"Nice new coffee house with great espresso and a fun Star Wars / Star Trek art theme - and a notice at the checkout that "Imperial credits not accepted here". But the fun doesn't outdo the coffee, these folks know their stuff. I'll be back."

"Super cool little sci-fi cafe with good seating and multiple outlets available for working with a laptop. Very good lattes. On a Saturday afternoon, business seemed to ebb and flow, not too busy but not too quiet. I found it to be a nice place to work for a few hours with cozy ambience and limited distractions. Easy to find free street parking on the road behind the cafe. Dog friendly."

"Magnolia’s long awaited sci-fi cafe exceeds expectation! Delicious Herkimer coffee and Macrina pastries accented by fabulous sci-fi decor. Fortunately all signage is in both English and Aurebesh (Galactic Basic). This is the way!"

"The newest coffee shop in our neighborhood was good for a quick morning bite on a rainy Sunday morning. The staff was nice and hand delivered our coffee to our table. We ordered two pastries that were not warmed, so they were a little dry but tasty. The barista seemed to be training, so we were done with our pastries by the time we got our coffees. My latte was good, but the Americano was a little watery, so ask for an extra shot. The design of the shop is definitely worth a trip in. It was really fun if you're a Star Wars or Star Trek fan. There was even a Dr. Who shout-out. We'll definitely try it again."

"This is such a great coffee shop. The coffee is excellent, the pastries are very good (Macrina), the owners and staff are wonderful and friendly. It’s a calm vibe with a unique and refreshing atmosphere inside. Very clean and well kept, you can tell care is put into keeping it that way. The decor is so cool and wonderfully done. We just started visiting and have already decided we want this place to be our regular spot. Such a great addition to the neighborhood and Seattle. Highly recommend."
