Iced mocha was so tasty!! You can tell they love the folks in the neighborhood and they love them back. The coffee came back a little warm for an iced latte but still nothing short of delicious!

Cesar is honestly the best. The food is always amazing, no matter how busy, he still makes you feel so welcome. The location is so cozy and homey. Makes you feel very welcome and safe. When we come back into town, we will be back. It's always a must do for every time we come to Seattle.

What a cute spot with such friendly service! I couldn't decide between breakfast or lunch so ended up getting (to share) the Strawberry Nutella Waffle, Eggplant Panini and an egg sandwich. The waffle was a huge hit, and the eggplant panini wasn't all wet and soggy when I got home like many other paninis can be while ordering takeout. I'll have to go back to try the coffee, but the prices here are great for what you get and it's such a treat to be able to try multiple things on the menu as a vegetarian, instead of just being stuck with one option. Can't wait to come again! xxo, Liana

Immediately you feel like you're walking into a friend's establishment! Great attitude, excellent food and coffee- we will be back! Small little nook in the neighborhood- we need more businesses like this one

After a long walk thru the arboretum I decided to stop in for a snack and coffee. Was greeted quickly, served just as fast and pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was! Friendly service, fresh strawberries, tasty latte and decent pricing.

The service was super friendly and efficient! Very kind people! It also had a really pretty ambiance. The waffle was tasty. The matcha was pretty good. I'd certainly recommend it.

Arosa Cafe may be small, but it sure makes up for it with its comfy PNW decor, great service, and delightful food. Hidden in a plaza next to the arboretum, this place can be easy to miss - but it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a nice brunch scene. My wife and I ordered: Chicken avocado panini Carne mechada panini Chicken coconut curry soup The paninis were nice and light, and I would highly recommend the chicken avocado panini. I do love my paninis, and the char was crispy and the avocado added a lot of flavor with each bite. The carne mechada was a bit dry - however, the owner quickly brought out some garlic aioli, which was a huge savior for the panini. Overall, the paninis were pretty tasty. Not a huge fan of the soups - they were pretty mediocre. But the paninis were great, and I was eyeing, with great envy, every waffle that passed my way (they looked nice too). The food's pretty good - not the best, but far from the worst. But what gives this place its unique "umph" that pushes this review to a 5-star rating is its vibe and the pleasantries of the staff. The walls are adorned with photos and art that adds to the character of the cafe, and there's a mini-makers mart on the other side to help sell small trinkets and candles to support local artists. It's a sight to behold, and one that just makes this place that much more lovable. So come on in to Arosa's Cafe and admire the cozy nature of this shop. They are planning on establishing another location up north in Ravenna, and we will soon be frequenting that location once it settles.

The food here is really good but the standout is truly the amazing service. This is functionally a "grab n' go" coffee shop but...done to the highest possible level. The breakfast sandwiches are handmade and delicious and there is a deluxe, but tiny, indoor dining area and two small tables outside. I was a bit disappointed to not find any arepas (the main reason I came here), but the staff informed me that they only do those on Saturday. Also a bummer that they charge for coffee refills.
