72nd Street Cafe

Really good coffee– Middle Fork, great service and delicious breakfast sandwiches wish that if come here more often while we are still living in the neighborhood! Also very quiet so you escape the long coffee lines elsewhere

I stumbled to this place while waiting for a friend. It’s a little hidden. They have good service and coffee! Be coming back again!

This is another hidden gem coffee places around greenlake area. Very limited seating space inside, however the is good, not the best though. This location is pet friendly.

Hole in the wall that is easily missed. There isn’t much signage and we almost missed it when looking for it. The atmosphere is perfect for a book or studying. There are couches and small tables to get comfy at. The coffee tastes great and there was the sweetest barista this morning. I got a mocha and everything bagel with cream cheese. Both were good.

Stopped in here on a late weekend morning a couple months back to grab some coffee and breakfast before sitting by the lake. We ordered two paninis and an americano (no drip, which is understandable if it’s a very slow day). The americano was definitely quality, and the paninis were delicious (though a little heavy on the sauce/​dressing), but the service was a bit off.
We were the only two people in the café, with one person working. We ordered one of the paninis with added bacon (an extra ~$ 1). Once we sat down to wait, the person working called over to us that she forgot to charge us for bacon. I thought she might comp it since we’d already gone through the transaction and signed our receipt, but we made up the difference in cash.
I understand that with only one person working, things take longer (I’ve run a café floor solo quite a few times), but we waited an extremely long time. Right before we left, I noticed that my bag didn’t contain the apple side that the menu listed as coming with it — when I let her know, she handed me a whole apple. I’m not able to eat apples whole, but after waiting, I didn’t want to ask her to slice it.
I might try this place again if we’re near the lake, but my first experience wasn’t all that welcoming.

Best neighborhood café. Great sandwiches and Hannah is a gem! Be sure to stay a while and listen to the selected music.

This is a great place with great service. Its small but cute. It’s a must visit if you like coffee, food, dogs or friendly service. The barista on Saturdays and Sunday’s is the best! Highly recommend it (especially the deluxe grilled cheese panini).

Delicious food and drink! I’ve tried a couple different drinks here and they’ve all been wonderful; I can also vouch for their tasty grilled cheese sandwiches. Staff has been very friendly every time I’ve visited.
The only thing keeping it from a 5-​star review is the speed of service. I know this isn’t fast food or a convenience store; however, every time I’ve visited, I’ve been the only one in line (sometimes only one in the store) and still had a several minute wait to get my food and drink, much longer than it should take for a single beverage or sandwich.
Still a hearty recommendation from me overall! Love the quiet vibe of the store– nice oasis of calm in the often-​busy Greenlake area.

This is by far the best place to have coffee! I’m obsessed with this coffee shop and the people!
Service — the service here is amazing the girls are great! The place is always clean & quite with good music, very arty and comfy.
Coffee — the coffee is fantastic. I personally have trouble drinking hot coffee, but I can either order hot or cold and it still turns out yummy.
Food — the food is delicious, I enjoy «Sues Homemade Irish Stew «in the winter and there breakfast sandwich are great, muffins are good too!
Come in and get your coffee !! You won’t be disappointed.

This place was cute and very compact. I tried one of their breakfast sandwiches and a regular latte. The sandwich wasn’t good at all — there was no flavor to it. I thought the cheese would add flavor but even that was pretty bland. The latte was mediocre.
The reason I gave them 3 instead of 2 stars is because the service was good. The girl behind the counter was really nice. There was no one in the shop either so I had the whole place to myself!

Cool little stop for coffee and cake. Great service, super friendly staff. Really good coffee and good atmosphere. Super handy for the lake as well.

Really enjoying myself here in this very Seattle little coffee shop. It’s tiny, artsy, open and bright, right off of Green Lake. Sweet! staff, good brew, music and ambiance

Best breakfast sandwich in the neighborhood. Sometime I’ll try their lunch options which look great too. All the different coffee options I’ve tried have been very good too.
The only thing keeping it from 5 is intermittent odd service, slow, inexplicably completely missing staff, unexpected closures. It’s a tiny neighborhood joint, so these things happen sometimes.
But the staff IS super friendly and accommodating all the time, and I’ve always felt very welcome here. I’ll keep coming back!

Quiet atmosphere and a great place for reading. The Nutella Latte is reason enough to make a visit!

This café is so great! The coffee, the people, THE DOG GROOMING PLACE NEXT DOOR-​which means you see adorable dogs while drinking coffee. :)
It’s so cozy and fitting place for a rainy seattle day. Try the breakfast sandwich! So delicious and the bacon is cooked to perfection. If you want a place for the right ambiance then go here!

Great place for coffee and bites. Very dog friendly! The owner owns the dog grooming spot next door (great rates by the way). Support this local business!

The owner is so flippin kind. We were getting food next door and there wasn’t any seating left, so this guy literally open up his restaurant for us to come inside and sit to eat some other restaurants food. Who does that?!

Such a cute little gem! Why go to Starbucks across the street when you can come here? I love the atmosphere here. Super cute and artsy. Although my coffee took a while, it was well worth it. It was delicious! I work a couple blocks down and this is my go-​to.

Don’t even try to go to the Starchucks around the corner — why cram yourself into there for a not-​so-​great cup of coffee?
But I will admit…
I found 72^nd St Café only after I left Starchucks because it was too busy to sit anywhere.
I was pleasantly surprised with 72^nd — it had what I was looking for: good coffee, good music, comfy seating, and free wifi.
A great spot for a coffee, I’ll go back when I am in that area again —

This is a great spot right across the street from Greenlake. It has a patio for sunny days, and a relaxed interior filled with art deco from local artists.
The coffee is from local espresso aficionados: Middle Fork Roasters and is probably one of the best roasts I have EVER had. I absolutely love it!
The baristas are always friendly, and the food is fabulous! It’s nice to be able to find a local gem like this, especially with corporate giant Starbucks right across the street, this place beats it hands down!
Try a hemp latte or a traditional cappuccino, they’re wonderful. Food wise, the breakfast sandwiches can’t be beat. The pastries are yummy and offer Gluten Free options (the raspberry scones are to die for!). They’re also from a local Vegan bakery.
This place is a must try!
