Woodland Coffee is excellent. I stopped by for a coffee and my latte was very well made. Service was also genuine and warm, I had a great experience. I definitely appreciate that it opens early in the morning.There are plenty of seats inside the shop and a small but cute patio outside.

Quaint and a quiet place. Good coffee, good ambience. Not too crowded. Their WiFi wasn’t working when I visited - so its worth checking ahead of time.

Great baristas. Comfortable atmosphere. Nice indoor as well as outdoor area. They have a fine selection of vegan, gluten-free and regular treats/baked goods. The coffee and tea they serve is delicious! Finally a place that had descent drip. Good hours too 7am-5pm.

Decent cafe, but the staff wasnt the most professional. We were deciding what we wanted and someone else entered the store and the barista asked us to get out of line until we were ready. Then the other barista (who was likely in his 20s) called my husband bud. This isnt anything too serious, but it helps convey the general lack of warmth and intimacy I felt in this cafe. It felt professional with everyone there working on laptops or having meetings. The coffee was decent - we ordered an Eggnog Cafe (3/5) and Cappuccino (3/5). Depending where you live, the location is out of the way so I wouldnt recommend going here unless its the closest or most convenient for you.

Amazingly cute place, with flowers and well designed. Good tasting coffee, and of course, oatmilk. Loved it. Nicely designed outside area too. And the barista is the owner of this shop, and she is very nice too. Anyways, 5 ⭐️ place easily.

This is my go-to coffee shop.Its family owned and it shows in all the best ways. The folks are sweet as pie and the coffee is perfection. This is one of the few places Ill go and roll the dice with the house special. Their white chocolate cayenne latte surprise me changed me as a human being. Though my true favorite is simply their cold brew. Its brisk, nutty, and mean, just the thing for a long work day!If you go for food, try their baked goods or even a pre-made breakfast sandwich (packed with fresh mozz and Mama Lils) that theyll toast for you on the spot. The food all comes from local partners. Even their day-old discounted baked goods bang.The whole spot is dog friendly and the baristas are quick to welcome our fur family with treats and pats. But the outdoor patio is the perfect shady, cool spot to hang with pups or camp out and work.Punch a frequent buyer card, youll be back.

Some of the best coffee in Seattle and definitely the best baristas. They even have maple syrup as a flavor option which I (as an East Coast transplant) really enjoy. Get the white chocolate maple mocha! (and always tip your baristas!!!!!) ☕ ❤

I love Woodland Coffee. Friendly baristas, cozy environment, good music. Coffee is great, and the sweet treats and sandwiches always hit the spot. There’s a relaxing patio outside for the nice days, too.

Review №17

Reopening seating indoors without so much as providing good circulation for the safety of your staff (who couldnt possibly be fully vaccinated until nearly mid May) or your customers shows just how little the owners care about anything except lining their pockets. No one is going to become a permanent regular because you have indoor seating, but Im not the first nor will I be there last customer you permanently lost because of it.

Excellent coffee with many milk alternatives, if youre into that (hemp, almond, oat, etc). These guys know how to make good espresso. East to find, easy to park. They have outside seating and a cozy space indoors!They serve Olympia Coffee Roasters espresso, which seems to be a rare find in Seattle.

My clients chose this coffee shop because it was very close to a birthday party they were attending later in the evening and Im so glad they did. Reid was absolutely the sweetest, kindest most hospitable guy who was just a pure joy. We sat in there for two hours having a meeting at the end of which my client just sat back with her arms crossed and said, I really love this place and hes so nice too. Thanks a million Reid, youre awesome.

I absolutely love this place, and can’t wait to hang out there post COVID. Vanessa and her entire team are so warm and welcoming, the coffee is always top-notch, and the playlist is always so perfect for the day/weather/vibe. The experience from the moment I walk in until the cup is empty is always five stars. So many hugs coming their way when it’s safe to do so!!

My favorite coffee shop in Ballard! I live across 15th with at least three coffee shops that are more convenient for me, but make it a point to walk my butt to Woodland for my fix. Woman-owned and operated, the staff are chill, accommodating and genuine. (To the review below — yes, they might call you bud. On what planet is that offensive *eye roll*) I love knowing that Im giving my $ to a business that cares for their community, too. Oh and they serve quality coffee, food takeaways, and the space is very cute and welcoming if you feel like relaxing.

