Bright Spot

We dropped in for a quick coffee and got surprised by this hidden gem. Nestled behind a clean wooden counter and glowing under dreamy cloud lamps, the space instantly felt like a pastel wonderland — playful yet calming. What really made this place shine was the vibrant decor — walls adorned with whimsical ice cream cone sculptures and unicorn-themed art pieces that brought a quirky, joyful charm to the entire experience. Whether you’re popping in for a quick caffeine fix or need a quiet corner to relax, BrightSpot is a delightful find that instantly lifts your mood.

The owners nailed the atmosphere with this coffee shop! There are lots of families who visit Mt. Baker Park making it a great spot to bring the kiddos before heading to Mt. Baker Park. Our little loves the bright colored decor and mama’s can get their much needed caffeine. They have breakfast sandwiches, pastries and the coffee is always good. My 5 month old loves the ice cream cone wall! Will try the soft serve next time.

Their mushroom sandwich is SOOO GOOD! It’s a bit expensive at $14 for a pretty small sandwich (don’t expect to be full), but it is up there in the top 5 vegetarian sandwiches we’ve ever had across the world! So flavorful, and the bread is so soft and tasty!

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. All the food I’ve gotten has been great. I’ve come for a few hours for a change in scenery for remote work. There’s a good amount of seating, good WiFi, it’s not too loud. I love the colorful decorations. Parking is free and easy to find.

We often go there when we’re craving ice cream. They have vegan soft serve and coffee as well. A lot of places to sit and work if you want.

The food we had was good, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the cute interior too🦄 Their soft serve was also yummy!! Hope more flavors are coming🍦

Got a tasty chai and my husband got an espresso. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the bouquet of flowers I got that are a fundraiser for Northwest Harvest.

I placed an online order because I wanted to treat myself after having an intense workout session next door! It was my first time in, and I was really impressed with the color explosion and vibey art displays! I don’t know if it was the matcha, but I felt like this place has a special place in my heart now. Plus the forager sammy is quite exceptional! Flavors were very unique! I will be back to try out the other goodies!

Super fun interior with delicious breakfast sandwiches. I'm excited to return to try the other offerings on the menu, as well as try the coffee. I came on a Sunday morning around 11am, and while the place was busy there were still a few spots to sit. There's a surprising amount of seating for a small cafe.

Super cute cafe with tons of little items you can buy. I love the interior with bright colors and design- def a "bright spot" There were bakery and icecream options, which I would love to try next time Coffee was good!

This is a cute spot. Instantly makes you light up when you walk in. A good place to sit down and have coffee with friends. Service is quick and friendly. They also offer fresh baked pastries and soft serve

TLDR: lives up to its name, a nice spot to escape the Seattle rain Bright Spot has become one of my go-to work from home cafes in Seattle! If you're looking for somewhere to escape the cloudy rainy weather, Bright Spot is the place for you. After walking in, you enter into a colorful space with rainbow colors on the wall, a small shop section on the left for misc goods, and plenty of seating for hanging out or getting work done. Every time I've been here, the baristas are nice and friendly. I usually change up my drink order but so far, everything's been on point. The coffee is always super smooth and gives me that extra boost to get me through the day. Highly recommend!

Colorful. Bright. Childish. What I would recommend this place for is ice cream and basic coffee orders. This is the kind of place to take the kids and then go for a walk with your ice cream/coffee. What I wouldn't recommend is trying to do work here, there are limited plugs or they are in inconvenient places. Inside decor is very colorful with bright lighting, and the local art work displayed was actually one of my favorites I've seen. This cafe caters to the younger crew and doesn't radiate a mature vibe. Menu is a little pricey, but everything comes out fast. When you ask for a splash they let you self serve which was great. Baristas are kind. Didn't have anything that I feel like I need to come back for.

Amazing vegan soft serve! They had their vanilla flavor today and a blue corn cone. Perfect place for a summer treat! I'll be back to try more of their menu and I'll be back for the soft serve for sure!

