Onda Origins Cafe & Roastery — Restaurant in Seattle

Onda Origins is my favorite coffee shop in the southern part of Seattle. You may have seen their beans in Whole Foods Market and other grocery stores, but you gotta visit the coffee shop and roastery in Hillman City to fully appreciate their work.

Inside the shop, you may still see the coffee machine that started Onda Origins in the shop when it's not serving people elsewhere. The vibe is relaxing and convivial, service always genuine and friendly. Through this small cafe, Onda Origins tries to expand its impact near and far. It supports neighbor businesses and hosts community events like live music performances and holiday markets. It uses new technology to increase traceability of coffee beans and pays directly to their farmers in Africa and Latin America, whose faces you can find on their bean packaging.

One of the owners, Paul I believe, bagged me some coffee they didn’t even have on the shelves yet. The Burundi they had on drip was dialed in and way better than I make it at home.

Whether you’re a coffee fan or a coffee tourist checking out Seattle, MAKE THIS PLACE A PRIORITY! Onda,...

A nice refuge after a mini urban hike in the rain. People watching people lining up for donuts across the street. The outdoor seating is really cozy and relaxing. You can hear your thoughts, the rain, the cars and nearby conversations. Smells of coffee wafts in the cool air, delicate pitter patter of the rain, nice bright accents of yellow tables to brighten up the rainy mood of the day. Friendly staff and a well stocked clean bathroom for all your needs including a baby changing table and tampons. Will definitely come back again for a relaxed and...