The drip coffee is excellent and strong. I would compare it to any boutique roasterie. The latte with oat milk is smooth. The shop was full of people working on laptops or relaxing, it was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon. Outdoor seating is available in a small cozy alley.

This is such a cute place. Dog friendly, which is wonderful for dogless people like me, I get to see so many adorable puppers! The coffee is great too and they have a wide selection of milk alternatives, which makes my tummy happy. Also one of a handful of places that opens at 6am, so grateful for that!

Review №44

We really wanted to like this place! The decor is nice and its a good location close to our home... but its a shame they have great beans they dont brew well and their chai lattes arent great. They have good breakfast sandwiches... that are served cold in the middle. The staff is nice... but it misses all of the marks for what I look for in a coffee shop.

Review №45

Ive had the drip coffee, cold brew and an oat milk latte here and they are all great. All the baristas Ive encountered have been extremely friendly and helpful. But good lord, the chairs here are wildly uncomfortable. If you can sit in the 4 cushioned chairs in the back corner then its fine but any of the other metal chairs around the rest of the tables are actually un-sit-able for any extended period of time. Will return for to go coffee or during non-peak hours for a comfy chair spot.

Review №49

The blond girl ringing me up demanded to know in a very condescending manner why I ordered decaf. I love coffee but too much caffeine makes me anxious, tried politely explaining this (even though I found it extremely odd to have to justify my preference for ordering decaf at noon) yet she continued questioning in an extremely belittling tone. I go out for coffee every day and never had an experience like this ever. She repeatedly, “just found it weird I’m ordering decaf.”Just found the whole interaction bizzare, embarrassing, intrusive and off-putting.

This place does not offer any unsweetened milk alternatives for lattes. When asked if they may consider offering unsweetened almond milk as an alternative, the owner said I dont carry it because I dont like it. We were stunned. Never mind what the customer would like, just pick from what the owner likes. Tough way to run a business. We wont be going back.

I like this place. It meets my criteria for almost everything. It is quiet, relaxed, comfortable, and the internet is fairly speedy. They make a pretty decent Matcha latte and the food options are acceptable. Great spot to meet someone for a work date or to spend some time catching up on some assignments that you have been putting off. Parking is tricky in this neighborhood so plan ahead or use public transportation.Also, the story of their name is quite touching and nice. I like a reason behind things from time to time.

Review №85

This use to be my favorite coffeeshop in Seattle. I have known the owner, Vanessa for a while and always enjoyed her company. As well, I liked all the previous baristas who use to work here and thought they were very friendly and always made good drinks. However, there is a new barista working here and she is utterly hostile and condescending. The moment I walked in to order my drink she started snapping at me and acting in a very passive aggressive manner. Im feeling she is discriminating me possibly because of my gender or maybe she hates that I was friends with the other baristas here. I notice she had a Girl Power shirt and seems to have a gender bias about her. Obviously, she did not outright insult me for being who I am. However, being a minority (Jewish), I have felt my share of discrimination in the past, so I tend to have a good feeling when someone is being discriminating towards me. I felt like she hated me. She scolded me for saying the coffee bean selection was a bit limited today, was extremely rude when I tried asking her questions and gave me a look like she wanted to stab me or something.

When you walk inside, youre greeted with an open floor layout, high ceilings, bright & fresh-looking paint, an above-average amount of natural light, and generally pleasant decor.Theres a large, family-size table that can be shared with others, and there are a bunch of large, wooden, high-top tables. A couple of lower tables adorn the front side of the shop. Theres a small, outdoor patio with a variety of planters along a nice, wooden fence.Coffee served here is from Olympia Coffee Roasting Company, which can be on the bitter / acidic side. I got a 12 oz. Americano and doused it in half & half, as I usually do, which made it somewhat bearable.Along the coffee bar, theres an all-glass container with a few bakery selections: a cinnamon bun with cream cheese on top, croissants, carrot bread, ham & cheese scones, muffins, and cookies. I had a croissant, which was exactly what I expected it to be ... light, buttery, and tasty.Service was moderately friendly, but not what Id consider outgoing either, perhaps because Im not a recognizable regular.The wifi password is clearly taped onto the register for patrons to consume. This isnt always done at coffee shops, and its annoying to have to ask for it. I lucked out and had Xfinity wifi immediately available to me close by.All in all, this is a top-notch location. Im rating it four stars for being an excellent coffee shop. The coffee they serve could be a bit smoother; perhaps from a different coffee roaster, or a different product from Olympia Coffee.
