Love CU Urban Market & Cafe. Consistently great and quality drinks. The first visit here I tried the purple sweet potato latte as it had no coffee and was intriguing. It was delicious and so unique however I'm sad now I was told it was discontinued my latest visit 2 days ago. The Matcha series is great! I am in love with their Banana Matcha which has real banana in the drinks and sooo delicious. Great matcha too! The cafe is a market as well that sells even Macrina Bakery pastries. They sell chips, bagels, tiramisu, and much much more. The service is always friendly and efficient. CU Urban Market & Cafe is in downtown Seattle but I never struggle finding parking nearby! Inside is bright and cute, but not much seating so easy to take to go. Definitely recommend and will return. I highly recommend the Banana Matcha! read more

I got their Ferrero Rocher Iced Latte! It was the bomb! Really enjoyed and got all the flavors and perfect amount of sweetness!

Pretty sweet spot, serving as a small market with snacks, drinks, pastries, and more filling sandwiches like paninis. Inside is more market-like than cafe-like, but there's some seating. Was carrying some hot takeout so I placed an online order hoping to grab and go but when I went to pick up, they had missed my order. They then began to make the order. Not a big deal, but their online ordering (via Toast) is slightly marked up. Black Sesame Cream Coffee - amazing drink with a great blend of black sesame cream, coffee, and black sesame latte at the bottom. Drink was nutty, toasty, and earthy. One of the more well rounded black sesame drinks around, at a solid price. Purple Sweet Potato Latte - went all in and big here with the 32oz. There's something lacking with this drink, but I can't quite pinpoint it. Tastes like too much purple sweet potato and no latte. While the lattes here are not coffee based, the drink balance is off. I feel this would do wonderful with coffee or more milk, because the sweet potato taste was almost too artificial and chalky. read more

The menu has so many tempting options. It was hard to land on just one drink but I'm glad I tried the sesame latte, add one shot of espresso, make it large, and substitute Soy. It was great, very rich in flavor. There was quite a wait and it's pretty pricey drink at $10. read more

The black sesame cream coffee was divine and unique very nutty, slightly gritty, bitter (in a good, authentic sesame way), and balanced out beautifully with the sweet cream on top. That creamy finish softened the roast and made every sip smooth and indulgent. I savor every sip! My girlfriend ordered the Japanese purple sweet potato drink and wow it was sweet, nutty, and it truly tasted like real sweet potato. Not artificial, not overly sugary just rich and comforting. The guys were super nice and patient as we reviewed the menu and ask questions. They are definitely friendlier than others. The ambience is simple and cozy with only about four seats, so it's ideal for grab-and-go rather than lingering. Lots of options for pastry and sandwiches. Small space, big flavors. This is the best way to end a Seattle coffee crawl with a bang. Highly recommended! read more

Located right in downtown with plenty of street parking as well as nearby parking garages. When you enter, it gives that grab and go vibe similar to what you'd want to experience right before work. The decor was modern and they had so many different options of local pastries and desserts amongst other snacks and to go drinks. The staff were friendly and my drink came out very quickly. I got an Iced Jeju Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk and it had a nice roast flavor to it and had a bit of that expected texture from both the Hojicha but also bein paired with the Oat Milk. It comes unsweetened, which is perfect for me, and definitely satisfied the craving for some good Hojicha. read more

I visited Seattle over the weekend and during that short visit, I came here twice because it was sooooo good! I personally love plain yogurt smoothie but this place had the best one I've had in so long! But besides that, other drinks like matcha coffee latte, pineapple & peach yogurt smoothie and chestnut latte were all so yummy. The service providers were so welcoming and kind, making the ordering process smooth. The ambiance of the cafe was not the typically type of cafe but had multiple choices of bread, macaroons, sandwiches, snacks such as chips, chocolate and nuts! The sitting was very limited but very cutesy!! If I visit Seattle again, I will definitely come here again. read more

Nice market addition to downtown. Lots of grab and go sandwiches and salads from other local businesses in Seattle along with bakes by Macadons and Mitten Sweets. Along with bags of snack options. Probably one of the most extensive in house beverage lists I've seen. Lots of different coffee and tea options along with smoothies. like that they offer all fruit as well as yogurt smoothies. I'm an all fruit person was going to try the blue berry pomegranate one the day I went but they were out so I had a mango one was delicious. The staff is always friendly I've been there to grab a sandwich before. Space is clean and easy to maneuver. Small area to sit along the wall but really meant more for grab and go. read more

I ordered coffee, left a good tip, and everything was fine at first. I stepped outside for a moment to put the coffee in my car and came back to use the restroom. I was told the restroom is for customers only. I showed my coffee and explained that I had just purchased it, but was told that since I stepped outside, I had to buy something again to use the restroom.

