    I passed by this place many times and knew that they have good reviews. Finally, I went there for lunch today. The ambiance is definitely welcoming and cozy. I ordered a bowl of cauliflower puree soup and a turkey havarti sandwich at the counter. The total was $17 ish which was fair nowadays. They have a self service water station. I got a cup of water and sat down to wait for the food. It is not a fast food place. It took a little while to get the food. They brought the food to my table. The soup was hot and came with two freshly toasted bread. The sandwich was warmed and the bread was crispy. For the sandwich, it already had melted cheese inside which was already a little bit salty. There were some coarse salt on the top of the sandwich made it quite salty. Next time, I will ask them to not put it. The soup was good, but also on a high sodium side. It is definitely a cool place to hang out and I will go back to try their coffee.

    Soup and toast and blue cheese

    Nothing better than a couple of soups and fresh toast, while watching the sunset with a good friend, on vacation in Seattle, at the waterfront. Just a couple of lucky bitches enjoying amazing soup. Thank you Freshy's! The soup flavors were delicious, complex, and very satisfying. Highly recommend!

    So, I've managed to drive past this place thousands of times, no exaggeration, and never stop in. Today, in need of lunch, I broke the habit. It's very funky. A hodgepodge of consignment-store furniture, old-school video games, a profusion of globes, gas fireplace, exposed brick, black dropped ceiling, cement floors, local art. Fun! I ordered a salami sandwich and oxtail soup, and was dismayed to see the counter staff pull a plastic container of soup from the fridge, reconstitute it in a glass measure with water, and slap it in the microwave. Ironic, in a place called, "Freshy's", don't you think? One star: gone. Look, get a small steam table with a soup insert. You can pick one up for a song at any of the used kitchen equipment stores in town. You'll have hot soup on demand for your customers, with a little preparation, which will speed up service AND give the impression you care about your food, which microwaving does NOT provide. Message me if if want help setting this up. The soup was ok, a beef/barley affair with strong black pepper flavor, parsnip, onion or leek, and mushroom in evidence. Very seasonal and warming. The microwave made the barley more chewy of course, and it was served nearly boiling, a danger with microwave use. The sandwich was tasty and well-made, all ingredients evenly represented and on an excellent-quality bread. Service was good and friendly, but the counter and open kitchen area needed organization and cleaning, as did the outside of the store, which was piled with dead and trodden leaves that customers were obliged to track into the store. That's the second missing star. Neat place, but it could use a sprucing and a different approach to their soup program, so that they might live up to their name. A typical response to advice like mine would be, "Why bother? Nobody cares!" I would counter that food lovers DO care, enough in fact to give you advice like this, and when it comes to healthfully and carefully prepared food, it COULD be the only one not caring is...you. Recommended, with obvious concerns. They do make a decent sandwich.

    Really chill vibe coffee shop with places to sit both indoors and out. Good selection of breakfast sandwiches and the coffee is good. Would def come back to get some work done, it was quite with some music playing which you could hear but not enough to lose focus! Staff is nice and friendly. Would def recommend a place you can grab a good cup of coffee and get some work done.

    Great, relaxing, and quiet spot for a low-key sammie on California Ave. Breakfast sandwiches all day and several other sandwiches. I had ham and cheddar with horseradish sauce. Pretty tasty with grilled sourdough. They have a variety of pastries and other bakery items along with a daily soup rotation. Plenty of drink variety including espresso based and beers.

They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.

There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

We picked up a couple of bags of beans from the shop, but all the credit goes to their amazing barista and owner. You can truly tell how passionate and skilled they are in their craft.

I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

First of all, I didn't realize they have TWO locations! one in Tukwila, which I go to pretty often, and this one right by Alki. But y'all, WHAT IN THE TARNATIONS?! The Alki location is such a VIBE! It was a beautiful sunny day, and sitting there with the warm weather, Vietnamese music playing, and the food coming out... I swear I felt like I was back in Southeast Asia for a minute. I do wish they decorated the outdoor seating area a little more to really lean into that tropical Southeast Asian vibe because the location has SO much potential, but honestly, the atmosphere was already giving. And here's what surprised me: I didn't realize Natalie's at Alki serves REAL FOOD! We got: Crab & Shrimp Fried Rice SO GOOD. Flavorful, packed with seafood, and definitely hit the spot. Mango Salad , Y'ALL!! THIS ONE?! The combination of fresh mango and avocado on a sunny day was PERFECT. Sweet, fresh, creamy, refreshing. I could've eaten the whole bowl myself! Literally almost did had to share LOL! we got Fries because honestly, you can never go wrong with fries. And of course, you already know we had to get the drinks! Their kumquat sugarcane drink is always a good choice. They also have gelato at this location, which I didn't even know! So now I already have another excuse to come back and try more of their menu. Tukwila location does have food but menus are a little different, so now I definitely need to go back and compare! Overall, Natalie's Alki is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're spending the day at Alki Beach. Grab some food, get yourself a sugarcane drink, sit outside, listen to some Vietnamese music, and pretend you're on vacation in Southeast Asia for an hour.

We had an overall wonderful first dining experience at Natalie's. We look forward to many more visits and making this one of our regular spots. I can't wait to check out their other locations soon, such as their Tukwila location since I frequent that area often.
