42 Best Coffee Roasters in Seattle

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“At Boon Boona, sharing a daily cup is about more than just caffeine—it’s about slowing down and connecting. When you choose their coffee, you’re supporting a more equitable coffee economy. They work exclusively with African producers and exporters, ensuring a greater share of profits goes to women-owned farms and communities often overlooked. Their cafes are designed with you in mind—welcoming spaces where you can gather, discover local artists, support nonprofits, and enjoy pop-ups from the small businesses you love.“

“Kind of expensive but totally worth it. The froth on the hot drinks is my favorite. Lasts a lot time as you drink it and makes me happy (: good, spaced out atmosphere (plenty of seating).

Dietary restrictions: There are milk replacements available for 75 cents“

“Nothing could come between me and a cup of Herkimer Coffee, nothing. This joint is sublime. From the classic PNW coffee shop feel to the masterful coffee being roasted on site, Herkimer is coffee Nirvana. Pastries are on point and staff is helpful and qualified to shoot a mean shot. Nice convo with the roasters led to a deeper understanding of the huge contraption on the roof!“

“While I have never visited in person, Broadcast Coffee is by far my most coveted coffee. I absolutely love their coffee! From Columbia Pensilvania, to Columbia Los Angeles, and now Autumn Blend, I can't get enough of this delicious coffee! I LOVE every single coffee I try. I am definitely not afraid of purchasing a full pound of coffee that I haven't first sampled!“

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“Had the cappuccino and it was excellent. Good vibe and lighting, Loved the fact you can see the roaster and smell the fresh coffee bean being roasted. Located in the historic pioneer square. Great spot for local seattle coffee“

““Muse” drink is to die for!“

“This is without a doubt my favorite coffee shop in Seattle. The staff is so friendly and warm - they always remember my name and order. They have amazing pastries and lattes. I recommend the orange hazelnut pinwheels and the iced white chocolate lattes. They have a cute location in SLU - go try them out!“

“I love stopping downtown here on Thursday mornings to grab an iced white chocolate raspberry latte. The coffee is great, music is good, & the vibes are immaculate!“

“This is an outstanding pastry shop and above average coffee shop. Lots of creative options. The place can be quite loud and the style may not fit as many people for relaxing in, but it is worth a visit if wanting to be surprised by something delicious.“

“Very pretty store. Serves classic dark espresso based drinks. The season cherry blossom latte tastes uncannily like a roasted sweet potato. The cappuccino is not bad, lacking a bit in texture but otherwise chocolatey and delivers what you want in a classic cappuccino. You won’t find pourovers or weird funky roasts/distinguishable origins here, but that’s not what they’re marketing anyways!“

“Delicious coffee and baked goods, as well as friendly and inviting baristas! We got banana bread and walnut coffee cake, both moist and flavorful.

With 2 drinks and 2 baked goods, our total (including tip) was around $30.

Great vibe, lovely bright location with plenty of natural light coming in from massive windows. Highly recommend.“

“Stumbled upon this place when in town. Quiet, friendly place and I must admit: the home made caramel is to die for. Don’t miss out on it when in town!!“

“We've used Lighthouse whole beans for many years now, using a Breville conical burr grinder. A great way to go! But could you say a few words about the 'big' grinder you use for your ground bags? How quickly should one be able to get through a ground bag to retain consistency?“

“We’ve lived in this neighborhood for just over 9 months as I write this and Muddy Cup is easily our favorite coffee spot. We spend a lot of our time in the outdoors and the cabin feel & decor of this place evokes Stanley, ID, Moab, UT, insert your favorite small mountain town, with no corporate undertones. The rear patio is tucked back off the road and sheltered by shady trees. The owner/barista Sarah (Sara? sorry if misspelled) is sweet, kind, and doesn’t rush you. Her standard coffees drinks are very well-executed, but when we stop by it’s usually for one of her special concoctions - the Orange You Glad Latte & the Put a Lime in the Coconut Mocha for us today. It’s an easy walk away, so even on the rare occasion I can’t find a seat inside, I enjoy the patio, chat with a neighbor, or take a slow walk home with a tasty drink and a bag of their roasted beans.

