The 19 Best Coffee Shops In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"C&P is a giant house, too—but it feels more like a community center we never want to leave. At this West Seattle spot, there’s antique furniture, bookshelves, a living room with sofas and armchairs where regulars flip through newspapers, and a backyard garden that you might mistake for a Bainbridge Island summer home if not for the “poetry tree.” The espresso is all from Lighthouse Roasters and the pastries are all from Macrina, which is as classic of a duo as Hall & Oates or Tim Robinson and self-deprecating humor." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

Good coffee, beautiful and charming space to enjoy by yourself. I went early in the day and it was quiet despite there being a few people. They have a great garden space out the back and a cute service window for dog owners to order their coffee through. My coffee had a unique flavor and had that bold coffee flavor I’ve been craving. They have some good morning pastries to choose from as well. I look forward to coming here more.

Absolutely fantastic neighborhood coffee shop with stellar ambience. Hosted in a converted craftsman house, it feels like you're invited into a friend's home and garden. A breath of fresh air compared to all the stripped minimalist hipster coffee joints in Seattle. 10/10!

1st time here & glad I came by. I enjoyed the live music, vegan scone & dairy free chai tea. It got really crowded on a late Saturday morning but everyone was friendly & made it all work so we're comfortable. Only suggestion is to provide the option of warm water or room temperature water.

C&P Coffee Company has (hands down) the most relaxing atmosphere -- their outdoor patio is unrivalled and almost makes you forget you're in a city. The interior is just as cozy, and they often have live music to accompany your visit. I've visited a couple times for coffee & a few times for wine and it feels like home each time I'm there.

Perfection! C&P is a West Seattle gem and one of my favorite “third places.” The coffee is great. Pastry options are delicious when you need a bite to eat. The indoor and outdoor seating options are comfortable and offer spaces for people who want to chat with friends and those who simply need a spot to read or work on their laptop. They also host live performances by a wide range of musicians. Saving the best for last, C&P’s staff are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Thanks C&P for everything you do for the people of West Seattle!

The cutest and most friendly coffee shop around!!!!!! The staff was so amazing and helpful . Their coffee and pastries 🍰 were super delicious. Definitely will come back as long as we are in town. This place is a must stop!

Excellent atmosphere and service! Neighborhood coffee shop out of an old home with eclectic furniture and great vibes. However, the coffee was a bit burnt (ordered a cappuccino and macchiato) tastes like the espresso machine hasn’t been cleaned in a while… or could be really bitter coffee beans.

delightful coffee! Pretty standard food options but not bad, just nothing to be too excited about. The patio is incredible and would highly recommend stopping here on a summer day, and the inside is just as cozy as well! Perfect spot to work on whatever that task is you’ve been trying to get done.

We had the pleasure of catering a birthday party at C&P Coffee Company on July 26th, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. The team, especially EJ and Pete, were welcoming, helpful, and just genuinely kind people. Pete went above and beyond to make sure we were set up for success. He walked us through what had worked well for other caterers in the past, and t made for a smooth, efficient service flow, even with a tight setup window. Everything was out and ready on time, and it never felt rushed. The whole vibe was calm, collaborative, and easy. It really makes such a difference when venue partners are this gracious and dialed in. We'd jump at the chance to work with them again!

I ordered a matcha tea. The barista asked me if I wanted milk; I asked for soy milk. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it had been sweetened without my having been asked. Usually in coffeehouses there is a counter to add milk, honey, etc. The barista did not offer to redo it. She simply said it wasn't too sweet--for her?! At $8 I was, frankly, quite disappointed. It tasted like a warm sweetened drank, the subtle taste was drowned out...

Everything I want in a coffee shop. Charming building, friendly staff, high-quality coffee, and warm and inviting space. The background music wasn't too loud and the temperature was perfect. West Seattle has a treasure in this little shop!

A little gem in West Seattle. C & P coffee is located on the main road of California with mostly street parking. It's a house converted into a coffee shop for the homie cozy vibes. You could also order a to go drink via the back side of the house. There was lots of space to work and free wifi. The staff was friendly and quick to make drinks. My chai latte was a classic standard drinks. Definitely would come back to do some work or have a coffee date to catch up with a friend.

This is the "nice" coffee place in the neighborhood. People were very nice and the space is comfortable, like someone's home, well because it was & the coffee & pastries were are good. Prices are kinda high, why 4 instead of 5 stars. It was $13.91 ($1 tip) for a coffee & a pastry

The Carmel latte are hot, quick and no fuss no messy nothing and she was done making it before I even left the register. Service was very quick, the house has a fresh scent and a nice but quiet vibe for early afternoon, I left before the band started. Will be back

This place is such a gem in West Seattle, and full of community vibes and live music some weekends. The design of the place hits home the community spirit, in the warmth of the staff and the layout, which makes you feel like you are in a house (which probably was converted) and has many nooks to work or relax. The garden in the backyard is beautiful and can be worked out of as well. From the worn hard-wood floors to the comfy seating, it's a great place to read a book or get some work done. I love the spicy mocha too! The other coffee drinks are wonderful as well.

