Oat Milk and it Tasted a bit like Oat milk with a splash of chai, I did ask them to remake it but tasted the same. I will go back and give it another shot because i really did enjoy the environment and will update if my opinion changes.

Great coffee using cafe Umbria beans. Sometimes they have fresh baked goods in the morning. My favorite is the pumpkin muffin. Banana bread is good but little too sweet for me.

First time patron, stopping through for business. Line was out the door. Greeted by cashier and barista, amazing customer service. Other patrons at tables were friendly. Back door garage was open while it rained outside, pleasant temperature with garage open, and great airflow. Great selection of alternative milk.

A hidden jewel in South park! Friendly barista, ample of tables for people looking for a quiet study spot. Theres apparently extra workspace on the second floor but didnt get a chance to check it out. They even had a kids space under the stairs! Decent coffee supplied by Caffe Umbria! All coffee are served with double shots of espresso which is a plus! Wifi available for those looking to study/work there :)

The food is excellent, coffee and London fog are some of the best Ive had. Local shop with wonderful employees. They support lots of amazing local artists with prices from $2-$250 (post cards 3 for $5 in pic). Incredible covid precautions, be mindful of not congregating near the counter while you wait :)

Small, homey coffee shop. Offers non-dairy milk products and is considerate of all eating choices. My co workers and I frequently go here to get away for a few moments and enjoy a coffee. They have fresh baked goods and great tea options as well! I highly recommend.

The people who work here are sweet, genuinely friendly people. Im still new to South Park and these folks really made me feel welcome. They are truly dedicated to enriching their community; a real pillar of South Park culture! They make great espresso. They even sell cartons of oatly!

Review №26

Horrible service. I went there with my little brother a while back and the lady at the register was very rude. When we finally got our coffee they threw the lids on the counter and told us to put them on. Also, the coffee wasn’t that good either and was spilling out of the cup. Don’t think I’ll be going back.

Amazing independent coffee shop right in the middle of the South Park neighborhood. Really great coffee, sweet and savory pastries/food with a really cool, fun, non-corporate vibe. A really amazing place where once youre a regular the people behind the calendar remember your name, face, and drink.Its a throwback to the way a coffee shop should be, nice music, the din of conversation good drinks and friendly faces.

Review №35

So I had this habit that every morning, I always go to this coffee shop and have my morning coffee. So if you’re asking why I always go here every day, just because their coffee is from the best local coffee beans in the city and is very aromatic and delicious. You will always crave for it.

Hands down the best coffee Ive ever had in Seattle. The ambience is great with even a section for children to play in! The music isnt too loud either (which is a constant annoyance I find at lots of cafes in the city). And to top it all off, on nice days, they pull the rolling door up and its a beautiful open area in the back of the cafe. PHENOMENAL SPOT!!!

Stop by when I was doing some work in the neighborhood and the vibe is super great and the coffee is so good. Really this place is phenomenal. Loved my experience here. Also the barista was super friendly, which isn’t usually the case at coffee shops this cool. If you find yourself in South Park go here. It’s awesome.

I no sooner walked in then I walked out ! The place looks dirty, it had a funny smell I looked down and there is a very large wet dog being held by its leaves by the owner the animal had no tagging on it to show that it was a service animal so I cant imagine why a place would allow that. The menu was fairly small and if you want a blended coffee I suggest you go somewhere else because thats not even on the menu!

For 4.9 stars, I was expecting excellent coffee but mine tasted mediocre. Maybe other people had a better coffee experience. The White Privilege mocha was an odd name choice. Buying a $5 coffee is the epitome of privilege. Its like buying paper to save the forest. Just my 2 cents.

Finally a wonderful, adorable, hip coffee shop in South Park! A great place to grab to go or to stay and work from your laptop. Very well set up! Friendly consistent customer service by all who work there, which is different from some of the other shops in the area that can make a customer feel unwanted or are at the other extreme where you feel like you just walked into someone’s house kinda style. Also they are friendly to my dog and that is much appreciated!

Review №72

A little piece of heaven tucked into the heart of Southpark, this coffee shop offers a variety of drinks and pastries in an intimate setting, is family friendly, and a great place to relax while the world passes by. Yesterday, my daughter and I ventured in for the first time, spent a couple of hours sipping our drinks, and played several of the games they have available for patrons... Suffice it to say that will be the first of many visits to come.

Always nice and friendly even just as they open, which is earlier than other places. Coffee tends darker and less fruity than other hip spots. Food options nice and varied, Im happy they are here.

This place has AMAZING customer service. I was walking by and stopped in to grab some decaf coffee right at 1800. The barista informed me that they had just closed but then asked what I wanted. He gladly made me a drink even after just closing. I was very appreciative of his willingness to make me coffee after closing. While he was making the coffee we talked a bit. He was friendly and pleasant to talk to. The overall vibe to the coffee place was warm and welcoming. The americano I had was delicious. As I was leaving the man offered me one of the days cinnamon rolls. I gladly took it, and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back there for my coffee needs

Tim & Cote are South Park neighborhood business owners that give social justice awareness to you everyday cup of coffee. Supporting this coffee that’s sourced, roasted and served in Seattle’s only neighborhood without a Starbucks makes this place THE shop to go out of your way to stop and not only enjoy the coffee, but the neighborhood and the people. Cheers!