Such a cute find! Inside is absolutely gorgeous with bright colors, amazing art work on display, and cute gift shop things to shop for. The coffee was also delicious and the staff were extremely friendly.

INCREDIBLE soft serve. I guess they make their own oat milk base and it is wildly good. Had the orange creamsicle with blue corn waffle cone and my partner had the vanilla affogato. Highly recommend, going to be making the trek on the regular!

Popped in for coffee and a light breakfast. It's a really cute spot with bright colors and plenty of seating. They have couches and tables which provide a nice variety of seating options. A couple people had laptops out so it seems like a nice place to hang out for a bit. We got drip coffee, breakfast sandwich, and croissant. Everything was really tasty. The staff were friendly and prompt getting things out.

the atmosphere here is to die for. super cute decor and art. also, the lady at the front was so sweet! the soft serve was pretty good and fun, not the best ive had but still worth a try if ur in the area

I only grabbed coffee so I can't review any food, but the coffee was delicious and my kiddos were delighted with the Italian Sodas. Lots of parking off the street, and plenty of small seating. Would not be a great place for groups!

Came here to get coffee and do some work while I eat a little breakfast and it's now my new favorite coffee shop. The ambiance is so cute. It lives to its name, Bright Spot. It has great energy and so cute in the inside, very bright and colorful. I enjoyed the meatless breakfast bowl, it was surprisingly very flavorful and I would order again. Service was great and I will now be a frequent customer.

Wanted to try a new place and was very happy finding bright spot. Delicious unique breakfast sandwich and the perfect matcha latte. Lots of places don't add enough matcha but this was the perfect level. Very friendly service too.

My friend & I went here for the first time & the food/drinks were so good! This place is bright & colorful, just beautiful. It looks like a nice place you could read/study. The girls that cashiered & made the food were very kind as well. I will definitely be back!

My cousin and I were headed to the Seattle Japanese Garden last Saturday but were looking for a coffee shop to hang out for a bit first. I wanted to find something on the way from my dad's in Rainier Valley. When I did. google search this cute shop popped up and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Such a cute shop we got here about 10:30 wasn't too busy. But I can see this is definitely a neighborhood spot for families. It is exactly a bright spot! Not only it's aesthetic but it staff and what they offer. They've been open since January I believe. The staff is friendly and helpful. And as soon as we walked around the corner on the outside we knew it was going to be a great spot such cute neon signs. The cloud light fixtures above the kitchen area that change colors, mural multi pastel color tables. It's a fairly large space lots of seating. They just happen to have one of my favorite local artists exhibiting Josephine Rice. We opted to share a couple pastries I like that they offer to heat them up for you. I also love that they have hemp as an alternative milk not every does or can do latte art with it. Definitely want to try their breakfast sandwiches next time. They make their cookies and vegan soft serve and make ice cream sandwiches out of them. They also carry a variety of retail items a great stop for someone looking for a small gift for a friend or last minute birthday gift for a child's birthday party. This place is bound to brighten your day!!

Yeeeeaaah..... so one of the most influential executive development chefs on the west coast just shadow dropped their god-tier coffee shop in Mt. Rainier. So yeah - full freak out. Full - on - freak - out. Order everything. Hurry!

Friendly customer service and really great coffee. The space is very cute and bright. I'll definitely be back here again to try their soft serve ice cream. I recommend this place if you're ever near the Mt Baker neighborhood.

