Food is on the expensive side, but love that they are a no tipping establishment. Croque Monsieur was great, filling, and unique (have not seen at any other cafes in Seattle). Love the location tucked in a small alleyway with lots of independent shops. Will be back

Lovely coffee shop, plenty of seating with some outlets for working on your laptop and great breakfast options. The cardamom Oatmilk cappuccino I ordered was fantastic. They have lots of local event posters for biking, crafting, drag and also have a sister bike shop down the road.

Nice interior that does have plentiful, if not very comfortable, seating. On the pricey side even for cap hill. Part of that is their tip-free business model which I do appreciate. You have to pay extra to add an egg to the croque madame which is quite absurd. Is the egg not a defining ingredient in a croque madame? That's like charging extra to add eggs to an eggs Benedict, like what are we doing here? Their lunch menu looks good but when I visited they were out of nearly everything, including all of their vegetarian sandwiches, so I wasn't able to try anything. In a city with three cafes on every block you can do better.

Paid $5 for a 10-12oz pour of local craft beer with no gratuity required in the year of our lord 2026. Hard to complain about that. The bike frames on the wall are kinda weird though - why aren’t there wheels attached? Why am I not riding one right now? There’s something missing in the back… I’m holding my beer but there are no bike parts for me to casually peruse and then once again not buy. Just be warned if you order a super nice heavyweight sweatshirt with embroidery from a local artist they might accidentally get you one with a hood, thereby rendering your new purchase that much more practical in cold weather. Real ones remember the GOOD sandwich with GOOD SAUCE. Bring it back!
