Blueberry Matcha
Xia Wen G.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute coffee place with lots of seating and yummy coffee and matcha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love their cute cups and portion size. We got an iced latte and a seasonal iced blueberry matcha. They were both delicious!

Anchorhead has become a favorite for me I look forward to their delicious coffee- usually order their nitro or just a cold brew . Their staff is always prompt and ordering is easy. When I'm not in the mood for coffee I live for their blueberry matcha!

Anchorhead is such a solid cafe if you're looking for yummy drinks and a cute place to study!! I thought it was a small cafe at first, but there's a lot more seating downstairs if you're okay with darker lighting. I came here after my friends recommendation to get the Iced Blueberry Matcha. I was so interested because this combination is definitely something different but I was so pleasantly surprised!! Please get this you won't be disappointed! I got the 10oz for $6.50 but honestly should've upgraded to the 16oz because the price difference isn't a lot and it's that good. Honestly the wifi was a bit spotty for me when I went downstairs, and they had three different networks for some reason. Besides that, I had such a lovely experience and it was cool that they sold apparel too! I definitely want to come back and try their original drinks :)

Easily my favorite matcha I've had in Seattle -- I've had a Strawberry Matcha before but a Blueberry one was unexpectedly lovely!

Menu

It was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The barista was super nice, and I really liked the ambiance in there, it seemed like a nice place to study.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But after reading reviews it seemed like the Hey Bae latte was the way to go, and I was not a fan at all:( I've had ube flavored things before, but idk maybe it was the combination with hazelnut, I just did not like it. I appreciated that they had different sugar variations available, as well as simple syrup to add to your coffee on your own. The pastries also looked pretty good, although I didn't try any. I just wish the menu had a little more variance.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little coffee shop located right next to Seattle University in Capitol Hill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They host events downstairs too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here on a Sunday after attending mass on campus for some coffee and there was like a clothes swap or something downstairs so there's both seating upstairs and downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While looking up reviews, I just wanted a nice latte so I got the hey bae (Ube hazelnut latte) with regular milk and iced. It was pretty good. They also have pastries to order there too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I chilled for a bit and drank my drink and it was a nice and aesthetic spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some parking in the streets in that area but also a pretty busy cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This anchor head location has a lot of space to work in -- there's a basement floor with even more seating and it's next to the bakery so you can smell all the pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the nitro cold brew and while it wasn't very nitro, it didn't cost any more than the regular cold brew and it was a nice smooth drink.

Blackberry Caramel Latte and Pistachio Matcha
Stephen B.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service from Valencia and great overall vibe here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Blackberry Caramel Latte in particular stood out as being incredible. Look forward to coming back soon!

12 oz fact check

Their 12 oz drinks are in fact 12 oz. I guess I prefer the cups that are skinnier and taller and trick me into believing I'm getting more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good WiFi and lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Geared towards students for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Orange Hazelnut Pinwheel Pastry Blueberry Matcha Latte Honey Bunches of Oats Cold Brew

Absolutely loved the orange hazelnut pinwheel pastry. SO GOOD. Also had a great blueberry matcha latte! Was my first time trying this place & definitely won't be my last!

a cup of coffee and a muffin
Kayla D.

Came in here after a hectic day of work and boy am I sure glad I did! Met a wonderful barista by the name of Izzy and it happened to be her birthday!! She was sweet, kind, and helpful with her knowledge of products which swayed into choosing the perfect coffee!!!! Ended up buying a muffin and my ONLY regret was I didn't buy two!!! These are delicious! And everything made in house!

Honey bunches of cold brew
Tara H.

I've been here a few times and was always helped very fast. If you're not into coffee, their chai lattes are good. I really enjoy their iced coffee drink called: honey bunches of oat milk. It is a cold brew with oat milk, honey, cinnamon, and maple. I highly recommend this place. It's also a cute coffee shop to work at or just to enjoy a drink.

Drip
Ben H.

