    Night Heron in venue downstairs
    Steven P.

    Dropped in to Baba Yaga in Pioneer Square one night to see Moon Panda and Night Heron. The music venue is in the basement. There's an upstairs seating area with couches, a television, and a game of Jenga, which I made use of while waiting for the show to start. I want you to know dear reader that it was my first time to play Jenga, at age 46, and while I assumed you laid down a wood plank, wait for your opponents to do the same until you have a tower, that is NOT how you play Jenga. That was endearing to my date though, who laughed and acted like I was very cute for doing so. I did enjoy a Maiz Macabre cocktail while I was waiting, and it was spectacular, and my bartenders were perfect-great service. In the end, Moon Panda canceled, but the opener, Night Heron out of Portland, stole the show and entertained us all. Baba Yaga will be on my list of places to return for a great spot to chill, see shows, and have a good cocktail or beer.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Baba Yaga! I was expecting something akin to The Crocodile when I heard there was a place to hang apart from the concert area, but rather what you walk into feels like a legit restaurant. The upstairs restaurant and bar is quite spacious, has a cool style, a lot of seating. They serve food, which are variations on simple Mexican food (tacos, quesadillas, burritos) with several meat choices, they have a few house specialty cocktails listed but it seems like they could make any drink. The service was perfunctory, like attentive, nice, and nonchalant. I ordered a quesadilla with al pastor. I had this funny association with the meat, thinking it reminded me just a bit of manwich, but in a really satisfying way. It was pretty stuffed and a lot of food. The concert space is downstairs and it looks pretty cool down there. There is a fairly large space for merch, there's a bar, and then the concert area is a little small. The whole space reminded me a bit of the Sunset Tavern (if the bar was also in the concert area). Despite that, the show I went to felt fairly packed, but I didn't feel squished by any means, and had a good spot along a counter for drinks that I could lean on. The sound was super loud, but I tend to wear earplugs at concerts these days so it was fine. There was this really cool feature down there too, which was a large glowing tree sprawling the wall up onto the ceiling. Normal issues of the city apply here. I would never try to park down here on the weekend, so I bussed it there and walked and scooted home. I also know that it's a part of the city that feels a bit unsafe to some people. I didn't notice anything to disconcerting but I know we all have our different experiences and comfort levels. Overall, a very fun space to see a show and hang before. If someone you like is playing here, you should definitely check it out!

    Great service and delicious Margaritas! We did step up to the Reposado tequila which made them extra tasty and a bit more $$, but definitely worth it! The tacos were okay but the mullitas (sp?) were delicious! Stopped in after a Mariners afternoon game and easily beat the crowd. Short walk back to the stadium to retrieve the car from the parking garage. Good alternative to the stadium food and crowd. Enjoy!

    I've been to Baba Yaga a few times and I'm consistently impressed! Very cool space, cool moody lighting, and nice staff. Lots of different spaces to hang out, soft seating to chill and tables/bar space to eat at. Breakfast burritos are fabulous, so stop in in the morning if you have the chance too. Loved that they let my dog pop in with me for a little bit! Will always pop back in when I'm in Seattle!

    Food was good, but a little bland. The server was present and helpful. And the atmosphere was charming. It was a little expensive for a burrito with no sides, and an NA beer. But it was a pretty great experience.

    I was so happy to discover Baba Yaga today in Pioneer Square. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor. Our server was a gem, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is super neat.

On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

The grilled cheese was made to perfection the bread was fresh, thick, and delicious, and it was packed with cheese! The tomato soup was also delicious with a unique flavor. My only (very minor) complaint is that it was served in a cup, which made it hard to dip the grilled cheese. A bowl would've been much better for dipping! Overall, this café was a quiet, cozy spot with pleasant employees. I'd definitely visit again.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.

They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average.

As we entered, my daughters were excitedly yelling "Grinch." Throughout my order, the employee maintained a visibly displeased demeanor. Once I had paid, she rudely stated that "they need to keep it down because people are working." If a business does not welcome excited children, perhaps it is better suited as an adult-only space. When a child is not causing harm to themselves or others, there is no reason to ask them to be silent. It is especially important to recognize that children on the spectrum express themselves differently, and they deserve to be able to exist freely without judgment.

We tried the latte flight, which comes with four adventurous, creative flavors--including a miso latte! Overall, they were a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but very fun to try. The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside.

However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
