Nice atmosphere, pretty chill, but they did kick out half the shop's seated people for an unexpected event one and a half hours before closing. I understand hosting events and reserving space, but it was a sudden "we have an event coming up and need you all to clear this area." No signage or notice beforehand which was unfortunate. Had to find another cafe to finish up work but had I known, I would have just went to the other spot. On the bright side, street parking is plenty available. Wifi available with a medium level of seating.Iced Matcha - besides the experience, the iced matcha was just alright. The matcha was not ground finely which left some larger particles of powder. They do allow you to opt for sweetened matcha but I went with unsweetened. Outside of the powder, the matcha flavor was decent and there was a fair balance of milk to matcha.

The coffee's good, the baked items are alright, and if you want inept baristas, this place is for you. I ordered at the counter right away, and my coffee took 10 minutes to make. People who came in after me were served first, so when I asked if my cappuccino got lost, the response was a dismissive "I'm making it right now." At least she didn't add "You're welcome".

I live in the neighborhood and I work across the street from Distant Worlds, but this was my first visit. Imagine my delight to discover that this is a nerdy queer owned inclusive coffeehouse AND their coffee is great! The person who took my order was very nice and helpful and the turnaround time to get my drink was quick! The whole place is very cozy, with large and small tables and a cozy upholstered chair nook to enjoy your time. In my time there I witnessed strangers willingly and happily sharing their tables with others, and others switching tables to give larger parties the ability to sit together. Very friendly welcoming environment... I can't wait to run over on a workday to get a quick pick me up when the afternoon slump hits!

Distant Worlds Coffeehouse is a themed coffee shop. They have a website with menu, which is a big plus in my book. Their specialty beverages are named after characters from books, movies and TV shows. I tried two "fandom in a cup" beverages:Tardis (blueberry, Irish cream) $6 for 20ozPrincess Leia mocha (rose, white chocolate) $5.25Both beverages tasted really good; blueberry mixed well with Irish cream and rose flavor was very subtle in Princess Leia. Both drinks were not overly sweet.The baristas were friendly. The cafe had a couple of bookshelves with books and games. They also have stickers, posters, and mugs for sale.I think they are dog friendly, because I saw dog treats on the condiment table, but i am not sure.

Stopped in for a drip coffee. The coffee was delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. It's specifically a great place for getting work done.

The TARDIS latte here is goated. It is a great drink with slight blueberry notes and backed by great coffee.Highly recommend the shop for a sit-down to do work or play a few board games with friends. Roosevelt folks are blessed with Distant Worlds

A bustling geek-themed coffee shop across from Whole Foods. I've tried a few things here, including Rocinante, Inigo Montoya, and Polgara. I don't have a particular favorite as they all more or less taste the same to me. Because most cofffee in Seattle is strong, the flavored lattes here feel much more sweet and watered down.I like how they have ample seating and lots of geek merch to purchase. I feel that every time I visit it only gets busier, but there's plenty of seats to go around!

Adorable coffee house on Roosevelt Way NE just a couple of blocks south of N. 65th Street. Their cupeth overfloweth with amazing vegan options!!The vegan version of their egg breakfast sandwich was "on point", especially as we added the eggplant bacon, really providing the sandwich a lovely "crisp". If you get this sandwich, I highly recommend you add the eggplant bacon, you'll thank me later! We also couldn't resist the temptation to try their Irish Savory Hand Pie, delicious flaky crust, while the inside was melt in your mouth soft and lovely. I'm a big time sucker for a good Golden Milk and theirs (I had them add Oat Milk) did NOT disappoint. Admittedly, I felt a bit guilty to take my first sip ... lest I ruin their lovely coffee art work, but my gluttony eventually got the best of me and ... gulps ... were to be had! The ambiance was awesome, so much to look at, artwork for sale, board games to fly, various themes are represented ... Star Wars, Firefly, Star Trek, etc.Overall, very charming coffee house with delicious food and coffee!
