Makeda & Mingus 153 North 78th Street, Seattle, WA 98103

"Breve, Ristretto, and Americano was $15 and 20% tip makes $18 total. If an Americano is $3 that makes the Breve $6-9 and Espresso $6-9. Hmm. Well, for the quality of the coffee and foam it was worth it IMO. However... *duhn duhn duuuhn!*... the cafe is very, very dirty. And I don't mean dirty as in there's a little dirt from doggos here and there, I mean it's covered in layers of dirt, grime, Infinity Gauntlet dust, dog hair, and what I'm assuming is literal hippie granola. In complete honestly I was worried about bed bugs after sitting down on the cushions (yeah, that level of yuck). I say that in the kindest way possible because the trainee Barista was supes nice and made a mean espresso (with the added difficulty of explaining a hemp milk breve to the barista and the owner [who was as dishy as ever]). But, the ambiance inside the cafe was closer to a homeless encampment than a cafe. Went here almost daily a decade ago and sadly my standards have risen to where I refuse to risk an incurable disease just to get my morning coffee, no matter how good the foam, beans, or espresso is. Location needs a nuclear level cleaning and redecorating. But again, fantastic coffee."

"The vibe in here was the best, very chill. And the coffee was soo good! Very nice barista as well !!"

"Nice, dog-friendly (say hi to Mingus) spot with cheerful staff tucked just off the arterial (push through the neighbors' brunch line and enjoy some better coffee and eavesdrop or participate in the chatty locals' shop-spanning discussion). Options and interesting concoctions abound. Available single origin espresso make for a delightfully novel treat on occasion."

"Amazing coffee shop. Great coffee options! Lots of room for kids to play. Good place to sit and ready and have time to self. Prices match budget. Happy happy!"
