Makeda & Mingus

Went here for the first time today as I was in the neighborhood but I wouldn't return.The coffee is decent. But they don't list the prices on their menu so you have no idea how much you're paying for. Also, the place is extremely dirty. There were literally flies and dust everywhere.

The owner is nice, so you feel pressured to not to leave a bad review. But out of the hundreds of coffee stops in Seattle, this wouldn't come up as my recommended unless you're looking for a pet-friendly coffee shop. It's named after the furry fren, after all. The atmosphere is quite dark and there's fur all over the seats. It feels disorganized and dirty... so I wouldn't dine in. The menu is simple, which is not bad but also why I don't feel the urge to return, as there isn't anything great about the drinks. I'm not even sure where the beans come from. Popular for the locals, not a place to go out of your way for. I want to support a small business, but this is my honest review in the nicest way I can put it.

Always greeted with good energy! Love the mocha but I also have never had a 'bad' drink here! I really enjoy the local art they support that is for sale and it's nice to be able to pick up their food too for later - Their curry and aloo gobi never disappoints! Dog friendly is just the cherry on top of this cute and funky place!

Neighborhood gem- inclusive space that supports artists, local crafts and local coffee/ beer. Really friendly service. Everyone fits in- young, old, well dressed , messy. If there was a coffee shop version of Cheers- this is it. I go here rarely as its out of the way for me- but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling every-time i do. This time I sat drinking my oat milk latte and watched customers and their dogs come in and listened in on the small talk. Perfect to unwind in a low key relaxed space. Make a friend!

Decided to start our day with Coffee at this spot as it was pretty close to our Airbnb and it was an Amazing choice. The place is kind of mess inside as they have been renovating but the service is amazing. Ordered a latte and regular drip and sat on the patio as one other customer was playing Ukele. Couldn't ask for a better start.Had some conversation with the guy listening him play Ukele .It was slightly drizzling which made amplified the experience.Pros:---------Friendly StaffPatioStreet ParkingDog FriendlyDrinks, beer & wine.Quick ServiceCons:---------None to meGive it a try !!!

Didn't even know this place existed but what a lovely find!! Been here twice now. Dog friendly. Great little tea latte drinks and the coffee smells good. Very friendly staff. Comfy seating. What a great little neighborhood shop!!

I can't stop singing my praises!! The owner is really funny & friendly, and she makes great coffee to boot! The seating is perfect for the space, and little Mingus is a gracious host. We'll definitely be back again soon!

Moved to the area and have been trying to find my favorite coffee shop. This place is super cute and each time I've gone, the service is friendly without being fake. And there's Mingus - the cute little old pup. What's not to love?I'd highly recommend the Bee's Knees latte. It's got rose and lavender and honey and is just such a treat, especially when you're in the period of winter when spring seems unreachable. Their plain oat milk lattes are great too. Baked goods are from Macrina, which is an excellent bakery, but unknowable what they'll have in stock when you go.Last time I went, Mingus was there and put his little paw on my lap and posed for a picture. What a cutie. We flipped through the owner's copy of Salt Fat Acid Heat that was on the table. Thanks for creating some local flavor, y'all, I'll be back.

Love supporting small, BIPOC owned businesses so I was so happy the coffee was delish and it's in a great area!!! I love the atmosphere and decor, there's plenty to look at during the short wait for your drink! Sweet and genuine baristas, and you can't forget the cutest pup Mingus!!

Sweet midnight espresso cold brew, I met you so late in the day and fell in love with you. Smooth little gem that was a delight to drink. I will be back to hang out with your other friends, the espresso shot and maybe a cortado.
