Great coffee in a sleek and modern cafe framed with large windows to shower you with our rare sunshine. Locally made baked goods supporting three area businesses. Rotating artists featured on their walls.
I really love this coffee shop atmosphere. I tried this place on a weekday in the evening when there was a pairing exhibition and live performance then. It is like a community oriented cafe where they run events often. There are settings inside and outside. Not all tables are comfortable to work with laptop but I was lucky to find one.
Great atmosphere, excellent (!) coffee, delicious baked goods. First visit, we will be back. A couple months later... Been back three times. When the weather is nice, we can sit outside with our dog and enjoy the excellent coffee. Today was a brilliant sunny day in January and we did just that. Great place and great location. And best of all, excellent coffee!
This little shop is a hidden gem in West Seattle. It is modern, quiet, and somewhat small but has plenty of tables to sit at and bountiful natural light. I tried a spring special drink and the coffee was delicious and not overly sweet. Staff and patrons were friendly.
I love this place! One of the few places to change up their coffee specials! I loved the orange mocha and raspberry mocha! The matcha latte is great too! The young man is always friendly and smiling! Thank you!!
Found this coffee shop while spending the day in West Seattle, and I am SO GLAD I stopped in!! The barista showed me the summer specials menu, so I ordered the Iced Brown Sugar Latté with Shaken Espresso, which was yummy and not too sweet! Also the Spinach & Cheese Bun which was filling and the perfect size. The interior is super cute and bright, plenty of spaces to sit down or work. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood!
I just had the best little cold brew and blueberry scone today at West Seattle Grounds. This is a quaint neighborhood cafe with all the offerings you’d expect out of a coffee shop including matcha, teas, savory breakfast items, and sweet bakery treats. The atmosphere is both modern but cozy and the cafe offers ample room for socializing and getting some work done. Would recommend if you’re in the area and need a place to stop and refuel.
