Broadcast Coffee & Bakery

The best example of a local coffee house... Broadcast is modest, but it reflects the richness of its location at the top of the ID, bordering the Central District. The crowd is very local and mellow and lovely.
Delicious drinks... Tea and coffee... Great chai. They have a good-sized selection of baked goods and sandwiches... Seems mostly all vegetarian/vegan. But I must rave about the Ozaku Pan I had there...I keep thinking about it; Little Japanese savory buns stuffed with lentils or veggies...I swear I'm going over there and buying half a dozen next time I'm town!!
Parking is a beast... Let me be honest... Street parking and it's a little nuts. But worth it!

Unsure what’s with the new dog motif but it’s still great coffee.

I have been here multiple times. But I always forgot to leave a review. Excellent coffee shop in Roosevelt. They always have innovative seasonal drinks. From our most recent visit, the oat cappuccino and vanilla latte were solid drinks. Their coffee tastes great all the time. The staff is always patient and kind. We always come here after our grocery runs in Whole Foods nearby. Sharing some photos from my old visits. They have changed their name to Fred by Broadcast.

The cold brew is always incredible, and I love the atmosphere!

Beautiful café. I had a Mezzo coffee in the café and it was poured in a to go cup, I wish they would serve it in a real mug.Anyway, the coffee itself was great, and the atmosphere was clean, enjoyable.Very nice place for conversation or remote work.

I've given this spot plenty of opportunities to change my experience, but it continues to be the same. There is a person who works there (glasses) who is the most snobby, rude person I've encountered in a while. Today, we came in right at opening (7am) because our gym was closed till 8. He said some under the breath comments when we came and asked if we could wait inside, as he was clearly running behind. He was like "you guys must be eager for a coffee to enter a dark coffee shop so yeah, I guess". It's just unacceptable. He also prioritized putting out chairs for outside seating (outside, Seattle, 7am) instead of prioritizing customers inside the store. He was still setting up by 7:05, and didn't apologize for the wait or anything. His attitude is super off-putting and hard to believe it's the best option to put in front of customers. During other times, he's sassed me for clarifying which drink was at the bar with "it's the drink I said it was". With so many great coffee shops in the area, there's no reason to return here again.

Pretty good! The lavender syrup tasted too much like the bottom of a new plastic water bottom.

Wonderful coffees, choices, amazing roast! Wow, thank you! ? ?

My favorite coffee shop in Roosevelt.

Good tasting coffee just a long line, mediocre service ( they didn’t ask if I wanted room or anything in a drip).Also acted like I was dumb when I didn’t understand the breakfast sandwiches were in the fridge which also essentially made me lose a spot in line. Well the breakfast sandwich sucked anyway so pretty lame .

Good coffee shop in the Roosevelt

They've forgotten to make my drinks 4 times in a row. After the third time, I sent an email to the management to alert them that their drink order system isn't working. This afternoon was the 4th time the barista simply did not make my drink. When I asked the barista what kind of ticket system Broadcast had, so they could keep track of drinks, she said that sometimes things got crazy when it got busy, and there was no system. Management: You have a problem.
