Outside of the coffee, I'm looking for three things from a coffee shop:…read more1) sunlight and brightness. I'm coming to work not nap 2) table availability, is it workable? Do you have a chance to sit if you come after 9am? 3) bonus if there's food options nearby outside of pastries since I'm allergic This place hits the mail on the head for 2/3. The parking is easy as well, w/no 2 hour limit off the Main Street, which is a major plus if you live in a different neighborhood Downside: It closes at 3pm so it's better to come early. It gets plenty of sun and has a couple floors of seating and some outside. I didn't have any luck w wifi in the porch but inside had no issues at all. Would return to get outta the damn house!

My friend and I stopped by Push x Pull after our run to treat ourselves to a late morning coffee…read more Push x Pull currently has three locations -- two in Portland and one in Seattle -- and is well known for its specialty coffee. I ordered an iced pour over (Zambia Kateshi Estate Anaerobic Natural) for $8, with tasting notes of pineapple, blackberry, and lychee. it was incredibly refreshing -- fruity, juicy, and vibrant. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a bag of the beans to bring home. My friend ordered an iced Americano, which was made with a light roast that had intense fruity acidity. it wasn't quite her style, but I appreciated that they didn't default to a darker roast for milk-free drinks. There was plenty of seating upstairs, where we relaxed and chatted over coffee. Overall, Push x Pull is a reliable spot if you enjoy specialty coffee. The baristas are serious about their craft, and I'd love to try one of their espresso-based drink next time.

I don't write many reviews, but this place deserves one…read more I've spent a lot of time searching for the best specialty coffee in Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, and Austin. In my opinion, Push x Pull is the only shop I've found in Seattle that can truly compete with the best shops in those cities. I mostly drink cortado (a drink which leaves nowhere to hide) and Push x Pull executes them at a level I haven't found elsewhere in Seattle. The espresso is always dialed in, and the milk texture is ridiculous. The staff is also great. I frequently come in with my two young boys, who are not exactly known for sitting quietly, and everyone has always been incredibly kind and welcoming. If you're serious about coffee, go here.

Exposed brick wall and warm tones from the wood furniture makes this shop a cozy third place. A few indoor plants give it a fresh touch. The baristas here are definitely dedicated to their craft! Their drink offerings are standard, although they also have housemade syrups and specialty drinks (seasonal mochas, lattes, etc) if you want to try something different. I love how they highlight their single origin espresso on the menu with the tasting notes. They also offer matcha and teas if you're more into that. I haven't tried any bakery goods, but looking at the pastry case, they're quite popular. Victrola embodies the perfect Seattle coffeehouse- one that I wish people knew more widely rather than the twin tailed siren that's spread globally...

I can never make time to visit their newer location at the downtown Waterfront, so I instead took…read moresome time after work on a Tuesday around 3:30pm to drive down to Renton instead to get coffee here. My first thought getting in here was: how do they have so much real estate in here yet still make it relaxing to stay and do your WFH stuff in? It's wide, there's tons of tables and seating, and the menu - though a little hard to read since it's behind the counter. Music isn't too loud either so even more relaxing! Staff were quick in making drinks, or just long enough so you can enjoy the calming effects of the overall surroundings. I got their purple rain, which has ube hints, juniper, espresso and whole milk. This is one of their summer drinks but they still use their own brand of coffee for this one. Strong and crisp coffee here while the ube is brought out just enough to not be covered completely by the coffee. It's a sweet, soothing layer with whole milk added to make the drink a little thicker and uniform with the coffee. I felt like I was getting a sip and smell of the outside leaves with the juniper as well, so a ton of feelings in one cup that I downed in less than 3 minutes! I will come back to try their straight-up coffee drinks!

There is a particular kind of café that seems less interested in serving coffee than in making sure…read moreyou understand that it is a café. Boona Boona inhabits this territory with admirable commitment. The space is undeniably curated--every chair, surface, and design choice seems to have undergone a rigorous internal audit for maximum urban cool. Unfortunately, the coffee itself feels rather blasé, as though it were merely incidental to the aesthetic project, had high hopes but fell short. One senses that considerable effort has gone into cultivating the idea of a coffee shop, while the actual coffee is left to fend for itself. The larger issue is the insistence on hipness. There is something faintly exhausting about the whole performance: the studied minimalism, the knowing atmosphere, the sense that you have wandered onto a particularly well-lit side street in Brooklyn circa 2014. And, with affection to Seattle, this isn't NYC. It doesn't need to cosplay as one. To be fair, there is plenty to admire if your primary concern is atmosphere and Instagrammability. But coffee should ultimately taste like something worth getting out of bed for, rather than merely providing a prop for the room. The irony is that there is actually a thoughtful and genuinely worthwhile mission beneath all the carefully curated café affectations: supporting African coffee growers, cultivating community, and preserving East African coffee traditions. Which makes the relentless performance of coolness feel somewhat unnecessary. The substance is there; I simply wish the coffee experience felt as compelling as the mission statement.

The person there was very friendly, and recommended one of their coffee beans which were roasted the day prior. After purchasing the beans, I immediately drove home to try them out. And the results I got, first time, were fantasic! It turns out my prior issues were due to the 4+ month old beans from that big name coffee shop!
