Very cool spot tucked away in a dark alley in the pike place market. I can confidently say I have never seen a coffee spot like this one, and I don't think I ever will again! Very original. I loved how they had their own homemade syrups and great options for milk. The second I see macadamia milk on the menu, I know I'm in the right spot. I opted for a large latte with macadamia milk and half pumps of homemade blackberry syrup and homemade cheesecake syrup. The result was a very smooth and delicious beverage. Little did I know that this beverage would pair incredibly with donuts from a hop and a skip down the coffee shop! Seattle is so cool!! I don't think you could ever go wrong with anything on their menu here. Service was quick and I really enjoyed my coffee! read more

Ghost Alley Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Visiting for a conference and decided to walk down to Pike's to enjoy the morning market. Stopped at Ghost Alley Espresso, located near the famous Gum Wall. Long line formed but received an Americano quickly and piping hot! Had fun vibes and cool location. Menu was fairly standard with all the normal coffee options. Probably should've tried their dark roast drip coffee but enjoyed the americano as I walked around Pike's Place. read more

Ghost Alley Espresso was one of our favorite coffee stops on our Seattle trip, and it's certainly worth going down the alley to find! This place is a no-frills walk-up window serving up speciality drinks and amazing espresso. My wife ordered the banana latte and loved it. It was very well balanced. I ordered an espresso shot, and it was one of the best of our trip. Only second to Anchorhead. While you're down checking out the Gum Wall, be sure to check out Ghost Alley Espresso. This is a great way to start your day, adventuring through Pike Place Market. There isn't anywhere to sit, but the friendly staff will hook you up with scumotious coffee to power you through the rest of the market. Don't forget to soak in the spooky vibes as you truly won't find anywhere like Ghost Alley Espresso in Seattle! Cheers. read more

Delicious coffee! We stopped by here before a day of sightseeing in Seattle. We got here right after 10am on Sunday and there was a one so we had to wait 10 minutes or so before ordering once we ordered, I got their house special syrup. The coffee was good not the most stellar one I've had but I enjoyed it. The baristas were super nice and you can even have them "surprise you" if you want and they ask you fun questions to choose a syrup for you. Cute spot! read more

Heading to the gym wall this place is hard to miss. It's right in the corner. Coffee is deliciously delicous! Tried the salty nut and loved it! Service was fast and friendly! Totally Seattle vibes and vibe-N with it! One thing that stood out besides the taste was the lid, it has a more quality covered lid! I'm a coffee girly and I appreciated that! I even saved it to re-use! Save the earth read more

Ghost Alley espresso is an iconic spot in Seattle in the pike place market next to the gum wall. Literally next to it. It's literally in the alleyway and is a hole in the wall. Fully outdoors (albeit covered) and no seating. There is one employee who does everything from taking the order to making your coffee to delivering it outside via a side door. They have fun flavors like a mystery mocha and a salty nut latte. They also have classics like an americano and also barista creations. Lots of options to choose from. I enjoyed my salty nut latte and took it around the market for a fun daytime stroll. They have a stamp card for a free 10th drink and also sell merch. Definitely a must stop when visiting the market! read more

Ghost Alley Espresso - Salty Nut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My friend and I decided to grab coffee here on a Sunday morning before our sightseeing for the day! There wasn't too much of a line (maybe 10 min wait or so). My friend decided to get the Salty Nut Latte and I got the Mystery mocha. The barista made sure to ask me about any allergens and/or flavors I didn't like. It was cool to check out post alley and the graffiti and gum wall nearby while we waited for our coffee. Very fun vibes. My mystery mocha had hints of cherry and mixed in with the chocolate it was so delicious!! My friends latte was also yummy and subtle but sweet. Really loved this spot and can't wait to return! read more

A small coffee shop right at the end of Post Alley and near the gum wall. I think it's such a good business idea that they sell gum for 50 cents a piece! Last time I got their classic drink, the salty nut which was delicious. Tried their cold brew this time that is made with their spirit aged beans and was reminiscent of the Starbucks Reserve drink of a similar concept. Service is decently fast with plenty of things to wander around and look at in the meantime. read more

Unique location right next to the gum wall and only takeaway coffee. They even sell gum for the tourist to put some gum onto that wall. The service was friendly and the coffee was good. They have some specialty drinks like their Salty Nut and SMOG which are popular. They offer all the alternatives milks you may need as well. Would recommend and be prepared for a line as it is popular. read more

I needed some caffeine to start a very long day filled with adventure and Ghost Alley Espresso was the perfect place to do it. Since I was still used to East Coast time, we got there really early and had no wait which was nice. This cute coffee facade is located under the main Pike Place Market sign, down some stairs. Do note that the specialty drinks are a bit on the pricier side, but still pretty yummy. The barista who took our order was really sweet. This is like an outdoor coffee shop. There aren't exactly tables, but there are a few chairs and places around that you could find a seat if you really wanted one. It's a great place to grab a drink to walk around with. I loved all the art on the walls. It's also right next to the famous gum wall. They even sell gum! If you're in the area it's a nice place to check out. read more

