Makes a mean latte. Staff was so pleasant. Perfect poundcake. Great first stop in Seattle.

The coffee spot is 100%. Friendly batistas good snacks and excellent coffee

When you are getting out of Seatac airport & looking for coffee, you will be surprised to find Kappa Espresso with the highest rating in the area.When you drive up to the location, you might miss the Coffee shop sign. This is opposite to Key Bank and on the same building which has Seatac Barber and Seatac Bakery.When you enter the small coffee shop, you are welcomed with a smell of grinded coffee smell and a smile & someone who asks your name and asks about your day before asking what you want to have! The bakery goods shelf attracts you instantly!We ordered Coffee Latte and Cappuccino. They had good aroma and seem to have been roasted longer to leave a strong aroma and a slight smoky flavor.We also ordered the Cannoli which is not the Italian version but a flaky pastry filled with not-so-sweet custard which we loved. It had the right sweetness and good flaky-ness.Parking is a nightmare as there is no parking on the street but something on the side which feels like someones home!

If you want to feel at home and part of the family, this is the place to go. So happy to have found somewhere so cozy in the city.

Fantastic place to stop! The espresso is incredible, the staff is rock solid, and the vibes are high. Dont miss your opportunity to stop in!

The best coffee date make that tastes really good I really like it every morning I want to go there I want to spend 1 hour and a half I was talking the guy theyre social person I love it when they make coffee they make with the Heart with the flower they make your the best coffee

Coffee is fresh and delicious and the owner is so friendly and wonderful!! I had just rolled into town on an early flight from MN. He set me up with a tall black coffee with enough espresso shots to keep me awake on the drive down to Mount Rainer and back to Tacoma that night. It’s a must stop! I’ll definitely be back!

What a great place to get delicious coffee! Bini is a great person to sit and have a conversation with while he makes your delicious 20oz Mezzo (quad Americano with 1/2 water and 1/2 Steamed cream). My husband Dennis and I have decided to make it our every Saturday morning coffee run! Thank you for the hospitality Bini.

Came here because of the great reviews and was not disappointed!! Lulu was so kind, helpful and personable. First time trying Ethiopian coffee and ended up buying a bag of coffee to take home. I highly recommend this place if youre in the area and enjoy really good coffee and service.

Bini makes the best white chocolate mochas!

Senait is very friendly and attentive. Stopped by for a snack but was in a rush so opted for a pumpkin pie Italian soda instead of a sandwich (tasty looking options but would take ~8min to heat up). I dont like things very sweet so I requested less sweet. Senait let me know she usually does 6 pumps-- so glad I requested 3! Hope they have quicker to-go snacks/veggie options in the future and so excited to try coffee next time-- apparently they use Ethiopian beans and it smelled so good!

Absolutely lovely owner, I asked him what his favorite coffee is and he went through his whole process with me. His recommendation was delicious, the perfect temperature, and I just cant recommend this place more! Superb service and delicious coffee.

We were driving to Seattle in search for coffee. While looking over these reviews we decided to give Kappa a try. From the moment we walked in the gentleman who helped us was very helpful, and did a great job with making our drinks. I would highly recommend this shop for a more personal experience.Andrew and Olivia

Great coffee and super friendly! First time coming in and the barista was super nice and assured our drinks were made how we liked. Good stop for a drink and a bite!

Wonderful house roasted coffee from Ethiopia. Great service and great coffee!

Sunknight (I dont know how to spell her name...) is a genius at coffee!!! I asked her for a peppermint mocha and then to surprise me with customizing it. Its now my new favorite drink! Im bummed I dont live here or I would go all the time. Best coffee Ive had in a long time!!!

Cute cafe conveniently located by the airport if you’re looking for delicious coffee while waiting to pick someone up at the airport. Service was fast and extremely courteous. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing customer services, the coffee is delicious. I will highly recommend anyone to check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Great and friendly service, green juice was amazing and delicious 🤤.

