      Are they dog friendly?

      A:

      I called them and they let me know that they are okay with dogs inside as long as they are not disruptive and loud.

      Good coffee at a reasonable price and they have seasonal flavors which are delicious. It is usually full if you're interested in getting work done.

      Love this cozy little coffee shop right across from the U-Dustrict light rail station. Super convenient location right by all the restaurants and stores. They have so many drinks on their menu with plenty of flavors and syrups to pick from. I love that they had a themed menu for February as well!

      Strawberry Iced Latte: I had to add espresso to it as this drink doesn't come with any, makes it a nice option for kids as well. The strawberry compote was so delicious but kinda hard to drink with a straw. It was quite sweet but mixing in the espresso made it perfect. Highly recommend trying this out or adding the strawberry to any drink!

      They have a couch and plenty of tables to work at or just hang out. It was relatively quiet even though it was filled with people which I was very happy about!

      We tried their coffee on a rare sunny day in seattle. The service was amazing. The coffee is really good here. The ambiance is weirdly amazing. Overall, a good cafe to explore and enjoy.

      This is a place that reminds me of my college years. Probably because it was jammed with UW college students caffeinating before studying. The food menu is limited but what I had was good. The coffee and drinks menu was long and very tasty. I will return.

      What cute little spot in U District (right across the street from the link station). Despite the day's winter freeze, it was sunny and a nice day to venture out into the city. I had an iced latte and a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, the works (you know!).
      It was chilly inside the shoppe but it was still cosy and enjoyable.

      One of my favorite cafes to study in around U District! It's small and cozy, hidden right behind Flowers. The baristas are super friendly as well!

      The croissant egg sandwich is one of their best selling items and comes with a variety of different customization options (some ingredients have added costs). The croissant is nice and flaky, providing a good contrast to the creamy scrambled eggs and fresh avocados. It's a great meal option if you're in between classes or having a study session with friends; but for $7-8, definitely an expensive one.

      The strawberry oat milk latte from their seasonal menu, on the other hand, totally surprised me! The natural sweetness of the fresh strawberries perfectly complements the creamy texture of the oat milk, creating a refreshing drink for spring. I hope this one becomes a permanent menu item in the future!

      Amazingly delicious butterscotch lattes! Omg one of the best lattes I've had. Now if I'm in the neighborhood I just must stop by. They close at like 2pm weekdays and 3pm Saturdays. Yelp didn't have accurate hours.

      Such a vibey little corner spot away from the hustle and din of the Ave in UDistrict! There isn't a whole lot of space and the tables are pretty small and cramped, so it's not the best kind of coffee shop to get work done or anything, but it's great for a quick chat over some brunch. The tables are decorated with custom messages over the years and have some interesting bits of history stuck between the glass.

      Staff works quickly and drinks are always yummy as expected. The bit of food isn't substantial, but pairs well with the coffee. Highly recommend the Avocado Toast -- it's hearty for its size -- and the Croissant Sandwich was pretty typical but dependable.
