I love this place. The chai and coffee are excellent. All the baked good are delicious, especially the chai pumpkin bread. The people are very friendly. I highly recommend this cafe! read more

Very cool ambiance. I love the chill feel of this place and all the funky paintings. The music is very fun also. It reminded me a bit of the library. We walked in and we were talking a little bit. We look around and there is no sound around, and a guy kinda looks over at us. Hey, it was our first time there, we didn't know that we were supposed to use our "inside voices." anyways, my soy mocha was very good and my chocolate chip cookie was absolutely delicious. I normally love the noise and commotion of a coffee house, but this place did allow me to get a lot of reading done, and it was very serene. i would definitely come back here to get things accomplished. ;) read more

A little bit of an industrial feel, but that is offset by the great seating, tastefully arranged. The pastries are good, so is the coffee (I'm told), and the baristas are friendly. There was a really cool series of salmon fishing photos up behind the counter when I went. The art is not outstanding, but is enjoyable. Great location so close to Greenlake. read more

Very good coffee. Revolutions is a concrete cavernous space with funky art and limited food items. Lots of room to hang out, but it has a cold feeling to me. I would like it if I was going there to work on my laptop..... good low lighting for that! read more

This is a great spot. First, the staff (over the past two years) is always polite, engaging and fun! Drip coffee is excellent. Baked goods are tasty too. Of the choices w/in two blocks, Revolutions easily out distances the competition. read more

Coffee was good but limited selection of pastries. Space is small but comfortable and roomy. Next time I go, would like to try a sandwich, but I actually didn't realize they served anything other than breakfast. The lunch menu wasn't featured till after 2, the day I went. But really the 4 stars is b/c the internet was really slow. read more

The baked goods are their shining star. Coffee is good. Space is great when their music isn't way to loud and "edgy" for me. Staff is friendly. read more

Been here once, the muffins were AWESOME, and the espresso was tasty. Gotta go back and give them a more well-rounded try...

My first trip here today with my pooch Miki who was invited inside for heart dog cookies. I had no idea how huge this space is, LOTS of space and board games around to play. I agree with one earlier review that it would be nice if they utilized all the space for a more comfy feel since there is a lot of concrete space with tables.. more area rugs or comfy couches would make it five stars! The barista was super nice and chatted with me the whole time. Good Coffee too. I also like it's a semi-hidden coffee shop gem, much better than the massive foot traffic walking by the lake or the Starbucks mania. Drink Local! Will be coming again. Love the art work as well... :) read more

The people who work here are so awesome! One of the nicest barista experiences of all time and that's not just hyperbole. Plenty of seating, great location, and wonderful lattes. I wish that I lived closer so that I could become a regular. Oh well, this will be my go-to coffee spot when in Green Lake. read more

Honestly, I was a little scared to walk into this place because of it's location but, it has become my favorite place to chill out and surf the web from my laptop. The Coffee is hella strong and the staff is super nice. They even invited me to party with them. How awesome is that? Viva La Revolucion, amigos! read more

Revolutions saved my neighborhood! I recently moved here and for a while thought my only choices were Peets and Starbucks. Needless to say I was quite depressed and sad about my lack of choices in this area (um, coffee @ these aforementioned places range from raunchy to barely passable for me) until I walked by this hip, yummy spot tucked away. Love this place! Wonderful baked goods MADE ON SITE, REALLY good coffee, free wi-fi, plug-ins everywhere, great music is always playing, friendly, relaxed vibe, big, open space, board games if you are looking for something to do. I *only* wish their couches were a tad more comfy, but then I might just have to move in! read more

I'm going to have to come back here, coz my first outting didn't add up with the reviews I've read. The coffee was pretty good; the guy who made it was a riot, but charged me $13 for two standard 16 oz drinks. He was cracking himself up so much he forgot he already entered one and just kept going. I figured it was just super-expensive but checked later and nope, he musta charged us for three drinks. Anyway, I really wanted to love this place. But what should've been a cool and hip urban cave was just cold and dirty-looking. I thought there'd be baked goods, but there were only three sad cookies on a shelf, and the rest of the case was empty and showing a lot of wear and tear. I kinda wish there were more large tables and convenient outlets for working, but what they have is still pretty adequate, I'd say. I'm going to give them another shot before I write them off entirely...The coffee was definitely worth going back for. I hope maybe I just saw them on "let's empty the walls and cabinets and tables to prep for cleaning" day. read more

I think I've been supporting Rev's for about five years now....and they get better and better every year. They take pride in their product and service and the atmosphere is sweet too. I wouldn't say I'm a coffee snob or anything, but I am a pretty cliche Seattle coffee drinker (i.e. I like my coffee). This place is by far my coffee shop of choice in Seattle....they're just that good! read more

Not the place if you need a big table, but it's got great comfy chairs for reading and fantastic music. The menu is coffee plus. You can find great smoothies and food. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

One of the best coffee houses near Greenlake. Had a strawberry smoothie and it was too good. They also have espresso refills for just 75 cents. The ambience is also very good. And they have board games too. Perfect to visit this place with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Clean, modern space with nice art. The music isn't too loud, and there's a good amount of seating. Also nice views of the park. The coffee is solid and there's a great selection of pastries made in house. read more

