“ What a gem in the Georgetown area. My office is located across the street of Espresso By Design, so we would walk here for a coffee anytime we come into office. Last Christmas my company got us all gift cards. Before that I'm guilty of not stopping by. Once you walk in, you'll have a Narnia moment. I was not expecting a whole shop, I thought it was one of those drive-up coffee stands. What a wonderful surprise. They have a HUGE menu, so take your time. Their espresso is smooth and not bitter at all. I recommend any of their sandwiches, you can't go wrong. I'm basic and usually go for an americano with cream. Totally recommend for coffee with friends. Indoor and outdoor seating in their mini garden. Mini parking lot. Right next to the Seattle Design Center. ”
“ I had a super tasty and affordable egg & cheese croissant here the other day and I am eager to return. This is a Georgetown classic that's been around since at least the 1990's and I plan to get my coffee from there as often as I can. Owners are super friendly and it's a quiet, cozy environment. Reminds me of all the awesome cafes near NYU in Manhattan. ”
“ Stopped by this morning to grab a fresh iced Americano and a breakfast sandwich. Got a ham, cheese, egg on English muffin. The bread itself tastes like a whole grain, not the traditional white English muffin bread. But it was soft. Egg was thick and ham was warm, cheese melted. It was really good! Americano was nice and strong. Lots of options for a light breakfast or lunch, snacks, lots of options for different drinks and candies. Small space but lots of seating for a small space, indoor and outdoor. It felt very organized and clean. Love the location, plenty of parking. Friendly service, honestly I would come here for morning get togethers in the future with friends and such! Quiet, not a lot of traffic. Highly recommend for a local spot! ”
“ Love this place! I grab a HCL and bagel sandwich before work and the customer service is ALWAYS amazing! The food and coffee are perfect for a great breakfast! It's the cutest coffee shop tucked away on the side of SDC and I love walking over before work! ”
“ Tucked away in the Industrial area of Georgetown lays a quaint little cafe. Greeted by the owner upon entry with a smile and a good morning started my experience off great especially for a Monday morning and fighting Seattle traffic. I ordered a coffee, scone and got a bottle of water. The coffee featured is from Cafe Vita. Love Cafe Vita coffee so extra bonus points! The scone was delicious too. They have a full menu including breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, fruit, veggies, lunch sandwiches and soup. Breakfast is served till closing! Outside is a small herb garden and sitting area to be enjoyed during my next visit. What a little gem! ”
“ The staff is super friendly. They're very welcoming the moment you walk through the door which is always a plus because you don't get that very often in Seattle. It's a cute little shop with a few spots to sit. I'd like to mention this is more of a order and go kinda place or a quick place to eat and leave. It doesn't seem to be a spot to hangout for a longtime to study, so if that's what you're looking for I'd search for another coffee shop. Otherwise, the food is quick and easy to take on the go with you. The coffee come out blazing hot which I didn't expect and it was a nice surprise although I couldn't drink it for some time because it needed to cool down. I'd recommend coming here if you're in the area and want something quick to take with you for breakfast or lunch. ”
“ My favorite place to get a coffee in Georgetown! But the real attraction here is the Ciabatta Breakfast sandwich!!! So so good!!! I could eat one every morning but my doctor wouldn't be to happy with me? ”
“ This is such a cute little oasis in an industrial location. Their iced coffee is amazing and so smooth. There is a cute little garden with seating a some seating indoors as well. The service is friendly and prompt and there is plentiful street parking. It looks like they have a pretty good cafe food selection as well. ”
“ Lovely spot with some indoor and outdoor seating. The rooftop was closed when we went in on a Monday morning. The server was so friendly and prompt. We ordered a small mocha and a hazelnut latte - both were very well made and hit the spot. The Turkey sandwich was fresh and well made, and we devoured it while sitting outdoors and taking in the morning air. We'll definitely be back to try one of the breakfast burritos and more drinks - it was such a pleasant experience. ”
