Good spot! Got an iced mocha; it was really nice, great flavor. I don't usually get those but the person in front of me ordered it and it looked good. Glad I did! Really hit the spot after a long morning run. Barista was chill and friendly. Seems like a quiet space in the morning. read more

Stopped in for a an afternoon pick me up! We got the house espresso and London smog! Delicious quality stuff. The baristas were super friendly! Wasn't the coziest spot, but we still had a nice afternoon crafting and reading. read more

Really good coffee. Courteous staff. Neat and tidy atmosphere. I will drive thirty minutes or more and pass many other coffee shops to get here. read more

I've tried both the Downtown and Capitol Hill location and much prefer the Capitol Hill location. The vibe at the Capitol Hill location is that of a relaxed cafe where you can hang out and have your cute specialty drink and buy espresso beans at your pace. Whereas the downtown location is really a take-out order booth that can't fit more than four people. Service at the Capitol Hill location is more personable compared to the downtown location where the priority is to get the drinks out as fast as possible. The Lush Life drink is at least consistent between both locations and is a really nice specialty coffee drink. The espresso and the grapefruit are well balanced and the coffee is strong. The single origin espresso is good but a little too winey for my taste and I would've preferred trying the other espresso. It really depends on what type of vibe you want. Both Ghost Note locations provide good coffee but one focuses more on take-out and the other focuses on cafe sit down. read more

I'd heard such good things about this coffee shop and finally stopped by yesterday. I grabbed their Lush Life bottle to go and it was simply divine. I'll definitely be back to try more of their specialty coffee mixes. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great coffee! read more

It's a cute little quiet spot for coffee. We were greeted as we walked in. The menu is posted at the entrance so that was convenient to review it before going to the front and order. He took my order and I sat while I waited. Ordered a large mocha. The cup looked like a medium. The coffee came hot so be aware. I actually like it really hot just wasn't ready for it. It was really good coffee! The spot is good for someone who likes a quiet space and good coffee. read more

Great coffee. They have a bunch of super unique drinks and the space is decent sized. They sell some other products like a little market. The coffee is on the more expensive side but not much more than your average local coffee shop. It's super walkable off Pine and close to downtown. read more

Ghost coffee is a hip and cool neighborhood cafe, went here for coffee and work this morning as I had an appointment nearby. Enjoyed the coffee and quiet space to work, it was perfect. I got the Vanilla Latte and it was really good. read more

If you want innovative mocktail format coffee drinks, this is the place! This is a fairly spacious coffee shop in Capitol Hill that has many different types of coffee drinks that you wouldn't really find elsewhere. It's strongly recommended to enjoy the drinks for here than to-go since the presentation is nicer. I got the Sun Ships which is one of their more popular mainstay drink which has espresso and grapefruit, rosemary, coconut, sparkling water with a slight tartness to it. I enjoyed every sip. While it was almost $10 after tax and an auto 10% service charge (even more reason to dine-in if you're already paying this), I felt it was worth it due to the quality and innovative nature of the drinks read more

Had to take my partner to one of my favorite cafe spots in Seattle! Ordered a cup of mulling spice latte... so it is mulling spice syrup mixed with oat milk. It was amazing and unique! Very smooth tasting for a latte and the sweetness wasn't overpowering like other lattes with syrups around the city. The flavors in latte were full of cinnamon, clove, orange peel, and zesty black lime. Just perfect seasonal drink in the fall! Just love this selection of seasonal drinks in PNW. The service was quick and nice. Full of locals coming in and out with drinks! Feels cozy even if it was a short visit. read more

Ghost Note Coffee - Mulling spice latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ghost Note Coffee doesn't just serve coffee -- they compose it. I came for the caffeine and stayed for the craft. The Golden Ghost was earthy, bright, and beautifully balanced with ginger and turmeric, but what really caught my attention were their signature drinks. You can taste the experimentation in everything -- from the Lush Life with espresso, coconut milk, and orange blossom, to the London Smog, a smoky-meets-sweet take on the London Fog. I also tried a cortado with their Uganda Yembek Natural roast -- smooth, complex, and served with a side of sparkling water (a small but thoughtful touch that Seattle's best shops never miss). The baristas here know their stuff, and they treat every drink like a conversation. The vibe feels like Capitol Hill distilled -- creative, low-key, a little rebellious. The space itself is cozy and sunlit, with regulars rotating between laptops and journals, and an undercurrent of music that hums instead of shouts. This is where you come when you want to feel the art in coffee again. Whether you're here for the Autumn Tonic, the Espresso Soda, or just to slow down for ten minutes, Ghost Note is the kind of café that reminds you why Seattle still leads the coffee world. read more

5 of us ordered a drink w different flavors they all tasted the same and it was $8 for a 12oz cup of milk

One of my favorite places to hang out and drink fun drink options, everyone the works here is super cool and fun! Such a chill fun coffee house! Highly recommend read more

First time here. The name immediately drew me in - I think it's one of the more beautiful names for a cafe that I've come across. Interior was warm and cozy with limited seating and fairly minimalist design aesthetic. I ordered a latte with whole milk and a slice of the pistachio rose cake. Both were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the latte; the espresso had a rich and deep flavor and the art inscribed upon the foam thereof retained it's integrity all the way down to the bottom of the cup. Kudos to the barista. I do recommend this cafe and will likely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Cheers! read more

