    Plenty of seating
    Makaiya R.

    This coffee shop has many places to sit with access to outlets, making it a great place to hole up for a while and get some work done. The lighting was also on the lower end which I appreciate. My latte was a fairly standard vanilla latte, but wasn't too sweet.

    2nd time is a charm! Last month we were around the area but couldn't find the location. Siri isn't always accurate with directions. Anyway, I heard wonderful things from some of my clients! Had to try it and it DID NOT disappoint. I went with a hazelnut mocha. They are known for their in house Swiss chocolate as the partner seems to be Sweden. They had truffles as well but I didn't get to try the food. Next time. It was a very clean environment and the barista was so helpful and patient with me. Great recommendation. Only downside is that during the week, their parking is terrible. Worth it!

    MOD Bar.   Espresso pulled here

    Nichelle and Grisell our fabulous ambassadors of the Dote brand Notice the MOD bar where they do the coffee it's supposed to be more conversational, welcoming, and friendly, and the whole design as well as the team really abide by this. It's inviting warm that you can just sit in the corner and have a meeting or work. Or just relax some people watch as if you're in Europe. So excited to see them expanding in this really great little area in Bellevue called the spring District. Watch for it. It's just lovely. And great easy location. I've learned they just opened a walk up espresso bar at their culinary kitchen, which I believe is in Redmond But if you're looking for a really great spot for some yummy food, great coffee and I'm inviting Design that is both grounding and inspiring look no further - when there come to Dote

    Great ambiance but less than stellar service. We had asked for a hazelnut latte and instead of confirming that they didn't have hazelnut syrup they subbed it with a completely different hazelnut milk mocha without letting us know. Pretty disappointing but they did let us switch it out.

    All pastries and available sandwiches displayed. So many options!

    I was super impressed with my first experience here. Lovely, bougie, spacious, comfy, and safe cafe with great drinks, food, and vibes. They have couches, tables, lounge chairs, chairs with cushions, outside seating...the lobby is very spacious. I loved the cozy cushion chairs, it was a perfect cafe to enjoy a matcha and read my book. The staff were super friendly, kind, and communicative. I ordered the matcha brownie, almond croissant (both pastries warmed), and a 16oz oat milk Matcha latte. I am very appreciative they use ceremonial matcha!! My matcha was beautiful and tasted great! The latte art was such a pleasant touch that it made me smile! Both pastries were sooo tasty...I think the matcha brownie was my favorite :) I would definitely return and would recommend!

    Great coffee. The cafe is great to work from. They do not label their food for dietary restrictions, so I never order food here. Its not convenient to ask about each food item

    Seating on one side

    Dote is a place so lovely that it's worth it to move to the apartment in the area and making it your coffee work space. It's super spacious (can fit maybe 100 people), never crowded, and conveniently located right across the street from the light rail station. It's mostly used by Meta employees but you can sit there and not feel shunned as you would around Amazon buildings. Don't need to say how good the coffee is. They specialize in chocolate/mocha varieties and you can purchase chocolates, pastries, coffee beans and more. They usually have a seasonal special as well.

    Sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich
    Emma S.

    Cute and cozy spot! Lots of room to work in a very quiet area of the city. I tried the golden milk for the first time and I liked it! I'm not a huge fan of ginger but it wasn't over powering! I liked the sandwich however the sausage was a little too peppery. I will definitely come back to work and try more drinks!

    Interior

    Great coffee (decaf cappuccino and matcha latte) and nice modern interior on Meta campus but music is so loud I had to use my EarPods to mute the loud music. We had to talk loud to make each other heard. People from Dote: many people don't like loud music forced upon them. Play some nice French cafe playlist in the background. Sadly, we won't be back.

