A locals' place that pays some serious attention to coffee, gets their bagels from Bob's bagels (Bob actually makes them locally and they are so good), uses jam from a woman who makes them in her kitchen and in exquisite combinations, pastries are from Pane d'Amore.... this place is so good. And if you spy a pie, a slice is strongly recommended as they come from the local pie specialist. Also, it's a fun environment. Joe and his wife are upbeat, fun and the staff are seriously schooled in coffee manipulation and are really really nice. You're likely to overhear conversations about writing, juggling, local music, and all things sailing. It's a cozy place to be on a cold day and the views are so pretty. Free wifi, of course. : ) read more

This is a wooden sleek piece of work! Me and my friend enjoyed a walk around the beach and strolled inside here. The gal up front was super friendly and pleasant as I asked about their "Dragonfly Chai". It's a great spot to end/start a stroll, have a cup of your weapon of choice and be all happy & chill. We parked on the window seats with the neat view. read more

Three stars because of the free WiFi and atmosphere else it would have been less. The latte was expensive and cold. The banana bread was hard as a rock. The service was extremely unfriendly. Others have mentioned this, same person. Maybe find a new career. Sunday is a little limited in PT. read more

Love the chai here.... Dragonfly... and they serve coffee in all different ways which is good. Good baked goods though the banana bread I had was a bit stale. The rating is based on the excellent service and quality of coffee and tea I have had over the several years I have been coming here. Super knowledgeable staff. Friendly but not too friendly. read more

Amazing coffee! Friendly staff. Cool location right near the docks. Favorite coffee place here.

We are both sailors and can't miss a place which serves coffee and is attached to a wooden boat chandlery. The staff at velocity were very friendly and efficient, they make great coffee, heat a good croissant, and serve a mean blueberry muffin. Outside the main window was a period dressed photographer making a fortune by photographing the passing parade of Steampunkers. Velocity is a nice coffee shop which makes very good coffee. The Pacific Northwest is rapidly becoming my favorite food place in the US. Velocity is good. Go there! read more

We had so much fun at this cute little coffee shop. The staff knew exactly how to make the kids hot coco, half hot, they even made it special looking just like the adult coffee! There pastries were also full of flavor. My husband had the maple scone, that he loved and this was coming from a nonbreakfast person. The bagels were great too read more

I have crippling social anxiety, and this is one of the only coffee spots I can go in, and feel comfortable. The folks there are warm and neighborly, and very human. They also do a great job with regional coffees. Like, their Ethiopian actually tastes like Ethiopian... I honestly think some coffee places just BS people, thinking no one will know the difference between costa Rican and Sumatra. But I do, and that's why I would only ever go there. Also, the crowd that goes there is pretty diverse and not all hipsterish. And best of all.... The amazing sunrise from the dock. I will miss this spot. read more

Coffee love. Brown sugar and cardamom latte + spicy salted mocha. What? So good. Atmosphere awesome. Gorgeous wood everywhere. Cozy and light at the same time. Must go back before we leave town! read more

Not only our favorite coffee shop, but our favorite spot in town. Expert coffee prep, local baked goods (GF almond flour fig bar is my go-to), Bob's Bagels (toasted with butter) and finding a table or bench outside to watch the waves.... hits the sweet spot every time. The staff treat each other and visitors very very well. Smiles all around. read more

Of all the coffeehouses in town, this will always be my favorite. The coffee is always deep n' smoky, and the addition is of the whip cream with a faint tinge of orange essence really "tops it off"! I like the setup inside, with lots of windows, light and beautiful wood. But speaking in superlatives- a breve from Velocity, enjoyed on the wind blown shore in grateful solitude, is my idea a gift from the Universe! I should add that never have I had anything but the sweetest and friendliest service. These guys make me so happy! read more

We were visiting Port Townsend and had the misfortune of wandering into a different coffee shop with absolutely terrible coffee. Velocity saved the day with great coffee! Cute shop and friendly people! Would definitely go back! read more

Our favorite coffee shop in Port Townsend! Perfect location for getting a cuppa and walking the dog by the waterfront. Their baristas are skilled, friendly, and fast. Their specialty coffee drinks are creative and delicious. My current fave is the spicy salted mocha, an amazing blend of sweet, salty, spicy, and chocolate! Pro tip: great place to get gifts for the coffee lover in your life. 15/10 would recommend. read more

Best coffee in Port townsend in a cool shop and a great location. The shop is a very pleasant atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and authentic. The location means you can enjoy your coffee by the water at the maritime center and point Hudson--great spots for sitting or walking around. They also have an outdoor order window if you don't want to go inside. This is where the locals get their coffee in Port Townsend. read more

Velocity Coffee is my favorite place to go when sailing/boating out of Port Townsend (North Puget Sound). I may even venture out to say it's some of the best regular brewed coffee I've ever had in the Seattle Area and I consider myself quite the coffee connoisseur. The coffee is from a local organic coffee company. Very homey feel and a must go when in Port Townsend! read more

