My favorite café in Seattle. Everything feels perfectly cozy and relaxed. The matcha latte with oat milk was creamy and filling, and the chocolate croissant was also nice. As you can see in the picture, the atmosphere is calm and warm. The Wi-Fi can be a bit unstable and there’s a time limit for having seats, but I usually just read a book here, so it’s not a problem. Overall, such a lovely spot to spend time. I wanted to keep this tiny café a secret, but today’s matcha latte was just too good not to share. 😂enjoy your time here!

What a cute little neighborhood spot. Clearly a lot of care went into furniture and decor, it really matches the architecture of the space. Had a latte, sausage roll, and day-old muffin as a treat. Everything was delicious,

Really good coffee and a great vibe! I felt like I entered into a little European oasis. The high ceilings and interior design are perfectly in time to give you an overall relaxed atmosphere. I only came here to kill an hour while wating for lab results from Virginia Mason, but would definitely come back with a book or a journal.

Piedmont Cafe in First Hill is a hidden gem! Loved the coffee (cappuccino was great) and the old school charm vibe. Cozy spot with lush plants and plenty of seating - perfect for work or chill. Slightly less noise would be nice, but overall great experience. Tucked away in Tuscany apartments, it's a fave for creatives - was busy even on a weekend evening. Will return to try the food!

Piedmont Cafe is a lovely place to enjoy a hand tailored coffee drink or a pot of tea. Along with their delicious pastries, cookies, and breakfast goodies. You will enjoy the beautiful antique architecture, adorned natural plants, and comfortable places to sit. Go alone, bring a friend or coworker.

The staff was super welcoming. I had the Apple turnover and a drip coffee. The man behind the counter said it was a good choice and even offered to heat it up. The coffee cup was very pleasant with a ceramic cup on a saucer. The environment quite homely. That's what we really need in a coffee shop. Homely super welcoming like a living room much compliments to the staff.

Piedmont Café is a great spot with pretty good food and a warm, cozy atmosphere. It’s very welcoming, and the service was excellent. The café is clean and well maintained. It can get a little loud since it’s located on a street corner, The coffee was good, but I personally prefer a stronger, bolder flavor. Overall, it’s still a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal.

This cafe does a beautiful job at faithfully breathing life into the historic lobby of the Piedmont Hotel. The vaulted ceilings, arched windows, furniture and plants make it feel really authentic and homey. I ordered the berry chocolate muffin which was fantastic and the drip coffee was good. WiFi can be a little spotty but besides that it’s a nice place to hang out for a bit.

Really nice staff, comfortable seating arrangements, and really good coffee + snacks. My friend and I tried out the savory rolls as well as the lattes (I got an iced raspberry latte) and it was awesome. The wifi was a bit spotty at first but the staff repeatedly came over to help us out until it was working! Overall such an amazing experience and I highly recommend for a quick work session (wifi cuts out after 90 minutes- understandable since they want to give lots of people an opportunity to experience the cafe!).

Very friendly and cozy place for afternoon coffee, staff is friendly the coffee is good. Maybe I have too much Starbucks it a little weak for my taste,but over all it is a very good place to stop at a super easy SEATTLE downtown area. The building is very stylish high ceiling and very warm. I for sure will come again next time visit.