I'm not usually one for iced or sweet or complex drinks--usually just go for various preparations of coffee--but have to say their Lush Life is exceptionally tasty. The London Smog is good too. Regular hot coffee varieties are good too. Staff is very friendly. I like that tip is included (though you can top up too); God, I wish more businesses would move away from tips. Space is pleasant but seating is limited. read more

I went there and got a iced vanilla latte made with homemade vanilla syrup. Let me tell you it is delicious First,of all the girls that works there is amazing Today Courtney. and. Sophie are behind the bar and wow let me tell you my drink even came with a slice of orange. You must come here if you're in Seattle I will definitely be back. read more

I stopped by Ghost Note with friends before we road tripped to Vancouver!! It was close by which is why we went, but I thought it was just okay. It's a pretty cute interior but the drinks aren't too stand out. I like that they had merchandise inside like apparel and spirits/bitters. It's nice to look around while you wait for your drink! I was interested in the seasonal drinks but I opted for a chai latte (8oz). It seemed quite small but I enjoyed it, though I've definitely had better chais. Our drinks were brought out fast and there's a little station with lids, straws, and stirrers! The logo is also pretty cool. read more

This spot has been popping on my IG feed for a while so when I was in the area, I decided to check it out. First of all, this is a cute coffee shop in CH. As you enter the shop, you'll see some merch right off the bat. I was tempted to shop but I controlled myself! We got the Winter Soda, which is a seasonal drink made with their mulling spice syrup, and their Lush Life iced latte, which is made with their orange blossom honey syrup. I love the fact that they make their syrups in house! I loved my winter soda drink! It was refreshing but not too sweet. The Lush Life drink was good, but not impressive. But maybe it's because I don't like iced coffee drinks that much. I would love to come back and try their hot coffee drinks as well as their pastries! read more

I'm recently sober, and never would have guessed that the best NA spirit and bitter loaded drinks would be from a coffee spot!? For dry January 2024 they have a fun menu with so many drinks it was hard to choose. They sell all of the spirits and bitters in store too! Coffee and vibe was also smooth and warm. I got talking with the owner(?)/mixologist working bc mentioned the new sobriety and they let me taste the options. Went home with a bottle of Ritual Rum Alternative, which has chilies added to give it a bite, would recommend. NA spirits are 10% off in January if you spend $30 or more, run don't walk!!! read more

Three drinks were ordered in our group and all of them were really yummy. Oat milk cappuccino with mulling spice syrup - no need to add sugar or anything to this drink, it was delightful. Very light, and if you're not a super coffee drinker it was a good dose of caffeine with a really fun flavor. Chai - classic. Great spice and slightly on the less sweet side. Naima (seasonal) - from what I heard, a solid and yummy espresso drink. Great local spot to get some work done, quality coffee, and friendly staff. read more

I have been eyeing this cafe because it has one of the most creative drink menus I have seen in Seattle. And wow it did not disappoint! My first visit I ordered the Lush Life and the potato pastry. The potato pastry was meh: tasted fine but costed $5. I think I will probably not order pastries from here in future visits. The Lush Life was a game-changer. I have avoided getting coffee or espresso drinks with citrus because I didn't like it the one time I tried it, but I really loved this one. The orange flavor was a nice complement to the coffee taste. It wasn't too overpowering and added a nice tangy sweetness. They also add a slice of grapefruit skin which gave off a slight grapefruit aroma, further elevating the drink. This one drink has made me more open to trying new espresso drinks. I came back the next day because I kept thinking of the Lush Life drink I had. I want to try and drink everything on their menu! I ordered the Nefertiti (a seasonal drink) with fig and cinnamon bitters. The Nefertiti was chocolatey and rich. I didn't taste any fig flavors, but did taste some cinnamon. I think it was a good drink, but not something I would want to order again. I wish ordering the signature drinks didn't cost almost $10 (after tax and I think they auto add 10% gratuity). Otherwise I would come here everyday! There's a decent amount of space to work here too and the ambiance seems nice (although the first time I visited they were playing heavy metal which made me have to wear my earphones). read more

Great espresso and lattes! Pastries and cookies are a crap shoot. I've had a few that are obviously day olds and stale.

Great coffee shops in Seattle are a dime a dozen and Ghost Note does not dissapoint. Tried the Oat Nog ($5.45) and London Smog ($5.75). The Oat Nog was nicely frothed and spiced but very sweet! I will have to come back for the coffee / espresso creations. Cozy Interior. read more

I usually don't leave reviews because I understand everyone can have an off day--but today's experience at Ghost Note was really disappointing. I've been going to Ghost Note for years and have always appreciated the quality and atmosphere. Unfortunately, today's experience was incredibly unprofessional. I waited over 15 minutes for a simple iced Americano, which was initially made incorrectly because the barista didn't write down the order. She then made the correct drink and I politely mentioned I was getting late for work. As I was leaving, she loudly remarked to other customers, "Why did she stop at a coffee shop then?" That comment felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, especially when I had already waited longer than expected and did not say anything except I have to go. It left me feeling disrespected in a space I used to enjoy. Sadly, I won't be coming back. read more

