Onda Origins is the neighborhood coffee shop Hillman City deserves. They roast on-site and source directly from farmers, and you can taste the difference. The space itself is bright, warm, and easy to settle into for an hour of work or a catch-up with a friend. Baristas are always friendly and clearly know their regulars. read more

The interior is cozy and has a nice ambiance, with hanging plants and light background noise. It was super quick to get our drinks and croissant. Unfortunately, the matcha with lavender and croissant were both very mediocre. It was nice that they added lavender upon request, but the quality of the matcha was not that great and the flavoring was very light. The ham and cheese croissant they heated up, and it was flaky and buttery. However. The cheese and ham inside were just mediocre deli meat and sliced cheddar cheese (probably tillamook or something). We are spoiled in Seattle to have access to lots of fantastic bakeries, such as Petit Pierre as well as nice matcha shops. If you want very delicious, authentic and quality pastries and drinks, you might visit another cafe. But for just a quick drop in and you don't really care too much about quality, this is a cute shop to stop at or enjoy a lazy morning/afternoon. read more

I'm house sitting in the neighborhood and stopped by a couple times. I got a london fog, a lavender honey london fog, and chocolate croissant. All were delicious and the tea was steeped perfectly and it is reasonably priced. Definitely recommend coming in here! It is small but has lots of seating for the space. One side note: I wanted to try the matcha but saw that it is so light colored I didn't even think it was worth trying so i'd love to see a more high quality matcha :) (i'm a bit of a matcha snob though) read more

Stopped by early morning to get some work done and the place was pretty busy. Popular spot full of lively conversations. Wifi available, solid amount of seating, and overall cozy. Like most coffee forward places (because it's a roastery), the coffee is probably a highlight, but I was feeling a matcha. Can't judge the spot for the matcha alone, but the ambiance helps swing my thoughts. Matcha Latte - I didn't specify iced and I guess by default they do hot. Warm and comforting for most of the year with Seattle's weather, so I'm not too upset. While the matcha is smooth, it's fairly weak. Tastes very milky, not too much matcha relative to the milk. read more

We stopped by in the morning for some coffee. My partner had one of their lattes while I had a drip coffee. Coffee was overall good, and the people at the counter were nice and friendly. We sat outside with our dogs, which was nice. However, we think the star here is the pastries. We got 2 pastries, a chocolate orange pull apart and matcha muffin. Both pastries were outstanding with just the right amount of sweetness and not too sweet. We had the muffin later in the day, and it was perfectly the soft with delicious matcha flavor and some red bean filling inside that wasn't overpowering. We will definitely try other pastries next time! read more

First time coming here and will be back. Got the maple cinnamon latte and I would recommend it. Super smooth and creamy, not too sweet, perfect amount of cinnamon. I could not stop sipping it and finished the cup in store, which I normally don't do (usually I'll take it home and finish the rest at home). Not a ton of seating for the amount of customers there were though. I expected the place to be a little bigger. Pastries at the register looked like a display: so pretty! I couldn't stop staring at the display. I got the pumpkin almond croissant, which I assume is seasonal. Would recommend because it was scrumptious. I'm also interested in the onion Swiss croissant and matcha muffin for next time. read more

This is a lovely cafe located near Seward Park that is absolutely bustling on the weekends. I came here to get some breakfast and do some work on a Saturday morning, and by 10 am every table in the cafe was taken. While I'm not a Seattle native, I thought it had a great community feel and there were clearly repeat customers that come often. For the menu, they have a variety of baked goods in the front, along with some premade sandwiches and other delicacies that are available for purchase. I got one of their seasonal offerings to try - a maple latte with oak milk, along with a small banana loaf and a Japanese-style croquette filled with jerk chicken and veggies. It was great to eat something hot on a rainy morning, and the latte was sweet without being overwhelming. (I'm not a big coffee person, so couldn't finish it due to my inability for consuming caffeine.) I liked the ambiance of the place, and they also sell coffee beans for all the caffeine lovers. I can see myself coming here to work all the time if I lived in Seattle. Glad I stumbled on this place during my short visit! read more

Very nice baristas and welcoming interior and parklet outside. Coffee of course great but the chai and matcha are also well made. Many super dress roasted coffee options for at home espresso and coffee brewing. Good ethos and coffee practices as well definitely will continue to support and great for a quick stock up for beans or a quick coffee. read more

