Decent space. Food service was quick, the team seems well managed, etc. Food was good, not over the top with any condiments. Attenders and manager were decent during my visit.
Cons:
Bathroom bin was broken, low on paper, not the cleanest when I was there. People do not seem to understand how important a bathroom is to a space. They should do better to make sure it is spotless. Some woman sitting at a table without her mask, was sneezing and coughing up a storm. It was unnerving. Also, no vaccination check was asked for. Might be well to check folks out who are lobbying and unless they are eating

I had to eat outside because of the vaccine card rule. Those cards are easy to make. How many people have a phone pic of their fake vac card?

Great neighborhood coffee shop. The quiche is wonderful and so is the pie. If you want to save $1, there's a day old pastry basket by the juice case.

Baking is excellent! So far in Seattle Ive only had South American blends or French roast coffee for drip or pour overs. Irwins is no exception. Maybe the Kenyan or other African single origins are earlier in the week? Want to try again when Im in town again. Service was good.

The perfect pull of espresso and delicious bagel sandwiches in a cute little neighborhood cafe. Their bakery items also look amazing, and I will absolutely come back again to try all of them
Edit had to get the apple pecan scone and I am now in a caffinated pastry heaven.

Not a fan. Staff was not in the mood to be friendly. I prefer a larger selection of healthy options for meals. It would be helpful to have calories and fat information listed by each item. They could not omit mayonnaise from sandwiches because they said they make them up ahead of time. They are a niche business and cannot possibly please everyone so I do not feel put out at all. Its in a nice neighborhood with many beautiful flowers up and down the streets. Outdoor seating is available including a more secluded one towards the back of the building.
