Fantastic Local Gem!
I highly recommend this place! It's a great way to support local businesses. My experience was fantastic, with a great ambience, enjoyable music, and delicious beverages including coffee, local beers, and cider. The food was yummy and fresh. The staff was super friendly, and the concept is so fun! I loved the decor, including the festive red Vespa for the holiday season.

Great Chill Spot with Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the mushroom empanada and some wine, and both were absolutely great. It's a great chill spot that also plays good music. The staff was friendly, and I think I've found my new local spot!

Great Evening Drinks and Yummy Empanadas
I stumbled upon this place one evening after a Green Lake walk and absolutely loved it! It's a great place for evening drinks, offering a good selection of wine and local beer. The atmosphere is very chill. The empanadas were also yummy, and the owner was nice.

Motorcycle Gem with Delicious Treats
My experience at this relaxing neighborhood spot was fantastic. It's a motorcycle-themed hidden gem in Greenwood, perfect for kicking back with a coffee or beer. I highly recommend not missing the pastel de nata and the tiger chai!

Nostalgic Comfort Food & Amazing Coffee
This is a great little shop that instantly brought back memories of my childhood with a daddy who hauled his tomboy daughter to the shop to help him work on cars all day, lol. But it's really a great little sando shop that has perhaps the best coffee I've had in a month of Sundays. No burnt beans here! I'd love to say I knew what beans they were, but this coffee was as smooth as Antigua. Absolutely delicious. My sandwich was warm and toasty. The bread was amazing, melted cheese, it was a great comfort food type of a sando that really hit the spot. This place won't be for everybody, this is for simpler folk that enjoy simple, wholesome food with a dash of old school atmosphere. Anyone who's ever stuck their head under the hood of their car, or spent a Saturday afternoon working on their bike would feel right at home here.

Rad spot with awesome vibe!
My experience at this place was absolutely rad! The owner is great, and the vibe is awesome. There's plenty of space for both indoor and outdoor seating, which is fantastic. They also have lots of outlets, making it a good spot if working is your thing. I particularly enjoyed the cool motorcycle theme, which leans towards old-school and competition vibes rather than a 'hells angel Harley' feel. I highly recommend this place!

Great Coffee and Community Spot
My experience at Top Dead Center was fantastic! This local spot serves up some well-crafted coffees. Even as someone not into motorcycles, I found the vibe to be great. The owner is consistently friendly and happy to chat while preparing drinks. I really appreciate the community gathering space he's created. Bonus points for showing moto GP and F1 on the TV!

Great New Neighborhood Spot
My experience at this restaurant was great! I enjoyed the great coffee and the cool vibe. They have picnic tables outside which are perfect for enjoying coffee, beer, or wine. It's also conveniently located close to Greenlake and Phinney/Greenwood. This is a cool new neighborhood spot!

Sweet Coffee Spot Jackpot!
I recently moved to the area and hit the jackpot for a local coffee spot. My experience was fantastic! The atmosphere is awesome, with cool vintage motorcycle stuff that reminds you of its auto shop past, complete with a hint of that great oil smell. The coffee was great, and the WiFi was solid. It's a sweet place that I'm glad to have found near me.
