    I'm a total sucker for this type of business! Small, independant, someone building their own dream! I ordered their Snickerdoodle white coffee beverage and loved the treat! Friendly service, simply walk up, order, tap and go on your merry way.

    Always great people working there. Im boring usually but right now they have all the holiday items, the egg nog is the big hit.

    Searched "coffee around me" and this little place popped up near our BnB. I'm so glad I discovered this place because the espresso and weekend (morning) barista are top notch. The barista was so friendly and made some of the best lattes my wife and I have had. We went back the next morning and wanted to go back before our flight back home but sadly didn't make it there. Fellow tourist, I know y'all might want to do the whole "Starbucks" thing but it's the same as every other location. Do yourself a favor and stop by here!

    I came here while on walk and noticed this cute local cafe! In terms of location, the cafe was by a gas station and Trader Joe's. Anyway, the service was great! I got great recommendations and ended up just getting a soy matcha latte. The taste was wonderful and wasn't too sweet or too creamy.

    Classic walk up or drive up coffee shack. Located in the parking lot of the Shell, across from TJs. Great coffee, Italian sodas, and snacks to go!

    Wow, this is such a hidden gem! Their coffee is awesome, but their flavorings make it out of this world. The lavender mocha is delectable. This coffee stand is very unassuming, but it's all you could want or need in a coffee shop.

    amazing and convenient coffee option in the area! (in the shell parking lot across from trader joe's on madison/18th) 2 shots in espresso drinks for the smaller sizes, 20 oz and up have 3 shots! classic menu, friendly staff, and good coffee -- will definitely be back to try some of their specialty drinks

    I overheard one of the employees at the Trader Joe's across the street talking about how this place was really good so I stopped by.

They were both extremely fluffy and flavorful. The savory one had a nice chipotle sauce in addition to hollandaise. The strawberry one was not too sweet and moist. You order at the counter and pick up your food here. The soufflé pancakes took awhile (30 mins?) to come out, but it was worth it. We came on a weekend as soon as it opened, but there was already a line. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and the food - one of the few places to get soufflé pancakes in Seattle!

Soft and ripe and delicious. The cheesecake bites were not as flavorful as I would have liked, along with the vanilla ice cream, but I have a crazy sweet tooth so I recommend this one for those who like milder desserts that are not too sweet. The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!

They open later, 4pm during the week and 3pm on the weekends and open until midnight. Great place to get dessert and a drink. We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.

But they definitely maximize the space. It's cozy, a bit run down the chairs are now just covered with a seat cover. And it's only steer parking if ur driving. Ambiance: pretty chill service, we were the only ones there, gossiping late at night. He pretty much left us alone since we entertained us and gave us the check just when we were ready. Food: Im normally a chocolate dessert person, but the chocolate pie was a light chocolate. If you want a rich chocolate pie, this is not your pie. Honestly, the star of the show was deserted island. I don't normally like fruit pies but that's what I'll be ordering again. It's not too sour nor is it too sweet, everyone at the table agreed. It is the goldilocks of sweet and tartness for a fruit pie. Oh and definitely goes well with ice cream!
