Best espresso in this neighborhood and great experience overall. The store has a counter for dessert and one for coffee drinks. The room is clean, bright, lively yet not too noisy. The wooden accents add a touch of coziness. I loved it!

Congee was yummy. I am used to more savory congee, this one had a more sour and vinegar note to it. It had like 6 pieces of chicken so quite hearty. It comes with a boiled egg. I had the cheesecakes before since this brand is sold in many grocery stores. The grocery stores sometime sells it cheaper than here. I had the ube latte, and it was good. It was sweet with a nice hint of ube. Parking in chinatown can be difficult during seahawk games. This location is walking distance from the bus station. This place has free wifi too. You order up front then they call your name for food and drinks to be picked up. You bus your own tables as well.

First-time customer alert !!📢⚠️ - On the outside, they had multiple doors but only 1 area to enter/exit. - Inside it was pretty with many decorations and designs. 🖼 - Alot of space to sit and eat🪑 - Came here to try their drinks, and they did not disappoint. The drinks were so goodddd. - Had the Ice Ube/Pandan latte and changed it to Oat Milk.🍵🍵🍵 - Drinks were perfect and not sweet at all, even with Oat Milk Changing.🌾 - We also went on a whim and had the cupcake to try. Cupcake is a No. It was not good and was not worth the cost.🧁 - It was dry and tasted like I was eating cardboard. - Would be nice if they accepted cash. CARD only guys!! 💳💳💳 - I am only rating this place as 4/5 because the drinks were superb, and the vibes were nice.

Great cozy, bright, modern cafe with a Filipino twist. Definitely recommend getting an Ube Latte or an Ube coffee. Basically just get your favorite espresso drink with Ube.

Loved that the coffee I selected came with a little information card. Wish there were more vegan options, but I was able to try sticky rice for the first time so I can't complain too much! Staff were friendly and gave great recommendations.

This place was yummy! My friends live around the area and took me here, and we ordered some drinks and snacks. They frequent it often, and told me everything was good. Every bite I tried was indeed good! I ordered the mango peach empanada and a matcha lilikoi 🫶 very delicious! My friends ordered the pandan latte and it was also so good! Nice staff, and great environment if you want to meet up with friends!

Hip Filipino cafe across from king at station. They have lots of ube treats and drinks but we opted for two oat milk lattes. The art on the lattes was very well done and the lattes were velvety smooth. Service was friendly and the vibe was hip/modern. We did find this to be one of the more expensive cafes in International district/pioneer square/ downtown. (We paid $22 for two lattes and a fruit empanada) We also wish they would open earlier than 8 so we could stop in before work.

Hood Famous Cafe + Bar is an amazing place to go to in the international district. There is tons of nearby parking, there’s a parking lot behind the building which is really easy to access. You can also park on the street if you insist. Hood Famous is very easy to find and is in a great area. When you walk in, it is very clean with plenty of seating. The menu is very easy to read. Have displays of the foods they have. There’s even a retail section if you want to buy some apparel. If you have any questions they are willing to help you. They also accept cards / tap to pay. While waiting for your food or drink there’s plenty of seats to sit at so you’re not stuck standing around. You’re able to sit at the bar area and watch the baristas make the drinks. While I was waiting at the bar area, Raquel was making my drink and she was really helpful with my questions and had great recommendations. I will be definitely coming back to the cafe and try all the recommendations that Raquel told me. They have all sorts of drinks / teas / coffees and foods!

**Hood Famous Cafe + Bar: Delicious Delights Await!** I had an amazing time at Hood Famous Cafe + Bar. Their Asian-inspired pandan latte and Ube latte were a hit, and the variety of drinks and food options impressed me. The cozy ambiance, adorned with plants and wood textiles, made my experience even better. The staff's excellent service left a lasting impression. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this gem to everyone I know! **Rating: 5 out of 5**

We went here after hearing about a Filipino cafe near Uwajimaya. I tried their ube latte. The coffee was pretty good but the ube flavour wasn’t too strong. I would probably come back here to try something else instead since they had a number of Filipino inspired items on their menu. They had lots of yummy looking pastries like guava cheesecake, buko (coconut) pandan cheesecake, calamansi cream trifle, etc. There were lots of seats available, so it’s a good place to hang out with friends or do some work. We were luckily able to find free street parking nearby.
