I shuffled into Turtle Bay, where I found excellent La Marzocco coffee, a chill playlist, a very welcoming barista and an incredible surf shack decor which briefly transported me to Baja on a very rainy Washington winter day. Their main gig is smoothies, but they have a impressive coffee offering, even though they are a bit hard to find in the digital paid search universe. Skip the Starbucks and grab a coffee at this locally owned shop , you'll feel better for doing so and leave feeling like you're wearing flip flops.

The tropical…read moredecor is so fun, and the coffee and breakfast options are hard to choose from as everything is so good! The made-to-order breakfast sandwiches are very reasonably priced and delicious! Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. I have not tried their smoothies or gelato yet but if you are into that, there is quite a variety. As a travel enthusiast, the interior always feels like a little tropical escape. We highly recommend this little gem.

I've seen a few yelp reviews say this place is a little ummmm pretentious or overhyped, well yes they don't do customizations and they really don't want you on your phones when you order but honestly, their drinks are just worth it I always order their Wiener Schokolade in the smallest size and that's only because I do like the strong taste of the coffee when its smaller and don't want to over indulge (it does get sweeter when you order the larger sizes, and remember what I said about no customization) We also had a croissant, it was fine as an accompaniment but nothing amazing.

Stepping into Kauffehaus is like finding a hidden gem where warmth, charm, and - where a culture of…read moresophistication is blended perfectly in - what do we call it? A "Kaffee" by Julius Meinl Kaffee & Demmers Fine Tee. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed not just with the inviting aroma of fresh mokka but, more so an experience to a traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus - with genuine smiles, and heartfelt service that instantly welcomes you to be: Polite & a Sophisticated Adult/Clientele! Swayed into an intangible Cultural Heritage Institution of: Intellectuals, Sophisticants, Royalists, Elites. The barista here don't just make "kaffee" / coffee--they craft moments that elevates the Arts and Music of the Viennese social culture. Every cup is served with care, and every interaction carries the kind of grace that turns a simple tea & Kaffee run (trendy fast-food) into a comforting experience. Whether you're sipping a velvety kaffee, savoring the drinks of the classy or just enjoying a quiet moment in their thoughtfully designed space, you'll find that Kauffehaus isn't just a coffee shop--it's a sanctuary of Julius Meinl flavor, peace, and kindness. Hats off to the entire team for their impeccable customer service. Your attentiveness, warmth, and joy are what keep people coming back--not just for the coffee, but for the community you've built one cup at a time. 2 years later... it is still consistent. If you're looking for a place that honors true heritage and feels like a warm romantic restoration of a lost and bygone era. Kauffehaus is the ONLY place to be and become ^_^ Seriously now, go become sophisticated and NOT barbaric and frivolous! ^_^

It's a cute cafe for the rich. Technically, the drinks are…read moreactually affordable. Their desserts and cakes are on the bougie throw money away side. Their signature cake is like $43 for perhaps what would be considered 4 normal slices (it's much more with their slices being considered bite sized). The cheesecake does melt in your mouth and it's gone as fast as your money is. The ice cream with a bite sized cheesecake on it is almost $15! It's cheesy and definitely and unique. Again, it's $15. The life of the rich can be felt here.

My best friend and I regularly worked here through all of last year. I love that their upstairs seating area is always clean with lots of open space and comfy chairs to snuggle up in. My go to drink is a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and I love how creamy and rich the chocolate is. It's the perfect amount of sweet to keep sipping while I work on projects. I love that their pastries always change, it was fun to try different things like a passionfruit macron or a scone. While my bestie doesn't live in Cap Hill anymore and we don't visit weekly, we are both eagerly awaiting the next time we can grab coffee and chill at our favourite cafe.

There isn't any dedicated parking for the cafe, but we were able to find street parking around the block. Once you enter inside the building and cafe, it is surprisingly spacious. There isn't that much seating available though. On a nice day, there is outdoor seating available. I ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee. These were drinks very basic. Nothing extravagant about them, especially the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee was a tad bit better and you could taste the mint in it. If I were to return, I definitely would try other drinks or even their food items here. The customer service here was okay. Not very interactive. There wasn't any issues, but it was a bit awkward for whatever reason.

There was a small entrance fee for dogs, and they checked that our dog had up to date vaccinations. When we were there were several dogs there including Coby and the owner of the establishment. All the dogs and owners were friendly. There is a sectioned off cafe where you can order from the dog area via app or could cross over and order. They had different coffee and tea drinks, we didn't try their pastries. We did however order the homemade pet treats that our dog liked. The staff were also friendly and helpful, showing first timers how the cafe worked. The dog area is a pretty decent sized space and the tables have some space. We were in town for a visit but next time we're in Seattle we intend to come back.

We love that Coby's Cafe offers events for all types of dogs and also they're expanding their menu! I recommend the mango spritz with some coconut foam. We do love the croffles as well.

Like people are saying Kashmiri chai is definitely the way to go here. I tried an iced chai (which…read morethey said was the dumm chai), a regular hot chai, and a kashmiri chai with pistachios and the other chai were very traditional in the way they're not sweet at all and a bit bitter. But kashmiri was more modern and really well-balanced, straight up delicious especially with the pistachios! Also dear lord this is one of the best mango lassi I've ever had, definitely don't sleep on that. In general I love this business for its extremely unique presentation and implementation. It has a walk-up window outside you can order from with a table reserved specifically for chai house. Or you can walk into the kebab house restaurant it's attached to and get to the lovely low-lighting and beautifully designed chai house interior where it's filled with cozy seating and a self-serve order kiosk. I ordered a lot and it all came quick which was great. I also ordered both the rice pudding (lahori firni) and carrot pudding (gajar ka halwa) desserts. I wish I asked the best way to have them (temp, add-ins, etc) but 30 mins out of the fridge they had a mild and off-putting flavor for me. Will inquire about them next time I'm in, because I will certainly be back for those delish kashmiri chai and mango lassi!

Finding a table for three on Valentine's Day without a reservation usually ends in heartbreak, but…read morewe lucked out here! Despite it being a busy holiday evening, we were seated immediately. The vibe was lively but comfortable, with most tables and the bar filled. Since we visited in February, we leaned heavily into their specials menu. We skipped the small plates and went straight for the mains: the Greek Salad with Steak, the Steak and Gorgonzola Flatbread, and the Vine Burger. Every dish was a hit, though my wife found the red wine vinaigrette on the salad to be just "okay" rather than great. For drinks, we stuck to the mocktails. We tried all three on the menu, and the Blueberry Mule (ginger beer based) was the undisputed winner. We'll have to come back for the cocktails another time since they looked promising! We capped the night with the Apple Blossom pastry with vanilla ice cream--it is a total "must-try." Overall, the service was courteous, the ambiance was spot-on, and parking was a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

The soup of the day was fantastic. A sausage, potato and kale soup. Warm, comforting and delicious! The salad was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the quinoa kale salad, with a citrus vinaigrette. There was a little quinoa and kale on top of a large amount of romaine. Not what I expected. It was also served stuffed into a small, tall sided bowl with the dressing on the side. How exactly are you supposed to dress it and eat it? My friend had the burger and fries. The burger was half the size of the bun. She literally removed 50% of the bun. It was also extremely well done. The fries were cold. They don't have decaf coffee, but I was able to order mint tea. It was brought in a cup that smelled like old coffee. The table had been cleared and I had no napkin and he didn't bring one with the tea. There was a slice of lemon I didn't want and I had no place to put it. There is potential here, I hope they pay more attention to providing a quality experience and food.