Ordered a mocha with no ice. The cup came in barely at 50% point or less. I asked why it was so low, and apparently the rest of it is meant to be filled with ice. I asked if it could just be topped up with cold milk. But apparently that's "too many ingredients", and was told I'd have to pay extra. Seriously nickle and diming over like 5oz of milk. Next door Baxter Frost, Storyville, Starbucks and pretty much many places happily give you a full glass coz when you're already paying like $6+ for a drink, they don't go petty over a little bit of milk. Had to get a refund since the lady hard refused changes and needed extra for anything. read more

Sad to say, giving this place very little stars due to no stock of items. My nephew really wanted a mango smoothie here and after several failed attempts, it saddens me to leave a low review. Attempt 1: After a day of exploring under the Seattle heat on a Saturday evening, we checked the store hours online and noted it said closes at 9pm. Sweet. On our stroll back to the hotel, it was around 6:10ish and the door was propped open so we peaked our heads in only to hear, we're closed. There was a big parade that day so maybe that's why they decided to close early; to avoid traffic/chaos. Ok, understandable I guess Attempt 2: After joining a tour which ended late afternoon Sunday, my nephew and I popped in before dinner to hopefully pick up this sweet beverage to cool ourselves down. We walk in, placed our order, only to hear the barista say " we don't have mangos in stock. We're out of X, Y, and Z". Maybe we came too late and they ran out....? Attempt 3: We noted the store hours are 6am-9pm so our final attempt was Monday morning at 7am--who orders mango smoothies at 7am right? We walk in and the barista said "I remember you guys came in yesterday but we're still out of stock, maybe try later in the afternoon?" We were leaving that morning.... The servers were friendly but my nephew just wanted a mango smoothie so I was more sad for him x 3. Maybe one day they'll have it in stock.... A kid can dream. read more

Was walking by yesterday when I needed an afternoon iced coffee. We were just close to it so decided to give it a try. The service is amazing, the cashier was very patient and friendly, answered all my questions. We decided to go with the peanut butter cream iced coffee and oh my god, it was amazing. I would say one of the top iced coffee that I have ever had with actual chunks of peanut butter if you'd like an energizing afternoon coffee with protein. I will go back right now in fact to try something else. Overall the service was amazing and the atmosphere was very relaxing and stress free which is not usual in coffee shops.

Ordered the Lotus Biscoff Cream Coffee and some cookies they had from Gelatiamo. The cream on the coffee was fresh made but I only waited around 5 minutes for it. The person that took my order was super friendly and answered lots of my questions. And the coffee was delicious and not too sweet. Most things in the store are from local bakeries in the area including bagels, Asian bakery items, macarons, and muffins. They also had ready to go lunch items like sandwiches and salads and more common grocery store snacks. Inside is nice and the seating area is pretty small, mostly seems for waiting for your order.

But this place seemed cleaner to me, so I had an elevated level of comfort. I doubt that I'll be walking by, but I have to say, with their later hours, if I need a gallon of water or some wine, I may make the trek up to them because they had the basics at some decent prices.

Best Place To Take Your Sheltered Kid…read more Want to teach your kid the value of not doing drugs? Take them to this 7-11. IF you are able to make it through the sea of cracked out zombies guarding the "entrance" (aka a boarded up, make-shift door) you will then have to negotiate with 4-5 of them to get in. Upon entering the boarded up convenience store, you must dodge the man who is riding a lime bike out of the store at 10mph, and be careful not to touch shoulders with the 20-30 drugged up homeless people in there. No shoes, curled up behind the isles on the floor, screaming to themselves, screaming to no one, screaming at me, screaming at my son. Then you attempt to find water (which they had approx 2 bottles of). You grab the water while holding onto your child out of fear he will be grabbed and traded for a hit of crack. Head to the register and play "guess where the line is" because there is no line. You gotta time it like a game of Double Dutch and jump in when you see an opportunity. Too soon? Dude with dirty underwear on....his.....head ... yells while spewing saliva all over your face. Too late? Woman with one breast all the way out of her shirt will cuss you out, but not really cuss you out because she's actually violently talking about pepperoni pizza. You get to the cashier- he's super nice. Almost wondered if he was on a different type of drugs than his customers. How does he do it? Great guy. So now you have the water, forget the gum and banana you also wanted, you must focus on getting out unharmed. You see the door, it's a straight shot if you don't mind stepping over the large bag of clothes and the unleashed Chihuahua. If you veer off course and try to slide by the soda fountain instead, one of the customers will mistakenly assume you are trying to come after THEIR big gulp, which is a big no no at this store. You make it to the door only to NOT be able to open it because it is being blocked by what I could only assume was someone either sleeping or..... It's at that point you make eye contact with the least high person you can find and politely say "hey guy, a little help?" He'll kindly come drag the passed out customer away from the door so that you can exit to safety.

