Sam and the team at 203 are great. The coffee beans and oat milk they use make for the perfect latte. The main area, the bathroom, and the front of the store are always clean. Space to work if you must. If you're looking for your go to coffee shop, look no further.

Cute little cafe with good selection of drinks. We got 2 hot drinks, the ube latte and a matcha latte. Service was quick, although no one else was around when we got there. There was only one person working register and as barista. But there are comfy chairs and lots of little tables and I really like the plants.

It's hard for cafes to stick out and have an interesting twist on things, and if you don't then you're stuck in the middle? This place is right there where it wasn't amazing but not the worst cup of coffee I've ever had? We tried the hazelnut latte with oat milk and a matcha latte as pretty standard drinks to have a baseline The matcha was a little clumpy and not mixed very well, and the hazelnut coffee didn't have a particularly strong taste, more like a normal latte? Obviously if you're in that area it's nice to look at it, but if you're already overpaying for coffee, look elsewhere

More like 3.5! Absolutely mediocre coffee. On a surprisingly sunny day in Seattle, my friend and I stopped by this cafe. We ordered matcha ube latte and hazelnut latte. Their matcha was too bitter and despite the sweet taste of ube, the latte had a very strong bitter after taste which wasn't very pleasant. Even the hazelnut latte was lacking the flavor. It was like any other latte without the intended flavor taste as if it wasn't mixed properly. Even the service was a bit lackluster. The barista was a bit lazy, slow and disinterested. The ambiance is chill; cafe gets loads of sunlight. There's enough space to sit inside but I'd rather recommend to grab the coffee and cross the street to sit by the South Lake Union Park.

A very aesthetic coffee spot with great natural light and good seating. I do think though that the coffee isn't anything too special. I came here after seeing some beautiful pictures of their drinks, in particular the ube latte, and I was really excited to try it. When it was served though, the espresso and ube were already mixed together so it was more a brown purple color rather than the pretty unmixed version that I saw, but that was okay. The drink itself was decent - nothing too special. The ube flavor was definitely there, but it wasn't that strong. I also didn't taste too much of the espresso flavor which I was a little disappointed in, but the more I sipped it the more I think it was better. I think my expectations were just a tad high going in. It was also a little milky which I'm not the biggest fan of, but maybe I just need to get it with an alternative milk next time - though, for almost $7 already I'm not sure how worth it that is. A cute spot for sure though!

Chill little cafe! Smaller than their location in Totem Lake in Kirkland, but great for grab-and-go coffee, especially right before taking walk around Lake Union. Staff are friendly and helpful. Wifi available but the seating isn't the most comfortable so I would prefer to gather here with homies rather than a work-from-coffee-shop day.

I would say mild espresso, very creamy, a little less than I expected. The staff at the front desk is friendly and quick.

While visiting Seattle and staying in South Lake Union, I had found 203 Degrees Fahrenheit Coffee via Yelp. I was most curious based off their modern interior and two unique coffee lattes--Pistachio Latte and Ube Latte. I ordered the first option which was served beautifully with a design. Sadly the pistachio flavor was not pleasant. It tasted like dish soap that wasn't fully rinsed out of a glass mug. After a couple sips, I was so appalled with not being able to drink it that I went up to the other barista to bring it to their attention. The fella was super understanding and said it wasn't for everyone because they use a concentrate for the pistachio flavor.Thankfully, the barista offered a choice to have another option on the house. He said the Ube Latte was much more enjoyable. While the color had appeal, it didn't taste all that great and was overly sweet. Yet, it was tolerable unlike the Pistachio Latte.I brought in my laptop and planned on staying a while to work. Although the space and furniture is cute, it's not very practical with uncomfortable metal stools. There was also no access to any electrical outlets.In a city like Seattle, coffeeshops are a dime a dozen and mostly amazing. This is sadly one to be passed up.

Really cute little local coffee shop. It's bright and fun to work in. I've gotten their Ube lattes and tea sparklers and both were yummy. Small concise menu but sprinkles in fun and unique seasonal options. Some pastries available from the counter and the fridge. I have issues with the seating in here to be honest. It's a place that you can catch up with a friend because they have laid back couches but no real tables to get work on. They have a high top counter table against the window but the chairs/stools are super uncomfortable and backless. Their couch chairs are laid back and low so it's coffee table height. They do have outlets but because of the seating, you probably wouldn't be staying long.It's still a great local cafe where you can catch up with a friend or grab a drink to go.

Cute coffee shop right by lake Union! One of my staple coffee shops when taking a stroll to see the water. Their menu is quite large with great options for flavors for coffee lovers. My go to is the Rachel's lavender latte. I would love if they had stock for sugar free syrups but not a reason to not rate this place highly. Their seasonal flavors are also great, I once got their ube latte and it was beautiful and delicious. They also carry blazing bagels in shop which are a delicious side. Their service is pretty quick as well, overall it is a great quick stop on your next stroll!
