Uptown Espresso - Magnolia

Uptown Espresso's Magnolia café is on W. McGraw Street, with a sister café in West Seattle. It's cozy, with wood furniture, west-facing windows that bring in the afternoon light, comfy chairs, long tables and a covered patio. It's dog-friendly, with treats. It gets lively at peak times, and the wifi can be spotty.

The Velvet Foam latte is the signature. There's a macchiato, Fonte drip and a matcha latte too. The maple-topped coffee cake is the standout. There's a breakfast burrito and a warm pressed PB&J. Lattes run about $8 to $10.