Walgreens

Looking for postcards in Seattle, Washington…read more.. I searched Target/CVS pharmacy nearby - in downtown - but couldn't find any. Since Walgreens was within sight, I decided to check it out. There were none in the greeting cards aisle and none near the souvenir t-shirts. I asked the Security Guard and he suggested Aisle 4... Nope. That's the beverage aisle. I thought that I should check Aisle 1 since I looked in every other aisle... Of course the post cards were there! The last place was the winner! I grabbed a bunch and waited in line to pay. The customers ahead of me didn't have their wallets out and one woman had questions about a gift card. I give these store clerks credit... challenging customers test your patience... LOL! I just wanted to hurry outta there because I wasn't sure if I was in a free parking space on the street or not!

I stopped by this Walgreens in downtown Seattle while on a business trip, and it was no bueno. I…read morejust needed to grab a couple of waters and an energy drink for me and a coworker on my way to the office. Seemed easy enough. But this store was almost empty. The shelves were bare; I was surprised to see so little stuff. I found water, but they didn't have the energy drink I wanted, so I had to get something else. That wasn't the only problem. There were two security guards who kept watching me as I walked around (even though I was wearing business clothes and clearly wasn't stealing anything). I get that security is important in the downtown areas of cities, but being followed while just trying to figure out what to get with the horrible selection felt weird and a little insulting. I had a backpack, but I didn't think I needed that much attention. On top of that, there were two guys doing drugs right in front of the store windows. I know the store can't control what happens outside, but it made the whole place feel really uncomfortable, especially at 9:00 in the morning. I know a lot of cities in the Pacific Northwest have problems with drugs, and some stores are still having trouble after the pandemic. But not even having basic things in stock, plus the security following me, and the drug use right outside made it a bad experience. This place gets one star, not just because of what was happening outside, but because they didn't even have the stuff I needed. It's a sad situation, and I hope it gets better.

Plaza Select Foods

This area of First Hill is somewhat of a "food desert". There are a handful of these convenience stores, and this one happens to not only be the closest to where my friend lives should we need snacks, drinks or ice it's there. A few times we've been caught without some of those above-mentioned items and with the recent closure of Whole Foods walking to a grocery store for goods has been even more of a chore. Here comes Plaza Select. It's got pretty much everything you'd expect and want but marked up by a few dollars or so. Primarily my friend and I come here for Ice. $3.xx here as opposed to $2-2.50 elsewhere. Not a huge markup which is fine but on one of my visits I went to debit the purchase, and it was an additional $1 or 2 because anything under $5 carries a fee. I wish the owner who is mostly nice warned me or put up a sign. I could've basically got 2 bags of ice for 1 elsewhere at this point. If you're coming here to spend less than $5, be warned.

I'm not rating them based off prices. Its high prices every wher. In rating them a 5 because, them…read moresame person(s) are there morning to night. Never rude unless you are! And keep store stocked. This is unfortunately the only convenient store that actually stays open late!

The service was very sweet, and it's a great spot whether you're looking to catch up with friends or settle in and be productive. The matcha tasted high quality and was nicely balanced. I asked for it less sweet, and it came out exactly how I hoped. As someone who drinks a lot of matcha, I appreciated that it still allowed the flavor of the tea to shine through. Another thing I appreciated was how clean and comfortable the space felt. The bathrooms were well maintained, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and there were plenty of people working quietly around me. Overall, a great café for both getting work done and enjoying a quality drink.

There was a weird glitch for the first hour where the music was cutting in and out which was pretty distracting. If you have more than three people it's going to be hard to find a table, especially in the morning. I got the Biscoff Latte which was fine. It looked pretty but the latte itself didn't taste too much like biscoff and it was soggy towards the end. I would not recommend getting it; next time I'd try the matcha.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!
