Love the food and the home cook and charming ambiance. The story of how this place got started was beautiful. It is one of those places where you felt great after eating. Food tasted very 'healthy. The service is prompt and friendly. I love that they paid their staff living wage and tipping is not required. I had the Spice bowls. It was very filling. Chose the sambar (lentil soup) and Poha (lemony rice pilaf). The spice was 3.5 stars spicy. Perfect for me. The rice pilaf had lots of roasted nuts. The pickled veggies were very appetizing. Overall I had great lunch that is satiating but not overly stuffed. I look forward to returning. read more

I was recently craving Indian food and a lassi. As far as I know Lassi and Spice is the only restaurant nearby that offers vegan lassis, and they are SO DELICIOUS. In the past I tried the blueberry cardamom one (highly recommend!), but this time I wanted to try another flavor. I was in luck, since their seasonal lassis right now is jackfruit, which I love. It was so refreshing! I also ordered the non-vegan samosas with a mixed green salad topped with a turmeric dressing, and it came with two pieces of flatbread. The folks behind the counter were nice and courteous, and the food was brought out pretty quickly. Everything was really tasty and had great flavors and textures. The cafe is welcoming with a modern and bright atmosphere. It was also really clean and tidy. I like that there was a convenient sections for flatware, water, and bussing your dishes that were routinely taken care of. read more

The ginger chai tea with oat milk is absolutely delicious here! I got takeout on a Sunday afternoon with my pup in his stroller. Note that they only allow service animals, but I missed the sign since I had my eyes set on grabbing a quick drink..and went in with my stroller (that had my senior dog in it) I was able to order and pay and thankfully one of the nice ladies in the cafe offered to bring my drink while I waited outside. She even put tape on the drink lid because she knew I'd be walking around. 5 stars because she was really sweet about it! Next time I have my pup, I'll bring my husband so he can stay outside with Pablo. I look forward to trying their lassis and other items! read more

My rating: 2.5/5!!! I was so excited when my friend told me that Lassi & Spice in Seattle has the Mumbai classic - Vada Pav!! I ordered their Vada Pav sliders through DoorDash app. The Service didn't take too long to make the sliders but may be, the delivery through the app did. There were 3 small sliders. By the time I got my order, the pav became very soggy. The Vada Pav was so blah in taste. Being a Mumbaikar, if you're going to sell a Vada Pav under the label as "Mumbai Classic" I can't help but be a harsh critic if the dish lacked the authentic flavor. It was more like potato pattie with no other spices and ingredients like garlic, ginger, cumin and chili. Only reason I gave 2.5 rating is because the green, tamarind and peanuts garlic dry chutney was good and added that extra kick! I was highly disappointed. read more

I had Lassi & Spice a few years ago as takeout, during the pandemic, and recalled the food being quite delicious and with good portions. I came back again to redeem some Grubhub credits for the month and ordered the Vada Pav, Hawaiian buns with potato patty, and I opted to get all 3 chutneys inside: peanut garlic, green, and tamarind. The portions are okay for the price, but the food is a bit disappointing. The potatoes are not cooked all the way and there is still potato skin, and they are not that flavorful. The chutneys are very skimped, but they used the tamarind chutney the most which dominated the other 2 chutneys. Food came out quick, but the quality is definitely not what I remembered. read more

I live really close and decided to give it a try on a Saturday at 5 PM. When I walked in all the tables had people sitting, but there were some bar seats, so it was nice to see that it was reasonably popular! The place is order at a counter, then bus your own dishes if you choose to eat in store. I went up to the counter to order, and noticed quite a few things on the menu were out of stock. No issue for me, and I ordered a samosa chaat and a blueberry cardamom lassi. My lassi came out first and quite quickly, and it was quite good! The blueberry flavor was quite mild which was good since the overall drink was not overly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try the pistachio and mango flavors! My samosa chaat also came out maybe 10 minutes later, really well packed as I asked for it to-go. It was warm, and when I first started eating it all the crunchy parts were still crunchy suggesting it was freshly put together! It tasted as expected, and I had no issues with it. I'll definitely be back to try other items! read more

My office is near this place and I thought I'd try it out. They have simple yet inclusive menu. Everything looked good. I got sambar and rice. It tastes good for sure but the quantity for the price is way too low. I wouldn't recommend this place based on their super high prices. Will get my food from chipotle rather. The staff is nice. There is not designated parking so you would have to find street parking which could be tricky at this location. The place is cutely decorated though! Response to the business's reply: the portion size I got was 1/3 of what I get at chipotle. I guess your definition of generous portion is different from a lot of us. read more

