    A coffee shop in a building space. Amole of space to hangout, work. Free WiFi. Ordered a latte, blue berry scone and a ham sandwich - $27. It's getting real expense to go to coffee shops.

    raspberry danish

    Today was my first day trying this coffee shop and when I mentioned that to the barista at the counter and asked what he recommended, he was kind of rude and pretentious in his response. He first started by saying he wanted to recommend me something I like to drink, before continuing in an honestly kind of condescending rant about how their coffee shop is too high volume to make specialty drinks and the menu was all they served. I hadn't asked about specialty drinks, I'd asked what he recommended. So without his recommendation, I ordered my go-to of a 12oz oat milk mocha. The barista did the most adorable latte art in it for me. I love when local coffee shops put in the extra effort to make the experience more special! I just wish that care went into the cafe seating area. Every single table was disgusting and covered in crumbs. I sat at one table and was so grossed out I ended up moving to another. And the floor isn't level either so the table I was sitting at was egregiously slanted. With my coffee I'd also ordered a danish, but the uncomfortable seating situation didn't invite me to stay and try it. Further, I'd asked them for my danish in a plate but they bagged it for me anyway. They did offer to put it in a plate, but it felt dumb at that point to waste the bag and dirty a plate. I did try the danish when I got home though and enjoyed the tart raspberry flavor and flaky texture. I love the local coffee shop vibes here. If it weren't for the lack of cleanliness, this would be such a cute place to come with friends and study.

    I stopped by for a almond cherry scone, which was tasty. After ordering it, he said do you want any food with that, which really threw me for a loop.

    Grabbed an everything bagel and a cold brew before our Amtrak to Portland. The bagel was fresh and the cold brew was smooth. My partner got a white mocha latte and I don't remember exactly what he got for breakfast but he had no complaints. Service was quick, no nonsense, and the place was clean and had that classic Seattle coffeehouse feel without trying too hard.

    Matcha latte
    Jerica H.

    A nice space with plenty of tables. I came in for a matcha as a sat to write some postcards while visiting Seattle. It had such a nice vibe to it. The latte was very nice! A good matcha flavor.

    What a great coffee shop! This was a quick walk from the train station and we needed a pre-trip coffee. Walking in the vibe is pretty relaxed. It's spacious and clean inside. The line was quick and the team was super friendly and helpful. The coffees were delicious! Perfect temp and flavor. I also got an apple turnover. It was baked well, bursting with gooey filling! Just the right level of sweet! Great location, great service, great food and coffee!!!

    We found ourselves hungry after attending an event near by and found this cafe!They were prompt in helping us, took our order and got or sandwiches as we paid! Our coffee took about 15 minutes to come out, not sure why it took so long. Over all it was fine, I can't stay I would go out of my way to come back here though.

    Walking to Amtrak and discovered this wonderful coffee spot. Very close to sports stadiums and hotels. Ipen early too! Flavorful coffee and nice selection pastry and sandwiches. Cozy wood seating and decoration provides the coffee chill ambiance. Friendly service and fast hustle. Will be back!

    8oz vanilla latte.

    This place has been here for a while, a Seattle old timer. Glad Zeitgeist is open at 6am, at times I do need to come by this area earlier in the morning for work. It's at the corner of 2nd & Jackson in P-Square, not far from King Street Station. It's a good sized cafe to work from or take a mid-day coffee break. The line can get long just before core working hours but the staff do what they can to get your order up. The standard Vanilla Latte is pretty good, I enjoyed it very much and thank you for the heart shape art on the crema/foam. Staff was friendly in the morning, took only a few mins to get my coffee and I was on my way. Prices are ok in my book. They do offer breakfast and lunch food items, or if you want some pastries. Overall, glad to have come by, will probably be back next week.

    Dark mocha
    Karen T.

    Love this place! Spacious interior, friendly staff, great drinks and cafe food. My two fav things are the morning glory muffin (carrot cake in a muffin) & dark mocha (chocolatey goodness with their in-house espresso whip cream on top!)

    Savanna M.

    Such a cute little spot on the corner! Friendly staff, strong coffee and lots of different food or bakery options to choose from.

    Lavender latte
    Christina C.

    Nice, cozy coffee shop in Seattle. Service was great and we got our coffee quick. There was plenty of seating when we went on Sunday morning. Although we didn't get any, the pastries looked delicious!

    The lox everything bagel was the best I've ever tasted!! Helpful and effective staff!! Coffee is fantastic!! Def worth the stop and looking forward to stopping here again soon!!

Loved the vibe, friendly & mellow staff, and the seating area space. There are long tables to work at, comfy seating with games, and chairs to enjoy your coffee with friends.

We got the salmon rice bowl, cauliflower and yodelin broth with shrimp added. The salmon rice bowl was essentially a salad topped on rice and fresh salmon. The quality of the ingredients were fantastic, you could tell how fresh it was but the actual dish itself wasn't anything crazy. The yodelin broth was a bowl of complex flavors. You could taste the fish, and it was very comforting. The mini shrimp in it were surprisingly good and they don't skimp out on the quantity. Finally, their cauliflower dish was delicious. It was a little crisp without being overly hard. The creamy sauces paired so well with the chili crisps. Definitely on the pricier end for the food but so good.

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
