    The Station for years have been nothing but a safe place and haven for BIPOCs. It feels good to know that even tho I have left Seattle and the people behind the counter are new and the menu has grown... that I can come back after two years and still feel the love as if I ain't even left. Just that alone makes this place a vibe. Then you add in the music that's bumping, the aroma of the place, the acceptance of any and everyone, the drinks that will scratch whatever itch you have from bitter to sweet to frothy to foamy to bubbly to teas to espressos to topo chicos... you're in good hands here. There about 10 sandwiches to choose from. El Centro is my fav and they'll run you about 13 bucks. But the scones which are vegan is where it's at. And no matter how busy they are. They always serve you with a smile and get you your items within 5-10 minutes.

    Cold Brew with Oat Milk
    Joel H.

    The other coffee shops I visited during my trip to Seattle were sanitized, heartless establishments. The drinks were good but there was nothing thought provoking, nothing that made me look inward and reflect on myself as a person. The Station is the antithesis of these other shops. The Station is easy to get to from the Link. Exit the Beacon Hill station, turn right, walk across the street and you have arrived. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Inside you will find the walls covered with vivid art, a bulletin board overflowing with inclusivity that the Station seems to pride itself on, a stereo system sending out sounds and, of course, a drink and food menu. I opted for the Haitian Cold Brew with Oat Milk during my visit. The cold brew and oat milk combo was really good. It was smooth and bold. Despite being such a good drink, the price was much less than the other coffee shops I came across in Downtown. The Station definitely could've charged more for the quality they were selling. Overall, great drink, good vibes, inclusive environment.

    Great coffee shop stop in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, this time I was there to support some friends that are part of the Seattle Urban Book Expo. Lots of unique and flavorful coffee and teas to choose from, the breakfast menu looked delicious, looking forward to a morning stop to try it out. Lots of art throughout supporting local artists. The adult beverages offered also support the local community. Staff was very friendly with quick service and answered any questions. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon, to try some coffee and check out more of the Beacon Hill area. Happy Yelping! Cheers!

    Bustling coffee shop with a cozy interior, delicious espresso drinks, and tasty pastries/bites. The oat milk latte ($4.25 for a small) was smooth and creamy. Blueberry scone ($3) was a great size, buttermilk-y, soft, lemon scented and studded with blueberries. They also had a giant list of delicious sounding specialty lattes! Can't wait to come back and try more items!

    This small Cafe in Beacon Hill is so beautiful! I have never explored around the Beacon hill and was happy to meet a friend here. I'm surprised how this is so under-rated around the area. This definitely is a local gem, as the locals and baristas knew each other. I picked the house favorite D Angelo coffee withe brown sugar, it was so good. There is a community book cupboard where you can drop and pick books and a community garden where you can pick seeds too. I ll definitely go back to donate some books in the future.

    Such a wonderful cafe and community gathering space! Very welcoming, good amount of seating inside, and all around nice atmosphere. Came here twice within a week! Solid food and drink offerings for a good price. The first time I got the Mexican mocha and second time I got a soy latte. Both great! Some pastries they get from other local bakeries where some they make in house like their biscuit which my sister got and looked delicious. So happy to discover this local coffee shop in my neighborhood!

    I wish I would have gotten her name to give her a proper shoutout, but the woman with the glasses and the gorgeous hair made the best latte I have had in I don't know how long. I typically get a quad vanilla latte, and I'm pretty used to getting a coffee with dead shots (bitter and not ideal to drink), due to how they've been pulled. This coffee is so freaking good, thank you!! I also got the Breakfast Sandwich which is a simple sausage egg and cheese option, but the quality is good and the chipotle sauce kicks it up a notch. (Not pictured because it's already gone lol) Definitely will be back.

    While down in Seattle I looked up coffee that wasn't Starbucks. I came across this place and it's the place I never knew I needed! The delightful cafe has a local artist work displayed and available for sale. In addition, there was a women setting up her plants to sell as well. The menu featured a variety of coffee and wine/mimosa options for drinks and had a delicious breakfast menu. My husband and I ordered two mimosas, a breakfast sandwich and their oatmeal. The person working the register was attentive, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

    The Station is a cool spot on Beacon Hill for coffee and grub. I visited The Station in need of some caffeine, as it's super close to the Beacon Hill light rail station and other businesses. The Station has a full menu, along with pastries, snacks and a full espresso menu. And, tea. One of these days I'm gonna get on that biscuits and gravy train, which they offer here! The cafe is spacious, and when I visited on a Sunday morning there were a few people working inside. I ordered a cold brew and it was solid. Service was easy and quick for getting my coffee to-go. I'm glad to learn about The Station, as I often visit Beacon Hill since one of my besties lives in the area. The location is accessible by public transit and street parking can be found around the neighborhood.

    After living in Washington State for four years and seriously missing good Mexican food, I can…read morefinally say... I FOUND IT! The food here genuinely tastes like home cooking fresh, flavorful, comforting, and made with love. I ordered the carne asada plate, and I enjoyed every single bite. Seriously, there was no polite little "I'm full" moment happening here. It was absolutely delicious! Hubby ordered the chicken with soup, and he enjoyed every bite of his meal too. When both of us are sitting there happily eating and barely talking because we're too busy enjoying the food, you know the restaurant did something right! And the best part? We still had enough leftovers to become tomorrow's lunch, and somehow the bill was very reasonable. Delicious dinner and tomorrow's lunch without spending a fortune? That's my kind of math! The service was wonderful too. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and especially thoughtful about my gluten allergy, which I really appreciated. It's always nice to be able to relax and enjoy your meal without feeling like you're conducting a full investigation into every ingredient. The atmosphere is casual but still really nice and inviting perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. They also have Happy Hour every day from 3-5 PM, which I definitely want to come back and check out. I don't drink alcohol, so my version of Happy Hour will basically be: more amazing Mexican food at 3 PM. After four years of searching, I think I finally found my Mexican food spot in Washington!

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

However, I just found out you can put your self on the waitlist on their website if it's busy. Sundays are the best days to go as it's not as busy and they were able to accommodate a big party. The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness.

Still, what we ordered completely made up for it. We had the torta ahogada, costillita en salsa roja, and moyetes dulces and I was honestly blown away. They absolutely nailed the tortas ahogadas. They were so good we ordered three more to go. I would gladly drive that hour and a half again just to eat here. I'll definitely be taking pictures next time!

Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

But I myself like spicy things so it wouldn't have been an issue except when I took a bite of one of the two and it BURNED. This dish was not supposed to be spicy at all. It was bad and I had to spit it out. Very spicy as in bad. My stomach hurt a lot from the extreme ness. Meanwhile my friend was confused. She ate the whole one she had been eating then went on to finish mine thinking I was crazy for my reaction. She took a bite and was surprised very much by the spiciness!!!! Her stomach hurt a lot too. So for some reason there was a hot spot. Sabatoge? I'm not against it as when the waiter came back and we told him the story he didn't look shocked at all and even hid a laugh. HORRIBLE. But the non spicy one was good said my friend. I'll never know. Come here at your own risk. Not to mention how hot it was when they had a perfectly fine working ac. The food left us sick for hours. 3/10 ( I gave three since the non sabatoged one was good)
