50 Best Coffee Shops in Seattle

“The raspberry pistachio eclair was the best we have ever had. A light touch of sweet with a delicious and creamy center. Absolutely exceptional! and the Americano was beautifully balanced and rich. This quaint shop is my new go to when in West Seattle!“

“Such a lovely and convenient location. Helpful, friendly service. A simple yet elegant atmosphere ♥️☕️“

“The black sesame foam for the Gloomy Matcha has me in a chokehold…. I tried recreating it at home, but it comes nowhere near as close to what you can get here. I came right at opening time before my flight took off because I just had to get another Gloomy Matcha 😂 it’s THAT good. Wish we had an Aroom on the east coast 😭

Right down the street is a bakery, which is so nice! Come to Aroom for your morning coffee/matcha, then head to Sea Wolf for some bread.“

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

“Thanks for sharing me guys! Love your coffee place! It’s a hot spot in #Calgary to run into cool people.“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“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.“

“The barista’s are always welcoming and warm. Their lattes are dreamy! The pastries are fantastic!“

“Wonderful iced mocha with Costa Rican chocolate and absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich. Charming/ quant coffee shop with unique drinks and pastries. Five stars ⭐️“

“Great friendly service. Warm smiles. Wonderful vibe. Everything I’ve tried there is yummy.“

“We absolutely LOVE the Seattle Meowtropolitan!! My 8 year old and I have been visiting regularly for more than a year now and we‘ve bonded with all the amazing kitties! Everyone who works and volunteers here is so kind as well. The kitty-themed drinks and kitty macaroons are all delicious too! And the cat-inspired decorations—even in the restrooms—are wonderful! It’s a kitty paradise for all the cats and humans who visit. :) We highly recommend everyone who loves cats visits this magical place!“

“Love Pilgrim! Delicious coffee!“

“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?“

“Excellent service and great coffee!“

“The upstairs area is nice and cozy, great for reading or work. My experience here was decent, no complaints but nothing to write home about either. We got there over an hour before closing and they had no pastries left, not sure if that’s the norm or we were just late. It’s also on a quieter strip in west seattle so not very walkable if that’s something you’re looking for.“

“Forget that other company's stake on the claim. Realfine is the best part of waking up.“

“I was surprised by the long line this Sunday morning, but even so, the wait was short and we ordered the special of the day — macadamia coconut cold brew with cold foam — and a single espresso. Service was super quick, my coffee was delicious, and I honestly wished they had a larger cup size haha. That said, I do have to admit the espresso was a bit burnt (and both drinks were on the pricey side).
Still, with the outdoor seating available, we really enjoyed our coffees in a pleasant atmosphere. We’d definitely come back!“

“The coffee is curated beautifully and not over-roasted. Deep yet subtle taste notes across their regional offerings of whole beans and brews.“

“If you love and crave amazing coffee, this is your crack dealer!!! It’s sooooo good. These people are the best of Seattle! Friendly, cool, great product and service. Went back repeatedly! Located at the bottom of the driveway at Pike Place Market! They have water for your dog too! See? Full service!“

“Lovely interior, friendly staff.
The recommended drink here is the yogurt coffee. The previous review saying the yogurt coffee is too tart must have had their taste buds obliterated by starbies or something. It was very normal. Me when the drink called yogurt coffee tastes like yogurt and coffee 🤯“

“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!!“

“When you imagine the coziest, sweetest home-town style coffeehouse, picture Copper Tree. It's both local, incredible service, and amazing coffee. The menu is diverse and interesting with a drink for everyone. The local food options were great for a breakfast grab and go. I was very fortunate to time my visit before a wave of customers, a line out the door is not uncommon. Fear not, the line goes quickly. My latte was served at the perfect temperature and was complex and delicious. Their house-made pumpkin sauce is spiced to perfection. I can't wait to try their whole fall specials menu. Thanks for the amazing service and coffee. I can't wait to come back!“

“There’s something magical about the coffee jelly here - it’s drinkable and dissolves in your mouth but not while it’s in the drink. Furthermore, it’s plant-based. At first, when I got my drink, I was a little worried that the jelly would not work with the straw, but there were no issues at all.

I got the jelly coffee and milk, which was their signature drink. The first half of the drink was really amazing - strong coffee flavor, great jelly texture, and high-quality half-and-half. You really need to mix the drink before drinking for the best results. However, towards the end of the drink there were some acidic notes, which I think is from the coffee itself. I did read about their coffee supplier, and while I’m glad they use a local roaster, I’m not a huge fan of the beans (having tried it before myself).

Everything in this shop is well-crafted and intentional, and the staff is really nice. The tables here are pretty tiny and this isn’t really a spot to hang out long or to study/work. However, I definitely think their coffee jelly is worth trying and will be back to try the tea flavors next time.“

“Walked in and got the strawberry matcha and the honey bunches of cold brew! Both were delicious and the burnt honey flavor in the cold brew is amazing! The prices are decent for the sizes and customers also get free waters and use of the bathroom as well! There’s plenty of seating, the service is incredibly fast, and the workers are super kind and welcoming. Not to mention it was super clean with an awesome aesthetic as well! Zero complaints! If I lived here I’d be a regular“

“This beautiful coffee shop was on my list of must-visit places, and it did not disappoint! They had all kinds of syrups, flavors, and coffee options. The owner was such a sweetheart and treated us wonderfully. Plus, they have a black and white photo booth, which was such a fun bonus. The shop also has a small Hispanic section, which brought back memories of going to ‘la tienda’ in my hometown. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is by far the best coffee I have had in Seattle! Their drinks are so good and unique, it’s always hard to decide what to get but I love the cinnamon phin. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, this place should be on a Michelin guide!“

“Amazing place! Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Pastries from Cafe Besalu!“

“This is a hidden gem to South Seattle (West Hill) Community. Street parking is available. Fresh brewed coffee imported coffee from Ethiopia! Never too crowded and IF you’re ever looking for a meeting space, I think the business are able to facilitate.“

“$40 for two meals and two coffees.
Got a lox waffle and a Cuban sandwich. Cold brew with cream and hot dirty chi tea.

