1. Dilettante Mocha Cafe
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 903-8595
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Dilettante used to make my fav lattes in Seattle. But a staff change and disappointing drinks at the Rainier location led me to stop going there entirely (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). With so many coffee places to choose from I didn't really miss…More »
2. Java Jahn
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 789-9441
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts,

Neighbourhood: Ballard
Alright, adding that 5th Star. The latte I had yesterday was fabulously delicious, the barista remembers my drink even though I only come to Java Jahn every couple months, and the service is always splendidly friendly. Do it to it.

3. Monorail Espresso
When my old standby coffee shop began sucking more than just a little (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) Monorail became my new go to. The baristas are super nice and the lattes are super good. I even like the regular (not iced) ones! Star Upgrade in…More »

4. All City Coffee - CLOSED
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 652-8331
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
If I was the sort of person who lounged around in coffee shops instead of getting my drink to go, I would hang out here. It's comfy, there's an upstairs, it's never crowded, there's artwork, and they make one of my favorite lattes (hot OR iced!) in…More »
5. Peet's Coffee & Tea
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 267-4688
Category:
Coffee & Tea

Today I bought a bag of coffee beans at Peet's and as a result got about $1 off the price of my latte. Sweet discounts upon me! Also, my house smells like fresh coffee, mmm mmm good.

6. Uptown Espresso
I was on a quest today: a latte for me and treats for the office. The first two places I tried (Inner Chapters and Mokas) were closed at 9:30am, presumably due to the recent snow. I was begrudgingly headed to Starbucks when I realized Uptown…More »
7. Peet's Coffee & Tea
I love Peet's and may find myself coming to this slightly inconvenient location now that the Queen Anne store is closed. At first I thought this seemed like an awful location, destined for failure. But the new shopping strip on 15th is being built up…More »

I love Peet's and I loved that this shop was near my house. I loved getting a latte here while using the laundromat or before running errands. The staff were friendly and there was plenty of seating. I was always surprised that this corner…More »

In search of Brunch Attempt #2 for my boyfriend and some caffeine for moi, we ended up at Java Bean this afternoon. Our friend lives nearby and has been raving about the "Eggels" so the BF wanted to try this place out. Service was friendly and I was…More »

My manager brought us to Le Panier for a holiday treat this morning. We could smell the goodness before we even got in the door! We went around 9am and it was busy, but we didn't have to wait in line. We did have to practically fight for a table…More »

(206) 789-5900
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Ballard
I'd never noticed Short Stop Coffee on Leary but my boyfriend said he'd been wanting to try the place for a long time. We walked in at 2:50 and no one gave us the stink eye even though they close at 3:00. I ordered my usual nonfat caramel latte,…More »
12. Inner Chapters Bookstore and Cafe
Now that I work in SLU I've been stopping by Inner Chapters every Friday. I haven't encountered any more obnoxious customers and the barista has been very nice every time. Tried an iced latte today and it was tasty. 4 Stars it is.

I feel rather foolish having lived by El Diablo for almost two years before my friend introduced me to this cute Cuban coffee shop last spring. This place has got some Latin flavor alright! Check out all the pics, the bright murals and decorations…More »

This particular Cherry Street took me awhile to find. For some reason it didn't occur to me that it might be up the hill on Cherry St and not on 1st Ave. Duh! Anyways, the first time I managed to find the darn place I thought it was closed cause the…More »

I regret that I let so many years pass before discovering the joy that is Cherry Street Coffee House. The food is great, the coffee is fantastic, the atmosphere is soothing, and the staff are friendly...ish.