The ambience of this cozy little coffee shop in West Seattle is very cute. A great place to take pictures to lounge and to do work on your computer. The coffee is also pretty good. I would say nothing that blows you away but decent coffee overall. The staff, however, that I experienced today was not very friendly nor helpful when we had questions about the menu. Usually when you try a new coffee spot and ask questions, the barista's are usually pretty helpful in guiding you on what to try. Not the case here. Unfortunately, no matter how cute and quaint this place is, I will not be returning. There are far too many coffee shops in Seattle to have to deal with anything less than great service.

This spot was really fun! Lots of outside eclectic spots to sit and hang out. Dog friendly, with a window in back for ordering outside. The inside is cute too. The barista was very kind and offered us dog treats for our pups. The lattes were good and they have a large selection of syrups to choose from.

This is such a cute little coffee place. I loved the variety of pastries available, I got a blackberry muffin and it was absolutely delicious. Also the people were so kind and prompt. And I absolutely love the different seating availabilities, outside in the back and front; as well as a side patio, and indoor seating as well. Now for the coffee review: simple and perfect. My drink is a doppio with a bit of steamed milk, so really hard to mess up, but the espresso they use was so smooth!! And a little honey in there, perfect.

A very charming establishment in a home setting. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, very calming. The staff was very friendly, supportive, kind and graceful. I made an embarrassing mistake by taking someone else's order without thinking. She gracefully brought me my drink without scolding me or asking me to pay for the wrong drink I took. The coffee was great.

Truly one of the coziest coffee shops in the greater Seattle area, will absolutely be coming back to work and just hang out. Tip: if you enter through the front, be sure to check around the back! Hidden huge garden area seating, a handicap parking spot, + 2 15 minute parking spots. A variety of indoor seating options (couches, tables, nooks) and outdoor (covered tables, garden seating, outdoor is dog friendly). There's a window for dog owners to order from, everyone else can order inside. All the basic coffee, tea, wine, beer, and snack options you could need + free Wi-Fi!

Apparently, ownership is ok with the kids they hire being just mean and rude to people who are hard of hearing / the disabled. Not a good look for a local coffee shop/ "community " joint.

Coffee is not good. The Carmel latte doesn't use Carmel sauce, they use syrup which taste artificial. Cafe vita Carmel latte is better. Had to throw it away immediately.

Adorable coffee house that is deceptively spacious. It literally feels like a house, it has different rooms, so feels a bit cozy. The counter is charming, feels a bit nostalgic, and they offer coffee drinks, of course, but other beverages too, including beer and wine. The staff is friendly and there is a decent stage area for open mics. My friends had this space rented out for a birthday party but I would definitely come back for an open mic, or just relax and work.

Such a cute spot in West Seattle! Rain or shine, you can sit inside and cozy up with a book (or stress about work, up to you), or you can sit out on the front or back patio and just do you with a cup of good coffee and bask in the sun. I usually order an oat latte and it never fails. The cold brew is spot on too. Everyone who works here is so friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Definitely recommend!

My son lives very close to this cafe so I go there quite often with my Grandkids. They love the hot chocolate with a sprinkle of peppermint - reminds them of Christmas. One of the times I visited it was snowing hard. The lady who worked there offered my her umbrella. Who does that - awesome!! They have great drinks and pastries. They have a lot of comfortable seating inside and outside to enjoy. Love this place

What I love about this place is that it seems to be a neighborhood stop and people don't go out of their way to come here. I certainly do. The seats are arranged to be more for socializing and collaborating, though there are amble benches for you to work independently both indoors and outdoors. It does get insanely crowded, and the only time it seems to die down are between 11am-1pm. They occasionally have day-time events. Coffee - average.

Service was not too friendly. Pastries were hit or miss, meaning one was delicious and another was bland. This experience is typical of businesses that often serve alcohol . Their clientele appears to be digital nomads and pensioners. They are dog friendly, if that is important to you. Coffee was average.

Meh, overated the only cool thing is that the community saved the house from demolishing. Snobby barista adds to the charm tho. Went for chai, they use Morning Glory out of WA. State I personally think Black Scotty is hands down way better! Oh and they don't "pump" they free pour so don't ask [insert snob attitude by barista here] the Chai was so bland had no kick at all.