Please do yourself a favor and grab an onion and cheese pastry. When we went it was my first time, and I didn't realize how good it would be. I wanted to grab another for the road and they had already run out of the stack they had in the short time we were there! The service was great - all drinks were out quickly and done correctly. The ambiance was great - you can tell they're a huge part of the community. read more

I am not a coffee drinker but my cousin is and she was visiting from out of town and she tried tons of coffee in the Seattle area and Onda was one of her top favorites. She actually first tried Onda coffee when we were at Fresh Flours in Beacon Hill which I didn't realize was a sister business of theirs (which is super cool cuz i love Fresh Flours). She loved the drip coffee so much that I took her to Onda'a cafe on a different day. The cafe is super cute and cozy and it was busy for a Friday morning! My cousin ordered a drip coffee (it was a different roast than the one she had at Fresh Flours) and she said it was really good too. She ended up buying two bags of coffee beans to take home with her and they ground the beans in one of the bags for her. The barista was really nice and helpful and the cafe sells Fresh Flours pastries which is really good to know cuz Onda is closer to me than any of the FF locations! read more

Note that they don't take cash, only card. Nice ambiance, fairly small shop but good amount of seating. Seats are all metal so super cold though. Staff were friendly. Coffee is solid, no pour over but their drip is solid! They dial in their drip coffee and use a rotating selection of specialty coffees. Tried a ham and cheese croissant, not bad. Super flaky outside, but the inside was not fully warmed up :/ read more

I was so excited to try this coffee shop and finally got the chance to stop by yesterday morning. The coffee was so-so but I like their aesthetic--very cool decor. The main bummer was my experience with the barista who took my order:/ They were so curt and demeaning and honestly, the interaction was pretty hurtful. I left close to tears! They may have been having an off day and, as someone who's worked in food service a lot, I'm always on the side of giving folks the benefit of the doubt. But this was just really discouraging and unlike anything I've experienced before. I hope Onda revisits things with this employee because the rest seemed to be friendly and had good vibes. read more

3/5 stars. I stopped by here on my way to the airport for some coffee and pastries. Their breakfast sandwich was delicious and I really enjoyed their hojicha latte. Now, the reason why I'm giving 3 stars is for the service. It is quite loud in there so when I went to grab my drink from the counter, I must have misheard/misinterpreted what the barista had specified which drink was mine. I grabbed the incorrect one (which I thought was the right one) and went back to my table. It was an honest mistake! The barista, who was visibly upset at me, informed me that I grabbed the wrong one and sternly set the correct one onto my table and the wrong one could not be returned. I apologized multiple times and expressed how badly I felt about getting the wrong one, but they weren't having any of it. They departed the conversation with such haste that I doubt they heard anything that I had said, followed by laughter by other cafe goers. I felt terrible. They were clearly pissed at me for a mistake that I'm sure happens from time to time. Again, I offer up my apologies and I hope that the barista had a much better day than they appeared to be having. read more

I was waiting in line for the Flour Box and my husband ran here to grab a quick drink to keep us warm. He ordered us a black coffee that we thought was super enjoyable. He was able to get in and out pretty quickly and he said that the service was friendly. Overall, I'd say this is a great place to get your caffeine fix. read more

Really nice interior, but a bit small. I stopped by Onda a couple Saturday mornings ago to grab some coffee before heading over to Seward Park. I got the cold brew (4.50, I think) here which was a medium roast. I didn't love the tasting notes and I thought it was average at best. Overall, the baristas were very nice and I would like to try an espresso based drink and get a pastry if I'm ever back here. read more

Wow! A new favorite roaster and coffee house in Seattle. Only tough part for me is location. Coffee is great. They have a good selection they source directly from small farmers. I haven't tasted all the blends yet, so I can't speak to them. But the single origins have something for everyone and every taste. Location itself is comfortable and inviting. I do with they had more on offer in the cafe, but they do rotate offerings. The baked goods are also top notch. Staff is friendly and helpful. The perfect Seattle coffee house, with a great roaster out back to boot. read more

