Zoka Coffee Roaster & Tea Co

This place makes amazing mocas. The place itself is very comfortable. It offers different commodities, like chairs for couples, large tables for groups and even couches in front of a fireplace. Great place to do homework, read and meet to chat with someone. It is not super quiet nor it is loud.

One of my favorite cafes in Seattle. They have a great staff and serve ethically sourced, nicely roasted coffee. They also have a great selection of teas and pastries, but you have to get there sort of early for the latter.

I usually get cappuccino or drip coffee and I love it! It was a perfect place for me to study during finals. I used to come here more often when I went to UW but I still stop by whenever I go to U-district area. I recommend to any coffee lovers out there!

Coffee is excellent. Drinks can be quite expensive, but at least the taste doesn't disappoint. Nice big cafe. Offers several varieties of decaf coffee beans for sale, more than just your typical dark espresso roast, and recent roast dates to boot.

One of my top 5 coffee shops in Seattle. Great for studying with lots of counter space and large square footage, free parking on the street, good coffee and chai lattes. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area.

The house drip is so/so (it's house blend so no surprise) and the prices are higher than average, but the worst thing is that's it's loud. I read that it was a great place for studying but the music, conversations, footsteps, and noises behind the counter really penetrate through my headphones. Sounds really carry here.
That said, it's close and reasonably spread out, which I like. I keep coming back to work. I just have to learn to accept the chatter over my ambient music.

A nice alternative to all the Starbucks in this area. Lots of interesting and different options and the ability to enjoy them in an open and uncrowded environment. Off the beaten path but still walking distance from UVillage. They have lots of seating and space for working out of the office and free Wi-Fi (6 hour limit per day).

Good coffee and delicious pastries, cute interior.

I went here two times on my short trip. The first time, I purchased a drip coffee with a red eye. This was a mistake--the coffee had been clearly sitting in a thermos pot for a good hour. I came in a second time and decided on a pour-over with a regional coffee (Guatemala Gesha). Indeed it was better but something was still missing. Not sure it's worth the $5. The staff here are very nice and there is free wifi, but it didn't justify the cost.

I absolutely love Zoka! Great environment, good coffee, and friendly staff. I could spend all day here studying and not get tired of it!