I just moved to Green Lake and was wandering around and found this awesome coffee shop/bakery tucked between a chiropractic office and a sports store. Almost went into the Starbucks close by but decided to walk around and see if I could find some other place... and I'm glad I did! Really cool artwork up on the walls, quiet place (at least during the day when I was there), and great location. Oh and the Herkimer coffee was wonderful. Give it a try! read more

Coffee shops are abundant, and so there's 3 reasons I pick the ones I frequent - excellent customer service, excellent coffee, and convenient location. That being said, I don't have one that provides all of that in one...sadly. This place is convenient, coffee is above par but not excellent, and the customer service - well that depends. If Phil is your barista then you have the most amazing customer service ever! He is so friendly and genuinely into the people that frequent his place. Anyone else and it's sub par and even bad sometimes. The baked goods are really good with the zucchini bread being #1 in my book. The occasional bad service is not enough to keep me away. =) read more

Revolutions never fails me. Nevermind that there are at least 5 different coffee shops (including large chains) within a 2 block radius of here, I will always always go to Revolutions. They serve Herkimer coffee here, so you know you're getting a tasty cup every time. I've gotten many a latte here, and I'll keep coming back! read more

I cannot believe I haven't Yelped Revolutions before. This is the BEST coffeehouse in Greenlake. The baristas are friendly and make great coffee. The pastries and breads are amazing - handmade there every morning. Phil is a gem, knows everybody and their drink. My daughter adores him and he always acknowledges her and makes her feel welcome - in fact all of the baristas do. I admit to being intimidated the first time I was there, thought I might be too old and them too hip, but they're all awesome. Skip the lines everywhere else. Seriously. read more

I love this place. It's quiet, they have entertaining kitchy art on display, and the staff is super friendly. On top of that, they make a mean latte and their baked goods are great. I just had a pesto parmesan roll that was delicious. This is a block off the main drag and a welcome diversion from the nearby Starbucks. read more

The people are the best here - I stop in every morning for a triple latte that is usually waiting for me by the time I walk from the door to the counter! Phil and the gang are welcoming and have created a loose sense of community here. The pastries are the best in town and deliciously homemade - a claim that not many can make. Stop in here for a friendly and vibrant vibe without the hype. read more

I love a good cup of coffee and I'm ABS - Anything But Starbucks. Came in here last Saturday because my son had a basketball game at the local community center. Ordered my usual drink - a double americano - and it was excellent. Very good coffee. Baristas were nice and friendly. Recommended read more

Love this place. Such a great coffee spot in Greenlake with yummy treats. Great owners and great employees too! I love their pumpkin and zucchini breads. read more

Revolutions Coffee - Love this place. Such a great coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my new favorite coffee shop to go to when I'm wanting to get some work done. It's never too crowded and the baristas are really friendly. The quality of their coffee is excellent too. read more

I don't know why other reviewers complained about the space, I think it was better than a lot of other coffee places. It was rather crowded though, not enough seating areas for single people, too many tables that were too large. I know, I know just share a table, but sometimes that can be awkward. Nice seating areas outside set amongst nice plants as opposed to other places that fence you in like cattle. read more

I really like Revolution Espresso... It takes me back to my UW days and the old Espresso Roma with it's absolute lack of pretentiousness. The space is large, free Wi-Fi, and I seem to always be able to get a seat unlike the Starbucks just around the corner. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those anti-corporate folks. I like Starbucks but at Greenlake, it is usually a major zoo. I have to admit, being an independent business person I do feel good about supporting the neighborhood little guy. After all, Starbucks was a little guy once... a long long time ago. read more

The coffee is awesome but my favorite part of this shop is the art. I love that they have new stuff on the walls all the time!

I love this place! The bakery items are made in-house and you can tell because they are piping hot out of the oven in the morning. The coffee is a great blend that is special to the shop. They are friendly to cyclists too. A great place to start your weekend ride. read more

This surprisingly spacious hole in the wall has been here for at least a decade, yet still looks charmingly like it opened three months ago and hasn't quite been fully set up. Paying Greenlake rent for that long is a damn achievement in itself, so you know he's good at what he does. The dude behind the counter must be an owner-operator, because he has been here EVERY SINGLE time I've been there. He is cheerful and friendly and I - way up on the introvert scale - actively enjoy when he engages in banter. The pastries are the best in the hood. The coffee is good. The personality is what sets the olace apart. For the love of God, don't give your coffee dollars to Starbucks; walk a half block, come to Revolutions, and support actual human enterprise. read more

Great typical Seattle coffee joint with lots of space and great seating options. I tried the Chai which was tasty and not too sweet; I'll have to check out their coffee options in future visits! A tad pricey (a plain 12 oz latte is $4) which kept this from being a 5 star review. read more

Revolutions Coffee - Interior of the cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best latte around Greenlake! Nice relaxing decor, not pretentious at all. Phil, Damon & the gang are super friendly, welcoming and have amazing memories for the tastes of their regular (and even semi-regular) customers. I'm reluctant to say this because I don't want to create more competition for them than already exists, but the homemade cinnamon rolls available only on weekends if you're there at the right time are delicious! They sell out really fast. Great vibe, great homemade baked goods, great coffee, awesome place! read more
