Namitta ShankarJune 28, 2013Probably the only coffee place I've seen that has taxes included in the price! Fantastic coffee, pretty cool that ur 4-legged buddy can chill with u inside while u enjoy ur expertly crafted coffee!
Joseph LeMay 29, 2016Try the slow bar if you got some time! The barista talks through the coffee as they're brewing it fresh for you. Awesome experience and you can share the coffee!
Sergei S.September 9, 2014Chemex, V60, siphon, French press, good selection of single origin beans, free WiFi, friendly and knowledgeable baristas, comfortable environment. Everything a good coffee shop needs.
My @pandafoodie recommends ordering your latte "for here" then drink it slow. Enjoy the coffee. Very nice and smooth.
Kyle IsenhowerJanuary 14, 2014They roast their own coffee and it is really good. This is craft coffee. Order something from the slow bar and you will get to sit and interact with them while they brew your coffee. Great experience.
Ryan WaggonerSeptember 7, 2016If you have time, order something from the Slow Bar. It's well worth it. Awesome selection of rare coffees from around the world.
- Try the single origin espresso; of different origin every week. Great way to train your palate to enjoy all the subtle flavors at beginning, middle & end of a sip! Neat connection to place.
Amazing coffee program. Carve out some time to spend at the slow bar. Extremely knowledgeable staff proficient in all brew methods. Offering Direct trade single origin coffees roasted in house.
Sabina PittsAugust 25, 2015The only place I get a Americano. The owner is slightly nutty in a good way. If you are lucky you can sit and over hear him wax on about his coffee philosophy to a potential s.c.w barista.
Charlie LeachJanuary 16, 2015This is one of Seattle's finest independent roasting coffee houses! Everything is good, and I've never had a bad experience here! Check it out if you're by the market!
Megan SkyeMarch 28, 2015If you're from Portland the pour over seems expensive, but it's lovely and worth it. Best coffee close to the convention center by far.- Pam ☕️ OFebruary 14, 2015Have your coffee any way: AeroPress, v60 pour-over, chemex, siphon, French press, and espresso. Awesome customer service.
Kaitlin MartineauApril 17, 2016The cherry almond scone wasn't firm enough for my desire of what a scone texture should be. The latte was a step below spectacular, but definitely worth it
Our favourite Seattle coffee place. New location is super airy and light but lacks comfy seating. Coffee still awesome though!
Travel ChannelFebruary 3, 2012Andrew Zimmern tried coffee made by a $20,000 coffee maker, which can make the same coffee with different flavors. As seen on Bizarre Foods America.
Greg RatajikMarch 25, 2012The slow bar is a lot of fun - you can pick what you want to learn about, and they'll explain it and do a demo or two. BIG TIME coffee geeks work here!
GourmetLiveJune 8, 2012Food blogger Denise of Wasabi Prime recommends Seattle Coffee Works. "You can get cups of single-origin beans and blends, or you can sample coffees in their dedicated ‘Slow Bar’/tasting room."
Philip SaulJanuary 16, 2017Great espresso, the slow bar is a cool way to try their coffees with different brewing methods.
Kyle R.August 13, 2014A brilliant coffee shop with a siphon bar. Reminds you that there is more to a proper latte than Starbucks will ever attempt.
Edna WyenaAugust 31, 2014Best coffee ever. So silky and smooth. Caffeine Heaven. Love the Carmel Latte!
Jon B.September 2, 2017Bathrooms were solid, and the wifi worked well. A great place to blog or do work in the touristy Pike's Place area.
Excellent cappuccino and great little front patio for watching the world walk by. Take your time.
Giovanni Bryden RosasMay 29, 2018Good selection of single origin beans. Barista was very knowledgeable and brewed a hell of a cup.
Melissa GoodnightJanuary 24, 2015Had a house brewed coffee, bold (medium-dark roast). Very good! Definitely recommended.
Mark WongNovember 8, 2014Not as quick as Starbucks but definitely worth the wait. They are all about the beans!
Jack ReevesFebruary 10, 2017Nice cozy shop with outlets along the wall but seating area will be cramped if it's busy.
Try the Chemex brew-method at the slow bar. The taste is so smooth!
- Best drip coffee coffee in Seattle. Get coffee from the slow bar if you have the time. It worth it!!
by far the best coffee in town. try the original 8oz cappuccino!!
Their Ethiopian roasts are delightful. Great for pour overs
Julia ChuJuly 21, 2013Absolutely delicious coffee. Try the emerald city blend for extra bold drip coffee!
Emma RichardsonOctober 15, 2016The hot apple cider is great for people not crazy about coffee that still want to get warm!
Trisha BudhaiAugust 11, 2016Hot and cold mocha, the chilled out atmosphere and smell of fresh coffee
Scott CampbellSeptember 28, 2013The slow bar is a great way to unwind and get a coffeeducation while enjoying something delicious.
Christie St. MartinSeptember 6, 2013So delicious. This coffee is blowing my mind. Also this walnut squash bread. <3.
Anand SridharanMay 11, 2014Find the book "Richard Harding Davis & His Day" and open to page 43. Hi Cooper! (PS found his note 5/10/14, exactly one year after it was written...creepy)
Chris GunrackSeptember 29, 2014Order a vacuum pot, sit at the slow bar, and prepare to have your mind expanded.
- cristin collierMarch 17, 2014slow bar is awesome and the best Americano ever! thanks for not being starbucks!
Try the latte--I've never had a better one than I had here.
This place has great spirit, attitude, and just encompasses Seattle. Oh yeah, some of the best coffee around too!
