TL;DR:
A
classic
feeling
2nd
wave
shop
with
an
incredible
vibe
that
well
makes
up
for
its
outdated
coffee
flavor.
I
was
looking
for
something
nice
to
do
with
my
free
time
on
a
beautiful
Saturday,
and
had
been
meaning
to
check
this
place
out.
As
I
walked
up,
the
outdoor
seating
was
teeming
with
people
enjoying
their
Saturday,
and
I
could
hear
some
lovely
jazz
music
drifting
through
the
air.
As
I
reached
the
front
door
of
the
shop,
I
was
surprised
to
see
there
was
a
live
jazz
trio
going
on
their
small
stage!
The
house
was
full
of
people
enjoying
their
food,
chatting
happily.
The
line
was
long,
but
well
worth
the
wait
based
on
the
vibe
alone.
I
ordered
a
cappuccino
and
Marionberry
pastry.
The
pastry
was
delicious!
The
coffee...
not
so
much.
The
cappuccino
was
topped
with
an
abundance
of
foam,
and
the
coffee
itself
tasted
bitter
and
burnt.
I
honestly
was
happy
not
to
finish
it.
Now,
my
introduction
to
coffee
was
an
award
winning
specialty
roaster
in
California,
so
I'm
admittedly
very
biased.
So,
if
you're
a
3rd
wave
coffee
surfer,
wanting
to
dissect
the
subtle
flavors
of
Seattle,
give
this
one
a
pass.
But
if
you're
looking
for
a
lovely
place
to
hang,
bring
the
fam,
chat
with
friends,
catch
some
live
music,
read
a
book,
you've
gotta
check
this
place
out!
