Satsuma Maple

I have visited this coffee shop twice and both times loved everything I saw and ate. The atmosphere is conducive to work as well as social gatherings. It seems a lively spot in its community. Additionally, I like very much that 12% gratuity is added automatically. I think most people give at least that much and having it already added means that you can just order and be done while knowing that everyone that works there shares that tip and it helps provide a standard living wage consistently. For that alone, I would be a patron but it has more! The teas are wonderful. The hibiscus tea is a rare and welcome find. The menu is inviting and can be modified. Everything is made fresh. There's a good amount of parking and pets are welcome. There is an adorable water station outside. I most definitely recommend Satsuma!

Great place for brunch! Got there on Sunday at noon and found the spot pretty busy. Hence, I had to change the dish I wanted to order initially. The staff was fast and the food was at a decent level.

I’ve been going to Satsuma for a long time. But as of yesterday, I will not be returning. My husband and I were walking with our baby and dog and wanted to sit outside. We got there at 2:02 and some employee outside told us it was not possible as she puts the tables up at 2. When we arrived there was a party of 4 sitting outside and one other table (not in use) with 4 chairs. We asked if we could sit there since it wasn’t put up yet and the girl told us “No, sorry but I can help you get a to-go order!” We had a problem with this because 1) she was rushing to put the tables away and didn’t even take into account the fact that we were customers ready to pay and sit down and enjoy our meal because we could not sit inside. We would’ve been out in twenty minutes, and 2) there was an entire hour before closing. She even went as far as running with the table after this ordeal. Poor girl. As a business owner myself, I’m sure the owners of this establishment would be ashamed to know their own employees are turning customers away when it inconveniences them. So much for southern hospitality. What a shame. We really enjoyed this place but cannot stand lazy people.

My daughter and I ate here for breakfast. Really great atmosphere with a wrap around outdoor patio. It's all about the biscuits here! I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and it was very good! The biscuit is buttery and perfectly baked. All very reasonable prices for the quality of food. I didn't get to try their fresh orange juice but it looked great.

We visited at 1:30 on Sunday and sat outside on the patio. Around 2:15 the server hastily and, quite rudely, began breaking down the furniture, slamming dishes, and snatching items away from our table. We looked to see when the restaurant closed and it was posted online that it was 3. The server aggressively confronted us and berated us for choosing to sit outside because they closed the patio at 2, but we were not given this information when we ordered. I normally don't post reviews, but all of this could have been avoided if it were simply communicated to us. I hate that the employees are stressed to the point that this situation would occur to patrons. The food was quite tasty, though.

So you want a salad. Missing out on fresh greens after all the great food the city has to offer? The answer is the Kale Caesar. I love a Caesar salad and I have had few that rival this one. First, Satsuma knows how to dress a salad. Most places don't and that's why "dressing on the side" exists. I did not ask for dressing on the side and I'm glad I didn't. They use Lacinato kale which is so much better than the bagged kale we have to suffer through usually and the Caesar dressing just coats it so perfectly. The other standouts on this salad are the breadcrumbs which came from actual slices of bread, and the bacon. Yes, there is bacon on this salad and it is delicious and should be on all Caesar salads because it makes eating salad a pleasure. I tried the lavender lemonade and suffered through that, but all in all the meal was great. Just don't forget they charge 12% for the staff on all orders as if you're in Seattle. It was well publicized and the cashier let me know as well, so, if you're someone that finds pleasure in griping about life, keep on walking.

My son & I met friends for brunch here. He had a bacon, egg, & cheese croissant (yeah, original) & I had green eggs & ham. It was delicious. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also amazing! I would recommend this cool little spot to anyone!

Food came out quickly. So yummy. We had a bagel, green eggs and ham, and the avocado toast. All very tasty and satisfying, but not too heavy. They have a variety of coffee (regular, espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc.) and some pastries too. My sandwich was on a croissant (you can choose your bread) and it was sooo flaky. Every time I touched it you got that crinkle.
