Woodland Coffee

This use to be my favorite coffeeshop in Seattle. I have known the owner, Vanessa for a while and always enjoyed her company. As well, I liked all the previous baristas who use to work here and thought they were very friendly and always made good drinks. However, there is a new barista working here and she is utterly hostile and condescending. The moment I walked in to order my drink she started snapping at me and acting in a very passive aggressive manner. I'm feeling she is discriminating me possibly because of my gender or maybe she hates that I was friends with the other baristas here. I notice she had a "Girl Power" shirt and seems to have a gender bias about her. Obviously, she did not outright insult me for being who I am. However, being a minority (Jewish), I have felt my share of discrimination in the past, so I tend to have a good feeling when someone is being discriminating towards me. I felt like she hated me. She scolded me for saying the coffee bean selection was a bit limited today, was extremely rude when I tried asking her questions and gave me a look like she wanted to stab me or something.

They open early, coffee is very tasty and the barista is always nice and welcoming! All stars align for a good coffee shop

Reopening seating indoors without so much as providing good circulation for the safety of your staff (who couldn't possibly be fully vaccinated until nearly mid May) or your customers shows just how little the owners care about anything except lining their pockets. No one is going to become a permanent regular because you have indoor seating, but I'm not the first nor will I be there last customer you permanently lost because of it.

Love this neighborhood coffee shop. Friendly staff and great coffee. Lots of tables for getting work done. Dog treats for your pup.

When you walk inside, you're greeted with an open floor layout, high ceilings, bright & fresh-looking paint, an above-average amount of natural light, and generally pleasant decor.

There's a large, family-size table that can be shared with others, and there are a bunch of large, wooden, high-top tables. A couple of lower tables adorn the front side of the shop. There's a small, outdoor patio with a variety of planters along a nice, wooden fence.

Coffee served here is from Olympia Coffee Roasting Company, which can be on the bitter / acidic side. I got a 12 oz. Americano and doused it in half & half, as I usually do, which made it somewhat bearable.

Along the coffee bar, there's an all-glass container with a few bakery selections: a cinnamon bun with cream cheese on top, croissants, carrot bread, ham & cheese scones, muffins, and cookies. I had a croissant, which was exactly what I expected it to be ... light, buttery, and tasty.

Service was moderately friendly, but not what I'd consider "outgoing" either, perhaps because I'm not a recognizable regular.

The wifi password is clearly taped onto the register for patrons to consume. This isn't always done at coffee shops, and it's annoying to have to ask for it. I lucked out and had Xfinity wifi immediately available to me close by.

All in all, this is a top-notch location. I'm rating it four stars for being an excellent coffee shop. The coffee they serve could be a bit smoother; perhaps from a different coffee roaster, or a different product from Olympia Coffee.

Some of the best West Coast style coffee in Seattle in my opinion. Always friendly staff. Good fresh roasts. Nice place to stay and work or read

Fantastic almond milk latte and they even have gluten free food options! The space itself is beautifully decorated and they have an adorable little patio outside.

Best coffee spot in Seattle. It's kinda hidden away, but that's nice because it's not too crowded. Personally, the pumpkin spice latte and egg bacon cheese sandwich are my favorite

The blond girl ringing me up demanded to know in a very condescending manner why I ordered decaf. I love coffee but too much caffeine makes me anxious, tried politely explaining this (even though I found it extremely odd to have to justify my preference for ordering decaf at noon) yet she continued questioning in an extremely belittling tone. I go out for coffee every day and never had an experience like this ever. She repeatedly, “just found it weird I’m ordering decaf.”
Just found the whole interaction bizzare, embarrassing, intrusive and off-putting.

Fantastic cup of coffee. Stamp Act is really tasty. The staff is always really kind, and it's a very comfortable place to hangout and do some work.