Lattes at the library! Yay I'm a fan!
Had no expectations for the library's in-house coffee shop and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my latte. Service was quick on all occasions. A couple of the baristas are nice hipster boys, another…More »
18. Caffe Ladro
Wish I'd gotten the Ladro barista's name on Sunday, she was so sweet! She was by herself and the line was long and normally this is a recipe for Grumpy Barista. But she was cheerful and chatted with us, all the while making our drinks in an efficient…More »

This review basically covers all Ladros since I've been to most of them. My FAVORITE thing is the iced blended lattes. SOOOO GOOOOD!! Except twice when they added cinnamon or something I didn't ask for. Yucky. But I did have a pretty bad regular…More »

Not gonna write about Nordy's, leaving that to everyone else. This, my friends, is about Nord's espresso bar. Not your typical coffee/tea/pastries/lunch destination, I know, but you should give it a shot! A Nords IceStorm is Far and Vastly…More »
21. Victrola Coffee & Art
The place was packed on a Tuesday afternoon! Doesn't anyone have a job? Oh wait... Anyways, the artist showing at Victrola right now has some cool stuff, you should check it out. Also, my drink took a fraction of the time to prepare compared to…More »

22. Online Coffee Company - CLOSED
Upping Online Coffee to 4 Stars. The lattes are really good. And the chocolate croissant I had was decent. Oh, I think they also have public computers you can use (for a fee) if you don't have a laptop. That's cool.

I must disagree with the previous reviewer about this being a sub-par Starbucks. I've only been here twice but on both occasions the service was so amazingly friendly and helpful I couldn't help but write a review. Last Friday the barista explained…More »
24. Starbucks
OK, I hate to draw any more attention to Buck o' Stars, and whenever I get a latte from a different coffee shop I'm always like "Man, Starbucks sucks!" BUT I go to this location at least once a week (convenience factor) and I feel compelled to…More »
25. Buzz Stop Espresso
Was in Spokane back in Sept for a wedding and made a stop here while in Macy's. Not expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised when I got The Best Iced Latte Ever In My Life. Really. Amazing. Inexpensive to boot. Went out of my way the next day…More »

You know that Monty Python skit about the cheese shop? That's how The Bagel Deli was at 2:45 on a Sunday afternoon. You were pretty much SOL unless you wanted a blueberry bagel. Well I got lucky and got my sandwich on literally the last plain bagel…More »

Though it breaks my heart, Dilettante is losing Two Stars and being removed from my Best of Seattle List. Both of my usual baristas left back in the fall and the quality of the drinks went with them. The first time I walked up and saw unfamiliar…More »

29. Caffe D'arte
Caffe D'arte is a cozy little coffee shop that serves up a decent latte. Looks like they have lots of "authentic" espresso options. I also enjoyed a yummy snickerdoodle. Don't get too comfortable though cause they close at 6pm and don't let you…More »
30. People's Republic of Koffee
I stopped by People's Republic of Koffee after I got my most recent tattoo at Lucky Devil. It's next door (in fact has the same address) so it seemed an obvious choice. When I approached, no one was at the counter, but the baritsta hopped up from…More »
31. Starbucks
Oh Starbucks you are so sneaky. You close a shop and the neighborhood panics and even has a "Save Starbucks" table out front. Then a new shop, 15th Avenue Coffee & Tea, opens. It looks like an independent coffee shop, with a community crossword…More »

I recently stopped into this centrally located Starbucks for the first or second time since I've lived in Seattle. The layout is kinda awkward and the door is not where you'd think it should be. The staff were pretty darn friendly, though a table sat…More »

Neighbourhood: Queen Anne
Rating: Solid 3.5 Stars
Motive: I tend to go to Uptown Espresso when I'm in lower Queen Anne and want to sit and read a book but don't feel I deserve a frozen fancy drink from Caffe Ladro. Not my favorite lattes in the city, but they aren't kidding…More »
34. Uptown Espresso - CLOSED
Another 3.5 Stars for Uptown Espresso. As I mentioned in my other review, these aren't my favorite lattes, but they'll do. And their convenient locations make life easy. I can't attest to the "lounge factor" because I've only been here during early…More »

"Adagio" is a term for "slow music" in Italian and what a fitting name for this coffee shop. We walked in and it was silent to the point of being uncomfortable. Two other patrons sat near the front door. The shop is small and cozy, lots of wood, and…More »
