Giddy Sloth Cafe

Me encanta Giddy Sloth Cafe! One of the only (if not only) Costa Rican places in the city, Giddy Sloth is slangin' some seriously delicious coffee, breakfast sandwiches and sweets. Carlos the owner is as nice and helpful as they come and informed me that they roast all their single origin Costa Rican beans in-house! I highly recommend the Tapa Dulce Latte - not too sweet with a unique flavor. Go for the croissant bread for your breakfast sandwich (so buttery, so good) and get all three homemade condiments on it - you won't be disappointed. Though I am fond of the tamarind ketchup. Go for broke and get the Tamal de Elote - like a mochi dessert but wow, such flavor. Can't wait to come back here!

Are you searching for a different experience than the big brands and bringing some authentic Costa Rican coffee into your life? Don't go any further than Giddy Sloth to try something new and pair it with a tasty homemade dessert or pastry. The team will help you find the right fit based on your caffenated needs. They offer a wide variety of styles from traditional drip to pour over.

It is our first time in Giddy Sloth and the owner was wonderful in knowledge of coffee and making our experience here memorable! We were passing by and stopped by to visit a friend. We highly recommend for coffee lovers to visit as he has unique coffee blend from costa rica !

Really cute little shop and the owner was behind the counter when my friend and I came here this morning. Really lovely personality and super helpful and enthusiastic. I think I overheard from a convo he was having w some regulars that his name is Carlos and honestly I hope this place has a long run since it seems like a cozy and well loved little neighborhood gem! If I lived in the area it would definitely be my go-to, but as it is I’ll just have to stop by whenever I’m in the area :) Thank you for the delicious drinks, food, and warm visit!

We came in for a coffee but ended up getting several things and everything was delicious!! Their coffee is very smooth and tastes great, and their sandwiches are the best! They make them in house, I highly recommend trying them. Service was also great and friendly. There is a small indoor seating space and quite a bit of seating space outside too!

The coffee is awesome. The owner, Carlos, is super kind and knowledgeable. The price is great for what you get. Best new coffee spot in North Seattle without a doubt.

This small coffee shop has a charming vibe and serves tasty food, but the cramped interior makes it difficult to relax or even stand in. Coffee was fine, but the employee couldn’t make a few of the drinks listed on the menu which she was honest about so we ordered something else.

Friendly barista!! Their coffee and pastries taste great!! Barista told me that they make own dark chocolate sauce for mocha, which was so yummy :) Giddy Sloth specializes in 100% Costa Rican coffee beans. Service was also great and friendly. There is a small indoor seating space. They said they are working on installing the customers’ wifi!

Giddy Sloth is a new coffee shop that is badly needed in the area, but also a wonderful, friendly establishment. The owner and his girlfriend are always kind and happy to serve a mix of Costa Rican coffee and pastries. Carlos the owner is passionate about coffee and brews new beans all the time. Having tried a few of his samples (and purchased some as well) it is neat to see what he comes up with next. The vibe of the place is great, and we never go away disappointed.

A really sweet spot with friendly service, excellent Costa Rican coffee, and a small selection of empanadas & cookies. They also offer sandwiches on their lunch menu, but we'd just eaten so stuck with coffee and small snacks this visit. Pretty much standing room only inside, but there's outdoor seating in the courtyard. Lucky those who live right upstairs from this gem of a coffee shop because parking can be difficult. Even so it's 100% worth the trek.

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Located below newly built apartments, with cute outdoor comfy seating for 3-4. Inside had a few seats as well. I met a friend for coffee and enjoyed the unique Costa Rica pour over (chorreado) experience and delicious guava pastry. The coffee was smooth, earthy, fresh, and unlike anything I've had before. The pastry was flaky and not too sweet. Try it warmed.

Really fun coffee options!! I got the coffee tonic which is an espresso, tonic, with passionfruit and honey. It changed the way I think about coffee. Super good. My partner got the Tapa Dulce (cap), the guy was super nice and made him a cappuccino style after he mentioned he loves capuccinos (so nice!) and it was absolutely delicious. This is what I crave now that hot cocoa has become too sweet for me as an adult. The milk foam is super yummy. Their sandwiches have some really fun condiments like tamarind ketchup and passion mustard. They were super good and apparently made in-house. They have a few seats indoor and a small bench and table set right outdoors next to the courtyard. Very pleasant and shaded. Glad to see these guys in the neighborhood! Will be back!

We're a couple of Kiwi (New Zealand) coffee snobs. And the coffee here is awesome. Perfect roast. Asked for an 8oz and the barista happily obliged. Forgot the pic of the coffee and guava turnover before we polished them off....so good. However...this salted chocolate cookie is phenomenal and matches the coffee perfectly. Highly recommended. Oh...and they have puppy treats. Happy dog!

The bad: they have 0 sugar free syrup options for their drinks. They also don't even have regular (sugared) vanilla syrup of any kind. (What kind of coffee shop doesn't carry vanilla??). The space is also incredibly cramped- there's only room for 2 people to stand inside (uncomfortably). The good: the latte I got was surprisingly (considering no sweetener) incredibly good.

Delicious coffee and delicious sandwiches! I recommend the tapa dulce latte and a sandwich with croissant bread it's sooo good. The people who work there are very nice and friendly, definitely my new favorite spot :))

Was so excited to see this new spot opening up close to me! Barista stated the espresso machine was having issues when ordering and that it might take a while. Waited 15+ minutes for the coffee and it was sadly such a disappointment.. i sadly will not be returning. If your machine wasn't working I would have rather been turned away and returned some other time.

I've never been somewhere that more fits the definition of a hidden gem. Very 'hole in the wall', small, family owned place with minimal seating, but incredible coffee, food, and baked goods.

Delightful in every way. Delicious food, friendly service, and the best coffee in the neighborhood by a long shot. (Or a short shot, if you prefer.)

Small shop with huge ambience, friendly vibes, great baristas, and delicious pastries. Unique and high quality coffee, great service, and expertise. This is well worth your time if you're a coffee lover or a lover of unique experiences. I do wish there was more space to sit and enjoy such fine wares, but they more than make up for it with their knowledge and amazing products. Highly recommended.
