Walking to Amtrak and discovered this wonderful coffee spot. Very close to sports stadiums and hotels. Ipen early too! Flavorful coffee and nice selection pastry and sandwiches. Cozy wood seating and decoration provides the coffee chill ambiance. Friendly service and fast hustle. Will be back! read more

Today was my first day trying this coffee shop and when I mentioned that to the barista at the counter and asked what he recommended, he was kind of rude and pretentious in his response. He first started by saying he wanted to recommend me something I like to drink, before continuing in an honestly kind of condescending rant about how their coffee shop is too high volume to make specialty drinks and the menu was all they served. I hadn't asked about specialty drinks, I'd asked what he recommended. So without his recommendation, I ordered my go-to of a 12oz oat milk mocha. The barista did the most adorable latte art in it for me. I love when local coffee shops put in the extra effort to make the experience more special! I just wish that care went into the cafe seating area. Every single table was disgusting and covered in crumbs. I sat at one table and was so grossed out I ended up moving to another. And the floor isn't level either so the table I was sitting at was egregiously slanted. With my coffee I'd also ordered a danish, but the uncomfortable seating situation didn't invite me to stay and try it. Further, I'd asked them for my danish in a plate but they bagged it for me anyway. They did offer to put it in a plate, but it felt dumb at that point to waste the bag and dirty a plate. I did try the danish when I got home though and enjoyed the tart raspberry flavor and flaky texture. I love the local coffee shop vibes here. If it weren't for the lack of cleanliness, this would be such a cute place to come with friends and study. read more

I stopped in for a lavender coffee drink and a donut. Both were decent, and the café has a nice atmosphere, but nothing really stood out to me. The drink was a bit too sweet for my taste, though others who enjoy sweeter coffee beverages might like it more. read more

A nice space with plenty of tables. I came in for a matcha as a sat to write some postcards while visiting Seattle. It had such a nice vibe to it. The latte was very nice! A good matcha flavor. read more

Grabbed an everything bagel and a cold brew before our Amtrak to Portland. The bagel was fresh and the cold brew was smooth. My partner got a white mocha latte and I don't remember exactly what he got for breakfast but he had no complaints. Service was quick, no nonsense, and the place was clean and had that classic Seattle coffeehouse feel without trying too hard. read more

What a great coffee shop! This was a quick walk from the train station and we needed a pre-trip coffee. Walking in the vibe is pretty relaxed. It's spacious and clean inside. The line was quick and the team was super friendly and helpful. The coffees were delicious! Perfect temp and flavor. I also got an apple turnover. It was baked well, bursting with gooey filling! Just the right level of sweet! Great location, great service, great food and coffee!!! read more

We found ourselves hungry after attending an event near by and found this cafe!They were prompt in helping us, took our order and got or sandwiches as we paid! Our coffee took about 15 minutes to come out, not sure why it took so long. Over all it was fine, I can't stay I would go out of my way to come back here though. read more

Expensive? Yes. Delicious? Also yes. The coffee and food are both amazing and the service is second to none... Highly recommend this location and I really really love the ambience of this coffee shop. It's very close to my work and I love that it feels chill and there is also a little free library inside, which is very nice if you wanna grab something to read while you're sipping your coffee, but you didn't bring your own book. I will keep coming back, which for me is the marker of a great place, when I want to return, even though I have other options - which of course in Seattle, you have many lol read more

Best blueberry scone I have ever had. It was HUGE too! My latte was on point, vibe is chill, stickers were sick.... This place is right up my alley. If I lived in Seattle I'd be here every day. Line was long but the wait was worth it. I'll be back on my next trip for sure. read more

This place has been here for a while, a Seattle old timer. Glad Zeitgeist is open at 6am, at times I do need to come by this area earlier in the morning for work. It's at the corner of 2nd & Jackson in P-Square, not far from King Street Station. It's a good sized cafe to work from or take a mid-day coffee break. The line can get long just before core working hours but the staff do what they can to get your order up. The standard Vanilla Latte is pretty good, I enjoyed it very much and thank you for the heart shape art on the crema/foam. Staff was friendly in the morning, took only a few mins to get my coffee and I was on my way. Prices are ok in my book. They do offer breakfast and lunch food items, or if you want some pastries. Overall, glad to have come by, will probably be back next week. read more

