Looking for the most Instagrammable cafe in Seattle?
Seattle is full of incredible coffee shops—it’s kind of what we’re known for. Sometimes, however, a caffeine fix isn’t enough. When you’re in need of a total mood booster it can be so fun to spend an hour enjoying a creative drink in a beautiful space. Whether you’re looking to share on Instagram or TikTok, or you just want to treat yourself, we highly recommend visiting one of these cute cafes in Seattle for vibes, aesthetics, and tasty treats to boot.
Here are the 10 most Instagrammable cafes in Seattle:
1. Lula Coffee Co, SoDo & West Seattle
Both of the Lula Coffee Co locations (in West Seattle and SoDo) have drive-through windows, but trust us when we say you’ll want to step inside for a mood boost. The SoDo location that is pictured above is right next to the Old Rainier Brewery and is an explosion of hot pink on the inside. It’s like being in a coffee shop in Barbie Land. The original West Seattle location has some super-cute, colorful decor touches as well. As for the menu, their coffee drinks, teas, shakes, and smoothies are just as colorful and creative.
Open daily
Address: 3100 Airport Way S, Seattle, WA 98134 (SoDo) and 4451 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116 (West Seattle)
2. Atulea Matcha & Coffee, Capitol Hill
Atulea is an adorable tea cafe right by Cal Anderson Park in Capitol Hill that specializes in matcha and boba tea. We love the bright, airy space that transports you to a tropical paradise. They also just celebrated the soft opening of a second location in Phinney Ridge this February! If you visit the original Capitol Hill location you’ll get to enjoy a rotation of soft serve flavors, colorful seasonal tea drinks, and maybe even house-made pastries if you’re lucky. They also offer coffee drinks and hot chocolate.

3. Aroom Coffee, Fremont
Aroom Coffee in Fremont is a Vietnamese coffee shop with a sleek, minimalist interior that brings to mind a modern museum. You’ll feel calm and centered here while you sip on Instagrammable drinks like an avocado coffee, a Vietnamese egg coffee, or a matcha with sesame cream.

Address: 3801 Stone Way N Suite C, Seattle, WA 98103
4. Temple Pastries, Central District
Temple Pastries is technically a bakery rather than a coffee shop, but they do serve espresso drinks from Seattle-based Broadcast Coffee Roasters. We come here for three things: caffeine, pastries that look like works of art, and the large, airy space that is filled with light and plants. There is plenty of seating with comfy booths and terrazzo tables that make a great background for photos of your pastries, plus a loft-like area upstairs that makes for an excellent work space.
Opens daily at 7:00 a.m.
Address: 2524 S Jackson St #104, Seattle, WA 98144
5. The Flora Bakehouse, Beacon Hill
The Flora Bakehouse is a bakery and coffee shop in Beacon Hill that has Instagrammable touches everywhere you look. The interior has baby-pink tile, floral wallpaper, and beautiful pastries. Then you realize there’s also a rooftop deck that is open year-round with Adirondack chairs, colorful retro umbrellas, and a view of Mount Rainier.
Opens daily at 7:00 a.m.
Address: 1511 S Lucile St, Seattle, WA 98108
6. Volunteer Park Cafe, Capitol Hill
Volunteer Park Cafe is a must-stop for fuel on the way to Volunteer Park or the Seattle Asian Art Museum, but you may find yourself lingering here longer than you intended. This homey cafe in an old yellow house is packed with plants as well as pantry supplies and gifts such as wine, candles, mugs, dried flowers, and more. You can get breakfast and lunch here in addition to coffee and baked goods.
Closed Mondays & Tuesdays
Address: 1501 17th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98112
7. Moore Coffee Shop, Belltown
Moore Coffee Shop has two locations in Belltown. Their original anchor shop is on the main floor of the Moore Hotel, and that’s where you’ll find plenty of seating, vintage-glam decor, and their famous waffles. The vintage sofas, hot pink neon signs, and cozy fireplace (not to mention the adorable latte art!) will have you snapping pics the whole time.
Note that the main Moore Coffee Shop is closed Monday through Wednesday; you’ll find coffee and more limited seating at their second, smaller location around the corner seven days a week.
Address: 1930 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98101 and 112 Stewart St. Seattle, WA
8. The Usual, Central District
The Usual in Seattle’s Central District certainly got its name because you’ll go there often enough to be able to order “the usual.” The beautiful interior has a sophisticated midcentury-modern design with warm exposed wood, velvet booths, and cane chairs. Their food and drink presentation is created with equal attention to aesthetics. And if you’re wondering: “The Usual” on their menu is an iced shaken oat milk vanilla latte.
Opens daily at 8:00 a.m.
Address: 1414 E Yesler Way, Seattle, WA 98122
9. Hood Famous Cafe + Bar, Chinatown-International District
Hood Famous has a low-key but beautiful interior design with aesthetic details that tie in with the bakery’s Filipino roots. You’ll find lots of people quietly working on their laptops or chilling with friends here. Be sure to try their signature items, the Ube Latte and the Ube Cheesecake.