I went here to get a quick indian breakfast via DoorDash pickup, No doubt the service was quick, but it wasn't worth for money I paid. It's very expensive while food was also not so great. The Wada was too dry and the potatoes filling was just potatoes. It wasn't close to indian fillings with peas and garlic. Frozen ones from Indian store tastes better. The Poha was also dry. I had to add haldiram sev bhujia (Indian snack) to add some flavour. read more

I have tried this place twice now and I am not planning to revisit Personally the food felt too bland. Atleast the online ordering didn't have an option to specify spice levels. I also don't understand why the buns are like the small Hawaiian buns instead of the more traditional Indian ones when those can definitely be found in Seattle area. Of the 2 things I tried I think vada pav - is still okay but still not anything like what I get in India. For pav bhaji - the flavour was not at all on point. Definitely do not recommend that. read more

Found this nice place while strolling around Seattle downtown. The place is small but has got a nice vibe. The servers were polite and receptive. The menu reflects Indian street food with some authentic maharashtrain dishes. We order Pav Bhaji, Misal pav, batata vada, ginger tea and lassi. The Misal tasted really nice, it was more like Mumbai style Misal (not kolhapuri style). Pav bhaji and batata vada were decent, some improvements can be done here to make it more better. Chai and lassi both hit the spot on rainy Sunday evening. Will definitely come back when I visit Seattle again. I'd definitely recommend to checkout the place for quick bite. read more

Omg I am so sorry but I don't want to give y'all even one star! I ordered bhel Puri and I have to tell you what a sorry excuse to chaat it was. I'd never imagine getting such a simple dish so wrong. I couldn't eat more than a bite. It was just tossed on a plate like nobody cares about that poor dish. The place has a very cute ambiance and I was really hoping for, if not great, just decent food. I don't know about the other dishes but I wasn't too hopeful after I had one bite of that horrible plate of bhel Puri. The cold coffee had a weird taste to it too. You can see in the images how bad it is. There was just puffed rice on water and it honestly looked so unappetising but I braved a spoon. Couldn't go beyond that. We felt really bad tossing food but we also couldn't eat it. Mango Lassi was decent. read more

We were nearby visiting Pikes Place. And where hungry for some yummy Indian food appetizers, looked up on Yelp and came here. The Cafe is situated near Downtown area. They do have few parking spaces available in front of the cafe. The menu is not too fancy. We ordered their:- Poha- Poha which is made from flattened white rice cooked up with spices and vegetable is a breakfast staple which is enjoyed in India. I have never had Poha in US before, so was excited about it. Well it looks like they have a premix made and just add hot water to it. Good in taste. Vada pav- Its very funny when restaurants serve vada pav using slider buns or regular buns which have sweetener added to them. It just doesn't taste that good. But anyhoo they tasted decent. Karak Chai- I am a coffee drinker but my better half ordered chai, and his verdict was that it tasted like the ones sold on Indian Railway Stations which are well watered down. Cold Coffee- It mentioned on their menu display that its a new item. The funny part is I was given hot coffee. Seems the girl forgot that but irrespective it tasted like Indian coffee, mild but not too sweet. Its not an authentic Indian food place, but it will satisfy your taste buds. read more

Things they are doing well: Customer Service! Location, clean, kind and friendly! Lassis come in a variety of colors and flavors. I didn't get to try the food but it looks delicious. It's downtown so parking won't be perfect, but if your passing by or are already parked, make the walk! As someone who is new the area, and will be in the area a lot I am very excited to have made friend with the spot. Great job to the owner and staff!

I was on a business visit and chose to stay close to Lassi and Spice after seeing pictures of Poha on yelp!! I was hoping to start off each day with healthy Indian vegetarian breakfast and Lassi & Spice did not disappoint me at all. Poha was just like home made (I cook maharashtrian food all the time), steaming hot and tasty. Masala chai was good and I really loved that they give you Parle-G, complimentary with tea or coffee. Vada pav was delicious, got 3 small vada pavs in one order, very filling and loved the green chillies with it. Rose lassi was delicious !!! Highly recommend it. What did not work for me was the idli / sambhar. Sambhar is better served hot, it was served luke-warm and the idlies simply didn't do it for me, they felt a bit chewy and the batter perhaps was not well fermented. Overall had a good experience. Would love to see them grow and also expand their menu. read more

History

Established in 2019.

Lassi & Spice is my love letter to India, the culture that embraced me when I met and married my husband 15 years ago. It's inspired by years working for a large Seattle coffee company, punctuated with trips to India to visit family and explore the amazing sights, sounds, and, yes, tastes of this amazing country. It's born of love for my mother-in-law, who introduced me to Indian home cooking: simple, light and delicious. It's born of my long-time passion for coffee and tea, and global cuisine, and a desire to build the place I always wished existed. Now that it does, it's a dream come true.

