Fulcrum Café - Seattle

I can't believe it's taken me this long to try fulcrum. This place has really unique drinks that I've never seen elsewhere. I got the bee pollen latte iced and it was so good! I also tried the egg biscuit and thought it was okay. It was very filling but I don't think I'd get it again. I already want to come back and try their other signature drinks!

The platonic ideal of a cool coffee shop. Perfect espresso and pastries in a deeply stylish space that functions super well for working remote. (Also shout out to the baristas on February 9th for shutting down someone itching for a fight in the lightest and most polite way possible).

A friend recommended Fulcrum, so I was really excited to try the store. It is super cute on the inside, responsive staff Busy, but seems like an awesome place to work and hang out. : I liked that their location is nearby quite a few attractions and hotels. Walking would be easy. Parking is more difficult since it is right on the main road so street parking could be nearby or a few blocks away. Walked in, and was greeted immediately. Their menu has quite a few specialty drinks, which look amazing. Being the simple person I am, I ordered an iced white mocha coffee on the sweeter side. The coffee came hot, that's okay. The disappointing downside is that it tasted like chocolate flavored water. Maybe that's not one of their specialties. Cute, but sadly would not come back.

The cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and spacious. The coffee is decent. The staff are friendly, but a little slow. I went later in the day and there were still a steady flow of customers, but 1 person as both cashier and barista. I think it might have been an off day so I'll give it another try and you should too.

The space and coffee are gorgeous. I came for lunch and ordered the tumeric milk with granola. The latte was tasty and the mug have no handle. Holding the warm mug was like a self healing act, the weight had this coziness. What is that couch thing in the center or was it a dream? Is this what happens when the matriarchy takes over? I heard many doors lead to nirvana, you gotta find your own door, the door to this Fulcrum cafe might be one. Or maybe I entered a yuppie coma and need to snap out of it.
