Shop looks permanently closed. Yelp and their website says they open at 6AM. Went by there at 7:01AM on May 6 - no workers, no lights, no coffee. Try Herkimer as an improved alternative. read more

As of 5/23/21 they are open! Friendly staff and delicious grandmother's recipe carrot cake! I will be back to try the other house baked goods. read more

I wasn't sure what to "score" Revolutions Coffee, because the latte I got there was delicious. However, that latte, which was a 16oz iced oat milk latte, cost $9.38 (including $1 tip). I'm still in shock that I paid that. But the kicker is that they charge $1.65 extra for an iced drink? Usually it's the other way around since you get LESS drink when it's iced. Totally confused and totally in sticker shock. It was a good latte, but my wallet can NOT afford a nearly $10 latte ever. Hard pass. read more

Meh. I would skip this and go elsewhere. Very disinterested staff. Always hot and empty in there. Drinks are missing the mark - weak and/or inconsistent. Pastries uncovered on plates with flies around/on them. Maybe just for a drip or iced coffee to walk around the lake with would be fine, but I'd rather go anywhere else honestly. read more

Great little coffee shop! I really enjoyed my latte and it was a great location close to the park - making it a perfect stop after a lap around the lake. The atmosphere of the coffee shop is really nice, but I do wish there was more seating. read more

This place is a gem--my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood To me, the most important indicator of a coffee shop's quality is the quality of their drip. The drip here is incredible! They also have pastries, sandwiches, and very friendly baristas. read more

Such a quintessential Seattle place. Complete with interesting conversations streaming in the background, LCD projected menu, and tables of Microsoft engineers tapping away at their computers. What makes this place so interesting is the location next to GreenLake. Revolutions is the perfect spot to grab a coffee, and head out for a nice walk around the lake. On sunny days, be prepared for a meet a number of people - as the pathways can get really full. The take away for Revolutions: good coffee, excellent staff, and the perfect location. read more

No AC (seriously Seattle gets to hot for that now) at almost $7 for my latte and they charge .75 for iced?? What? You get less product why am I being charged more? Also alternative milk is charged on a range so it's hard to figure out how much your drink will come to. Coffee seems pretty smooth and not bitter. The. Wrists were fine, no complaints there. read more

I'm new to the area and the barista was so kind and warm. The latte was delicious and so was the breakfast sandwich (which was made fresh). If you're in need of caffeine and looking for a sure thing, head to Revolutions. read more

They've got an excellent Mezzo coffee and it's a great place to read, have a coffee, and have a stroll around Green LaNew read more

Revolutions Coffee - New tables on which to enjoy their excellent Mezzo coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love that this place it's quite for reading, studying and I think you can focus more on your task. It's shocking that the have AC on all the times, but love it; I get a bit hot after drinking a few cups of tea/coffee. I also appreciate the idea of bringing my pooch inside I almost feel like I'm at home relaxing on the sofa. Their pastries are pricey, but are way tastier than that other place in my opinion and worth every penny. Most importantly, their WIFI works properly; very spacious and accommodating for whatever you choose to do when you enter. I'd like to point out coffee refills and hot water for your tea and the genre of music depending on who's behind the counter varies, but still relaxing I highly recommend Revolution Espresso & Bakery. Holla! read more

Revolutions Coffee - From the observation deck! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Solid. Only bummer? 7pm closing tuesdays. Love to spend more money and time in this sleek spot.

A male barista with lots of tattoos on his arms ( don't get me wrong I love tattoos just using this for reference for if you see him) and a really grumpy attitude was not only rude but literally seemed to hate his job. Go in with a runners high come out with a ruined day! I asked for equal as I'm allergic to Splenda, I literally saw him add Splenda and I asked him did you just add Splenda and he lied to me stating I added equal! Hmmm Starbucks is literally 2 doors down, guess they will get my patronage! read more

The drip coffee was bitter for my personal taste. The baristas were really nice and the environment was great. The location is amazing for a cup of coffee before a walk. read more

Was in here the other day and watched the owner berate a guy about some kind of miscommunication. It was weird. I've only been in here a few times, but honestly... there are far too many coffeeshops in Sea-town to want to slum it with some dude who can't control his temper. Peace, Bro. Peace! read more

