    New fave coffee place. The space is open, with large windows - great for people-watching. The music is a pleasant change from the usual Seattle indie rock to mellow Spanish guitar. Coffee's amazing!

    The baristas were so nice and didn't mind helping me pick something off the menu since I'd never been before. The soy caramel latte was honestly the best coffee drink I've had. The shop was beautiful.

    This is my go-to place for good coffee in Ballard. Their Lattes are perfect, every time. Staff is super friendly, pretty solid (FREE) wi-fi connection too... Can't lose at this place.

    Cure for the mid-aft slump: order "straight shot and a beer" (and skip the bubbles, you have beer and two hands!). Then sip both from the patio while people watching.

    If you are in a caffeine free mood ---They have the best decaf espresso I have tried. The barista said their process removes all the caffeine.

    Newly opened in the past month or two. Located in the old Tully's space. This intersection now has a Starbucks and an indie facing off against each other. Read more

    Great coffee, but completely unreliable. Don't waste your time if you're trying to hang out and get work done.

    BEWARE! Don't take your dog! Not allowed inside & if you leave out by the water bowl, they'll call pound & report him "abandoned." NO ONE EVER EVEN ASKED Whose dog is outside or checked collar tags.