Very good coffee and very nice staff. Great little café, stopped here before I went on a trip and was not disappointed! I will be back if I am ever in the area.

Excellent coffee, amazing pastries and great customer service. Lulu and Bini are great what they do and wonderful with their customers, thank you guys!!!

We had a lovely experience and great coffee. The owners are so kind and welcoming and can make a great cup of coffee. Would highly recommend.

So Welcoming, a very Talented Barista, delicious pastries… what more could you ask for. In a time where we are all wearing masks and smiles are missed, I can tell you that this crew smiles with there eyes and you quickly forget about Covid for a second. It was so nice, everyone there welcome you into there establishment like an old friend. I found my new neighborhood coffee spot. If you’re in the neighborhood you should see what I am gassin on about. Thanks for going that extra mile, it is appreciated and felt.

This is my ultimate favorite coffee spot! Great coffee and even greater customer service! Lulu and Bini make the best coffee & I always have the best conversations with them! I’ve never had such experience anywhere else. If you are looking for quality coffee look no further than Kappa espresso. Worth every dime!

Love this tiny coffee shop! Such a great addition to our neighborhood. Great coffee, pastries and sandwiches.

Highly recommend their cappuccino, they know the proper way to make one. Great coffee, near gas stations when you need to return your rental car.

Absolutely fabulous latte. This man knows how to pull a shot. This place is a real treasure..If you enjoy excellent coffee you just have to try this place!

The best coffee that I have in life so far. You better go to test amazing one

Great place!!! You should stop by and try their coffee. It’s worth every penny. Lulu helped me out, dude was very professional, experienced and knew what he was doing. Will be coming a lot.

Phenomenal coffee flavor and great mochas! Every time I go in the staff is incredibly friendly and the diverse group makes for great conversation. They’ve made great use of a small space and have really created something unique!

We were looking for a coffee before an appt in the area, and stopped in. Young man is from the region of Africa close to Ethiopia and uses authentic Ethiopian beans.... he knows what he is doing and gave me the best Latte I have had in a very long time! Highly Recommended!

Great americano and the friendliest place you could ever ask for. Also has snacks and pastries available.

Happened upon this small place by SeaTac airport by accident. All other coffee shops (Sbux- blah) take note!! The coffee is superb, the place was clean and Bini immediately made me feel like family. Ill be stopping here before my flight home. Great spot and best of luck!

Very friendly my wife said it was the best Iced Vanilla latte she has ever had!

Excellent coffee and wonderful staff who make you feel like you are part of the family!

Im a coffee connoisseur of sorts and stumbled upon this gem while waiting for a flight to come in. Bini roasts his own beans and has an incredible passion for coffee and quality. Definitely top 5 coffee in Seattle, and maybe number one. They have cannoli too! I go out of my way to get here every time Im in the area.

What a lovely gem so close to the airport! The owner was super friendly and the latte was delicious. Definitely check it out when youre near SeaTac.

The guys here are superb! Feel so much better going here rather than expensive Starbucks, and Kappa tastes wayyy better! Go check it out and see for yourself! These guys are awesome!!!!

Very friendly staff/owners with great coffee!

Uh, quite possibly the best cappuccino Ive had in Seattle...?

Just stopped in for an espresso and it was delicious. Friendly people there, too.

Believe the reviews! Bini is a great person with great conversation all while brewing a cup of perfection. Is definitely my new coffee stop every time I’m in Seattle.

This is what Coffee/espresso should taste like, in house hand roasted beans made with 100% genuinely authentic love and appreciation for the bean! Plus the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, cant ask for a better way to start the day.

Oh. Really awesome coffee., nice staff and customers are treated very well. An extra star is deserved !!

I left my dentist, and my tongue was still 50% numb. While I felt awkward talking, I had no problems. The amazing staff made a delicious mocha for me, and I was able to carry on with my day with a delicious coffee and knowing I supported a local business. :)

Absolutely 5 stars. Delicious coffee, friendly management, warm welcome and so generous made my day.

