"This is a sweet neighborhood spot with consistently good coffee, but the interior could really use a redesign. Right now the seating feels crowded and cluttered and like a cafeteria, which makes it uncomfortable for relaxing or working. An interior refresh could make a huge difference. A more intentional layout with fewer, better-placed tables, some comfortable lounge chairs, and updated work-friendly surfaces would transform the café into a warm, cozy place people want to stay in longer. This shop has so much potential and an improved design would really let it shine."

"I recently visited Sunshine Coffee on 35th Ave NE, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The space is warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. There’s a two-story setup with plenty of seating, natural light, and a calm vibe that makes it feel like a true neighborhood hangout. The coffee was excellent—I had cappuccino , and it was smooth, rich, and balanced. They also have a great selection of pastries and breakfast options, many of which are locally sourced. I tried Cornetto and it was fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall good energy of the place. Whether you're just stopping in for a quick drink or planning to stay a while, Sunshine Coffee is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Highly recommend!"

"It was my first time here, and it’s such a cute two-story coffee shop. It was a bit crowded, but I was still able to find a seat. I ordered a café latte and it was good. The vibe was a mix: a few UW students quietly studying and some louder visitors having a meeting. I appreciated that they offer stainless steel cups near the water station. Free street parking is limited, so plan ahead if you’re driving."

"Went to this establishment for the first time and the shop was lovely. The first barista who rang up my order was nice and friendly, but the other barista who was making my coffee was not friendly at all. When she served. My coffee she rarely looked at when I said thank you. Although the place is lovely I don’t think I’ll step in there again."

"The baristas are very nice, and the drinks come out really fast. The space is spacious with good lighting, and the music is calm and not too loud. The internet connection is great, making it a perfect spot to get work done. Plus, it’s pet-friendly, making it the best coffee shop in the neighborhood."