Having lived in Seattle for 24 years (with 20 of them being near the Mt. Baker area) ... I've seen my share of coffee shops and I like different vibes in different neighborhoods for different moods. That's the beauty of our coffee scene. BUT.... Bright Spot feels like so much more than a coffee shop. I literally felt my serotonin spike when I walked in with the soothing pastel palette, whimsical artwork, velvet couches, ice cream cone sculptures and unicorns. It's not "kitschy" tho as it has an intentional and playful feel that vacillates between a dreamy ice cream parlor, princess birthday party, art gallery and a Palm Springs Deco daytime lounge that would seem to be as fun for kids as it is for "grown ups" . How they made it feel sunny in there when it's January 8th and we are in the depths of the dark days, I'm not sure... but they did! I loved my Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte and the egg sandwich with muhammara, labneh and arugula on a super soft roll and served by a very sweet human named Persephone! Before leaving, I checked out all of the fun items they had for sale in the retail area (really cool wrapping paper, gift tags, cards, waffle cones, party hats etc) I'm super excited for this new (to me) spot and wish them all the success! I'll be back for sure. Oh and alsooooo.... They have soft serve and I will definitely be trying an affogato in the near future! Well done, Bright Spot!!

such a cool and colorful vibe this coffeeshop has. It is bright and have enough space for large groups. people are nice here and coffee is good.

We had breakfast here twice within a week's visit and thoroughly enjoyed both. Pretty easy parking for Seattle and definitely lived up to its name. Food was delicious and friendly service. Would certainly return.

Absolutely delightful! The drinks & food, the warm & friendly service, the fun and bright ambiance make this a top spot for us. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed.

It has vegan options including their soft serve. Is family friendly, cute and quiet neighborhood coffee and tea shop. They serve some egg sandwiches and pastries too. Friendly and easy atmosphere.

I got a matcha latte and my sister got a chai latte, both were delicious! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the decor was very cute. Loved the bright colors and cute products to buy like dog treats, pins and wall hangings. Ok so my only issue was the mushrooms on the sandwiches, and I love mushrooms of all kinds all sorts of ways. The bread, arugula and spread were perfect, but the mushrooms were just too big I think or not cooked enough maybe? They were a bit chewy. I really wanted to like it but I was just so off put by the mushrooms. The bacon was also undercooked and a bit fatty, so skip adding that. I need to try just the egg and maybe that would be better. Also definitely recommend getting your pastries heated up. Thank you for a bright afternoon on a rainy day!

Cute and cheerful coffee shop in the Mt. Baker neighborhood. Friendly baristas and good coffee! They also had a small pastry selection on display. Got an 8oz latte and a 8oz vanilla latte, nice and strong. Both small lattes plus tip was $12 so slightly more expensive. Inside had a good amount of seating as well. Would definitely come back and I'll have to try their soft serve.

This space was so cute and bright, good for gloomy Seattle days. Plenty of table space and outlets, unsure if they have Wi-Fi so unclear If it would be good for working but definitely If you're meeting your friend. Coffee was fine and staff was friendly! Recommend if you're in mt baker.

I'm sitting here in complete shock. I just paid 25 dollars for two adult and one kids cone, which is outrageous in and if itself. Made significantly worse by the fact that the adult cones were literally child size. 8 dollars for a tiny vanilla ice cream, on a plain cone? Not even a waffle cone? Wow. I feel so ripped off I'm almost in tears. Never again. What a gigantic waste of money.

This was one of the most interesting and innovative breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. It is made on a ciabatta roll with harissa mayo, cheese, egg, arugula, and bacon. The egg is the most interesting part. My guess is that they beat the eggs, strain them to create a uniform consistency, and then bake a batch at low heat in an oven. They are cut into rectangles before being place onto the sandwich. The rectangle appears to be firm, but the texture is actually quite delicate and custardy. It is unlike anything I've ever had before. Highly recommend trying this sandwich. The service is friendly and quick, especially considering only two people were working while I was there. The ambiance and decor, however, is very interesting. It is clear that they're trying to make it look like a "bright spot" with a lot of colorful artwork and furniture, but a lot of it doesn't really together. Overall, I really hope this place succeeds, as what I've had of their food is delicious and that's all that really matters.

