Realfine Coffee

According to my recent reviews, my hunt for the best matcha is going strong. I have been to Realfine's Fauntleroy location (connected to Rudy's Barbershop) a couple years ago and it was soooo good! I saw they opened this location, and I pass it almost everyday, but haven't made the time to stop in... now I regret not coming sooner! I appreciate the consistency in service and quality. I walked in and was greeted with two friendly baristas! Being a barista myself, I have been out off by the lack of warmth I feel when I enter other coffee shops but that was not the case at Realfine-- which is a big reason why I will definitely be back! They were so nice and genuinely asking about my day and my pup that was in my arms, educating me on their drinks, offering to help me with the door and open the doggy treat jar, etc. I got an iced matcha latte with vanilla and oatmilk. It was so good and the best I have had during my hunt! Thank you, Realfine, for a great experience!

super good coffee here. quality roast and the drinks are made well. pastry case is not the strongest in town (Seattle usuals) but the coffee makes up for it. and the ambiance plus cool neighborhood staff. pups allowed inside is a cherry on top.

Overall, service was pretty awkward. One of the two baristas kept speaking over the barista helping us. And as for the coffee, it doesn't taste like the white chocolate mocha I ordered. Tasted more like steamed milk with a hint of coffee.

Best latte in the area! Amanda is super sweet, friendly, and the best barista! Also super clean environment--perfect for working remotely.

Great coffee, super friendly service. I wish I lived closer to this local shop. I settled for a take home bag of their roasted beans.

Great space- nice natural lighting w/ the giant windows in front. The drip coffee was decent- a single origin Guatemalan, which was again decent. I thought it was a little over-roasted for my taste, but I will definitely go back and try again, as I was mtg an old friend and wasn't necessarily focused on my coffee. The staff was friendly and really encouraged me in my choice- which was nice- I can use all the encouragement I can get these days. The shop is located on a busy corner of 35th- which knocks it down, just for aesthetics, road noise (if you choose to sit outside) and ease of parking and whatnot. However, there is a conveniently placed crosswalk right there- you know the kind with the flashing lights and all. Overall, I'd say my experience was Real Fine.

Decent Strong Flat White. Less expensive when compared to other coffee shops. Probably not my first choice, but if I'm around, I'd definitely give it another go. The Barista was friendly too

Excellent neighborhood place for coffee, treats and a super friendly community vibe. I came here to get a little work done (not a ton of seating, but people seem pretty willing to share the five 4-tops and there is some bar seating along the window), and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The music is kept at a pleasant level, and the banter is cheerful. You can tell a lot of regulars love this place. They have a good looking selection of pastries and a separate case of Molly's sandwiches in addition to all the coffee drinks you desire. Cozy and sweet, love it!

Great local coffee shop with friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my latte and biscotti during a relaxing afternoon

Great latte in the neighborhood- what else would you want? This shop got me through COVID lockdown and so glad they are still running strong. The interior is spartan and clean, but it can be loud, and one of the baristas is a little too boisterous and vocal for that room. I wonder where did the old crew go? We miss you, Amy and Nicole!Overall, it a very relaxing and enjoyable neighborhood environment, and the coffee and service are truly 'Real Fine'. Maybe acoustic treatment or rugs?
