    Latte and cardamom bun
    V S.

    Calm, spacious cafe with delicious pastries and decent coffee. A friend and I stopped in for some leisurely breakfast and laptop focus time on a sunny Sunday morning. There aren't many tables, so I could see it filling up quickly during peak hours, but it wasn't too full at the time. Wifi was easy to connect to, and the music was noticeable but not too loud. The barista was patient and friendly as I debated between two of the locally made pastries. They had a great selection, and it was difficult to choose! I opted for a latte and their last cardamom bun, warmed, and my friend opted for a cappuccino and an oat cookie (a nutty, chewy disk). My coffee was made to the perfect temperature -- hot, but fine to sip from. I also loved seeing the self-serve water station, local wines and locally roasted coffee beans for sale, and fully stocked self-serve utensil kiosk. Give this cafe a visit if you're in the area. It's worth getting a pastry or two....or three!

    Great open space concept, had a strawberry matcha it was delicious very sweet. The person who took my order was nice and suggested it because it was sunny outside.

    8 oz oat milk latte
    Keri N.

    Came here on a weekday morning around 8am. Such a relaxing environment and several customers working on their laptops. I got an 8oz oat milk latte and it was excellent. The alternative milk options were either oat or hemp milk. Baristas were friendly and service was speedy. Will definitely be back! They also had some grab and go food items like breakfast burritos and pastries.

    Huge fan of this establishment. I wish the pastries lasted a bit longer in the day or they refreshed them in the afternoon. Their salted chocolate chip cookie is amazing. Warm it up and you will be happy. Share it with a friend as it is huge. Ample seating and some small outdoor tables/chairs too. Love it. They also host community cleanup events on long weekends. I wish their hours were later on weekends though. Maybe until 5 PM. The morning 7 AM opening is awesome.

    Broadcast Coffee is a nice low lighting (natural lighting is preferred here maybe) cafe near First Hill area and its my favorite now. I'm love the low-light concept and I enjoyed their Winter seasonal Flapjack Latte which tasted so good, just like it was mentioned- comforting feeling in a cup. They have alcoholic drinks, Tea and lots of food options too.

    Broadcast coffee roast is very much an indie coffee shop. There's great music and baristas that really have that Indie look, but also are still very friendly. Coffee wise, they have a lot of options, that are very tasty. We had a drip coffee, two mochas, and the Borgia.

    The staff were really kind and helpful. The menu is a bit more limited though, especially if you're not a coffee or espresso drinker. I tried the Disco Pony and it was definitely interesting! If you like strong coffee flavors, this is for you. Not my cup of tea though if you'll excuse the pun. The ambiance was mostly fine although it can be hard to find a spot! Very popular for working. The music is a little louder and plugs are more concentrated in some areas so try to get there earlier to find your spot if needed.

    Cozy Spot with Great Pastries (and Gluten-Free Options!) During our trip to Seattle, my friends and I stopped by Broadcast Coffee Roasters since it was just a few blocks from our Airbnb--a perfect morning walk. When we arrived, it wasn't very busy, which was nice considering there were six of us. I was thrilled to see they had gluten-free options and ordered the jam biscuit, which was absolutely delicious. I wish I had bought more to take with me! While the coffee was decent, it wasn't anything to rave about. However, the pastries were a hit with my friends--they all tried different ones and loved them. I do wish they offered more savory gluten-free pastry options, as that's something bigger coffee shops often overlook. Overall, it's a lovely spot to grab a treat and relax, especially if you're looking for gluten-free goodies in Seattle.

    Cappuccino and Rye/Ham Croissant
    Jack L.

    Broadcast coffee was a couple blocks away from my Air BnB for a weekend up in Seattle, so I decided to give it a try on a slower morning before heading into the city! Beginning with the ambiance, it's a great little spot near a very green park leading to a cozy atmosphere within and outside of the shop itself that is very welcoming to anyone coming in. The staff, as seen in past reviews, was excellent: they were extremely friendly, and going above and beyond with their recommendations and warm welcome to me as someone who is not native to Seattle. In regards to the coffee, it was alright! I will take into consideration that I have a fantastic coffee scene in Los Angeles and am extremely spoiled, but I did find their cappuccino overtly milky which did not allow me to really get a good taste of their espresso. With all that's considered, this is a nice coffee shop to go for studying, casually walking in, etc for basic cafe drinks and a couple specialty drinks made by the baristas!

    Sweater Weather Latte
    Justine D.