“Don't judge the book by its cover -- this place seems run down on the outside, but once you're inside it's the real deal. GREAT coffee. The baristas know what they are doing. If you're more of a tea person, their tea lattes are wonderful -- I had a chai latte and I'm so used to disappointing ones from most cafes. But this one was perfect, and actually "spiced" to perfection. One of the best I have had in town.
It's a very small space inside as well, but cozy. It can get crowded when busy, but its worth it even to just get your coffee to go and head somehwere else if you need to spread out. My new favorite cafe in the U district!“

“Ethical and high quality coffee. Yummy hot cocoa and pastries (my kids ❤️). GF cookies. Great collaborations with other local businesses!“

“Ok ok so I’m not from Seattle at all. In North Carolina we have coffee shops that are almost all mediocre at best. I had no clue just how good coffee could be. My wife and i stopped in here randomly on our PNW vacation and it’s ruined other coffee places for us. You have been warned.“

“Great place!! Coffee is delicious, staff is very friendly. Nice place to sit and relax. Only thing missing is T-shirts.“

“Amazing all around! Great staff, delicious food, pastries, just great everything!“

“Found this place on a whim with my wife. Quant and quiet with lots of character and flavor. I'm a cold Brew snob and the Hoppy Easter was unique in its flavor combination and was a winner in my book. My wife has some food allergies and the Barista was very accommodating and willing to grab packages for my wife to read. Not from around here, but if we are in the area, we know exactly where to come back to!“

“Excellent staff. Clean kitchen. Their breakfast sandwich made on panini press so fresh, hot and a bit of crunch. Super yummy!“

“Visited for the first time at their new location near stewart and terry. Good Coffee! Liked the fact that they are actually helping the community! Kudos! 👌 Gonna be a regular now.. Cheers! 🙂“

“Pretty cool. We had to wait about 45 min in line to order at the main coffee bar as there was only one register open. Eventually they opened up a second register & the line flowed better. They were also out of a bunch of food items listed & what we were served would’ve been much better had it been heated. Drinks were super good & watching the actual roastery part was awesome.“

“Latte was okay, the goal wasn’t very fine. Chocolate croissant came flat(I’m not sure why) but it tasted great so I forgave it. Latte came with a piece of chocolate which is nice. Atmosphere is modern and clean. There are a couple of booths available“

“Immortal Joe states that he bought our coffee (Breakfast Blend) via Amazon. He did not buy our coffee. We don't have a breakfast blend and we sell only at our shop.“

“I live in Texas and every time I come to Seattle the Gameporium is a must stop!!!! Being avid game players, my family loves this place!!!!“

“Nice spot in the North Satellite at the end by N14 to N18. The breakfast they serve is pretty big and very tasty. The coffee is delicious. There is a decent amount of table space to eat there. The staff was very pleasant in the early morning. Good stop!“

“Ordered Chai tea with extra espresso shots. It was smooth and tasty.

The coffee shop is cozy. Perfect place to work or hang out with a friend.

The barista is sassy and direct. It was a great experience.“

“My husband and I discovered this coffee on a cross country RV trip and were in the Seattle area for a month. We loved it so much that we have continued to order it online and have it shipped to Minnesota... Morning Passion has definitely become a passion of ours .😎🏳️‍🌈“

“Friendly staff. Delicious coffee.“

“My coffee haunt for decades! Barista slash photographer slash Cookin Kitty Nick is a gem and the owner is friendly and kind. The tables by the windows are prime.“

“Best recommend, the staff and the drink.😀“

“I love stopping by here. The espresso is tasty and the baristas are all very friendly.“

“Armistice Roosevelt was good, although the customer service could be a lot better. The coffee shop itself was a little sterile and didn’t have a cozy or homey feel, but the coffee was pretty good and they had a selection of pastries. The place is nice and clean and has a modern look, but the service was just OK and I don’t know if the servers were tired or just grumpy. Overall, we thought the coffee was good and worth the visit.“

“Caffe Vita made special arrangements for my company and did coffee catering for a week long event. Everyone I worked with was super friendly, organized, and efficient. Special shoutout to Nathan for bringing us coffee each morning to serve 150 guests at our event. Caffe Vita alleviated a lot of stress from our events team and the coffee was a hit! Thank you!“

“My favorite coffee shop chain, the staff has great service.
I always buy a hot latte every time I pass by. Today I ordered an extra Quiche - Spinach Feta for $7.50. The clerk was very considerate and informed me of the price before confirming whether I really need it.

There are not many dining places in the store, but the space is large. If you come to downtown or Pike market, I recommend giving it a try.“

“I'm so glad I saw your sign while debating on whether to wait in the long line at starbucks. Your coffee was so much better than what we almost purchased :D“

“Come here if you're craving an absolutely delicious healthy breakfast & their famous pickled red onions. I had the Avacado Toast plate with an extra egg. I was blown away by the mouth-watering flavors. Packed with greens and delicious pickled red onions makes this one of the healthiest and heartiest breakfasts I've ever had.5 star service“
