    Walter's wine delivery truck
    Melissa Y.

    Upwell just makes me happy. You can tell the owners genuinely care about the neighborhood, and their love for community comes through in every detail. I love how the space transforms throughout the day, from morning espresso to evening wine at Walter's, with food pairings throughout the day. Bonus points for naming the wine shop after their pup; he's adorable, and seeing him on their delivery van always makes me smile. One of my favorite memories here was spending an entire day working on a personal project, starting the morning with coffee, grabbing lunch, and ending with a glass of wine. It's the kind of place that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The design is stunning, with deep colors, dark wood, and a refined aesthetic that feels modern yet comfortable. Every detail feels thoughtful and intentional, creating an atmosphere that's both elevated and relaxing, perfect for catching up with friends or sinking into your own creative zone. The team is wonderful. They remember my name and make an effort to connect with regulars, which makes every visit feel personal. I also love the story behind their main table, built by the chef's father from a tree that once held a tire swing. It's such a beautiful reflection of the care and connection that define this place. Their Tuesday wine tastings are a fun neighborhood tradition. Upwell is an easy favorite and one of those rare spots that makes West Seattle feel like home!

    Lovely flower arrangement, scratch baked goods onsite, mocha w/local roasts & homemade chocolate syrup (11/10/24)

    I was running an errand out towards Fauntleroy. However, before picking up West Seattle Freeway to 99 North to head back to Shoreline, twice I detoured to check out Upwell Wine & Coffee on 11/10/24 and 11/22/24. This neighborhood gem has been open since July and uses a winning formula that has worked for other similar businesses throughout Seattle. Examples that include Fable, MoRA, Layers, Cardoon, Sound & Fog, Bar Bayonne, Baskette and shuttered ones I remember fondly like Vif and Petite Soif. The formula includes being a welcoming and knowledgeable destination. Upwell also allows one to leisurely savor a well crafted beverage or pour with tasty sweet and savory bites, bonus if there's scratch made baked goods! Until 3pm it functions as a cafe and at 4pm it changes focus towards wine. I liked the layout, vibe (great music), striking flower arrangements, and pleasant counter service on my first visit on 11/10/24. I enjoyed onsite a mocha, a moist slice of orange cranberry pound cake, and a flavorful rosemary ham puff pastry. Very pleasant! My second visit on 11/21/24 was right at the time transition, so I ended up getting a mocha to go. This was totally spot-on with a longer than normal drive back home due to the traffic and inclement weather. Terrific find!

    Was in the area and decided to pop in! Best decision I could've made because the ambience, service, and food/beverages were amazing! Loved the Mushroom and Hazelnut Puff paired with a classic latte. The coffee tastes high quality and made very well. Will definitely return!

    Sparkling tea
    Diana C.

    Very cool spot that's cafe until about 3 and then wine bar in the evening. I showed up post bar transition so I had a delicious and unique sparkling tea and the manchego plate. The service was FANTASTIC here. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about anything and everything. They also do tastings on Tuesdays at 5, which was cool. I'd def come back and I'd like to try their cafe menu sometime.

    Avocado toast

    Really yummy decaf coffee here. The avocado toast totally exceeded my expectations. The customer service was solid. The atmosphere and decor was great too. Can't wait to go here again.

    I was craving a good coffee, so I went through my bookmarks and stumbled upon this cafe. Parking…read morewas a bit of a hassle, but not too bad. I was able to find street parking nearby. There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

We picked up a couple of bags of beans from the shop, but all the credit goes to their amazing barista and owner. You can truly tell how passionate and skilled they are in their craft. We loved it so much that we visited twice, and both times the drinks were absolutely perfect (tried cappuccino and espresso with hot chocolate) The café has such a cozy, relaxing city vibe; I noticed many people upstairs reading, studying, and working. I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

We heard that they had a great burger, so couldn't wait to try it and the rumors were right. The burger was delicious. What we didn't know is how good the fries were. It makes me rethink all the fries that I've had lately. I don't even know why I've bothered, they've just filled my tummy. These fries were delicious. We enjoyed a couple great cocktails and I had a yummy nut brown ale that was made in a healthy way I guess so I didn't get the headache that beers usually give me. The steak salad dressing was really good. The steak was a little chewy but otherwise the portion was fair and it was tasty. Id be willing to try other dishes here but i don't know if id be able to order anything but the burger.

I decided on the Veggie Monster omelet, which came with a choice of grits or hash browns and toast. I opted for the hash browns, and asked for them to be well done, because in Seattle, they serve hash browns undercooked. The omelet was good, though it lacked flavor and was a little light on cheese. The hash browns were crispy on the top, and raw underneath. Tip: if you ever order breakfast in Seattle, ask for the hash browns to be cooked on both sides. The meal was filling and was accompanied by a cup of good coffee. The waitress was super friendly and came by often to refill my coffee. Overall, this is a decent place to grab breakfast, and I'd recommend it to anyone in West Seattle.

My husband and I were craving spaghetti and meatballs, so we decided to give this place a try. The restaurant is located across the street from the Admiral Theater. We found street parking, but there's also a lot in the alley behind the building. Once inside, you can scan a QR code for 90 minutes of free parking. We like to eat dinner really early and it wasn't busy when we were there. We sat at a large, comfortable table. We started with a full order of garlic bread. It was soft, garlicky, and delicious. We didn't realize the pasta dishes also come with two pieces of garlic bread, so next time we'll probably just order a salad as an appetizer instead. For our main course, we both ordered the classic pasta. You can choose your pasta and sauce. We went with spaghetti and marinara, plus meatballs for an extra $3. I really enjoyed my meal. Everything was hot, flavorful, and it was a generous portion. I finished mine, but my husband even had leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend Soprano's Antico and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Highly recommend. Oh, they have yummy pizza too!
