The Shop by Porter

First visit. I arrived at 4:40pm, getting dark outside. Nonetheless, their interior lighting was so mellow and gorgeous. It's a good find near the Market. Not too busy, no problem being alone and cozy. I had Cortado w/Soy, a little over $6, a slice of Kyoto Strawberry cake ($6) and Matcha Crumble cake ($5.50). I have a highly 5/5 for the strawberry cake. I can agree that I probably had a piece like that in Kyoto. But, Crumble cake was very no no. There was no Matcha flavor and very gummy. I will definitely come back for Cortado & strawberry cake. On the way out, I saw their logo-postcard. I picked it up to send it to a friend who moved to Kyoto from Seattle. She will love it..... Thanks for being here.

The aesthetic is beautiful and calm, kind workers, great work spaces and they sell small business products that you can check out right as you walk in. They also hosted an amazing Women in Creative Industries - Netweaving event by Anna Hart and two weekly Wellness Wednesday (8AM&11AM) workshops upstairs at The Studio at 2+U. The workshops include guided yoga, healing breath work and a meditative sound bath with Raiza de Vera - highly recommended.💗

Great coffee and greater atmosphere for a chill hangout or work session! It’s beautiful inside with a bauhaus-inspired interior design. I appreciate the open space in general, and everyone is free to use it how they see fit! Would go here again to chill and have a little moment to myself.

This is a very unique place which combines a cafe, co-working space and a retail space that sells home/kitchen items. I love, love, the atmosphere, the coffee and the food here. I can’t compliment enough the taste, the quality and the warm/welcoming attitude of everyone who works here. I also bought two ceramic bowls from the shop which I love and use everyday.

Found my new go-to cafe in Seattle. First off, the cafe itself is so beautiful. I love that there is a variety of seating arrangements that aren’t just a table and two chairs. There’s a sofa, lounge chairs, accent chairs, meeting tables, etc. Also, private rooms that you can reserve. The coffee is a 10/10 and the service was exemplary. Overall, it hit all the marks of what I was looking for in a cafe.