The guy pulling the coffee was super nice and knowledgeable. The coffee was delicious! I would definitely visit here again.

Employees were extremely friendly and were able to make phenomenal recommendations, and the coffee was delicious. Highly recommend giving them your business, it was absolutely worth it.

Wanted a good coffee after flying in, googled, saw the reviews and headed straight there. Exceeded our expectations!! Definitely headed back when we fly out!

Had an amazing customer service experience here the other day. The vibe inside and outside was super nice. The coffee was excellent and I would know because I drink a lot of it lol. I am definitely coming back.

GREAT COFFEE AND GREAT HOSPITALITY GREAT TESTY CAKE IM SURE YOU WONT REGRET IT IT IS THAT GOOD KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS THANKS.

So far the best customer service and coffee I had in Tukwila. Great central location and interior from a funky neighborhood. The coffee though is served way too hot! so be careful. Also I suggest you request a double shot as my husband thinks the single shot coffee is just okay. But overall a great quick stop cafe.

Excellent customer service. The owner, Bini, takes pride in his coffee and customers. Very close to the airport and easy to get to. The interior has a lot of warmth and thought behind it. This place is a gem, do yourself a favor and stop by!

I almost never leave a review, but I felt like I need to give thanks for the exceptional customer service and a delicious expresso at Kappa. I would have given them a 10 start if that was possible. Bini the owner is a down to earth guy and very passionate about the coffee he makes

I LOVE the realistic notes of boldness with great taste and aroma of this coffee. The moment I opened the bag, the smell was incredible. When I tried it, I loved the rich and fresh, smooth flavor it provided. I have drunk this coffee a couple of times now, and I am addicted. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends. Its a must-try.

I live 2 blocks from kappa espresso, I keep passing by until Bini the owner greeted me and told me about what they serve the SeaTac community. I tested the coffee now the minute I open my eyes I think of kappa. Recommend thank you Bini.

Great coffee! A must stop if you are near the airport. They are super close but easy to get to and from. Love dedicated independent places like this.

Outstanding customer service with great coffee to match it. Highly recommend getting a double shot. Even with a caffeine intolerance from preworkout supplements and years of coffee drinking, this coffee still packs a punch. These guys know their stuff!

Its cozy, very clean, delicious latte and friendly crew. You should to try it.

Coffee owner is very passionate about his coffee which you can taste in his well roasted coffee. He’s importing his beans and he really knows what he is doing. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Great coffee and great energy. If you need an amazing cup of coffee, please support this awesome small business owner in these hard times

Excellent coffee, atmosphere, conversation and attitude.

Very friendly, incredibly nice and passionate store owners and amazing coffee. Great customer service, Thank you for making our coffee extra special. Finding parking can be quite a challenge but the coffee is definitely worth it.

Always pleasant and friendly environment with testy espresso. Thank you kappa I will be there once in a week.

I stop getting my morning coffee from star bucks after I found this place, very welcoming batista, delicious ☕.

Great shots, great aesthetics, good conversation. Checks all my boxes perfectly.

Coffee was amazing!!! Better than Starbucks and a lot stronger🙏🏾 The customer service was also very nice! Will definitely go back again when in the area.

Stop settling for a mediocre coffee expresso experience. If you like real fresh coffee, this place is the best in the Pacific North West! Dont hesitate to grab a Italian soda on those warmer months...

Got coffee there this morning and the hospitality and customer service is so great- but the coffee might be even greater! Delicious, friendly. Will be back soon!

This place is the best coffee shop in Tukwila. The owner is so passionate about every cup he makes and every person that walks thru his door. He is so welcoming and friendly and will not only make your day better with the beat tasting coffee I have had anywhere, including Iraq but he will make your day better with his warm smile and conversation. Highly highly worth it to stop in to Kappa espresso.

One of my favourite coffeeshops so far!Thank you guys!
