Ampersand Cafe on Alki

Enhance your beach day getaway with a visit to Ampersand Cafe on Alki! Owners Marisa and Daryl Waits have operated the cozy cafe since 2013, serving espresso beverages brewed from Hawaiian coffee beans, homemade pastries, and sandwiches.

If it’s sunny, take advantage of your outdoor patio and sip your coffee while soaking in the sea breeze, or opt to stay inside and enjoy the view of the Sound through their large windows. If you’re hungry, they offer breakfast and lunch options like egg bakes, french toast, and veggie paninis. 

Tip: Don’t skip their fun specialty beverages like the Fizzy Lifting Drink, consisting of a double shot of espresso, housemade almond syrup, Pellegrino, and topped off with a splash of cream.