The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature. They serve it right with sparkling water on the side. Absolutely perfect! Out of all of the coffee spots in Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee is worth the visit for sure!

Thankfully, it moved pretty fast so we were out within 25 minutes. My husband and I ordered the cold brew and the seasonal hey ube latte. The cold brew was my absolute fave of the two since it was creamy and unique. The ube latte was a solid drink, but I couldn't taste much of the ube essence. There's multiple tables inside to sit. The employees are also friendly and helpful. Prices here are a bit steep, but drinks are high quality.

Vietnamese coffee is typically made with robusta beans, which have higher caffeine and a heavier, almost thick mouthfeel compared to arabica. I ordered their Hanoi Egg coffee and also their Kettle Corn coffee, from the server's recommendations. I found myself noticeably surprised by how there was bittnerness, but it was not too harsh. There were some also some chocolatey undertones in the Egg Hanoi, with the egg pudding. I would have preferred less ice, less egg pudding and more drink. Overall though, it did not take away the flavor for me. As for the vibe, there was Kpop music playing in the background when I visited and multiple tables already occupied from people working on their laptops or sitting down to talk. The aesthetic is minimalist chic - steel tables with that warehouse feel. They do not have pastry options so don't come hungry! This is the spot to go to if you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a post-meal drink.

Definitely a hub for the cafe laptop crowd and lively meetups. Decent music overhead. All the tables, counter, and shared seating were packed. So I took in the vibe seated on a bench by the entrance. I enjoyed my Hojicha Einspanner. It held up even in traffic driving through Madrona, CD, North CapHill, Montlake onward heading back north. Great spot in Madrona.

The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

It was always so busy, which is great for the business, but made it difficult for me, so I was so happy to finally set time aside for it.

My partner tried their Matcha Einspanner, which was definitely sweeter and was so delicious when the foam mixed in. Next time, I would love to get the opportunity to try their famous banana matcha and maybe give some of their coffee a try!

We went around 11 in the morning, and it was PACKEDDDD. The inside was completely full, and there was even a line out the door, so I honestly didn't think our group of 4 would find seating. The line moved really fast tho, and we managed to grab one of the viet style low table and chair setups that you'd typically see on the street back home, I liked it a lot. The drinks and food also came out surprisingly quickly despite how busy it was. We ordered a lot to try! Drinks: 1 phe muoi $6.75 1 matcha einspanner $8.75 1 earl grey matcha $9 1 banana pudding matcha latte $11 1 hojicha latte $6.50 Their matcha was smooth, no astringency, I wished it was more matcha taste bc it's a little light but that's just me bc I like umami matcha. Food: Phe Sliders $13 MUSTTTT GET!! My group absolutely devoured these. The rolls were soft and airy, and somehow the sliders still felt light and not too heavy. The aioli was sooooo yum we scrape every bits of it lolllll. I'd honestly come back just for this dish alone. xoi chay $15- Really good breakfast option. The sticky rice was soft and chewy, and all of the toppings came together really well. Easily my new favorite spot. I get why it's so popular on social media, and I'll definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in Seattle for sure!!

I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

What's amazing is theres no acidic taste ruining your beverage , just a smooth euphoric rush of caffeine coursing through your body. I normally get an iced latte to get my geyser gushing but a straight shot does happen occaisionly. Outside of the superior taste the caffeine kick back is like a NASA ROCKET BOOSTER piloting Artemis II... Now the hired hands are fined tuned & trained baristas extracting the brown juices from local roasted beans. BTW VIVACE roasts its own coffee, specializing in a Northern Italian style developed by founder David Schomer since 1992... This is why you'll love its taste... VIVACE's interior space is very large for small & medium size gatherings with a hipster eclectic taste of furnishings. Also beware free WiFi if you're a lounge lizard is available... During good weather days outside seating is available for the rare days the gods allow Seattle sun to shine down upon us. Table & chairs on sidewalk allows you front row seating to the freak show for entertainment. Not much more to say, so grab a shot of caffeine!

Plenty of seating and places to work if you want to work there and they also sell pastries and take home items like beans, mugs, espresso cups etc. Definitely worth a visit if you are local in the Seattle area or visiting. Parking on broadway is a bit hit or miss but you can usually find a spot either on the main street or a nearby side street.

The two employees working today a man and a woman came across as passive aggressive when handing out drinks, especially if someone didn't hear their drink being called or asked a question. It made the experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. As a local, I expect better consistency and customer care. For some reason, you get a much better experience both in service and quality at Victrola on 3rd & Pine in Capitol Hill & Pike. At this point, I don't plan on coming back to this location.
