"Cortona Cafe — a cozy spot known for serving Herkimer roasts, as well as a solid selection of snacks, including tiramisu waffles — announced its closing up shop permanently at the end of November after 11 years in business. Owner Isolynn Dean told the South Seattle Emerald that impacts from COVID was not the primary reason for the decision. She’s soon moving to Georgia to pursue a career in agriculture, and has chosen a successor that she feels will be good stewards for the community hub — Melo Juice co-founders Hanan Hassan Diriye and Ambrosia Austin will eventually take over the space, creating an offshoot of their popular juice shop, while also keeping some of the Cortona staples (such as the waffles)." - Gabe Guarente

My daughter and I had breakfast here Friday morning and will definitely be coming back. The owner was sweet and made us feel so welcome while providing great food and service. The waffle was easily the best Belgian waffle I've ever had, and the drinks are amazing. Great selection of non-dairy milk alternatives too, which we appreciated. So happy we found this spot.

Lovely cafe in a quiet neighborhood. The coffee was amazing and they serve great breakfast too (try their ham and cheese quiche is so light and fluffy!).. tasteful decor with outdoor seating.

Cortona is my favorite small business in the neighborhood. They have delicious food, excellent espresso, friendly service, and patio seating. Best of all, they're dog friendly and have a jar of free puppy treats inside and a water dish outside.

Great coffee and waffles in a nice down to earth atmosphere. Only real complaint was that coffee was served in a plastic cup. Not a lot of character to that presentation.

We had a delicious Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream.

Such a cute coffee shop on the corner of 25th and Union. I ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and it was DELISH! Coffee was yummy too!

The coffee was tasty! The tiramisu waffle was less sweet than expected and had a strong coffee taste, which I really loved. I also had iced tea which was perfect. They have a great tea selection. The people working there were super friendly and welcoming. Right now they have a walkup window and some outdoor seating. There were only a few other people there, so we were able to sit 6ft apart. I will definitely be back!