Small cafe more suitable for take-out rather than dine in I ordered a flat white (take out), the coffee tones were quite different from the others I have tried in Seattle. It was quite fruity and was a nice change from regular coffee/latte/flat white I liked the quality of cups and lids too. Felt very reliable and durable They have some fancy coffee too that I would like to try next. read more

The lush life is a must try!!! I came here for an afternoon pick me up on Sunday and I haven't been able to stop thinking about this place. The space is cute and small, though probably not the best study spot since there's limited seating. However, it's definitely worth trying out for their creative drinks! The lush life was divine and I was shocked by how good it was. The flavors were all very present and the almond milk complemented the orange blossom so well. One of the best lattes I've ever had! read more

Person 1: Came here in the afternoon on a Sunday. This is the Sun Ship, pretty good citrus taste and definitely a unique drink. Reminds me of a virgin espresso martini. Inside is not the most comfortable so I wouldn't wanna hang out here personally, no offense to anyone who would want to... service was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Person 2: This is an unconventional coffee spot, if you like trying new things it'll probably do the trick for you. Cold drinks here might be particularly good on a hot summer day. read more

Very cute and classic Seattle coffee shop. I ordered one of their seasonal drinks, the Naima. It consisted of cookie butter, spiced cookie crumble, cinnamon bitters, and oat milk. They only have one size and I believe it was 12oz. The drink was DELICIOUS! I know they make all their syrups in-house and everything's very natural foods focused as well. Although it was super tasty, the price is just absurd to me. And especially for the size of the drink. It was over $9 for this drink. I was in shock. I definitely would only come here for a treat, once in a while. It is just too costly for a go-to coffee place unfortunately. read more

A cute little cafe that I stumbled upon while walking around Cap Hill. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Service was friendly and they have tables and seating inside their cafe. I got the London Smog tea latte because I'm not too much of a coffee drinker. They use a tea bag to steep the tea and this latte came with oatmilk and had a really interesting smoky flavor. It was tasty! Not as rich or indulgent as a chai latte but I enjoyed it. I also got their hazelnut, fig, cocoa milk bread. There was a special name for it, but I can't remember. This was just ok, it was really dry and wasn't too sweet. I should have went with their apple bread which looked like it would have been better. Overall, a cute coffee shop, not sure if I would come back unless I was near the area. read more

3.5 Decent coffee with I teresting cocktail style drinks but pretty over priced. I got a dirty chai latte which was good but I've had better. It's kind of just okay. The inside was cute and they had cool merchandise to check out. read more

The best orange infused latte I've ever experienced was here in this small jazzy cafe called Ghost Note. Their menu has a collection of innovative coffee concoctions like I've never seen before-- in a good way. The flavors are sophisticated, classy, and creative. I felt like I was watching a former-mixologist-now-barista tend to my drink and I can say that I fully trust them with my life. I was skeptical of the Almond Orange Latte (Lush Life) and almost subbed oat milk but the barista said that almond milk pairs really well with the orange so I left it. I'm glad I didn't change it because my latte was so smooth and so delightful I can't even describe the experience other than looking forward to having it again. I always order orange infused lattes hoping each time it would be better than the next and Ghost note has topped them all. Kudos. Also the presentation is cherry on top. read more

This is a cute neighborhood coffee shop with a big menu and lots of merchandise to for purchase. Seating is plenty as most get theirs to-go, but also there are only a few tables. The rest of the seats awkwardly face the wall. I had the Lush Life, which is definitely worth trying if you like orange flavored coffee. read more

It doesn't look like anything special BUT the drinks are BOMB!!!! I've never had a coffee with a orange peel in it before (as if it's an old fashion cocktail) but they do it here and I swear it makes it SO much better. They have a homemade syrups and they even have their specialty lattes in larger jugs so you can buy it to-go and drink it all week! Go here!!! read more

Since Ghost Note is in such close proximity, it is my go-to coffee. I've had at least 40+ lush life and they are usually phenomenal, out-of-this world! All the baristas are so kind and friendly! That being said with new faces, I will say this is the first lush life that has missed the mark comparably to all the other ones I've had prior. And I will say visitors/tours might not notice the difference but more frequent regulars might (: Just some kind feedback since I do love my lush life. Everyone's a work in progress! read more

Found this place while looking for non-Roastery coffee shops on Capitol Hill. It wasn't crowded on a Thursday morning, so I was easily able to find a seat to enjoy my coffee. I ordered a potica bread & an iced latte with their seasonal syrup. I was pleasantly surprised to find a grapefruit peel in my drink as well. When drinking straight from the cup (no straw), it adds a pleasant floral citrus to the sip which I really loved. Friends ordered the lush life and mocha shake with malt. Both were also delicious. The drinks here are flavorful without being too sweet. If you're looking for coffee with a cocktail twist, this is your place! read more

This is my favorite coffee in Seattle. It's very good and the vanilla syrup they use is so good, they might hand make it but don't quote me on that. The barista is always nice!
