Our Guestbook
“ We’ve lived in this neighborhood for just over 9 months as I write this and Muddy Cup is easily our favorite coffee spot. We spend a lot of our time in the outdoors and the cabin feel & decor of this place evokes Stanley, ID, Moab, UT, insert your favorite small mountain town, with no corporate undertones. The rear patio is tucked back off the road and sheltered by shady trees. The owner/barista Sarah (Sara? sorry if misspelled) is sweet, kind, and doesn’t rush you. Her standard coffees drinks are very well-executed, but when we stop by it’s usually for one of her special concoctions - the Orange You Glad Latte & the Put a Lime in the Coconut Mocha for us today. It’s an easy walk away, so even on the rare occasion I can’t find a seat inside, I enjoy the patio, chat with a neighbor, or take a slow walk home with a tasty drink and a bag of their roasted beans. *pic is just a cuppa at home made from their beans ”
“ We've stopped here every now and then for the atmosphere and tasty coffees and Italian sodas. My favorite to get is a cardamom Italian soda with cream and whipped cream. They're really nice, the cups and straws are compostable, and it's a super chill atmosphere if you're not in a rush with tables inside and a couple outside. Would recommend. ”
“ i got the hot chocolate chai and my husband got an iced caramel latte and we loved our drinks ! i gave mine a 10/10, my husband gave his a 7/10 (he said his coffee was a bit acidic, which i saw other reviews said the same) (: will definitely be back for more we drive by the place all the time and i loved the name so we finally decided to stop by and check it out and didn’t disappoint the baristas were super nice too and such a cool cozy place inside ”
“ Probably the coziest place in Seattle. This cafe is basically a must-stop on your way from the Fremont Troll, which is just a short drive away. Grab a savory coffee and pet one of the many furry patrons at this pet-friendly roastery. If you're really lucky, you might be invited to play a board game with the incredibly friendly local guests. And don't forget to treat yourself by asking for Jessica's delicious handcrafted cookies, which are only available here! ”
“ This place is a gem. I've been going here for six years and it still have the "Seattle coffee shop" vibe. The ambience is as perfect as the coffee. The options here are great for the milk alternative variety. Their product is organic and fair trade. The price is somehow cheaper then most of the spots around Seattle who can't even make a decent cup but still charge out 7-8 bucks for it. This place is sincerely the best and I hope they stay around for years to come. Still my favorite coffee shop. ”
“ I am always on the hunt for a quaint cozy coffee shop. Having recently moved to Seattle, I have been doing lots of searching. This is THE best coffee shop for a cozy experience, staff was wonderful and the coffee was fantastic. Easy Off street parking, too! My new favorite place! Wish they had even more food ”
“ Obsessed!! So cozy and full of personality, had great things like the mug donation where you can take a free mug you use there home with you. Coffee was great and they serve mighty-o donuts! ”
“ I really enjoyed my visit to this coffee shop-it’s a true gem for art lovers! Very small space but very much local and community oriented. The decor is thoughtfully curated, showcasing beautiful pieces from local artists that create a warm, inspiring atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend hours soaking in creativity while sipping your coffee. The coffee beans they use are definitely high quality, and you can tell they take pride in their in-house roaster. However, I found that the flavors didn’t quite live up to the potential of the beans. My banana flavored latte lacked the depth I was hoping for. May be just a wrong flavor from their menu but I’ll go back to try others. Overall, this spot is good if you appreciate art and a cozy vibe alongside your caffeine fix. With a little more attention to flavor profiles, it could easily be a 5-star experience. I’ll be back to see what new artwork they feature and to support local creatives! ”
