Empire Roasters & Records Reviews
Great local place. 💜💜 Incredible coffee and waffles. :-)
Cool little place! Was super busy, but there's more space than you realize upstairs, with a nice little lounge area. The coffee was great, as were the waffles. Fun concept. Definitely recommend.
Had a great seasonal latte and experience while visiting friends in Seattle. Highly recommend.
