Visiting the town and I loved the taste of coffee! Local businesses with delicious coffee!

I came here and plugged in for a little bit on a Monday morning and it was mostly quiet. There's WiFi, a good amount of outlets, and a little bit of seating (not a huge place). My plain latte was a 10/10, so every espresso drink must be good based on that. They had a good little selection of sweet and savory pastries in the case. I had their veggie quiche, which was huge (bigger than any coffee shop quiche I've ever had, and not more expensive). It was baked to order, very satisfying, had a thick and rich crust, and decent flavors inside. I'd rate it 7/10. I'd be happy to come back, and this place definitely checks off the boxes for any coffee lover.

Although Seattle does have a bustling coffee scene, The Scene earns its name as THE place to get your coffee in this city. Their coffee has always been top-notch, and not burnt like so many other places. Their food is fab They are community-centered. Their staff is always friendly and sets the vibe. Love this place and it's my favorite place to get coffee and support local business, hand's down!

I had a divine matcha latte with hemp milk, which was paired with a scrumptious house-made biscuit. I highly recommend giving this place a try; they won’t disappoint!

Stopped here for some coffee they even had some drinks already crafted with oat milk which I love! I got a drink with cayenne and cinnamon and it was so good my husband stole it from me. The music was awesome and the vibe was easy going. I already added this place for whenever I pass through town.

Wonderful service the owner is so nice. I got a cold brew coffee with oat milk it was perfect. The place is cute and we got to sit for a bit look at the art listen to good music and enjoy a calm welcoming vibe with good coffee. They also have delicious scented candles made by the owners friend. A place you must stop by!

Great coffee and comfortable atmosphere. I enjoyed the seasonal latte and the staff was friendly. I didn’t try any food on this visit but would like to on a later visit.

Love this spot! I’m gluten free, and they have my favorite marionberry jam pastry. The music is subtle and lively. It has a great neighborhood feel!
