This cafe has a bit to work on after opening. Starting positive, the atmosphere was friendly, the cafe was clean with lots of pretty seating, perfect for catching up with a friend. The menu also contains some interesting items, and I liked the inclusion of a coffee and mini donut combo (which is what I ordered, called the āSofa Mochaā combo on the menu for $7.50.) The donut was also not bad. On the other hand, my mocha was sickeningly sweet and almost sticky in texture - I didnāt want to finish my drink because of the flavor. I couldnāt taste any espresso under the āchocolateā flavor - I understand that sweeter drinks make it hard for the espresso to shine but this was quite excessive.
I also checked out the grab-n-go area, which had a fair selection of sandwiches and other goodies, but for a couple more bucks than youād anticipate.
As of now, Iād go back for a donut if a friend invited me but Iād bring my own drink. I hope this cafe has great luck in improving the coffee experience going forward - the competition in...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHappened to be in the area and remembered seeing an insta reel about how good this place was so decided to stop in. As others have noted, the atmosphere is really nice in there, but I think they still have a bit of work to do.
Ordered a cold brew. The menu lists 2 sizes. I order the bigger size and the cashier looks at me like Iām crazy and says they only have one size. Once I got the cold brew it tasted so watery.
Ordered the chorizo breakfast wraps and they were okay, but not worth the $10.50 price point. They serve it with a side of salsa that doesnāt taste like anything.
Cashier wasnāt taking names and kept putting āHā for every order so it was confusing when the employees kept calling out āorder for H.ā
I think this place has potential, just quite a bit work to do. Admittedly didnāt check out their market section or donut/gelato offerings. I also think it would be nice if they offered WiFi for customers as my cell service wasnāt great in...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is a great little cafe. The iced americano was pretty tasty, and their coffee at a baseline is good. the shot of espresso was flavorful. A little acidic but not too bitter. Better than I expected! The Focaccia is also fantastic, and they just have a bit of everything. Gelato, pastries, coffee, a little convenience self-checkout, etc. just a really nice addition to the neighborhood.
Service was great, and things seem to be running smoothly on opening day! There was a steady stream of customers, but it wasnāt packed.
I took off one star because I just canāt get used to paying $5 (post-tax, pre-tip) for a shot of espresso, even in SLU. Iām just canāt forget the delicious ā¬1 espresso you can get in Rome. Seattle is high cost of living, but...