Matcha latte with oat milk was good. Blueberry scone was amazing and not too sweet, with a perfectly crispy exterior and oh-so-soft fluffy interior! Rosemary ham biscuit was pretty good; I could definitely taste the rosemary but was also hoping to see more ham pieces (there were very few tiny pieces that I could see), so it seems the ham flavor is mainly infused into the biscuit. It wasn't as fresh (or didn't hold up as well) as the scone, so the exterior texture wasn't as crispy as I hoped, but the interior was still great--soft and fluffy and tasty. Very cool home-like decor. Fun place to work remotely!

Love the local community feel of C&P. You can expect to be greeted with a warm smile and genuinely asked how you are doing. During COVID, there's a path that leads you around to the back of the cafe where you can order coffee through a window. There are picnic tables and patio furniture with umbrellas spread out on the property so you can enjoy your coffee and treats appropriately socially distanced. I ordered an iced spicy mocha special latte. I was warned about the mix likely not dissolving/blending as well into the drink as the hot version; again, so thoughtful & caring. Heads up, there is construction happening on both sides of the property. Might be a concern if you are working remote or having a phone conversation. Regardless, my partner and I were able to stay here for an hour or two, using Wi-Fi and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Love this coffee spot! Great coffee and super friendly staff. They seem to know everyone. The ample amount of seating despite it not being a terribly big place is great!! Indoor, outdoor, doesn't matter it feels so cozy and a perfect spot to chill. And huge bonus - there's beer, wine & ciders!

I've been happily coming to C&P since I lived in West Seattle at the turn of the century and will return as long as they're in operation. Though much has changed in the area since then, this cozy house continues to be a welcoming place for a great cup of coffee. I recommend their spicy mocha in particular which is minimally sweetened so you can really appreciate the coffee itself, but you really can't go wrong with any of their espresso beverages. They also serve beer and wine among other NA options. I love the new-ish addition of the covered side patio with heat lamps so you can hang out with your 4-legged friends in inclement weather. Mostly street parking, but there are a couple of parking spots in back if you're lucky enough to snag one. Also a walk-up window off the back patio if you're just grabbing something quick to go.

I have a feeling that this place could be my new favorite dose of Latte and maybe one of Seattle's best hang-out spots. I like the indoor/outdoor seating areas. I tried the latte, and what a latte; well-balanced and delicious. There is so much love put into that cup. I would recommend that they custom-made their cups to make them unique as their taste.

There are several cafés/coffee shops within walking distance of my house but technically C&P is the closest so occasionally I will pop in for a beverage, but to be honest it's not my favorite place. In fact, it's my least favorite and one of the nearby places is a Starbucks. Is that saying a lot? I love that they have a lot of space to read/work/hang out and they host a lot of cool events like live music and the silent book club nights, but the staff just isn't friendly. At all. The disdain shown to non coffee snobs is palpable. They barely even offer a smile when I come up to order and offer no friendly pleasantries. Their menu is averagely diverse; offering options for people who can't do caffeine or need an alternative to dairy milk, (Like me) which I appreciate. They also have some gluten free and vegan pastry options in their pastry case. Their patios in the front and back are lovely in nice weather, as well. Maybe they are friendlier to die hard regulars but because they aren't nice I don't want to be a regular. Kind of a conundrum.

This is an old house and it definitely has a funky vibe (in a good way). There are many little seating areas, which make it feel more intimate than other coffee shops. Plus, there's a front patio and a back patio! I got a matcha latte, which was really tasty. Definitely want to come back for coffee!

I was visiting friends nearby and on a day to myself, was looking for a place to grab coffee within walking distance and found C & P. I loved the different areas for seating and the staff was patient with a newbie like me checking out the menu and pastries and figuring out what to purchase. I sat and enjoyed a drink and pastry on the patio and would have loved to come back in the evening to enjoy a drink and some music. Would definitely recommend.

this is a really good place, it is a rustic coffee shop, located in a turn of the century rustic hunting lodge, and they serve good coffee, and have live music. Not only does it not get better than this, these kind of places are quickly disappearing, especially with the fall out from COVID and small businesses who are not able to stay in business. Let' be honest, really honest, unless you want a landscape of Starbucks, not that Starbucks is terrible, and you want what originally was what coffee houses were all about, go here, give them your business, tip well, say nice things, leave a good review. Not joking - not mean to be funny - we are fighting for the soul of our city Go here, spend here, support here

Love the fact you can get Lighthouse Roasters coffee here, what a big plus that pushes an easy 4 star instead of 3 star for me. It's a very relaxing place to just read the paper, drink coffee and chat with the locals. There's a laid back atmosphere at C&P where there's plenty of character in the large wood tables that all seem to be antiques. They have some pastries here and you can get a chocolate croissant or a cinnamon roll or an other assortment of pastries.
