    super affordable and just plain old good coffee. I don't like other coffee shops taking advantage of consumers charging 8/9$ for coffee.. this is a great coffee spot

    Wonderful experience here. The women working were so nice and answered all of my questions. I love asking what's been popular or their own favorites. They said white chocolate with another flavor had been popular for iced lattes, so I chose a large (20 oz) iced latte with white chocolate and caramel, whole milk. I added an extra shot, as the 20 oz only had 2 shots, which was kinda strange to me.

    I was early for my nail appointment so decided to get some coffee. Checked Yelp and this was the closest place snd new to me. It seems pretty popular. There was one artist and she knew what she was doing. There are seats inside and outside. I will make this a stop before my next appointment. My chocolate drink is really good .

    This coffee is nothing fancy it won't win any awards and it won't blow u away! But u know what it will do keep ur money in ur wallet! Their coffees are extremely affordable and I appreciate that! There are lots of coffee shops that will charge 10$ for coffee but there aren't many that charge 4.55$ for a 16 ounce for coffee and guess what this is one of them!

    Good morning! Seattle Espresso has gone above and beyond in cultivating the best coffee experience. Dave and I walked in to an absolutely Packed... coffee shop.... We walked out understanding shy!! In our many years together, Dave has never been a big coffee drink... I don't know why lol... but he even liked this one! Great customer service & you're not paying a thousand dollars for one coffee... Hahah! Have a nice day Love, Bertha and Dave

    iced caramel latte

    Love this place! Lattes are great and baristas are attentive. It is small inside but there is plenty of outdoor covered seating.

    This place has been on my Yelp list for a few months and finally got a chance to stop by. When I first walked in, I got a happy greeting. The two ladies working are fantastic! They were excellent in making their customers feel welcome. The barista got started on my drink order when within the first few seconds walking in. They offer your choice of milks. The cafe has about 4-6 small tables inside and a lot more outside. The cafe was clean and inviting. I ordered my usual caramel macchiato. Adjusted with half the sugar and whole milk. Wow! Delicious! Very balanced with coffee flavors and a hint of sweetness. The foam on top was a nice top off. While in line, the lady behind me order the White Russian. I noticed this is a favorite among the customers. I will try that next time! Thank you for the great coffee and awesome customer service!

    I just love checking out new to me locally owned coffee shops. I just happened to pass by, & thought I'd give it a try. Vibe inside is very simple, yet dated but with a charming touch. I love the old vintage style ambiance this place has going on. I came at the perfect time as is it was quite empty, but a line quickly formed right after I placed my order. The barista was very friendly and offered some recommendations. I opted for a large iced White Russian. The flavor itself was excellent and had a touch of a chocolaty taste but not overly sweet. The espresso shot in the coffee itself was perfect & not a hint of bitterness. Also love that they use crushed ice. A great spot with minimal seating & a few outdoor tables as well. I'll definitely be back!

    Quick trip to this one and took my chai to go. Small space but it was set up well. Barista was kind but didn't offer any of the food so I didn't bother. My chai was quite delightful!

    Boy, do they have their system down in ordering and receiving your drink. Put that to the side, the iced French Carmel latte is good.

    Don't forget to grab a punchcard!

    I found WhereUBean from a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. This is a coffee shop…read morethat knows exactly who it is, and by truly being themselves, they've built something special. The counter is covered in stickers from coffee spots all over, so you can tell this crew has been around and built real relationships along the way. They're sourcing from Intelligentsia, so the coffee itself is dialed in from the start. There's also a community board by the counter, full of local business cards and notices. It tells you this isn't just a coffee shop, it's a hub for the neighborhood. They even put out a newsletter to keep people plugged into what's happening around the shop. That's one I haven't seen in a while - these things take time and heart to put together...so well done guys The menu is where it gets fun, especially the summer menu. Somebody clearly had a blast putting these drinks together. Looking around, the café is this unique blend of styles and tastes, and that blend just works...beautifully so. I grabbed an espresso and just enjoyed the energy of the place. There's a wall of records with a story behind it you'll have to go in and hear for yourself, and the vintage art scattered throughout ties the whole space together. This is what a truly grounded and authentic coffee shop looks like. Loved it - and will be back. Well worth the visit.

    Super yummy latte with a beautiful design! Baristas were nice and helpful to reading their menu…read more Met a friend here for an early AM coffee and place was decently quiet but with lots of folks still in and out for coffee.

    The drinks are great, they offer both ceremonial matcha and umami matcha depending on if you enjoy…read moremore of a sweeter, lighter taste with the ceremonial or a more stronger, grassy taste with the umami. Service was great, line goes by quick and they explain the different types of drinks that they have if you have any questions. I tried the oreo matcha and was surprised that it was actually a good combination. The oreo did not overpower the matcha and the two flavors were able to coexist. It was delicious. There is lots of space and seating for studying or catching up with a friend. Music is a bit loud though so that's something to be aware of if you're here for studying. I also tried their egg Vietnamese coffee and the egg foam was so good. It complemented and balanced out the strength of the Vietnamese coffee.

    Wow! This is the place for good matcha. They offer two different types, a ceremonial and umami…read morematcha for your drink. I asked about recommendations for what type to add to a mango matcha and a blueberry matcha but I simply got an explanation of the different flavor profiles of the matcha rather than a recommendation so I opted for the mango matcha with ceremonial tea and the blueberry with the umami tea. They give you a buzzer that will activate once your drink(s) are ready and mine were ready fairly quickly. My friend had the mango matcha and this is actually her first time trying a matcha drink. She really enjoyed it. I really liked the blueberry matcha. It had the perfect balance of tea, milk and blueberry. The sweetness was just right for me. The interior is a relaxing place to sip and sit. A lot of people thought the same thing as it was pretty busy when I was here ordering.
