there was a miscommunication between the baristas and I was made a latte instead of a cappuccino. this is fine -- I just asked them if they could please remake it. I was then mansplained what a cappuccino was (incorrectly) and was also told a latte and cappuccino are the same thing (??) in the same breath. I have no idea who hurt that barista, but he decided that he wanted to take it out on me this morning

Great window seat for some 2020 short-distance get-away... with cold brew and summer breeze

I’ve never seen a worse establishment in Seattle. Not only is their treatment of their employees abysmal and unethical, but their business practices are predatory and not aligned with Seattle’s coffee philosophy. Go anywhere else

Excellent Scandinavian inspired coffee and treats. Good vibe at the cafe too. Have enjoyed getting both coffee and beans to go here.

This place is awesome, great coffee and super nice staff, plus it’s just off of all the busier market st stuff so it’s super chill. Fast WiFi, outlets, good seating, and they even open the full wall windows when it’s warm! Absolutely love this spot, always great to post up and work on stuff here or just hang outside.

I had the mole mocha, which was really good. Service is nice and there are a good number of indoor and outdoor seating options. Good dog watching spot!

Nice vibe, good coffee, and friendly staff. This is a pretty chill coffee spot. Worth checking out in the area.

Excellent breakfast bagels, I belive the only one serving breakfast bagels in the neighborhood, and great coffee selection. I tried the single origin on drip and came back for a refill. Really friendly baristas too. Coming back when I am back in Seattle.

Sampled their matcha latte, laks bagel sandwich, turkey pesto panini, chocolate chip banana bread.

This cafe has changed hands -- used to be Java Bean Organic Espresso (RIP). The new owners have revamped the interior including adding more windows (great choice!) and have prudently maintaining many favorite beverage and food items from the Java Bean days, with a few new offerings available as well. Staff behaved professionally.

Bottomline: Would definitely like to return for another visit!