Being a remote worker, I get to try all the local coffee shops to (a) see how good their coffee, food, and environment is and (b) see if they'll let me work there all day, sampling everything, eating up their wifi, and still not kick me out. I can say that this place is one of two in PT I enjoy frequenting. The short version is that they care, and it's a great place to hang out, whether with friends or working through the day. If you get a bad espresso pull, tell them and they'll be genuinely concerned and be happy to make it right. If you want a laugh, just stick around and listen to and watch Joe. He's awesome. Want sensitivity, talk with Sarah (sp?). Everyone here is great, even if I didn't mention them in this review. The only "meh" thing I have to say about this place is the lack of cushy chairs. But that's tempered by the bar, with plenty of space for your laptop, plenty of outlets to plug into and a view that faces out toward the ocean, where you can watch ferry boats and sail boats go by. On nice days, the windows in front of you can be pushed completely open so it feels like you are outside, not cooped up inside. Their wifi is solid as well, and I'm an expert in judging wifi. So, don't go here. It's terrible. I don't want you hogging up my wifi, taking my seat at the bar, or getting more jokes in with Joe than I do. Keep your distance and get your coffee somewhere else, tourist. ;) read more

The coffee was what I expected Washington State coffee to taste like. They have a cute name for some of their lattes and the prices are good. If you go make sure to try the salmon cream cheese bagel, yum! read more

Velocity Coffee is a great place, the baristas know what they are doing, the place is spotless and beautiful and 'most everything just seems right. However there were two things that disappointed me and I was surprised to find in such a classy place: First, there doesn't seem to be any distinction between a Cappuccino and a latte except for the size (a cap in a 6oz and a latte in a 8oz) no spooning involved. Seriously guys, I expect more. Second, the prices here are very high considering I was served conventional homogenized milk and its well known that Stumptown and Olympia aren't exactly the highest quality exclusive beans on the market. I couldn't help wondering if the price premium was just paying the rent on the fancy building. read more

"You know, this is - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee. I've had many cups of coffee in my life and this, this is one of the best. Damn good coffee. And hot! " ~Special Agent Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks, WA Damn straight. Have had a several damn fine cups of coffee at Velocity Coffee, as well as some incredibly fine mochas. Good coffee, nice ambiance, and friendly staff. This is my go to coffee place in PT. read more

Establishments like these are the new standard in a qualify coffee house. They serve properly prepared beverages for all tastes, including fresh pour overs and chemex for those who feel like waiting. Their food offerings make for tasty light meals and their available at really reasonable prices. Very comfortable interior with friendly staff that are easy to make conversation with. read more

One of my favorite coffee places in the PNW. This joint uses fantastic artisan coffees from a variety of roasters. They obviously take the care needed to deliver top notch drip coffee and espresso. The location has views and a nautical/ Maritime feel with a boat builder and boat tackle shop sharing the waterfront building. read more

Delicious coffee, excellent location and great Paleo treats. We loved their signature lattes and my daughter loved the "lemonade fizz". This place is right on the water, near a small beach area, beautiful spot to hang out and drink coffee. My only complaint was that it was a little pricey. $28 for 2 coffees, 2 kids drinks and 2 treats. There was no posted menu, so I honestly have no idea how much each item cost, we selected our drinks based on barista recommendation. read more

Wonderful coffee house with a great selection of independent roasters and variety of preparations. They also sell pastries from a couple of local bakeries (Pane d'Amore was one). I ordered a pourover from a roaster I was unfamiliar with (Ruby Roasters) and was very happy. I'd suggest displaying the flavor profiles a little more prominently, to make the choice a little less random. Nice view too. read more

Get the "bee sting" iced (honey, cinnamon and vanilla latte), go walk down to the water and kick your feet up. Coffee shop is a cool spot hidden in the back of a new building dealing with all things wooden boats. Nice addition to the downtown waterfront area. read more

The coffee here is pretty good, however the staff are rude (lady with faded green hair). Not impressed with her personality....#snob

We had one morning and early afternoon to explore Port Townsend, and Velocity Coffee was one third of a compelling trifecta. We walked past the numerous elegant Victorian buildings to the more modern yet weathered Marine Center. I was served a perfectly pulled double espresso with a small glass of sparkling water on the side. Good vibes (reggae music) and professionalism in full effect. read more

It is a shame that such a beautiful place has unwelcoming and rude staff. My husband and his close friend were going to use this place as a regular meeting spot for the planning and creation of their new book. Unfortunately after only their second meeting the staff was unfriendly and when my husband's friend asked for his coffee the cashier asked "Don't you want that to go?" He replied no and was questioned a second time "Isn't that to go?" In a town that calls it self an "Arts community". Needless to say they will NOT be returning. read more

I added half and half to my latte because I found it to be too strong. So I increased the overall volume of my drink at no extra charge. My trustworthy drink maker gave me travel tips and I followed them. Considering the above this place offers excellent value. read more

This place is right near the water surrounded by room-sized wooden boats being repaired or aired. It's just fantastic for atmosphere and quality of espresso. I make it a must stop when visiting Port Townsend for the farmer's market or for a stroll with the family to the used bookstore and shops. The espresso drinks are lush and strong. I get extra shot iced lattes and they are delicious especially in the summer. Can't' wait to get back to this place. Wonderful for hanging out to work or write and watercolor. read more

I ordered my go to drink, an iced caramel soy latte. They didn't have caramel, weird right? But they did have their house made brown sugar syrup so I decided to try it. My drink was $6.26! What the hell! That is expensive even for local coffee shops, not to mention I said light ice and I swear the barista gave me MORE. My cup was half ice, half drink, tf?! And the brown sugar syrup was BARELY noticeable. Overall, over priced and I will not be returning. read more

There are moments I want to capture, and seeing this quaint little spot, after walking through the nautical shop, I wanted to sit and and absorb the atmosphere :) we ordered cappuccino and americanos....
