They don't accept cash, an exclusionary business practice which should be illegal. Otherwise, it's fine. Good service.
Best coffee in West Seattle. Roast tastes like chocolate. Kind of pricey. I wish it stayed open later,
Home of the velvet foam? I don't think so, lol. Former barista here - the beans are burnt, there is zero crema in the foam, and it's certainly not "microfoam" which is the velvety texture you want...
I come here all the time to get work done, the ambience is super nice and the drinks are good. The baristas are also super friendly and remember my order. Would recommend!!
