Hidden gem right by the airport. Will be my go-to spot when visiting seattle. Such friendly staff. The owners are great and they recommend excellent suggestions on drinks. They don’t rush you when you’d like to order. I love the personal connection they offer & tourist recommendations. Prices are fair & coffee is awesome. Interior of the shop is small and cozy. Parking is available behind the building.

Cute little coffee shop inconspicuously tucked close to SEATAC airport. They sell Yirgacheffe beans, roasted and unroasted. They also use them in their drinks. Fun and conveniently located.

This is a hidden gem right down the street from the rental car pick up — definitely a great ‘first stop’ after you land at SeaTac. I got a cappuccino that was perfect (and a great price)! The parking kinda sucks but worth the hassle for a fantastic cup of coffee.

A relatively inconspicuous place, even though it's right down the street from the light rail station and not far from SeaTac airport. Very small building, but really welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Parking is limited and I ended up having to park across the street. No big deal. I had an iced caramel Americano and it was perfect. I also picked up a cheese danish and it was exceptional. I'm lucky enough to live close by, so this might be my new spot.

Just found the best little coffee shop in the SeaTac area!! Walked in and was instantly greeted with a hello and smile. Great customer service I would say! I ordered a white chocolate mocha and it was just how I like it…..flavor of coffee and white chocolate syrup. Not full of watered down milk and powdered flavor. They had a pastry case and as I was standing there I couldn’t help but get warm almond danish. It did not disappoint! They do not have a drive thru but I think that ads to the service and personality of the place. There is plenty of parking right behind and felt plenty safe. I will definitely be back!!

Agree with the many other reviews. The fresh roasted Ethiopian beans make the best Americano anywhere! Strong, robust, real flavor! The only place I know where you can still get one for 3.50. The service is friendly and fast.
