The baristas here are the nicest, most thoughtful people and they make a mighty fine espresso. I usually prefer drip but I’m always happy to wait an extra minute and chat while they make an americano instead.

Monorail Espresso - A Beacon of Warmth in Downtown Seattle
If you're in Seattle and looking for more than just a caffeine fix, Monorail Espresso is the place to go. With multiple locations nestled in the heart of downtown, this gem has become my favorite spot, especially during the challenging times we've all faced in recent years.
Monorail Espresso has been a constant source of comfort and energy. Throughout the long, quiet months when downtown was nearly deserted, their stands stood open, and their baristas continued to serve with a smile. They provided more than just coffee; they offered a sense of normalcy and connection that was deeply needed.
Their friendly faces and warm interactions make every visit special. Whether you're a regular or a newcomer, you're greeted with genuine kindness that makes you feel welcome and appreciated. It's this unique blend of excellent coffee and heartfelt service that sets Monorail Espresso apart.
As we all step back into the hustle and bustle of daily life, Monorail Espresso stands as a beacon of hope and community. I'm incredibly thankful for their presence and the joy they bring to each day. If you haven't experienced it yet, do yourself a favor and drop by. You'll find more than just a cup of coffee; you'll find good, strong coffee and good, kind people that make you feel at ease.

I visited in mid May and the seasonal specialty Honeysuckle latte was possibly the best latte I've ever had in my life. They were SO fast making the drinks that the long line moved quickly and the prices were more affordable than almost any other coffee shop I've been to in recent years (mine was 4 and something dollars for the medium size). I will be back!!!

I recommend you to get there using the door from the 5th avenue. If you just enter the door from the 4th avenue and then try to find it, there isn’t… ?but the coffee was nice! Please visit and drink it!

My favorite Coffeeshop in Seattle, actually all of the Monorail locations. I have tried three of them and this is the first one that was inside a building and offered seating area inside. I had some trouble finding it at first, it is not on the ground floor where the food hall is. It is actually in the Main Lobby on the fourth floor, however it is on the ground floor if you are walking from the "other" street. Well I found it and it had amazing coffee as always.

This is by far my favorite coffee stop in the area. Keep in mind there is a shop in city hall, a Starbucks in the same building as Monorail and another SB across the street. The baristas that work here are personable. Actually talk to you, rather than just take an order and ignore. My go to is always a Cortado which is near perfect every-time. I have never heard a complaint from anyone I go with who gets other beverages.If you work in the Columbia tower, no reason to go anywhere else. Yes, there is sometimes a long line, but it’s magical how fast they get through it.Not sure about other locations, but I can’t imagine they beat this spot.