It's small but not cramped very cute and cozy. We didn't think there was much place to sit so had plan to go but they made room for us at a table with was so kind of them.

Food was so good! Never had a lox waffle before. Loved the sauce. Coffee was delicious and strong in the best ways!

Definitely saving to come back and try some sweets!“

“Great place for a cup of caf and to hide from Inquisitors, although I suspect bounty hunters may still find you there. May the Force be with you“

“This cafe has the absolute best atmosphere, from the gorgeous architecture, the furnishings and decor, and the two amazing guys running it (shout out Charles and Tom!) it feels like you’re stepping back in time, and offers a relaxing ambiance that makes you regret stepping back out on the street. Their coffee is my absolute favorite, and thus far every baked good I’ve gotten has been extremely tasty. You can really tell how much love was put into this place and still is. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop in and if you’re not - it’s worth the drive. 10/10 and would give higher if possible.“

“This was my mom's and I’s last cafe hop in Seattle before leaving, and it was worth it! We arrived right when it opened due to our flight. I unfortunately did not get anything; however, my mom ordered a hot decaf Americano and it was love at first sight. She said it was VERY good, and she was sad we didn’t come sooner because its very close to the place we stayed at. It was so good that we decided to buy four coffee bags! (we turned around the second we left😅👀). I recommend it–its very close to the transit station.

Overall, the experience was cosy and vibey–please try it out if you are in the area‼️“

“They baked goods are AMAZING! Great coffee. Very friendly service.“

“On occasion, such as running an errand, I'll stop for breakfast at Little Jaye, and today I had the ham, cheese, & egg breakfast sandwich on brioche bun. It was prepared to excellence and I really enjoyed it. I usually sit outside on the patio to dine, very plesant.“

“I stopped by yesterday and was really impressed! The staff were so welcoming and kind, and they made my coffee perfectly — smooth, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere feels cozy and relaxed, the kind of spot where you can unwind and actually enjoy your drink.

You can tell they care about quality and about their customers. Definitely one of those places that brightens your day a little — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Nice new coffee spot in the Mt Baker neighborhood. Friendly with tasty treats. Looking forward to trying out the ice cream and unicorn cones later“

“Fun vibe... great lattes featuring foam art.... I appreciate that! baked goods are delicious too.“

“talk about cozy! This place is built to settle in with a laptop or a nice book and lots of cozy seating options settled in. Definitely popular with students during the year but overall a place where you can get your caffeine fix and move along. Easy to drink coffee in a very welcoming atmosphere makes this place a fave.“

“Just visited Seattle and loved the coffee/muffins at #theseattlegrind. Great coffee and the employee was very friendly. Will definitely visit this place again. Thank you!!!!“

“Best iced coffee white chocolate mocha w/ whip and the yogurt parfait💕💕“

“Best bakery in Seattle.
Love all the pastries, best and delicious coffee. Only thing is my favorite chocolate chip cookies are toooo much salt on top, I can't taste cookie part....but, I buy it anyway. I'm hoping it'll be no salt or just only a few grains of salt on it🤞.
This is my favorite bakery in Seattle since they opened some years ago.
Love Fresh Flour!!! Baristas makes the best coffee every time. Thank you 😊.“

“Delicious food, perfect tea, and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I love the Edmonds location because I can walk there from my home! Cannot recommend highly enough! Five out five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Best coffee I have had in Seattle hands down.“

“Wonderful service and Delicious breakfast sandwiches! Really enjoyed the Maple Leaf Latte. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent Starbucks destination! I love taking our friends and family here when they visit as part of the signature Seattle experience. Unlike regular locations, they have their own bakery, gorgeous iron ovens, and they serve alcoholic drinks. They will make your drink with an AeroPress, chemex, pour-over, Clover, or a few other options. Their whiskey barrel-aged cold brew is amazing. My gluten-eating friends and family tell me that the bakery items are incredible. Being fresh baked and with high quality ingredients. This is a great place to visit, and a place I go to again and again.“

“Exceptional third wave coffee place - the owner is extremely knowledgeable, they really know their cortados/flat whites, they have lots of coffee for sale from some of the well known light/nordic roasters, and on top of all that they do an amazing decaf. Probably the best coffee shop I've been to in Seattle.“

“Diana and her team have created such a fun and inviting spot for finding just the right gift, getting or shipping mail, or just grabbing a cup of coffee. I love Sip and Ship!“

“Really liked the coffee. The cookie was also pretty good. The employees were super nice and just had an overall friendly environment. Upstairs is a good place to study and the downstairs is too but it’s a bit dark and not a lot of lighting.“
