Crema's Take
“This Seattle social enterprise café radiates genuine warmth through its exceptionally kind staff who take real pride in crafting precise espresso drinks like cortados and caramel macchiatos with genuine skill and care. Beyond the excellent coffee, FareStart offers a bright, calming space perfect for lingering by the fire with a full breakfast menu, all while supporting their mission to strengthen the community. It's the kind of place where the baristas remember you and the whole experience—from the thoughtfully pulled shots to the welcoming energy—feels like it genuinely matters.”

Staff is so friendly, great energy in the morning! Caramel macchiato is delicious. Plenty of seating with a sweet opportunity to sit by the fire.
This cafe has the best staff of anywhere in Seattle. They have made my mornings so many times by their kindness.
Coffee like Cortado, seems easy like someone would say it is just Espresso and steamed Milk. But the reality the Professionalism & Focus of measuring the perfect amount of Coffee Grind and steamed the milk to turn perfect temperature is much vital and challenging as it seems. As a result, what a Community Focus Restaurant & Cafe is humbly warming people hearts with Time and Effort of ensuring individuals have their chance to build and showcase their skills. And look at the Grilled Chicken Ceasar Sandland, it is being extremely appealing and appetizing. Why not come more often and support the community, in exchange for good food!
We stumbled into this cafe/restaurant very hungry for breakfast! We were so delighted by the calm and bright atmosphere and fantastic food-- the mission of the organization--as a social enterprise cafe was a unexpected and welcome bonus. We even stopped by again right before our flight home! Highly recommend for a great meal, beautiful space, and an inspiring mission driven business!
Lovely social enterprise cafe, serving great drinks and good, whilst helping the community.
