Woodland Coffee — Restaurant in Seattle

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...

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...

This is my go-to coffee shop. It's family owned and it shows in all the best ways. The folks are sweet as pie and the coffee is perfection. This is one of the few places I'll go and roll the dice with the house special. Their white chocolate cayenne latte "surprise me" changed me as a human being. Though my true favorite is simply their cold brew. It's brisk, nutty, and mean, just the thing for a long work day!

If you go for food, try their baked goods or even a pre-made breakfast sandwich (packed with fresh mozz and Mama Lil's) that they'll toast for you on the spot. The food all comes from local partners. Even their day-old discounted baked goods bang.

The whole spot is dog friendly and the baristas are quick to welcome our fur family with treats and pats. But the outdoor patio is the perfect shady, cool spot to hang with pups or camp out and work.

Punch a frequent buyer card,...