Decent Coffee - Cozy - Basic menu It's a to the point kind of coffee shop. Nothing too fancy, basic coffee menu, small on the inside, and has a cozy PNW feel. Right next to one of the best bakeries called the flour box. We came to do some work and this isn't the best spot for office style work, the music was a little loud and space was limited but we worked there for an hour and could get some stuff done. read more

Onda is our favorite! Their coffee is superb, the baristas are wonderful, and their fresh food is delicious. We really enjoy their day old basket as well. Best place to stop for a latte on the way to... anywhere! read more

The coffee shop is good, but not for dining in due to its small size and high crowd. I ordered a latte with a warm plain croissant. The coffee had a good flavor and texture, and it perfectly complemented the croissant. The plan croissant is something I would recommend. It was warm and crispy. Service was okay. read more

Great roast of coffee and what an awesome selection of pastries! Can't wait to try something new next visit.

Service was great and fast. They have great customer service. The ambiance was awesome and the drinks (hojicha latte) and the basque cake, delicious! I recommend an uber or bus ride to get here. read more

I smelled their coffee roasting yesterday and knew I wanted to stop in. I bought some espresso beans and got a free coffee with bean purchase. I got an iced coffee and a few pastries (baked by Fresh Flours Bakery) and they were all good. They have indoor seating and a nice outdoor sidewalk patio. They are right next to the Flour Box donut shop. The staff are friendly and helpful. read more

Phenomenal blueberry muffin. Exceptional. No notes. Beautifully light and soft, buttery but not overwhelming in the slightest, and perfectly moist. The blueberries are scattered in just the right amount and add gorgeous bursts of berry flavor. And the crumble on top was perfect for added texture and was pleasantly sugary. An absolutely wonderful start to my morning--it set me up for a day of success and joy. The coffee was good, too. I would add a photo, but I was too focused on enjoying my act of consumption. It was an enjoyment, indeed. read more

Came here to get coffee while my wife waited in line at The Flour Box. Minimal line on a late Thursday morning. Staff was very friendly. We tried the house latte and eggnog latte. Both were good and very smooth. The eggnog latte was too sweet (they use Smith Brothers). Prices were a little higher than some other places we've been too, but not unreasonable. Some seating inside. read more

Cute little coffee house. The hubby and I had breakfast up in this area while visiting Seattle and decided to walk off the calories to the coffee shop. Onda is very much a community coffee roaster exuding lots of love which you feel the second you walk through the doors. I had a mocha while the hubby had a vanilla latte. Both were made very well and we enjoyed them while outside in their parkette seating area. We met a local and chatted with her for a solid 20 minutes before taking the walk back to the Link. read more

Incredible coffee, phenomenal service! By far the best coffee and cafe I've been to in Seattle! The baristas are all super helpful and not pretentious (like other Seattle shops I've been too). They give $1 back directly to the farmer for every pound of coffee roasted and even had a couple coffee farmers in town for a meet and greet (so cool)! They also have a coffee club which is super affordable and comes with a really fun diner mug! read more

They carry Sunrise Tacos, have a good range of pastries available, including really delicious looking pan (lentil, jerk chicken, and beef curry). The spot is warm and cozy, with lots of homey looking nooks. Parking isn't great around here, but I found something close to the cross fit spot nearby. Baristas are friendly, and the tea is great. I'm bummed they don't carry more alternative milk--just oat and hemp, which arguably are the least popular... Maybe they're the most sustainable? read more

I've never been disappointed in a cup of coffee here. The baristas are super knowledgeable and make a great cup of coffee every time (in particular, I think Sam has a fan club and he usually works the morning ish shift). The cafe has a great ambiance. I like to go there to read, respond to emails, or do really simple work. I l have a harder time doing serious work bc I tend to get distracted people watching. I have friends that do serious work from here though and they love it. Maybe bring noise cancelling headphones if you've got some time sensitive work to complete. I like some places for the coffee and some for the ambiance, but I like Onda for both. It's a great spot all around. read more

Great little spot for your caffeine fix. We got the mocha and their seasonal caramel apple oat milk latte. My husband really enjoyed his mocha. I wasn't a huge fan of the apple flavor in mine, but the espresso and the oat milk were creamy and delicious! Friendly staff, relaxed ambience and well-lit space. They had some beautiful local art hung up for sale as well. We'll be back soon for more. P.S - they have baked goods if you're peckish, and they also have Flour Box donuts across the street read more