Despite looking like an IG-forward spot, this place was high quality in food/service! I also just adore this entire corner block of Mt Baker businesses. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning, which surprised me. There's a good amount of seating (though not comfortable for hours of coffee shop squatting). Very family friendly spot. I got the roasted mushroom panini, mainly to try their olive oil focaccia, which turned out to be delicious. Definitely bookmarked as a new favorite spot

The food is good. The service is fast but for my daughter and her friend's hot chocolate took about 20 minutes to make with no line and I recommend the food but not the wait. The soft serve ice cream is good but they change the flavors often but has kept staying the same and I have people in my family who do not like chocolate and blueberry the are allergic to both and some of the tables are mostly clean so it is hard finding a clean table. It is over priced for a chocolate chip cookie is like 5 dollars and to egg sandwiches are 30 dollars but the food is awesome I recommend the food

This place is amazing the food is great I come here in the afternoons so I don't know what the breakfast is the ice cream is really good and all the food is amazing. The food might be a little more expensive than it should be. The service is fast and the workers are really nice. The tables are colorful and there is nice art work and little things you can buy.

I love this cafe! The decor and ambiance is superb. The flashing cloud chandeliers always brighten my day, as do the incredibly welcoming baristas! They use herikmer coffee and every drink I've had has been delicious! I've also tried their soft serve and it's delicious as well. Bright spot is a great addition to the neighborhood, could not recommend enough!

Mostly rating on the vegan soft serve, the ambiance, staff friendliness, and all the little things for sale in the shop. This place is adorable and the staff is so friendly. I go every week or two to get a cup of soft serve, which is vegan and gluten free (ask in case anything changes, but atm I believe the base is Oatly, which is gluten free in the US). It's hard to find fun desserts with food allergies and even though they only have 2 or 3 at a time, these flavors are a big win. I really liked the blood orange and the blueberry especially. Staff also remade my huckleberry lemonade when I dropped it on my foot trying to get out the door when I was having a bad day and they are so friendly. I got a Beyoncé themed affogato (love on top, it had chili and cinnamon on chocolate soft serve) and it was amazing, keep the chili cinnamon for mochas in the winter please! The decor is basically rainbows and unicorns and I can't imagine anything cuter. Ideally I would love some more gluten free food options like a breakfast sammy but I know that's hard to keep safe in a small shared kitchen. But maybe packaged gluten free cookies to dip in the coffee? Nuflours brownies or something? They do have gf oatmeal packaged in cups so if I find myself there for breakfast and coffee, I know I'll have an option. Thanks for brightening my days :)

I love bright spot!! I live in the neighborhood and when I walked in I thought "eh it'll just be a cute kinda sub par place"...I was so wrong! The breakfast sandwiches are so good, and the egg is cooked incredibly well. I always get a matcha latte and love that it's not sweetened. The vegan soft serve is incredible and I love the flavored cones. The staff is always so nice and overall I just love this spot.

Totally overpriced and the only good thing there is the soft serve. Don't bother trying to get anything else. The service is always subpar. Way better places in Seattle.

Super cute spot! Easy and free street parking. Great menu with drinks, pastries, egg sandwiches, and vegan soft serve. I only got the soft serve and it was really good! They have fun sprinkles and specialty cones.The inside decor is clean, colorful, and bright. Staff was friendly. Such a great spot to work on your laptop or catch up with a friend.

Quaint, friendly coffee shop. Quiet and clean. Great coffee drinks and food. The staff is friendly and fast

The coffee is delicious, the staff friendly and attentive, and the place looks great - it's bright (duh!), inviting, and cheery. Such a great addition to the area.

