If you’re heading to the airport, you already know the drill — lines, security, boarding passes, and the inevitable bad airport coffee. But here’s the good news: your pre-flight caffeine fix doesn’t have to come from a chain café at Gate B.
Just ten minutes north of Sea-Tac, Little Jaye Bakery in South Park has quietly become the best coffee shop near Sea-Tac Airport — a hidden gem where travelers and locals alike fuel up before takeoff.
Skip the Terminal Coffee
Forget the burnt espresso and rushed service. At Little Jaye, we believe coffee should feel like a pause — not a pit stop.
Our baristas take pride in crafting drinks, with Stamp Act Coffee, that taste as good as they look, from the Tiramisu Cold Foam Latte to the Caramel Apple Latte, and of course, the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte (because fall travel deserves flavor).
Each drink is made with thoughtfully sourced espresso, balanced syrups, and a whole lot of care — the kind of coffee you actually look forward to drinking on your way to the airport.
The Pre-Flight Combo: Coffee + Breakfast All Day
If you’re catching an early flight, or rolling out for a red-eye, our all-day breakfast menu has you covered.
Grab a Smashwich, Vegewich, or Ham & Cheddar Biscuit, and pair it with your latte for the perfect travel-day meal. And if you’re more of a sweet-tooth flyer, our Shokupan Doughnuts — this month’s flavor is Pumpkin Pie — are the kind of comfort food that can turn a TSA line into a minor inconvenience.
You can even grab your favorites to go — our setup makes it easy to swing by, grab your coffee and breakfast, and still make it to the airport stress-free.
Easy Access from I-5 and SR 509
Little Jaye isn’t buried in airport chaos — we’re just a quick hop from I-5 or SR 509, making us a smart stop for anyone headed to Sea-Tac from Seattle, Burien, or West Seattle.
You can be in and out in under 10 minutes, or sit and enjoy the morning sunshine on our patio before you hit the road.
So next time you’re planning a trip, skip the airport coffee altogether. Come see why locals (and now travelers) are calling Little Jaye the best coffee shop near Sea-Tac Airport.
Your flight might be delayed — but at least your coffee won’t disappoint.
