Upwell Wine & Coffee

What a cool new luxury dining spot. Oh yeah and they have wine. Lots of it. You can even buy bottles to bring home. Rabbit dish was my favorite. I know. Sounds bad but so good. Chef makes great madeleine dessert too. Owner Chris very friendly. Can’t wait to try their breakfast and lunch.

This is my 3rd visit (2 breakfast, 1 dinner) and I have to say the entire experience is amazing! I crave the delicious smashed avocado & Burrata toast - fresh, tasty and fulfilling. Coffee is always top notch and today’s special was not only beautiful in presentation including an edible gold leaf on top, but absolutely delicious - a carrot cake inspired latte! Dinner and wine is amazing too - this is becoming a “go to” for me in the junction! Oh- and service is always amazing!

Great new spot on the junction for food and drinks! My husband and I went with our baby (kid friendly) and had breakfast there. Highly recommend the avocado toast. We also went for drinks and dinner around 4pm and the food was phenomenal. We got two appetizers and two plates which was more than enough food. The chef clearly spent time in fine dining and it is incredible that there is a master sommelier at the restaurant. The menu rotates weekly and this vibe is something West Seattle needed! I would highly recommend it for a date night or outing with friends

I had such a great experience here. I worried about the evil eye, as my friend and I came in an hour before close on a Tuesday. We were the only ones there. Instead we were treated like highly valued customers and friends. Our server was serious and intentional in giving us a great experience and lots of his time and attention. Between the two of us, we tried 3 different red wines by the glass and we both found them to be above and beyond the wine we would get at restaurants, including nice restaurants! I couldn’t help but get a bottle on my way out, as my trust in their selection was high! We will Be back soon and I am only regretting not visiting them before now. What a neighborhood gem.

Great spot! Such a convenient walk from my apartment building and with a lovely assortment of hot teas. The sweets in the case are always extraordinarily delicious looking!

A fun & enjoyable spot — the orange wine from Greece was so good — the baked goods look so tasty as well!

This is a gem of awesome wine and coffee bar. Love the wine tasting menu, such a quality and thoughtful selection of wines across the globe and excellent choice of bar food. I highly recommend for bring your date and group to this place. The service is superb, Chris is awesome along with all the staff. You can tell they are genuinely knowledgeable about everything, and happy to be there, and making the experience like a conversation between friends. This has become my go to spot to source my wine and unwind.

Nice vibe and drinks. It would be better if the black sesame krispy could taste more sesame-y!

Upwell Wine & Coffee is showing it has potential, while it's still finding its rhythm the atmosphere is definitely a step above the big chains, and it's nice to have a local spot in West Seattle trying something different. The coffee and snacks are above average, small batch foods are a bit hit-or-miss depending on the day. Service is friendly and personal, which is always appreciated. Later in the day, the wine selections are solid, and the staff is helpful with recommendations.

I was running an errand out towards Fauntleroy. However, before picking up West Seattle Freeway to 99 North to head back to Shoreline, twice I detoured to check out Upwell Wine & Coffee on 11/10/24 and 11/22/24. This neighborhood gem has been open since July and uses a winning formula that has worked for other similar businesses throughout Seattle. Examples that include Fable, MoRA, Layers, Cardoon, Sound & Fog, Bar Bayonne, Baskette and shuttered ones I remember fondly like Vif and Petite Soif. The formula includes being a welcoming and knowledgeable destination. Upwell also allows one to leisurely savor a well crafted beverage or pour with tasty sweet and savory bites, bonus if there's scratch made baked goods! Until 3pm it functions as a cafe and at 4pm it changes focus towards wine. I liked the layout, vibe (great music), striking flower arrangements, and pleasant counter service on my first visit on 11/10/24. I enjoyed onsite a mocha, a moist slice of orange cranberry pound cake, and a flavorful rosemary ham puff pastry. Very pleasant! My second visit on 11/21/24 was right at the time transition, so I ended up getting a mocha to go. This was totally spot-on with a longer than normal drive back home due to the traffic and inclement weather. Terrific find!

Was in the area and decided to pop in! Best decision I could've made because the ambience, service, and food/beverages were amazing! Loved the Mushroom and Hazelnut Puff paired with a classic latte. The coffee tastes high quality and made very well. Will definitely return!

Very cool spot that's cafe until about 3 and then wine bar in the evening. I showed up post bar transition so I had a delicious and unique sparkling tea and the manchego plate. The service was FANTASTIC here. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about anything and everything. They also do tastings on Tuesdays at 5, which was cool. I'd def come back and I'd like to try their cafe menu sometime.

The service was friendly and attentive, the ambience was upscale casual and small, the avocado toast was something special, the chai latte was just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Wish it was more affordable but that's just how it goes these days.

Really yummy decaf coffee here. The avocado toast totally exceeded my expectations. The customer service was solid. The atmosphere and decor was great too. Can't wait to go here again.

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. This is not a deal breaker but music is a bit too loud to enjoy a conversation. Presentation is lovely and food tasted fresh and good.

Great coffee and puff. Brought my kid home a Nutella rice krispy, it was a huge hit and a good laugh as she could barely fit it in her mouth.

What a great experience visiting this new wine bar! Wonderful service, staff, food and wine!

Limited selection of food and coffee isn't so great here. Customer service was decent and the atmosphere was cute. I don't think I recommend this place and that I'll be back here again.

Good coffee with a nice ambiance. Service was great. The only downside is there is very limited seating

Phenomenal selection of wines and tasty snacks! Our server Avery was incredible, very kind and knowledgeable. Will be back!

Charming and cozy space with sociable atmosphere and attentive staff. We came for a glass of wine but stayed for dinner. Many delicious surprises on the menu, where classics (right up the valley for my famished 14-years old) met sophistication (such as shallot jam served with insane cheeses). I could tell how much effort and attention to detail was put into our meals. The wines were most surprising, tailored by expert advice and way exceeding expectations. Looking forward to come back for coffee (Herkimer coffee beans are our favorites) or lunch.

Awesome new place! We were there early afternoon, great cappuccino and delicious sweet treats. The space is modern and inviting. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Excited to try their extensive wines and evening snacks next visit. They also have refreshing mocktails and some local beers.
