I became obsessed with this coffee! It's the best pumpkin latte I've ever had! The humas/vegan wraps are super good, and the service was 100! Thanks for making my trip to Seattle great! I'll be back, and I'll make sure to stop by and say hi - (redhair)

Poindexter really is such a charming spot that combines excellent coffee, tasty pastries, and a warm atmosphere. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring each cup is crafted with not only care but also love! The cozy decor and welcoming vibe makes for a perfect spot to work remotely or relax with friends. A must-visit for coffee lovers that find themselves in the University District.

Kind and wonderful baristas, the milk texture is just as wonderful as the coffee—strong with a wonderful mouthfeel while sipping; a truly splendid brew. I got a classic Mocha that was so smooth and buttery to sip, and a warmed up Dill Scone. AN UNDERRATED scone, don’t sleep on that scone, OR this coffee shop people.Small but not too small, seating is diverse and friendly and the energy is calm and quiet and yet very approachable/healing.11/10 coffee experience :) Remember, tip ? your ? barista ? people!

Wheelchair accessibility: Right into the sidewalk with NO walk up, can roll right in and they have some low tables, would be really enjoyable in a wheelchair :) big low windows to look out on to the street and historic theater marquee.

Very polite staff and gorgeous seating in lobby. They serve great local spicy chai.

Clean, well-lit, good music volume level. Wheelchair accessible, including the space required for motorized models. I got the mountainback bacon egg and cheese and a 12oz cold brew. The bacon and egg is sliced so thick, honestly the best one I’ve ever had. The bun was great too. Total after tax and tip was $15.87 (22% tip). I saw them getting a graffitied window replaced yesterday when I was passing by, so it seems like they really care about keeping up with maintaining this place.Everyone working here was really friendly and made sure to confirm what I’d ordered before making it. Just a really nice place.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps entering the restaurant, lots of room inside. Table seating in the corner alongside their typical café bar style seating.

There's lots of seating, you can spread out as needed. We got cappuccinos which were nice and foamy and the espresso tasted delicious!

Ordered a large latte and only got a small one for €4.74 despite a complaint. Outrageous!

Poindexter is a coffee shop attached to the Graduate Hotel, and while convenient, it lacks warmth and exuberates pretentiousness. The space is ample, with plenty of seating. The decor includes plaid-like walls lined with rustic paintings. One can purchase beer, wine, coffee, and other small bites from this location.My experience was an unfortunate one. The barista did not greet me; instead, I had to initiate. To make matters worse, I was rudely corrected for ordering a red-eye. The barista told me it was a "shot in the dark," punctuated by a tone of consternation that was deeply unsettling at nearly 8:30 am on a Sunday. For reference, "a shot in the dark" is another colloquial name for the drink. My co-worker requested a vanilla latte with foam. Both orders came out to a little $12. My red-eye had a heavenly taste; the espresso perfectly accompanied the drip. Shockingly, however, the vanilla latte was abnormally syrupy. Given the service and the price, I would not return. Down the street from Poindexter, one can receive better service, more affordable coffee($10 at Kitanda), and less pretentious baristas from Kitanda, or other U-District offerings.

I came here to take shelter from the rain. The store is on the corner. The little room is cute and the coffee is average.

Weak lattee and it shouldn’t take 15 minutes to be given my bagel. Go across the street to Leon.

The typical coffees, snacks. Lots of space stretching back that makes it feel open. Not cramped like many coffee shops in U- Disrict. Reasonable prices.
