The owners remember your name and your order. Warm spot, good coffee, and a great view of downtown from the windows.

Had lunch here and the chicken salad with homemade potato salad was excellent. Fresh, fast, and not over-seasoned at all.

The blueberry muffin was perfect, just the right sweetness and texture. Paired it with a latte and sat by the window.

First visit to Kel's last weekend and I loved everything about it. The ambience with the exposed brick and the wood trim was just beautiful. The sausage breakfast burrito was delicious and obviously freshly made. The coffee was divine, the service stellar. I can't wait to go back!

Opened recently after a long and very nicely done remodel. Located in a historic brick building on Hewitt. Nice comfortable seating, and I really enjoyed a great latte and muffin up front while people-watching through the windows.

Best sandwiches in Everett, hands down. Just had the chicken salad today, and a finer example does not exist!

04 Our story

A long road to the
corner of Hewitt.

"Over a year to get here. Worth every bit of it."

Sam Dahl always wanted a cafe of his own. It took well over a year to make it happen at 1909 Hewitt Avenue, right in the middle of downtown Everett, a short walk from Angel of the Winds Arena.

Permits, health-department backlogs, more phone calls than he'd like to count. On June 18, 2025, Sam and his mom cut the ribbon together. A year on, the regulars are steady, the menu is consistent, and a bar is taking shape downstairs.

Made to Order

Espresso pulled to order, pastries baked each morning.

Rooted Downtown

Locally owned, built specifically for downtown Everett.

Family Run

Sam and his mom opened this together. That shows in how it runs.
