    Moonshot Coffee had been a long time bookmark, knowing it is related to Burien Press. I had the opportunity to enjoy yet another visit to White Center and take in a popular dessert spot, enjoy a pizza slice, and finally experience a well crafted mocha here (5/31/25). I liked the interior - bright, lots of healthy plants, and ample availability of either counter or table seating. The barista was really pleasant and crafted a well balanced 16oz mocha that I savored onsite and with my drive onward to West Seattle, then Shoreline. Love that Moonshot Coffee felt genuine, great service, and experienced an amazing mocha.

    My mom and I popped by on our way out of Seattle heading to the airport. This little coffee shop is super cute, on a cool looking street in south Seattle! There was one barista working and he was very kind and helpful, and he made our drinks very fast. They have some really cool sounding seasonal drinks; one of them I really wanted to try sadly wasn't available anymore when I came (they were out of the flavoring) but I still had a really bomb lavender Earl grey latte. My mom got a breve as well and QUITE enjoyed it, as well as a warm butter pastry with strawberry jam. They have restrooms available for customers, and free back-in parking out front. Overall would definitely come again if in the area! The fall/winter seasonal drinks sound most bomb to me so hope I can catch that sometime.

    A wonderful looking bakery case with fresh, in house made pastries!

    I finally got to try Moonshot Coffee which was a bit of a challenge to accomplish because we are always in the White Center neighborhood in the evening and this coffee shop is closed by then. We instantly liked what we had here and the service was always very good on our first visit despite it being quite busy and a festival. We had some refreshing iced coffee drinks. I had an Iced Vanilla Latte which was quite good! But what really makes Moonshot unique is that their pastries are made in house from what one of the batistas said and indeed that was the impression I had after eating a cookie I purchased here. It was so very good and tasted so fresh. The cookie was a Snickerdoodle cookie. I would absolutely love to come back but it would need to be during the day and our evening meetings here prevent us from going here more often. But perhaps we may just need to fit in a day trip on a weekend to get another visit in.

    What a cute gem found on 16th street. The coffee shop was quaint and full of people on a Saturday afternoon. There are 4 tables and a bar seating. The shop was full with of greenery to give it a homie vibe. Eggnog latte was their holiday special. The drink was flavorful and a good balance of coffee vs eggnog. Lovely latte art.

    Moonshot Coffee is a solid small, coffee shop in the White Center business district. If you're looking for coffee that isn't Starbucks and want to support a small business in the area, then look no further. Moonshot Coffee will have what you're looking for. I've been to Moonshot Coffee a few times while in the area and it's always been a pleasant experience with very friendly staff here. The space inside isn't the largest, so if you're looking to work from here, get here early or visit during the latter part of the day. There are only a few tables and chairs set up. In addition to a classic coffee menu with seasonal drinks, they sell tea, pastries and have a great selection of beer, wine and other drinks in their refrigerated area. Many people come here just to get a cold beverage while in the area, so it's worth checking out if you're on the go and need to get some beer and wine. But the main reason why people come here, for the coffee, is solid. I've never had a bad drink here. Support Moonshot Coffee when you're in White Center.

    We just landed in Seattle, and stopped here on the way to meet friends. This place was everything I wanted, baristas were so lovely and helpful, the pastries were amazing, and coffee was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. We didn't need them, but the savory options looked amazing too. This was a great stop!

    Tumeric Golden Milk

    Cute shop. Customer service was good and the girl was very informative explaining the drinks. I got the golden milk and asked if it was strong in Tumeric taste and she said it was bold so I opt for that instead of the coffee. When I got it, it tasted more like just frothy milk with a hint of Tumeric. I may try the coffee options instead next time.

    Cute little coffee spot in Seattle. Came here on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. The cafe itself is quaint. Decorated in plants and looks straight from my dream Pinterest board. The staff was really welcoming and chill. They have tons of merch and items from local vendors (including free condoms for winkwink). Feel free to also bring in cans to support their local food drive. The rain will not stop me from getting my latte iced. I will quit my day job for a good cardamom latte. My go to! Check out the other drinks on their specials. The cardamom syrup they use is one of the best that I've tasted. Not too overly sweet and the flavor stands out. Located in South Seattle. Back in parking spots on the street. No indoor seating.

    Love their seasonal lavender drink. The lavender flavor is mild and is enough where it doesn't over power the matcha. The barista was friendly and the shop is very small and quaint. #supportlocalbusiness

    Cold brew mocha is smooooth I've never been to White Center but we made the trip out here looking to explore a new place for our usual coffee adventures. We ended up at moonshot after I met one of the baristas the day before who recommended we come out and give the place a shot. I was not disappointed. I'm usually a straight up iced coffee or americano guy - no calories. But something about the cold brew mocha made me think twice about how I wanna live my life. After reading the description, I could not say no. The drink is smooth, not super duper sweet or chocolaty. It's like a coffee chocolate milk that easily washes down your system. I liked it alot. We liked it alot that we came back to get another cup on the way out of town. Given covid-19, Moonshot only let's in one party at a time. That wasn't much of a problem at the hour we went.

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    Came around 1-2pm on a weekend and they still had a full pastry case! I always love seeing that…read morelater in the day since some other cafes are getting empty around that time. They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

    I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

    I've been to Sea Wolf several times and have had a very inconsistent experience with the pastries;…read moreeven with the same item, I've had a fantastic version and one that left a lot to be desired. I will note that I haven't tried the breads, but as a non-morning individual, I do appreciate that they do tend to still have many items available even later in the afternoon (~1-3PM time frame). You will have to find street parking, but I've never had too much trouble in this neighborhood even on the weekend. Butter Croissant (3.75/5): I'll admit I'm insanely picky with my croissants and I think Sea Wolf's is just okay. I want a stronger crisp on the outside, something that almost shatters and makes a mess when you bite in, but the inside has a nice chew. Kouign Amann (3.75/5): I had a really fantastic time with this my first time picking it up, they have almost a crunchy sugar caramel crust on the outside with super buttery pastry inside. Unfortunately, my second time picking this up ended up being a miss, just stale and much to dry. Cinnamon Roll (1/5): The raisins are a nice touch, but this was awfully dry. Even the caramelized crus on the outside couldn't save this and charging extra for cream cheese frosting on top of a dry dough is criminal.

Mine came absolutely drowning in syrup, and honestly, the flavor tasted pretty artificial and overpowering.
