    Latte
    Nikita S.

    The ambiance was great--perfect for working from a café, as most people seemed to be doing just that. The café has plenty of seating, making it a good spot to get some work done. The chairs might not be the most comfortable for long hours, though. Service was quick, with no line, and I opted for the 8 oz coffee. It was strong and smooth, and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I liked the experience and would definitely go back again. PS: They serve Lighthouse coffee, in case anyone's interested!

    This is one of my favorite Seattle coffee places. Ambience is amazing, and coffee is ALWAYS good and that's not something I can say about a lot of places. Service is also consistently lovely.

    Latte

    OMG, the name was prophetic, because this latte delivered pure sunshine straight to my soul. The shot was pulled with surgical precision and paired with perfectly steamed milk that knew exactly when to show off and when to step back. Like the Grinch on Christmas morning, my heart grew three sizes and somehow manifested itself in the heart latte art smiling up at me. Add another five stars to the Seattle coffee map. Thank you for carrying the PNW coffee tradition forward the way it deserves.

    One of my favorite places to work! The seasonal drinks always have a great combination of fruity/chocolatey flavors and the breakfast burritos are also filling and affordable. Great staff and music!

    Feels like everyone knows each other at this place. It's always full and busy with WFHs and students alike, but you can usually find a seat somewhere. Downstairs is a little claustrophobic, and not recommended if it's flu season or need quiet space. Upstairs is very nice and a great place to focus. If you have a seat along the wall, you're guaranteed to have a place to charge. Coffee is standard, strong, and they have stamp cards. There's no reason to not make this a regular study space.

    Oat milk vanilla latte
    Kate E.

    Loved this little simple gem while in town for work meetings. We sought it out en route to do some volunteer work nearby. So glad we stopped in as not only was my sugar free vanilla oat milk latte beautiful and good, but it was served in a REAL MUG. I don't know the last time I was in a coffee shop that still utilizes real mugs. It was such a treat as I do prefer to sip my morning beverage out of glass and not a plastic to go cup. Thanks so much for that, Seattle Sunshine! I also got a gluten free fresh fruit muffin (strawberries and nectarines in it) which was amazingly delicious. I was so glad they had a few gluten free options actually. If you're in the area it's definitely worth stopping in.

    Chai

    This spot was cute and not too crowded, which was nice. I was able to easily get a table by the window with an outlet to do my work and enjoy the little bit of sunshine peeking through the clouds. The WiFi was broken though which was very disappointing as I'd come here to get work done between appointments and had to hotspot from my phone. The staff were friendly though and the chai was way better than I had anticipated. I think I'd come back as long as they fixed the WiFi or if I was just stopping in for a drink.

    Downstairs

    Coffee is really good and baristas are really nice. Sometimes the wifi doesn't work, so you may need to test before you settle in.

    It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

    I love all the baristas. The coffee is delicious. Tanner loves the pup treats. It's avery relaxing atmosphere.

    Lovely cafe with ample seating and friendly baristas. The space looks great too with seating upstairs and downstairs for work/study or a chat and lots of windows and natural light. A tall americano was a bit more spendy than usual (over $5) and was ok.. didn't find it had much flavor but other latte drinks people left with looked so good, so may try that next time I'm in the neighborhood. Whatever drink that is on this yelp business page coverphoto, I want that!

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

    We tried all three Dutch babies - classic, sweet, and savory - and they didn't disappoint. The…read moresavory-sweet combo was the highlight, especially if you enjoy contrasting flavors. The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

As soon as you walk in, you're immersed in a cute café filled with greenery and plants everywhere, which adds to the fun, cozy vibe. It does get pretty packed on the weekends. I went around 10 a.m. and it was pretty busy. Although, we didn't have to wait in a long line as the service is efficient. You order at the counter, and they have a good selection of pastries, sandwiches, and other brunch items. I ordered a vanilla latte, the raspberry cloud matcha, a quiche, and the croque monsieur. The coffee was perfectly creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The food was good, nothing that particularly stood out but I'd still come back. Next time I'd probably try the breakfast board since that seems to be a favorite. Overall, it's a nice spot to study or grab a bite or drink with friends, but just keep in mind it can get pretty noisy when it's crowded.

I ordered the Pork N' Bitch, which came with biscuits as the base, smothered in sausage gravy and topped with plenty of shredded cheese and bacon bits. The portion was huge and enough to feed two people. I only managed to eat half, and it kept me full for about eight hours. This is definitely a heavy and hearty meal. As for the taste, it was delicious and very savory. The biscuit was soft, and the bacon bits added a nice crispy texture. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more gravy. I also didn't really taste any sausage in the gravy. I was expecting more of a traditional Southern-style sausage gravy, but the flavor was a bit different from what I'm used to. This is more of a take out spot, as there isn't any indoor dining. Fortunately, it's located near the Pike's Marketplace, so I recommend taking your food for a walk toward the waterfront and finding a nice place to enjoy your meal. One funny thing was that I was expecting the person taking my order to greet me with, "Good morning, bitch! What can I get you?" Instead, he called me "sweetheart." LOL. Maybe he could tell I wasn't a local.

Unfortunately, they were not offering breakfast sandwiches on the day we visited, which was a large part of their food menu. The service was fast and friendly. This place does have a bit of a fancier vibe, so we opted to order and go since our kids were with us. They do have cute little seating options inside and outside- always a perk! We just ordered a drip coffee and a pistachio cream latte. The Pistachio Cream latte was amazing, but we wished it had a tad more pistachio flavor. The drip coffee was good.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks, but this was beautifully crafted--not overly sweet, just a perfect balance of nutty, toasty, and slightly sweet flavors. It felt unique, comforting, and incredibly well thought out. Overall, such a standout coffee spot with creative drinks and exceptional quality. Highly recommend!
