Many options are available to suit your personal study needs

Miro lies in the heart of Ballard, on a brick street lined with other small businesses. Walking into Miro, it’s almost guaranteed to smell like their legendary whole-wheat crepes. My favorite, their Cristy crepe, is a thin pancake filled with fresh spinach and goat cheese. On top of this is ham and a fried egg.

Although their crepes are somewhat expensive, they’re definitely worth the extra bucks. Next to each of these food options on the menu, Miro has something called “Pair it!,” where they list a few teas that would complement each of the items.

My favorite teas are the Traditional Chai and the Earl Grey de la Creme.

Miro is one of my favorite places to study because it’s so comfortable. The environment is warm and welcoming, just like the employees.

There is a variety of different seating options: a few three-person tables, a handful of two-person tables, two long communal tables, a narrow bar counter and a comfortable couch. Most of these spots have an accessible outlet, which makes it really easy to plug in headphones and work for hours.

One of the only downsides to studying at Miro is the parking. I always find myself circling the block 20 times before finding a spot. Another option would be to find a parking lot, which is more costly. However if you are prepared to walk a longer distance, it’s relatively easy to find a spot on a residential street farther away. The lack of parking is just a small setback that doesn’t overweigh the positives of studying at Miro.