"This is where we go for our own coffee" is what I was told from one of the booths when asking for a tried and true spot that they, themselves, would go for their morning fix. They calmly told me Ghost Alley and said to follow the alleyway and you'll be there once near the gum wall. And off I went like Dorothy on the yellow brick road. Once I navigated to the area across Pike's, I saw a handful of people waiting in line and it was the coolest damn thing to see. Situated with tons of local artwork and graffiti work, take some time to see the issues they're tackling while waiting in line. Their order window is so laid back and the staff here were true badasses and I loved their sense of style and dress. As the true entrepreneurs they are, they even sell gum for folks lol. All of their syrups are made in-house and I opted for a marshmallow lavender iced latte. DAMN WAS THIS LEGIT. It was the right balance of sweet and calm. Their stickers are so fun and I loved the postcard they have as well. Totally recommend grabbing one or two. They have a handful of chairs to wait in while your coffee is made in the back. They have a seperate door where one of the Ghost Alley folks steps out with your order. Ghost Alley Espresso you have my heart and my caffeine fix. read more

The staff is very nice but this place was a huge disappointment. I got the salty nut latte, barely any coffee all milk.

Located just beneath the Market sign by gum alley! The wife and I loved the vibes down there because the shop feels so much more unique than the other shops inside of the market. The staff are super kind and we wish we could film more of the menu & the window they serve you from but they have signs posted to kindly not record the staff so we didn't. We loved the dirty chai the salty nut! so much we went back the morning of the day we were leaving for a pick me up to the airport. P.S forgot to bring gum for gum alley? they sell some! read more

Does not meet the high bar of Seattle's coffee. As a matter of fact, for the price and the 25% tip the barista asking, it's far from meeting the bar. The signature ghost rider tastes like water. The taste of coffee, milk, chocolate, or even hot spices is lacking. Go there if you want to enjoy the ambiance of the spooky gum wall, but only take a look. Don't expect good coffee. read more

Ghost Alley Espresso - Ghost rider mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

i like the design of the store and the concept of the mystery mocha always being a different flavor and you can also have a free remake if you don't like what you receive the first time! They asked me what super power i would choose and maybe that is what they are basing what flavor to add into the mocha. it does take quite a bit of time for them to make it but luckily we were in no rush and it was not too cold outside. I can't confirm for sure but i believe i was provided with a cinnamon mocha which was a little above average! cute concept, fun art and worth a try 3/5 my partner got a vanilla latte which was a similar level of yummy i would say to the mystery mocha. 3/5 read more

Next to gum wall in Post St, Ghost Alley Espresso is a must-try. There's usually a small line, but it's worth the wait. Staff is very friendly and kind even during the busy times. It's also a great place for souvenirs, such as magnets, stickers, or beans. Their coffee is superb, and while I'm not a coffee person myself, they can make a fine pour-over or just simple lattes. Highly recommend. read more

We stopped by this coffee shop while on vacation because we read such great reviews. Sadly, we left pretty disappointed. We tried the specialty iced lattes that were recommended, but both drinks had a burnt espresso taste and lacked the flavor we were expecting. When we asked for our drinks to be remake the employee at the window rolled her eyes and gave us such an attitude. Paying $19 for two coffees made it feel even less worth it. Super bummed this place was a flop. read more

Ghost alley espresso calmed my caffeine fix! The line was pretty short when I went around 1pm. They are a few chairs on the side to wait for your order (or drink it). The whisky cold brew sounded great, but so did the salty nut latte. The barista suggested I get the cold brew with the salty but syrup. It was so good! I typically get much more cream in my coffee, but the flavor balanced well enough and stood on its own. read more

Maybe it's much better to go here not during chaotic peak times (went on a Sat early afternoon) because my iced mocha wasn't well made. Very skimpy on the espresso with the majority of the cup filled with milk. The coffee brew taste itself (the little of it that was in the cup) was pretty flavorful though so I can (faintly) see why there's a fanbase for this coffee spot. Friendly staff here. Strictly a grab-and-go-spot (order at the window right next to the Gum Wall). read more

I unfortunately was very unsatisfied with my drink. I ordered a large marshmallow oat milk latte and it didn't taste like even a hint of marshmallow. I felt like I wasted $7+ on hot milk. It's a shame since what drew me to the store was the fact that they make their own syrups in house. On the plus, the cashier was super cool and friendly. Their merch was pretty cute. Someone I know mentioned they enjoyed the plain coffee, so other drinks may be worth trying out, but I won't be back. The spot is right by the gum wall. read more
