I enjoyed my drink that I got here. I had the Lucky Irishman, and liked how smooth the flavor was. Service was quick and friendly as well. The time I went it was quite dim inside, with little comfortable seating area (not too many sofas, mostly un-padded metal chairs) and the toilet was flooding. For me, more of a stop in for coffee, and not the place to stay once I’ve got my order.

Average coffee for average prices. That would earn a 3 star. One star knocked off for my disgusting breakfast sandwich. The lowest quality bacon with way more fat than meat, and a hair melted in the cheese. Yum. For the downtown bothell area, where you can find better tasting coffee for cheaper, this establishment is definitely sub-par. The space is cool, the vibe is ok, but if you actually want good coffee, look elsewhere.

Decent place to work. Lots of tables and chairs though it can get noisy so bring your noice cancellings if you have em. Good wifi. Coffee drinks are meh. And ability to foam milk is starbucks level (well below par). Caseline baked goods are ok (not the french ones though).

DECEPTIVE PRICING!!! DIRTY Social Grounds!! **ALERT** Whatever you order at Social Grounds there is a NEW HIDDEN $1.28 surcharge. When you ask about why your $3.58 drink went up to $5.35 they point to a sign that states all items are 70 cents more but the math doesn't calculate and as you can see I was charged even more than that; $3.58 (drink) +1.28 (surcharge) + $0.49 (tax). I asked them why not just adjust their menu pricing rather than charging a hidden fee and they said that is just what the owner has done. All people understand when costs go up then prices will go up too. There is no reason to hide it in a hidden surcharge. That is just plain deceptive and misleading. And then I'm expected to tip after that?

Expensive watery coffee served with a dose of ennui from staff. My cup was only 3/4 full too. Nice atmosphere, pretty loud though. Bathroom was a mess, toilet clogged, no hand paper, broken lock. You can do better.

Not my favorite. Admittedly I am a coffee snob. So far I only like the coffee at four places in the greater Seattle area (Union Coffee, Caffe Ladro, Woods Coffee, and Caffe Umbria). It's a great location and seems like a good place to hang out and have a conversation. I've had a good vegan baked item, but they don't always have them. I went back to them cause I read a review that said they are organic. I asked if any of the coffees were organic and the server said "I don't know" and made no attempt to find out. If they served organic coffee I think they would advertise that and they don't. So in summary, meh.

Diverse selection of Mochas ranging from Sweet chocolate to Dark chocolate (50% Cocoa, 70%, or 90%).I went for the Dark chocolate mocha and it wasn’t the best.

Good coffee shop in Bothell downtown, the place is dog-friendly and allowed our pet to sit inside. Coffee and sweet treats were good, loved the cherry almond scone which was not overly sweet. Plenty of street parking and even a public parking nearby.

Thought I’d give this place a try. Ordered drip coffee & blueberry muffin, coffee arrived no muffin. Responded that I also ordered a blueberry muffin,server comes back with a blueberry scone. Responded that I had ordered a blueberry muffin, server comes back with the muffin. Set the coffee on the high top table , sat down resting one arm on the table that then rocks wildly a good 3”. Coffee spews out the top the cover over the table and on my pants.Cup was overfilled to the brim, couldn’t put sugar in without additional spillage due to rocking table.Lost a new customer, will go back to Cafe Ladro.

I love the food and coffee here, but feel that the staff could be nicer. I was there 15 minutes before close to order a salad to go, and was told no, I could not order a salad because they just did the dishes. I understand closing a kitchen when customers coming in right before closing can be hard, I've worked in food service. But they can either pay the employees to break down the kitchen after they close, or provide signage that says you can't order a salad after a certain time. I was not dining in. The to-go salad containers are plastic, and I can't imagine they would have to use a ton of dishes to make one salad. I messaged them about it on their Facebook page and got no response, that was weeks ago. Super bummed. I rushed to get there before close, and was never provided a logical explanation and then zero response.

We mostly come here for the drinks when we're in downtown Bothell. Love the chai latte here. The one time I got a 12 oz. chai, I immediately regretted not getting the next size up, so if in doubt, get the larger size! There's always a steady flow of customers on the weekends, but even if it's busy, the wait is never long at all. The indoor space is relatively small, with enough seating for maybe no more than 20-25.

Gross coffee, gross food. Americano was watery and the wrap I ordered was so drenched in salad dressing I literally just threw it away.
