    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

    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.

    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!!

We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland.

We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings. It made our visit this time very stifling.

My drink (red bean brown sugar latte) was obviously extremely sweet but it was pretty good with plenty of red bean. My one complaint is that they don't have boba straws, which is a bit baffling to me. Sure they don't technically sell boba but the red bean topping in my drink was constantly stuck in the straw because its so narrow! Seems like an odd oversight. I had to use a spoon to eat the red bean by itself at the end.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    Key Points: - Iconic khachapuri "bread boats"…read more- minor drawback: limited coffee customization options and only forks available The Fam and I stopped by Skalka for some breakfast/brunch before perusing the rest of Seattle during my birthday week. I saw it on a few YouTube food influencer videos and was really impressed by what I saw. The their staple is their Georgian khachapuri. They're the iconic bread "boats" filled with cheese, butter, egg, and whatever comes along the variety you ordered. TBH, I actually thought they looked like little volcanoes, which is something I figured The Little One would enjoy. What we ordered: - Stroganoff: one of the popular items listed on the yelp page. The beef was rich, succulent and comforting, with a creamy, savory filling. The pickles added a bit of bright, tangy contrast to balance the richness. - Adjaruli, the classic version with cheese, butter, and egg. To me, this seemed like the plainest version, but I figured The little One would be more likely eat this because she hates anything that resembles a sauce or toppings. Both dishes were fantastic. The bread boat sort of reminded me of a pizza crust: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and perfect for tearing off and dipping into the cheesy center. The Little one did especially like the crust since she's a big pizza-crust fan. Surprisingly, getting her to eat the cheese and egg was tougher, as she usually likes those. I guess that's just being a kid? Inconsistent fluctuations of opinions and likings? The Mrs. and I happily finished everything she left behind. The restaurant itself is a small, casual spot with self-service kiosks for ordering and open seating. Nothing fancy, but it's efficient. We also appreciated that they had high chairs available, making it easy to visit with a child. We did see other families with kids there too. My only gripes: - once you've submitted your kiosk order, making changes isn't really possible. The staff is so busy going in and out of the kitchen, that you really don't have any opportunity to flag them down. We actually wanted to make one minor change to our order, but by the time I managed to talk to someone about it, she informed me that the order was already being made. - If you order coffee, you need to decide on cream, half-and-half, and sugar ahead of time, seemingly preset amounts. It's entirely prepared in the kitchen, not self serve, and you can't exactly customize to your liking. - Only forks were available. No spoons, no knives. Knives would have been helpful for cutting through the thicker bread crust. Those are very minor complaints, though. The food was excellent, the concept is unique, and the meal was memorable. Won't dock any points off there.
