A Muddy Cup Cafe' & Roastery

"The atmosphere is excellent. It’s cozy in the winter and has a little outdoor/backyard oasis in the summer. It has cozy seating, a large collection of vintage frog figurines and other critter decorations, gluten-free treats like brownies from Nuflours, and a wide variety of dairy-free/vegan milk options. All the staff are great and the drinks are delicious. It’s the kind of weird & wonderful hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that seems to be getting more rare by the day. They also sell tie dye frog t-shirts for the discerning connoisseur of fashion."

"I’m so glad I broke my foot, because it led me to the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had, and permanently changed the trajectory of my life forever. Let me explain. I visited the orthopedic center down the street after an eventful night out which ended in a broken bone. How the bone broke, I do not recall… After my appointment I decided to hobble my way to the coffee shop for a pick-me-up which I literally needed. I was charmed by the lovely decor inside and out. I got a hemp milk latte. It took me back to my college days, the only other time and place I had ever been able to order a hemp milk latte! I knew then that I’d be coming back. I decided to buy beans for my family before I drove back home to Montana for Christmas. I got my parents a bag of the Ethiopian because I knew they liked a light roast. I did not know then what I now know about Ethiopian coffee… I did not know anything about coffee, in fact, other than the fact that I enjoyed coffee that tasted burnt. When I got home for Christmas and my dad opened up his beans and made me a cappuccino on his Rancilio Silvia with the Ethiopian coffee. And it blew me away. That was the best coffee I had ever had in my life. That was the day my life changed forever. I had to come back to A Muddy Cup. I had to buy more Ethiopian coffee. And… I made a decision. After years of debating on if spending the money was worth it… the time investment, the learning curve, the hundreds of dollars in accessories, the pretentiousness… I finally decided that yes… it was worth it. I finally decided to buy my own espresso machine. Thank you, A Muddy Cup. I will continue buying your beans in honor of my journey, from broken foot to the best cup of coffee in my life, to hopefully making myself the best coffee of my life every day, in your honor. Thank you."

"A creative corner thats small parts quirky, creepy, and very, very cozy, like falling into a narnia closet of warm nostalgia and finding a truly excellent warm cup of coffee waiting for you. It's shocking quiet within, freed from the outside noise and given only to its own atmosphere. I could see the outside accomodations delightful on a warm day, as much as the inside was inviting on the rainy one during which I discovered it. It was fun to lounge in a corner, listening to the very friendly barista chat up their regulars. It's clear this place operates with as much heart as it has character. A true gem."

"Very cozy coffee shop with some outdoor seating as well. The coffee was good. It’s a great place to hang out or get some work done!"

"What do they say - the vibes are immaculate! There is cozy indoor seating or refreshing outdoor seating, take your choice! If you’re deciding which coffee shop to go to, this should be on your list of places to try! Whether you live here and want a go-to cozy spot or are visiting Seattle and have a list of places to try."