    It's so nice to have a coffee shop and another business in Bellevue's newest neighborhood, the Spring District. Although there is a Dote Coffee Bar in the Lincoln Tower, this Dote Coffee Bar feels much more inviting, is spacious, allows dogs and is right next to the 2 Line. I came here with a friend on a Sunday morning and the place was busy, but didn't feel crowded due to how spacious the shop is. There's tons of space to sit inside as well as chairs set up outside the shop and because it's located in the Spring District, there are several areas for seating in the plaza. You won't have a hard time trying to find a place to sip your drink. The menu features classic, standard items, as well as specialty items that are worth learning about. The friendly barista let me know that the owner of Dote is a chocolatier, so mentioned that any drink with chocolate is a must. That's easy for me since I love chocolate! I ordered an iced white chocolate ginger matcha, which is a seasonal drink for this summer, and it was solid. I loved the ginger with the matcha and though it may sound sweet with the white chocolate, it actually wasn't that sweet, which I prefer. I could've easily had another one. They're in the works of getting their permit to serve alcohol and when they do, they will have specialty coffee drinks with booze. In addition to drinks, they have pastries and different truffles made from the owner. I'll have to try the chocolate next time or the affogato! But I'm so glad that Dote is located in the Spring District, an area that's emerging with more to come.

    I was taken aback by this thai tea float! I truly never had anything like it. The ube marshmallow…read morewas toasted and paired well with the robust thai tea. I was afraid that the thai tea would be sweetened already and the soft serve would only overly sweeten it but if anything, letting the soft serve melt into the thai tea was what gave the drink it's sweetness (along with the marshmallow-like foam). It was so GOOD! I thoroughly enjoyed this drink, especially on those rare warm sunny days we get here in Western Washington. Dare I say that I dream about this float! The self-serve kiosks made ordering seamless with detailed descriptions of menu items. The servers were pleasant and friendly, immediately welcoming us into the storefront. It's a quaint store with outdoor seating. I will definitely be back especially with the Summer days approaching!

Note that they don't have dedicated parking, so plan ahead! Thai Tea x Ube Soft Serve: Both flavors came through pretty strong, but even for someone with a sweet tooth, this was painfully sweet to the point that you're mouth feels like it's drying out. Mouthfeel was fine for soft serve; I do prefer a thicker and creamier texture, but it's not bad!Would recommend sharing a cup with a few friends. Ube S'more Toast: This was surprisingly good! I didn't have high expectations for the ube marshmallow, but it was excellent. Melt in your mouth while still being fluffy, and earthy sweetness from the ube. The bread is fried nicely with a good crunch without feeling greasy and filled to the brim with smooth whipped cream. Definitely recommend the toasts over the soft serve.

    I was in the area for a doctor's appointment and needed a quick coffee fix. When a spot popped up…read moreon Yelp with some great photos, I figured I'd give it a try. Parking ended up being a bit of a walk, which had me second-guessing the decision at first--but I'm glad I stuck with it. The moment I walked in, the space felt thoughtfully designed. The flow of the café is one of the best I've experienced--open, comfortable, and easy to navigate. As soon as the door opened, the barista greeted me right away. The counter is positioned close enough that you don't feel awkward hovering like in some cafés where the bar feels miles away. It immediately felt welcoming. I visited on a weekend during a slower period, but since the café sits right next to a college, I can imagine the line spilling out the door during peak hours. At quieter times though, the layout works well--there's enough space for a couple people to wait without crowding the entrance. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. The croissant came warmed, and the texture was spot on: fluffy, layered, and not overly greasy. The almond filling had a really nice balance--nutty with just enough sweetness and a hint of salt to round it out. I was told the pastries are made in-house, and it definitely shows. It tasted like something made with care. The cortado itself was solid--pretty classic, nothing overly fancy. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was that it came with sparkling water, which was great for cleansing the palate. The space itself is fairly spacious and works well if you want a quiet moment to sip your coffee. That said, most of the seating is high stools, so it doesn't really feel like the type of place to settle in and study for hours. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food. The one thing that caught me off guard was the price of the croissant at $6.50. It tasted great and I understand prices in this area tend to run higher, especially for house-made pastries--but it's a bit outside what I'd usually spend. So while I definitely think it's good, it might not become a regular stop for me simply due to location and budget. Still, a great find and a pleasant surprise during a routine coffee run.
