Citizen
706 Taylor Ave N, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Citizen is a laid-back Seattle spot that doubles as both a serious coffee destination and a spirited gathering place, especially beloved for its creative cold brews and innovative cocktail menu. The real magic happens in the outdoor seating area with its fire pit and heat towers—a cozy, dog-friendly setup that's perfect for lingering over breakfast (their waffles are genuinely outstanding) or evening drinks with friends. It's the kind of place where you can grab a carefully crafted aloha cold brew in the morning and return for craft cocktails by the fire when the sun sets.”

Breakfast here is outstanding. Seat yourself upstairs above the kitchen and enjoy a sweet or a savory waffle (or both).
I wanted to love this place, but it fell a little flat. We visited in November because it was close to our hotel. But there is no indoor seating. They have a fire pit and some heat towers but they don't provide much heat against the cold. The food was...fine. I ordered a spicy tofu lemongrass burrito, but it just tasted like bland black beans. The staff were nice, and we had fun playing the lawn games. It would be a great spot to grab a drink in the summer.
Have not been in a while but loved the new cocktail menu. It is the perfect time to go with friends and chill by the fire with a nice hot drink.
This was walking distance from the hotel we stayed (Four Points) at which was so convenient! The outdoor seating / campfire area is gorgeous and so nice for summer! I got an aloha cold brew that was smooth and delicious. And the pear crisp waffle was so good and not too sweet. Even their basic farmers breakfast was good! Staff is super friendly and the service was quick and easy. It’s one of those places where you can order via your phone and can order as a group or individual.
Came here for cocktails and a bite to eat and will certainly be back if I’m ever traveling in the area again! Having four roses as the well bourbon to make an old fashioned was unreal and the bartender on staff knew what she was doing! Cocktails were incredible and the ambiance here was excellent.