Clean and bright, this place is a great addition to a very nice neighborhood. The service is fast and friendly and the food is really, really good. Bright Spot has a nice selection of coffee and tea drinks, and gourmet-level sandwiches and deserts. I can definitely recommend the egg sandwich with bacon. it comes delightfully seasoned, with a bed of fresh arugula under the toasted bun. My only regret is that I didn't have my 4-year-old mermaid/princess/fairy grand-daughter along on my last visit, because I know that she'd love the unicorn and rainbow decor. I'm looking forward to sharing a Unicone with her on a future visit. :-)

The coffee here is so good and the baristas are super sweet as they take the time to create your beverage. I love this place and we are so lucky to finally have another place to buy our morning beverage. The oat milk soft serve is also super yummy. The furniture is bright and pretty and the artwork is taking shape. Give it a try, you will be happy you did!

Really friendly staff at this adorable new spot in Mt. Baker! I am so glad there is a coffee shop in the mini business district there! Also I had the pear danish and it was delectable! I will say the prices are not cheap but that's the case everywhere these days it seems.

We have been so excited about this neighborhood coffee shop opening up! Soft serve, pastries coffee...what's not to love?? So far, the owners have been super involved (from what I can tell) and welcoming. I hope it is successful as the neighborhood is missing businesses like this. The coffee is fine, the pastries are fine (but very $$$) but...idk it's just sort of off? It's not very cozy. There was one incident where the front door was open, pekple were still waiting for coffee and all staff were there. It was 4:00 on the dot (closing time) and while I hate being that person who shows up at closing time, I also feel like a fresh business like this that's trying to really place a stake in the neighborhood needs to do better. The employee (who was still making coffees for folks waiting) pretty shortly told us that they were closed and to come back another time. Again, I get it. Staff have places to be. It just left kind of a sour taste in my mouth and I'll probably think twice before I go back. Which is too bad because it's so close. We are looking forward to the soft serve this summer!

So happy about Bright Spot! Great customer service, great coffee, and so much seating which is awesome. The shop itself is both beautiful and cozy. I am so grateful that they are in the neighborhood, it's already become a favorite.

Soooo excited to have this neighborhood joint open! They exceeded our expectations. The soft serve is delicious and we would not have guessed that it was vegan (made with oat milk). The decor is beautiful, charming and cute. The staff were all very friendly and inviting. Cannot wait to try their coffee drinks. We are destined to be regulars!

This is such cute neighborhood cafe. The staff and owners are lovely and welcoming. We are so excited to have them just across from the park

A great spot for meet-ups with friends and neighbors. Friendly efficient staff, good coffee... a wonderful addition to the fabulous Mount Baker neighborhood! A bright spot, indeed!

The name is fitting! The coffee shop is BRIGHT, warm, welcoming. Staff was friendly and helpful and to top it off the coffee and croissants were delicious.

We live in the neighborhood and wanted to support this business. While the ambience is fine and coffee good , the prices for food are crazy! We paid $15 for a half piece of dry toast with a spoonful of sun dried tomato, 1 piece of prosciutto arugula and a tiny amount of goat cheese. Adjusting the food prices would go a long way toward bringing us back to try them again.

we live right up the street and have been considering trying this spot for a while, today was the day. -The aesthetic is very cute and it is definitely a bright spot. -The food is overpriced, in my opinion, and quite underwhelming . The bacon on my sandwich was undercooked, and chewy. I would recommend skipping that and it costed an extra $3 on top of an already $10 egg sandwich. -the prices could be justified if they made some minor changes like using real cheese! instead of kraft singles. and not using so much filler in the eggs, my egg didn't really taste like an egg, but more like tofu, with a hint of egg flavor. -my chai tea was also extremely watered down. The flavors were all right but not tasty enough for me to finish even though I was hungry. I didn't finish the sandwich or the tea. -it is a great spot if you want a pastry and to chat with a friend but I don't recommend this for a coffee and breakfast sandwich if you're looking to fuel your day. all in all, I am kind of let down. I will try again in the future after they are open longer.

I'm so excited to finally find a coffee shop that's walking distance from where I live. Coffee is strong and food is delicious - I have to know how those breakfast sandwich eggs are made!