(3.5 stars). Nice place with friendly staff. Had a bare feeling about the decor so for me it was more of a place to pick up a beverage and go. The actual drinks were disappointing for me. My chai latte was really weak (but pretty :) and my husband's iced green tea was also really weak with a ton of ice. He has gotten iced green tea from other places that also had to seep their tea and he said they had more flavor than this one. (Maybe they need stronger spices/ tea bags)? So, I guess if you like your drinks on the tamer side, then this is the place for you. Was a nice enough place and it looks like their coffee is popular... it's just not what I got. read more

Great artwork inside and fast service. Ordered a dirty chai latte and an Americano on a cold snowy day. Great little place in Greenlake.

Great location and usually-friendly staff, but @Herkimer can you please ensure better quality from places serving your coffee? Espresso doesn't seem to be consistently dialed in, milk is often a bit burnt and under or over foamed. Lots of potential, and I think you've had a lot of staff turnover, but would love a very improved latte for your prime real estate prices! read more

I came here one evening to get some work done on my laptop. It has a decent seating area with a food amount of tables and chairs, plus free WiFi so it had everything I needed. The coffee was really good as well, I had a mocha and a cookie. The baristas were really friendly and made my order pretty quick. Definitely recommend this spot if you need somewhere to chill or a good cup of coffee. read more

Bummed the coffee here was so bad. Really don't like Starbucks, but I would skip Revolutions and just go there next time.

Best coffee at Green Lake. Wonderful ambiance. The staff are kind. It is a stand in line and bus your own table kind of place. Not sure what the tipping expectations are. read more

Came here almost no one was there. Love their decor, decent coffee a little too sweet for me. Also, service was a little odd almost seemed like they didn't want to serve us or answer any questions. Anyhow it's a decent spot if you're looking for a decent spot. I find it odd that in the 21st century they're still using physical cards for their coffee points (stamps) whatever and they keep it in the store. read more

This is the perfect shop to stop by before your walk on green lake. This place is spacious, hip, and the baristas are so so nice. My almond milk latte was very acceptable, but just not as creamy and smooth and I prefer. No bad things I can say about this spot. I would definitely come back on my visit to green lake again. Especially during this time of year, it's a great spot to warm up! read more

Revolutions Coffee - Almond milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love going here. This is an amazing coffee shop with awesome coffee and great staff. Highly encourage you go if you are in the Green Lake area. read more

Honestly, I want to like this place. The location is great, and the interior is cozy - a nice ambience to get work done. The coffee is fine, but the food is so overpriced and bland. The breakfast "sandwiches" are $7 (you get a dry English muffin with a pre-cooked egg & cheese sprinkled on it) and you'll pay nearly $4 for bagels that taste stale + plastic cream cheese cups. It's a bummer. I'd give Starbucks a better review. read more

Drinks and atmosphere were great, but my major complaint is the staff. I could not have felt and been treated like the biggest inconvenience for asking for basic service from the baristas. Not even complicated orders.... Just asking for another Americano. It was not even a situation of being fast-paced or busy, it was super slow and they were just standing around. It was extremely off-putting read more

Out shopping for some new running shoes for the hubby and trying to save a trip for post-shopping coffee we popped in to Revolutions on a whim. The space is awesome...very spacious, cool and laid back. The counter was very small, which surprised me...how could they handle a crowd? Only enough room for one person back there. After I tasted the coffee it dawned on me...they don't have that problem. While completely cool space and location the coffee just sucked. Not quite sure if it was the beans, the chocolate or the barista, as I couldn't drink enough of it to decipher. I actually ended up tossing it and grabbing a Starbucks coffee at a local grocery store...yeah. Yuck. read more

