    This is by far ironically the best coffee out of the 5 places I have tried so far. You can actually taste the coffee in the lattes it's not just entirely milk! It's super conveniently located which was also super exciting! I highly recommend!

    Officially my favorite place for a morning cafe in downtown Seattle. A friend in the office offered me an alternative option to my big box routine latte on busy mornings. She suggested the Turkish latte and it was immediately my Fonte fav after the first sip. I've not tried anything from the brunch menu but each beverage I've tried has been uniquely perfect.

    Cashless?  So what's in the tip jar?
    Marcos T.

    Ok, the food and coffee were delicious. The two ladies working were very pleasant and provided excellent customer service. That's what got them the 4 stars, but I have a question. Why do they insist on being "cashless" but still put out a tip jar? Where are they going to spend the cash? Certainly not at their own establishment. Cash is good for all debts public and private as it states on the legal tender. Accept cash and your employees will receive more tips.

    Sage latte. Extra sage for all the zombies today! Shoo!

    Bummer!! Normally, fonte can do no wrong with their lattes. Fonte Seattle that is. Tried this place out and I was pretty disappointed. It's in the lobby of Hyatt regency Bellevue. Open space, plenty of places to sit. They have Togo food ( salad and sandwiches, even a few cookies). Pretty big espresso bar. Less food option than Seattle but isn't missing much for the espresso bar to lack in coffee. I got my fonte favorite: sage latte. It was pretty much a normal regular latte. No sage on top, nor the syrup! They forgot to add! I went back and told them about it: they added! So much that it was not drinkable! Boo! Left my cup 90% full! The barista just said awe! Sorry. Sorry indeed! Should've been the same! But not even close. Bummer!!!!

    Stale cinnamon roll with a cold center.

    I ordered a chai latte and a giant cinnamon roll. While the flavors of the latte were exquisite, it was served like warm. The cinnamon roll looked delicious - but it turned out to be dry, cold in the center, and it left an oily funk on my tongue that reminded me of a smelly refrigerator.

    Chocolate chip cookie was so hard and inedible. Asked them to warm it up and it only made it worse.

    This place has such awesome vibes with large windows to capture every photon from the typical grey…read morewinter day in Seattle. Exposed brick wall and warm tones from the wood furniture makes this shop a cozy third place. A few indoor plants give it a fresh touch. The baristas here are definitely dedicated to their craft! Their drink offerings are standard, although they also have housemade syrups and specialty drinks (seasonal mochas, lattes, etc) if you want to try something different. I love how they highlight their single origin espresso on the menu with the tasting notes. They also offer matcha and teas if you're more into that. I haven't tried any bakery goods, but looking at the pastry case, they're quite popular. Victrola embodies the perfect Seattle coffeehouse- one that I wish people knew more widely rather than the twin tailed siren that's spread globally...

    I don't normally drink coffee (I'm more of a tea person, if all the boba and tea shop reviews I…read morewrite don't say anything!), but I'm always up for new experiences, especially ones that allow me to expand my taste horizons and ability to describe flavors and aromas. After booking a tea tasting at a local tea shop, I went around looking for coffee tastings and found Victrola. Every Friday at 11AM, they offer a free tasting class, so we, of course, booked the very next Friday! Arriving at the shop a bit before 11AM, it was pretty full, with most tables taken and a short line of 2-3 people in front of me. We checked in with the cashier and he said the barista was getting things ready. Maybe 5 minutes later, we were led to the room in the back, where the barista introduced the tasting experience and handed us two sheets of paper, one with the anatomy of a coffee cherry, and the other with their coffee flavor wheel. For this week, it was only us two for the tasting, so we had a full monopoly of the barista (according to him, the prior week was 8 people!). We were able to try two coffees - both single origin, one from Guatemala and the other from Colombia. We started by sniffing the beans and grounds, with the Guatemalan emanating notes of lightly roasted peanuts (per tasting notes, it's milk chocolate, orange, and "elegant") and the Colombian with dark soy and umami notes (per tasting notes, it's pineapple, melon, and date), at least to my nose. The barista brewed both via pour over (if I remember correctly, it was 203F water with 20g of the Guatemalan, 24g of the Colombian in 360g of water). I forgot the exact grind sizes he used. Interestingly, the flavor profile of the Colombian was completely different to me between the grounds and the final brew. Very fruity throughout - I'm not that adept at description, but it's definitely a fresher, crisp fruit, not dried fruit, and not red fruit or berries, nor citrus. I'll have to file this one away as pineapple and green apple, per the barista. In terms of mouthfeel, it's thick, almost syrupy, coating the mouth with the fruity flavors. The Guatemalan, on the other hand, is completely different, starting with roasted coffee, then still with the peanut notes, but also adding a caramel-like essence. Very 'brown' on the color wheel. Mouthfeel-wise, thinner, watery like tea. I have never had good quality coffee before and this was certainly an experience that opened my eyes to how good coffee can actually be. I still have a ton of tea leaves to go through, but perhaps when I'm nearing the end, I'll have to start drinking more coffee. Tea, then chocolate, and now maybe coffee? My wallet is crying...

    Food: Romeo Mocha which is raspberry and dark chocolate. It was delicious. Highly recommend…read more Menu: Many options to choose from with their specialty in mochas. The specialty mocha list did not have pricing which I wish was clearly stated for transparency. Ambiance: Simple and clean place with plenty of tables and a couch which seems to stay full, sometimes hard to get a table. Service: Super friendly. There were a couple options I wanted to try and was unsure about sweetness levels and flavor choices. The barista was very accommodating and informed to let her know if sweetness needed to be adjusted or if she can accommodate another drink if I ended up not loving the one I ordered. Value: Great quality and reasonable pricing.

I ordered the triple chocolate muffin and a latte. The muffin was great, but the latte was quite weak and overly milky it tasted pretty diluted. I don't think I'll be coming back for the coffee, but that muffin definitely has me heading straight to Macrina next time. The barista was sweet and friendly, and although they kindly let us know we couldn't have our drinks in mugs since they were closing in an hour, they said it in such a considerate and warm way that I really appreciated it.
