I ducked into this shop to hide from the rain today and it was super cool! It’s like a bookstore+cafe combined and the environment is really chill with most patrons on their laptops, reading, or meeting friends. I did not purchase any books, but their iced latte and wifi was great! Will note that it was a bit hard to find a good spot to sit at as all the tables in the atrium were full

One of the coziest bookstore/cafe combos I've experienced. Really love the curation of books, you'll definitely find something to read here. I especially loved their selection of pictures books! The shelf in the center featured books from Seattle writers and the walls have staff recommendations neatly displayed. There's also plenty of community events to attend, too! Looking forward to coming back to do some studying/work here.

Ada's is one of my favorite spots in the city to have a delightful cup of coffee, connect & work! Parking is pretty easy, and I'm typically able to find free parking. I love this location in Capitol Hill! This place has books for purchase and to enjoy. The details and the sense of community here is awesome! I will return always!

Cute, small café—just like the name suggests, it mainly sells technical books. Seating is limited, with a few spots in the front and back. The coffee was good, but a small Americano cost about $6. Street parking is $4 per hour.

Great cafe, with a lovely intentional theme. Beautiful display case cafe tables with electrical inventions, a bright airy space, and great homemade chai. Would recommend the breakfast burrito.
