Cafe Solstice

They have a great funky vibe, and it feels a little more adult and sophisticated than some places on the Ave. Be sure to use your Pirq app for some amazing deals here everyday!

Loud hipster music , good coffee , good tea blends, lots of wooden tables and power outlets , free wireless, and super rich, moist brownies . I don't get a lot of work done here but I still love it.

Gets really busy but their iced vanilla lattes and mochas are delicious! Same with the hot coffee , also love the Reuben sandwich with a pickle . They also serve beer !

Hands down Seattle's, especially the U-dist, best place for a cup of coffee , espresso , tea or whatever flavor you savor to get you going in the morning or keep you going throughout your day.

By far the best coffee shop on the Ave to get work done in. Good vibes, good coffee , beer on tap - what more could you want?

Good place to hang out, work or just chill . Nice music , good decoration. Coffee is good too AND they have whole leaf teas .

If two girls are running the shop, you gonna have great music . If two hipster guys, bring headphones!

Awesome coffee and beer , and a good place for late night studying

They use lighthouse espresso and it's amazing. Best coffee in the U-District. Try the white chocolate banana bread .

Their soy mochas are to die for!! The best I've tasted from any other coffee shop . They use Ghirardelli chocolate and their coffee makes the combo bomb!

The espresso cream cheese brownies are bomb even if you are not a big fan of sweets

Some of the best people watching on campus. Sit at the bar , great light.

Great espresso , nice music , nice space to hang out!

Plenty of seating, artwork on the walls, really good coffee and the baristas play some great music .

Good place to get work done, at least in the morning. Vegetarian breakfast burrito was mostly beans, however, and some of the staff seem like they'd rather be anywhere but where they were.

Caramel latte is to die for! I suggest the thicker caramel though!

The espresso cream cheese brownies are the best I've ever had.

Used to love this place. Great coffee and atmosphere but the attitude is ridiculously hostile towards the patrons. Get a grip Solstice nobody is that cool. Don't tip.

One of the best spots to meet up in the U district

Great cup of macchiato !

Great coffee and the nut muffins are tasty

Sticky brownie , berry mazurkas, mochas are some of the best Seattle has to offer.

University District. Very loud and active. If you don't like that, check out Allegro.

My only complaint is that they crank the bass far too high on the sound system -- high enough that one can feel it. One of the only places my headphones cannot drown out questionable musical choices.

Looks like a perfect place for study, pretty young UW crowd.

Iced Earl Grey is good. Nice place but the baristas don't smile much.

Best coffee in the area.

Fattening myself up with their blueberry coffee cake , but absolutely worth it

Try the espresso cheesecake brownie . Amazing

Coffee and ambiance is awesome.

Great selection of tea . Really great.

For a blissful sugar overload, try the sticky brownie . Temper your sugar high with an americano or a macchiato .

Cardamon cake is excellent.

Bring your own cup and be environmentally friendly !

Please fire the hipster baristas with shitty music taste.

Perfect place to hang out with a cup of coffee and some really good friends. Lots of students!

Happy hour from 4-6 p.m. and from 9 p.m.-close. $1 off draft beer . Good beer choices on tap.

Best blueberry bran muffin ever!

favorite cafe

Don't be afraid to ask them to turn down the blaring out of place gangsta rap---kind of a turn off- lol

Best espresso on the Ave. Hands down.

The bagels come with TONS of whipped cream cheese . My favorite.

Enjoy a blueberry bran muffin every morning at 7am before they sell out by 10am

Make sure the internet's working before you drop cash on a drink

Try cappuccino here!

Sit by the green wall, where music is not that loud .

Amazing coffee , and outdoor seating !

Very flakey wifi

A people-watching extravaganza

Gret outdoor smoking area that smells like Shultzy's
