The Shop by Porter

Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 5/5I got the chai here. It came out in a cute mug. The shop itself is very clean and modern and prices are fair. There are many tables to sit at to get work done or chat with others.

I came here to kill some time in the downtown area and get some work done. Needless to say that this shop has great vibes and made me feel a little more safe than the other coffee shops in the area. - Vanilla latte: Really smooth and not too sweet. No latte art but that made it feel more classic. Super cute mug!

My friend and I ran in here on a whim to escape the rain, and boy am I glad we did. This ended up being my favorite "cafe run" during our short stay in Seattle. The tasteful assortment of furniture and the fully stocked pastry counter was what drew us in at first. The two ladies behind the counter were so friendly and conversational from the moment we walked in. We took a seat at one of the few plush couches in the space and enjoyed the...- London Fog: As an Earl Grey lover, I've had a good deal of these in the past. But this one has to be one of the best I've had. Not only was the tea flavor itself well-pronounced, but it was accompanied by a subtle toffee-like flavor. Perhaps that's thanks to the sweetener they use.- Americano: Smooth and well-rounded with no bitterness. It's like a hug in a cup! I love ordering one of these with a dessert item.- Square Donut: This was sourced from a new Japanese bakery in the area. The donut itself was a bit more dry and cakey than a typical donut, so it felt like a semi-sweet coffee cake. No complaints there. The thick raspberry filling took it over the top! It had a bright and wholesome flavor. We ended up staying here until a bit past closing time, and the staff was really chill about it. It was nice being able to take our time on our way out. Would've loved to pay this place another visit, especially to WFH. There's some great working space here, from conference rooms to semi-private lounging areas. Would recommend The Shop to anyone looking for a relaxing or productive afternoon!

I was looking for a good 3pm coffee fix and a break from work and so glad I came across this place! Love how it's so close to my work building. Their cold brew is pretty good, will definitely be stopping by more and trying other food and drink items they have. Such a great place to grab a drink with a friend to catch up, study, work or even just escape from the outside world for a bit. Amazing vibes, love the decor, and very attentive service!

I came back to try their London fog and the matcha scone. It's perfect for this weather in Seattle. I love this place so much I can just come here every day.

i love an aesthetic little cafe and this was exactly that (and a little more-- its also a workspace and i think you can rent out the private rooms/work areas or sit in the open tables/seats)! there's free wifi and plenty of outlets and lots of windows! but more on the food/coffee! we got the jamon foccacia sandwich, which was literally so delicious and a good amount of food for the price! the focaccia was so airy on the inside and had a nice cronchy outside and all the toppings in it paired so well together! their menu only had a few items, and i spoke to the employee and he said the sandwiches are more like staples while the family meal offered tues-thurs(?) rotates every week, will definitely come back to try another time! i also got a caramel latte w oat milk, which was also very good!staff was super friendly and let us look around the space!

This place is the coolest. What a vibe. I feel like I'm back in the 60s with newer furniture. Check it out!!!

The atmosphere of the Shop is what draws you in. Just imagine -- plants everywhere you look, the smell of coffee in the air & you are surrounded by design creatives spinning ideas off one another. Stop by for a quick bite or a glass of wine, you can't go wrong here. Oh, and the bathrooms have the coolest wallpaper I've ever seen.

Wow, what a fine! A comfortable casual cute place hidden just a block away from the Seattle art museum. The greenery is what grounds this place. I was surprised that they had cocktails, but even more surprised that the cocktails were on a level I had not met before. The espresso martini was well balanced, and the homemade date butter with some thing we talked about the entire time.I want to mention the portion sizes! Finally! A big cookie! If I order bread, it doesn't come half a slice. We left full and happy! It's a spot definitely for a meet up with friends a workspace to get some work done and they even have a back where you can rent out a space for a group of people.Eating? Here. Coffee? Here. Cocktails? Here. Work? Here! I will be going back to try the food--oh! & all of the seating is comfortable chairs, and cushioned couches.There is only one fault and I did not include that in how I rated this: it is pretty pricey. A little bit more of a price than the atmosphere would've called for--But I'm assuming this is because it's close to a few tourist attractions, and this block is developing into a "higher end" City like vibe. (I put that in quotes because it is still a bit seedy in that area).

If your lifestyle and tastes include Fishwife tinned fish and Graza drizzling olive oil, then this is the spot for you. A very third space worthy hybrid of store and cafe, with incredibly friendly staff behind the counter. Plenty of armchairs available for laid back conversations, as well as desks for a more focused work session. My matcha latte was very well blended. Will definitely need to come back to try the food and cocktails!