    This was my go-to study/ get work done spot. There is great seating with outlets for computer work. I will say that the music choices (the whole theme of the coffee shop) is too avant-garde for me and I can only take oh so many bob dylan vocal sound-alikes before I stick my earbuds in. I love the fall lattes... especially the yam one that was their response to the pumpkin spice latte. I think it was called the sweater weather. Friendly service with a table or two of outdoor seating.

    a variety of pastries

    I loved this little Coffee Shop, it was just a two block walk away from an Airbnb that we stayed at in Seattle, and right across the street from a Park. It was a cute shop and at most there was always 2 workers working when I came in. They had a simple menu, as well as special drinks handcrafted by the baristas. They also sold some pastries and breakfast sandwiches. They had some cold brew as well and some other cold drinks and little knick knaks. Coffee was simple, they had Lattes, Americanos, Mocha, etc. Came her for a quick morning coffee after my morning jog and walks. I got their Latte, simple yet so delicious. Workers were super friendly and energetic. I really loved their cruffins. They sell out of their pastries quick. Their chocolate chip cookie was also delicious, very big and moist.

    Cold brew and London Fog
    Timmy P.

    I live a block away so stopped by for a quick coffee run and I'm glad I did! They have coffee, espresso, teas and a nice selection of pastries. I think it's reasonably priced and the cafe itself is very roomy and spacious so I wouldn't mind grabbing a coffee here and doing some work. It is....a little dark in there (I wish they turned on the lights) and the Seattle cloudy weather that day made the cafe extra gloomy if you're into that vibe. The staff was also very friendly. The cold brew was a little too tart and watered down but the London Fog was tasty! They also serve seasonal drinks and latte art for customers who are dining in. Excited to swing by again and get some work done next time.

    My husband loved the Borgia - it's a mocha with orange peel. I snuck in a taste and it was delicious! I had the flapjack latte - I'd recommend getting it less sweet since the maple really comes through the drink in terms of sweetness. The espresso in both drinks was robust and well pulled. We also shared the Gruyère and caramelized onion croissant and it was delectable! So flaky and buttery, really hit the spot.

    As a new resident of Washington state, I've explored a number of different spots around the area,…read moreand Hello Em stands out as one of my absolute favorites! Unlike the majority of coffee shops I've tried in Seattle, Hello Em has ample parking right on the same street, which was a HUGE relief when I was running hungry and borderline hypoglycemic. When I walked in earlier this morning, I was warmly greeted by a staff member who, after I mentioned it was my first visit, thoughtfully walked me through their top-selling items. Bonus: while waiting for my food and beverage, I explored and was mesmerized by the beautifully curated aesthetic and Vietnamese decor, which was thoughtfully designed and made my wait enjoyable. I ordered an iced Cà Phê Brûlée (torched egg coffee), which turned out to be such a creamy, decadent treat once I stirred the torched top into the strong roast beneath it. For food, I was torn between the Sữa đặc (condensed milk) Pandan Croissant and the Ăn Sáng (breakfast) croissant so I decided to just order both. The Pandan Croissant was sweet and buttery, while the Breakfast Croissant was a protein-rich, savory blend of honey ham, Chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), omelet, and a light spread of mayo. I left full, caffeinated, and BEYOND impressed. If you're after high quality Vietnamese coffee and pastries paired with warm, attentive service, Hello Em is well worth the trip!!!!

Definitely a hopping place at the end of the workday. It's got a darker ambiance and it's cozy. It has indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, though we chose to stay indoor. Pro tip - the poofs make you sit REALLY low. The food choices around 1pm were dismal, and limited. Maybe they'd sold out, or maybe they just don't have a lot there, but nothing even looked fresh enough to warrant purchase. The other thing that killed me was the service. There was one person on the entire 4 hours I was there, and it made for an incredibly slow experience. It was friendly enough, if not a little dismissive. Prices are reasonable and there is paid parking across the street, but take that with a "for Seattle" caveat.

    I was a regular here for years and in addition to spending thousands of dollars, left this location…read morea glowing, five-star review. The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that.

Boona Boona inhabits this territory with admirable commitment. The space is undeniably curated--every chair, surface, and design choice seems to have undergone a rigorous internal audit for maximum urban cool. Unfortunately, the coffee itself feels rather blasé, as though it were merely incidental to the aesthetic project, had high hopes but fell short. One senses that considerable effort has gone into cultivating the idea of a coffee shop, while the actual coffee is left to fend for itself. The larger issue is the insistence on hipness. There is something faintly exhausting about the whole performance: the studied minimalism, the knowing atmosphere, the sense that you have wandered onto a particularly well-lit side street in Brooklyn circa 2014. And, with affection to Seattle, this isn't NYC. It doesn't need to cosplay as one. To be fair, there is plenty to admire if your primary concern is atmosphere and Instagrammability. But coffee should ultimately taste like something worth getting out of bed for, rather than merely providing a prop for the room. The irony is that there is actually a thoughtful and genuinely worthwhile mission beneath all the carefully curated café affectations: supporting African coffee growers, cultivating community, and preserving East African coffee traditions. Which makes the relentless performance of coolness feel somewhat unnecessary. The substance is there; I simply wish the coffee experience felt as compelling as the mission statement.
