Sunshine Espresso
About This Spot
Sunshine Espresso feels like that familiar corner of your neighborhood where time gently slows down, even in the busiest morning rush. Tucked away on 15th Ave NE in Shoreline, this coffee shop invites you into a space where warmth and attentive care shape the rhythm of the day. From the moment you step inside, the air hums softly with the comforting blend of fresh coffee and quiet conversations, setting a tone that’s both grounding and quietly uplifting.
The pace here is unhurried yet purposeful, a balance struck by baristas who know that the perfect latte isn’t just about the right temperature—it’s about the feeling that comes with each carefully crafted cup. Whether you’re stopping by for a classic espresso or indulging in the subtle spices of their Mexican Spice Mocha, there’s a sense of connection in every sip. It’s in the thoughtful preparation, the friendly nods exchanged across the counter, and the way morning rituals become quieter moments of joy.
More than just a spot for caffeine, Sunshine Espresso feels like a small haven where neighbors start their days and regulars are greeted by name. The menu modestly extends beyond coffee, with housemade treats and hearty breakfast sandwiches that echo the simple pleasures of a morning well spent. The staff’s easy kindness adds layers to the experience—a place where you might catch a bit of local life, a shared smile, or even a story while waiting for your drink.
Stepping inside, it’s clear that Sunshine Espresso is more than just a coffee shop. It’s a pause in the day, a familiar corner, and a quietly warm welcome that makes it easy to feel a little more connected to the neighborhood and the little things that brighten everyday moments.

I’ve gotten coffee here quite a few times now. The first time I stopped it was out of convenience on Wednesday 5/1 and the lady working was super cool, she said that she could hear when the milk was at the right temperature. She handed me the Carmel macchiato and said it should be perfect drinking temperature, as I drove off and sipped it I was shocked at how perfect my beverage was… temp and taste. Yum! I went out of my way the next 2 days dying for a cup of that perfect caramel macchiato, it wasn’t quite as good the next 2 times, kind of tasted like water. I went again yesterday 6/1 and had another amazing Carmel macchiato. The other coffee shop I recently just discovered gives out the most amazing chocolate covered coffee beans so unless you guys start throwing some of those on your drinks I will most likely only be stopping here when I’m passing by. Unless I find out what days the lady that can hear that the milk temperature is perfect works, I would go out of my way for her cup of coffee for sure! Her and the girl that worked Saturday 6/1 around 1:30pm get 5 stars ⭐

I’ve been getting coffee here for about a year now and I’ve only ever had a good experience. The baristas are always so kind and my order has always been quick and accurate. Love this place! :)