Tasty smoothies, lots of seating (inside and some out), and it's... super wheelchair friendly? I can dig it! I haven't been drinking much coffee since classes ended, but I do love myself some tasty cold drinks. I started off by finding out that they no longer make Italian Sodas (they should vanish from the menu board soon), but they did have delicious sounding smoothies available. Choices were strawberry, mango, or a combination of the two. I did the combo and it was perfectly tasty. I was also hungry and not in the mood for finding "real food" elsewhere, so I went for the giant chocolate chip cookie. It was a bit low on the chocolate and a bit dry around the edges, but otherwise it was quite good. The space: I was surprised by how BIG it is. There are a couple of lounging couch areas and plenty of tables. I was there for a long while, and most of the customers either dropped in to grab a cup of coffee on the go or lingered for hours on their laptops. There are also a few tables outside, which is always nice on pretty days. So the wheelchair accessible bit (because for some reason it really stood out to me)- When you enter there are a few steps, but off to the right there is also a ramp. The bathroom is is down a hallway with a couple of turns, but it's all sloped and seems to have been made with wheelchairs in mind. I'm not quite in love yet and need to try the coffee, but I definitely liked the place. read more

Decent coffee but comically unfriendly baristas. Been on the receiving end of this but also seen others as well.

Cute place to study right next to the lake! The baristas were very friendly and inviting as well! Nothing too unique/ fancy about this place, but if you're just looking for a quiet place to study in an inviting environment, this is a great pick! read more

A coffee place that's solid all around. Good drinks, good prices, good location, good atmosphere, and good wifi. The one thing I didn't like was the bathroom, which is a maze to get to. On top of that, there's only one key, which I think is silly since there were 2 stalls in the women's bathroom, and I presume there were also 2 in the men's. Another customer and I waited and chatted outside the bathroom for 10 minutes before just giving up and leaving (we thought we heard someone inside when we first got there, but by the time we left it was slient). Making new friends is fun, but i would prefer to do it when I don't have to go. read more

They're coffee is really delicious and it is one of the best shops in the Greenlake area, however, every time I've been there I've paid over 6$ for an iced americano (not including the tip). This is the most expensive americano I've ever had in Seattle and as a barista that also works in Seattle I've never seen an iced americano cost that much. I can justify paying $6 for a latte but not an americano so sadly I will not be coming back. I do really love their coffee so if you are willing to pay more definitely go for it! read more

Dog-friendly! Fast service and always consistent with their quality. I really like getting the chai lattes from here.

This is a nice little coffee shop by Green Lake park. The coffee shop has a perfect location to grab a cup before heading to the park. The inside has a great, simple and clean vibe, with big windows. When I was there, about noon on a Saturday, it wasn't too crowded and there was a good balance of people socializing, studying, and grabbing coffee to go. My drink was a simple almond milk latte, but it was so good!!! I usually add some flavored syrup but am so glad that I didn't this time. The milk was silky, the perfect temperature and perfectly flavored by a fantastic espresso roast. The espresso wasn't too bitter (which is office to happen with almond milk). It was a delightful treat, and I would definitely recommend coming here over the Starbucks that's a block away. read more

Seems to be popular with the 55 and 60 year old white guy crowd. I used to stop in several times a week. The drip coffee is pretty good, and usually the baristas are warm. I've tried the bran muffin, bacon scone, and blueberry scone. They are flavorful, and adequate for a quick sugar or high carb fix. The closest comparable in terms of texture, though, is Krusteaz. read more

Rude people lol, barely spoke to me and charged $4.50 for a tiny (half empty) cappuccino.

Phil, the owner was the rudest person I have ever come across at a coffee shop. He's kind to the regulars not to the newbies. If I see Phil, I avoid this place and choose Starbuck's instead. In fact, talking to the Starbuck's employees about Phil, it seems Phil does have a reputation for being quite rude to people he doesn't know. I am praying for someone to buy this place up and have a new owner who knows what it takes to be a kind person to EVERYONE when working in the customer service industry. read more

I love the arrogance and the taste but just a little unexpected pricey that $5 for plain 16oz one and additional $1.4 for oat milk.

A beautiful little shop with extremely thoughtful coffee and a variety of milk options for my lactose intolerant belly. The food options are sparse, but fresh and tasty. I felt so lucky to have it across the street from my hotel and wish it were across from my house! (Full disclosure: I'm a Pacific Northwest coffee snob but this place easily meets my picky standards.) read more

People who work there are super nice!! I ordered something I didn't really like but I think it's more my fault rather than them not making it correctly or we'll. I didn't like the taste I will try something else next tome. read more
