Lassi & Spice SLU

"This Indian-influenced cafe with locations in South Lake Union and Fremont serves up variations on the classic lassi, a tangy-sweet Indian yogurt drink. Flavors range from blueberry cardamom to pistachio and the café serves up a number of snacks and Indian sweets to pair it with. Those lassis and an assortment of small dishes and sweet treats such as ladoo are available for takeout and delivery." - Alicia Erickson, Eater Staff

"This South Lake Union shop’s menu features a selection of lassis, chais, and coffee brewed from Indian-grown beans. The food menu is entirely vegetarian, and combines traditional flavors with modern interpretations. Standouts include the Mumbai sliders — potato patties with chutney on Hawaiian rolls — and mini samosas. There’s also a Wallingford outpost." - Megan Hill

"Your Order: Samosa Chaat or Vada Pav Sliders ($8.00) This coffee shop in South Lake Union makes for a great pit stop to pick up some pistachio lassi, and if you’re hungry, their samosa chaat is a pretty fantastic way to spend $8. It starts with an already delicious bowl of chana masala, and then they go and top it with mint chutney, yogurt, sev, and fried samosas. There’s a lot of crunch balanced with the creamy curry, and it’ll warm you up on a cold day better than a Canada Goose parka ever could. Another fantastic way to spend $8? Lassi & Spice’s vada pav sliders. Take your pick." - Aimee Rizzo

"If you want to grab an espresso drink flavored with cardamom or Bournvita (malted chocolate powder), Lassi & Spice is the coffee shop for you. But they also serve a small lunch menu with things like chana masala topped with yogurt and mini samosas. The best dish, however, is the vada pav sliders, which are potato fritters with mint chutney, peanut sauce, and a sweet and salty glaze on Hawaiian rolls that we’d happily bring to a Huskies tailgate. Everything here is less than $10, including the made-to-order pistachio lassi." - Aimee Rizzo
