Stephanie ChaseDecember 29, 2012So disappointed that the Croque Monsieur came off the menu -- open faced, with shaved ham, swimming in bechamel, it was the best thing on an excellent brunch menu. The Croque Madame is no substitute.
Abigail TurnerMay 9, 2015Turkish Latte, every time. But also have amazing hot chocolate and their food looks and smells amazing!!
- L TAugust 22, 2011Favourite coffee in Seattle, hands down! Great staff, location, food, and a perfect sized selection of different types of amazingly fresh roasted coffee served french press style.
Jonathan WebberSeptember 30, 2014Very nice coffee. Cool place to hang out for conversation or sit at table and have a bite to eat. Great espresso.
AmateurConciergeOctober 25, 2018Why so low? Good coffee (cappuccino at least!) and a nice interior with space to meet friends. Food looks decent too
Jp MeteignerJune 23, 2016Intimate atmosphere, wonder and friendly staff and very tasty food. Had the chicken salad and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Kate SommersAugust 16, 2015Ham and Brie croissant is flakey and light, clearly made with love. Pour over coffee amidst a sea of Starbucks. 👌
colin whiteSeptember 2, 2013the bacon scone was delicious, the high leather chairs inside are nice, and next time I want to get a spot outside.
First! You much do brunch here Second!! You must get the drip coffee Third!!! If you don't try the French Toast a little piece of you will slowly die...
Seattle MetNovember 9, 2011It was only a matter of time before someone in this thirsty town united the boutique coffee roaster with the fine wine bar—and at Fonté, genuinely terrific food is the glue. Read more
Order an omelet, (seafood is the best). yum.. You won't regret anything you order from their menu. The coffee.. great hands down!
Thomas SavarinoDecember 23, 2012Food is outstanding. French press coffee is excellent and extremely reasonable 4 cup size. Highly recommend the place
CarlaJuly 4, 2013I can assure this place does not have the best coffee or the best service. They got our coffee order wrong, forgot to put in our food order and when we asked for the bill had to wait 10 min to get it!
Eric TigreNovember 9, 2010Earthy-toned cafe offers quiet intimate modern space to retreat from the afternoon. Barista needs a checklist on how to make and serve tea. A bag of tea steeping without spoon and saucer won't do.
FiofioApril 23, 2012Their specialty coffee taste really good. Especially like the one with honey and herb (can't remember the name..)
CarmenJune 26, 2018the cook leaves at 2 PM and after that there's only "to-go" sandwiches. the omelet and cheese one was terrible, gave me an indigestion. The round tables are minuscule. I don't see why I'd come back
El Salvador Press is my fav. Get the Mac+Cheese (and ask them for some truffle oil on top!)
Turkish latte here is most certainly one of distinguished coffee drinks in Seattle.
Dunny PotterFebruary 7, 2012The Aztec coffee is the best in town. The atmosphere is romantic and the staff welcoming.
Wyatt AndersonNovember 27, 2015Very hit-or-miss baristas. If I wanted a frothy, scaldy mess of a cappuccino I'd go to Starbucks.- CJ WSeptember 12, 2013Get one of the single origin coffees in a French press, best coffee in Seattle.
- The grilled cheese with bacon and tomato basil soup is perfect.
John L.August 17, 2018Nice place for a coffee. Limited wine selection, but decent pours at a reasonable price.
Tigger OlsenOctober 29, 2011Try the Autumn Omelet - Maytag blue cheese, grilled onions, and sautéed squash make this omelet special
Australians, this is where the good espresso coffee in Seattle is at.
- Melinda MillerNovember 17, 2010very sleek but comfortable cafe...it looks way more expensive than it is...and the food is lovely