Anchorhead came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. Beans are roasted on the bottom layer of the double decker coffee shop. Ordered a drip. Free refills for the win. The coffee was flavourful, fruity and bold. I added a drop of the oat/half n half to change the consistency. We ordered a couple of pastries via 2good2go. Winning.

Good coffee, nothing amazing. It's a little pricey but it's a good coffee spot for SU students as an alternative to just going to Starbucks.

A friend convinced us to try this coffee shop with tales of the best latte she'd ever had. This…read morelocation is at Pike Place Market, and takes a little effort to get to as it is up a couple flights of stairs, but has wonderful views overlooking the market. The coffee was delicious especially with the house-made nondairy milk, but what really stood out was the frosted cinnamon roll, which was almost like candy. I am not sure if this happens during the busiest moments in the shop, but they did have staff bussing the tables, and one staff member actually brought us our order (I'd been listening for my name to be called and didn't hear it). It was a really nice touch with some really pleasant waitstaff.

Storyville Coffee Company has impressive vibes, but that's about it…read more Found up multiple flights of stairs, tucked in a cool corner of Pike Place Market, Storyville Coffee Company has one of the most boujee menus and spaces I have ever seen for a coffee shop. They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

It was creamy, lightly sweet, and topped with the most satisfying crunchy goodness that added the perfect texture. Then came the Phê Mê--coffee with condensed milk and black sesame cream.

We ordered the matcha banana pudding and hojicha ginger tofu pudding lattes. Service took ~10 mins. The matcha banana pudding was yummy. The matcha was of good quality and the banana pudding top was a smooth, cream top that tasted just like banana pudding, with a fun crunch in the topping. The hojicha ginger tofu was a bit more adventurous in flavor. The ginger and tofu messed with my brain and made it feel like I was drinking a savory asian sauce/soup, but the drink was still sweet. I kept sipping, but the strange savory/sweet limbo never really balanced correctly to truly enjoy the drink. On the plus side, the silken tofu was fun to sip through the straw and added some protein. There is seating indoors, but the tables can fill up quickly. Some people were wfh, but most were chatting. There is 1 hr complimentary WiFi. Typical Seattle street parking. Overall, the latte flavors were fun to try and it was an aesthetic cafe. But, the prices for the lattes make them more of a novel, hyped up purchase.

They don't even fill it up to the rim of the cup. If I'm paying $10 I expect to get a good amount of coffee. I even ask the barista if she can fill up my cup further and she said sorry that that's the measurement. That's ridiculous. I'll go to Starbucks - at least I get my money's worth to some degree. Also, most of their specialty coffee drinks have dairy in it. So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options. They are pre-made mixes They have food but nothing vegan so if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, you're out of luck. The pastries look gross. I took one look at it and it definitely was not appealing to look at. It looked dry and it looked like the pastries have been sitting in the display case for weeks

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.

What's amazing is theres no acidic taste ruining your beverage , just a smooth euphoric rush of caffeine coursing through your body. I normally get an iced latte to get my geyser gushing but a straight shot does happen occaisionly. Outside of the superior taste the caffeine kick back is like a NASA ROCKET BOOSTER piloting Artemis II... Now the hired hands are fined tuned & trained baristas extracting the brown juices from local roasted beans. BTW VIVACE roasts its own coffee, specializing in a Northern Italian style developed by founder David Schomer since 1992... This is why you'll love its taste... VIVACE's interior space is very large for small & medium size gatherings with a hipster eclectic taste of furnishings. Also beware free WiFi if you're a lounge lizard is available... During good weather days outside seating is available for the rare days the gods allow Seattle sun to shine down upon us. Table & chairs on sidewalk allows you front row seating to the freak show for entertainment. Not much more to say, so grab a shot of caffeine!

The drink came together very well, the oat milk was creamy and the espresso was very rich. All in all, I think this is a cool place to work and catch up with friends. I might read or journal here, but depending on the day and the lighting it can get a little dim for that. I'd come back again.
