    Espresso
    Maria B.

    Loved this cafe! It opened early, and I was enjoying my espresso before 7 am. The shop is located in a business building, and it is really roomy with a loft sitting area along with the main space. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable about their products. They roast their own beans. The espresso was a blend of their own creation.

    Morning commuter rush. Lots of seating. Friendly barista. Quiet chill vibes.

    The barista was super friendly and made a great, no-fuss latte that hit the spot. There's plenty of seating and the whole place has a chill vibe. Nice for a quiet break. I'll definitely be back to try more.

    Another one of many great coffee shops within walking distance from my hotel. You can find Pegasus Coffee Bar inside the Dexter Horton Building but they also have an entrance on 3rd Avenue. My dad and I both went for their iced mocha. The cashier/barista noticed that we were both wearing Red Sox shirts and he struck up a conversation with us about last night's baseball game and the game that we were going to later tonight. He didn't seem to mind that we were rooting for the Red Sox and not the Mariners (sorry about this Mariners fans, lol). Their iced mocha was excellent! I think this was the best one I've had so far during my time in Seattle. They also had a great variety of delicious breakfast items, such as croissants and pastries. I also met Homer Simpson here! He was sitting at one of the tables enjoying his favorite pink doughnut.

    Best coffee shop in Seattle - consistently delicious espresso & coffee, great food, the friendliest service, and plenty of comfortable places to sit whether working or meeting with a friend. The loft has the best view!

    loved the ambiance of the cafe! the outdoor seating is a nice place to relax. loved the drink options as well! Would go again next time I'm on the island

    Stairs to additional seating

    I was looking for a quick place to grab a coffee before I had to be somewhere close by. Pegasus Coffee was a very pleasant surprise in the desolation of downtown these days. Ordered a coffee and pastry to consume in the shop, and was pleased they were served in a real cup and on a real plate. Nice artwork to look at on the walls. Pleasant music. Comfortable seating with a few small tables. I will be back!

    Americano

    Had to go to DT for an appointment and of course it had to be during one of Seattle's infrequent snow storms. Figuring out how to get here using the bus was an adventure all in itself and ended up here super early with time to spare. The barista was so nice to keep place open for me just so I can kill time and not freeze outside. Thank you Pegasus for being so warm and welcoming! Oh, and the Americano was delicious.

    Wonderful coffee spot as you are going to work, my bus drops me off right in front so it is super convenient for me! Never really super busy when I go and very welcoming staff as you enter. Coffee is pretty tasty, lattes are well made, delicious baked goods & pastries as well. Vanilla Latte was good, not overly sweet and just the way I like it. I got the lemon/lavender scone, it sounded super stuck up when I ordered it but glad I did because it was tasty. I do enjoy talking to the nice staff here, friendly and laid back, good vibe that makes you want to come back every morning. I haven't been up to the loft yet, but may have to in the future when hiding from coworkers.

    Friendly service and cool old school vibe, but the latte I had here was not great. I think you can find much better coffee elsewhere.

    As a new resident of Washington state, I've explored a number of different spots around the area,…read moreand Hello Em stands out as one of my absolute favorites! Unlike the majority of coffee shops I've tried in Seattle, Hello Em has ample parking right on the same street, which was a HUGE relief when I was running hungry and borderline hypoglycemic. When I walked in earlier this morning, I was warmly greeted by a staff member who, after I mentioned it was my first visit, thoughtfully walked me through their top-selling items. Bonus: while waiting for my food and beverage, I explored and was mesmerized by the beautifully curated aesthetic and Vietnamese decor, which was thoughtfully designed and made my wait enjoyable. I ordered an iced Cà Phê Brûlée (torched egg coffee), which turned out to be such a creamy, decadent treat once I stirred the torched top into the strong roast beneath it. For food, I was torn between the Sữa đặc (condensed milk) Pandan Croissant and the Ăn Sáng (breakfast) croissant so I decided to just order both. The Pandan Croissant was sweet and buttery, while the Breakfast Croissant was a protein-rich, savory blend of honey ham, Chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), omelet, and a light spread of mayo. I left full, caffeinated, and BEYOND impressed. If you're after high quality Vietnamese coffee and pastries paired with warm, attentive service, Hello Em is well worth the trip!!!!

    I got 4 Latte's here and 2 banh mi's, unfortunately the latte's either tasted like nothing or so…read morebad that my 4 friends and I couldn't finish them... The banh mi's were okay, they relied so heavily on the meat element for flavor that anytime I got a bite without it it felt like it wasn't worth swallowing.

    This is an adorable little coffee shop. They had some fun espresso martinis and it was mostly…read morequiet on a Friday in the early afternoon....until it wasn't! Definitely a hopping place at the end of the workday. It's got a darker ambiance and it's cozy. It has indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, though we chose to stay indoor. Pro tip - the poofs make you sit REALLY low. The food choices around 1pm were dismal, and limited. Maybe they'd sold out, or maybe they just don't have a lot there, but nothing even looked fresh enough to warrant purchase. The other thing that killed me was the service. There was one person on the entire 4 hours I was there, and it made for an incredibly slow experience. It was friendly enough, if not a little dismissive. Prices are reasonable and there is paid parking across the street, but take that with a "for Seattle" caveat.

    I was a regular here for years and in addition to spending thousands of dollars, left this location…read morea glowing, five-star review. The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that.

Boona Boona inhabits this territory with admirable commitment. The space is undeniably curated--every chair, surface, and design choice seems to have undergone a rigorous internal audit for maximum urban cool. Unfortunately, the coffee itself feels rather blasé, as though it were merely incidental to the aesthetic project, had high hopes but fell short. One senses that considerable effort has gone into cultivating the idea of a coffee shop, while the actual coffee is left to fend for itself. The larger issue is the insistence on hipness. There is something faintly exhausting about the whole performance: the studied minimalism, the knowing atmosphere, the sense that you have wandered onto a particularly well-lit side street in Brooklyn circa 2014. And, with affection to Seattle, this isn't NYC. It doesn't need to cosplay as one. To be fair, there is plenty to admire if your primary concern is atmosphere and Instagrammability. But coffee should ultimately taste like something worth getting out of bed for, rather than merely providing a prop for the room. The irony is that there is actually a thoughtful and genuinely worthwhile mission beneath all the carefully curated café affectations: supporting African coffee growers, cultivating community, and preserving East African coffee traditions. Which makes the relentless performance of coolness feel somewhat unnecessary. The substance is there; I simply wish the coffee experience felt as compelling as the mission statement.
