Urban Coffee Lounge recently opened their second location, just south of Totem Lake in the Slater 116 building. After waiting in line just to get into the Rose Hill Starbucks parking lot on 85th, then finally giving up once I got into the parking lot because there were no available parking spots, I decided to head down the road and give Urban Coffee Lounge a try. I wasn’t disappointed.
Whether you stop in for one of their signature drinks like the Honey Caramel Cinnamon Latte or the Salted Maple Latte, or sit down for lunch with one of their specialty sandwiches, you’ll be delighted by not only the food and beverages, but the experience as well. You can actually have a conversation with someone sitting across from you without having to raise your voice. They do play music in the background, but it’s not overbearing like many other coffee shops I’ve been to. The environment is a mix of modern-industrial coupled with warm and comfortable–Inviting and interesting.
In addition to the typical coffee shop pastries (and some not so typical ones), the sandwich selection wasn’t what you would typically find elsewhere. Included in their sandwich selection are offerings such as the Chicken Curry Wrap, Freebird Turkey Sandwich, Chicken Basil Sandwich, Organic Peppenwolf Sandwich, and Organic Yam & Kale Wrap.
Urban Coffee Lounge currently has two locations. One in Juanita Village at 9744 NE 119th Way and their new Slater 116 location at 12348 NE 115th Place.
