this is the heart of local: a great family run shop that offers outstanding coffee, handmade delicious fare and great wine/beer options. The staff is top notch, swing through and say hi!

Best coffee on Alki. Granted, that's not hard to do. But great beer selection and food as well.

Great location! Really close to the beach and they have a nice variety of drink offerings. They have baked goods and sandwiches but we didn’t try those this visit. Good local option close to the beach.

Perfect views and always good drinks and food. The golden milk is wonderful. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and the pastries look amazing. Right across from Alki beach.

Can’t beat the location! A great selection of coffees, breakfast/lunch sandwiches & house made sweets. A great stop along Alki Beach! The place is filled with both locals & tourists!

Cute little coffee shop on Alki. It's winter now, and this is the perfect place to be cozy inside and look out at the sound while you enjoy a hot beverage. Visit after a brisk walk in the damp to make it extra cozy. Great pastries and excellent coffee. Order at the back door then come in to relax.

What a delightful little place! Perfect beach-town vive right here in West Seattle. The staff knew what they were doing and the drinks, sandwiches and mini donuts were all wonderful at a very reasonable price.

I have enjoyed every visit! Great coffee, tasty food, and a ton of really good sandwich options. I love that this cafe has small pastries AND actual sandwiches - everything you need! They also have a really large drink menu, with tons of special drinks, syrups, and alternative milks. I enjoyed an Oahu Coconut Cold Brew, and my partner had a Salted Caramel Breve. I love stopping here any time I am at the beach!

This is the type of place you probably wouldn't stop at if just driving. It looks like a shake on the beach, which is totally appropriate for the location. The biscuits are amazing, some of the best we have had in Seattle. Latte's are nice as well. Takes a minute to get used to the ordering, walk up to the back door and order through the door and then pickup in the small dining area. Great place for breakfast with ocean views.

Decent drip coffee and these mini donuts!! They are so fun. Some hearty breakfast solutions right off the sound. Great parking in the am or over night near by.

Nice little coffee shop on Alki. Stopped by on a rainy day and got their lavender latte. The latte was good. My friend ordered a cold brew and found it okay. I enjoyed my latte and will stop by to try their chai some day soon. They do have sandwiches and some food options which i did not try. Enjoyed my lavender latte though.

Great little coffee shop by the beach with small but cozy seating area for relaxing solo or with a small group. Gets busy in the weekend mornings, but can't beat that view.

The cafe faces the foggy alki beach and there are outdoor seatings looking into the sea or sky. Drinks and snacks are great to give you some warmth to hang out in this beach down. Neighbors are often frequent locals and wandering visitors. Good stop ! They are dog friendly too.

Great little coffee, beer, and wine shop on the beach. The staff is friendly, drinks are good, and their pastries are great. Good views and ample seating. The line can get long on sunny weekends.

Wish they had gluten free and vegan food options! Otherwise the location is great (across from the beach) and their signature lattes are worth a try. Limited seating inside and some outdoor seating.

Good quality food and coffee at a good price. Location is hard to beat! Service was a little slow for how not busy it was earlier on a Saturday morning so I would probably avoid it after 8-9a when it gets busy. Definitely coming back!