Given the other reviews, I was excited to try this place on a cold day, but I found the Americano was just ok and way over priced. Their shortbread cookie was delicious though. The interior was lovely, and the staff were nice, but the coffee was underwhelming for the prices. read more

I was in Pioneer Square a bit early for a meeting and needed a place to hang out for a while, so I stopped by Zeitgeist Coffee. It was around 4 PM on a Monday, and the place wasn't too busy. Ordering was easy and quick, and I got my drink in no time. I only ordered an espresso drink on this visit, but they also sell some delicious looking pastries. The space is large and open, with plenty of tables of all sizes and lots of available seating. The atmosphere was really comfortable, and the vibe was relaxed. A few people were working or studying on laptops, but it wasn't loud or distracting. There are some nice, clean bathrooms in the back. You'll need to ask for the door code at the counter. Overall, I had a great experience here and would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Great vibe and cool interior. The line was somewhat long with multiple people waiting, but we were served quickly. Lisa, the owner, and the rest of the team are relaxed but still very professional and accommodating. There is a good variety of sweet and savory options to choose from, and the team behind the counter offer great suggestions. Do I want my sandwich toasted? Hell yeah! Sooo glad I did. My latte had a rich flavor and just delicious. The sandwich was expertly toasted and the side salad consisted of a variety of greens with a yummy dressing. My friend had the sandwich with coppa and swooned. We liked it so much we returned the next day for the excellent coffee. This time I selected an orange and current scone. It was perfectly baked, plump currents, and the scone had the correct texture. Too often what is touted to be a scone is really just a muffin top - this was legit. What makes the place even more cozy is the owner remembered our conversation from the previous day and came over to chat - even remembered our names. Terrific hospitality. Great spot - we'll be back! read more

A short stroll from the International District, Union and King Street transit stations, Pioneer Square and the revamped waterfront, this is the perfect chill spot. Coffee for tourists, delectable pastries and breakfast items all day make your dining experience special. However, the standout is the artsy vibe, retro setting and diversity - both patrons and staff alike. Oh yeah, no Starbucks in the area, which is a good thing for the business...and you. Cheers! read more

Yummy!! I got the maple oat latte in their medium. Way over priced one dollar for an added syrup and an extra dollar for alt. milk... but it was really good... but you only get one shot if espresso in their medium as well. So unless you wanna add another dollar to your total for an added shot maybe reconsider if you want a lot of caffeine! I'm a tourist so I can indulge in a couple during me stay hehehe. Good vibes very LGBTQ+ friendly totally recommend if you can drop a few bucks! read more

This spot seems busy no matter what time of day you go so be prepared to wait in line and hunt for a seat. The lighting is ok but not great on a cloudy day (unless you can snag a window spot), so this wasn't my favorite ambiance for reading or working. The service was friendly and efficient, and my hemp milk matcha was pretty good, but it had quite a few clumps of unstirred, dry matcha powder at the bottom. The scone from macrina was good and they warmed it for me which was lovely. Any bakery or sandwiches are pre-made so be prepared that you can't customize toppings if you have any dietary needs. Overall it was a good spot if you want a quick meal or drink or if you'd like to chat with a friend. read more

Enjoyable space - Tasty drip coffee - Cool location downtown Came here to get some work done, lots of space to choose from and the coffee was plenty good. A little noisy even with the AirPods in but enjoyed the space with the high ceilings and large windows. Most Seattle coffee is pretty pricy, this place was reasonably priced and well brewed. Parking isn't great, luck of the draw around the block. You're close to some yummy food spots! read more

Zeitgeist Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have a bit of layover time on a bus-train connection in Seattle and just enjoyed a lovely hemp milk chai here. It was spicy and only subtly sweet. The baristas were so nice and blew through a long line quickly. The interior has plenty of seating, is clean, and the aesthetic is very appealing mix of industrial with wooden furniture and beams; it suits the neighbourhood. There's a Little Free Library inside. The pastries looked so good, I wish I hadn't eaten already this morning so I could try one! read more

It was a cozy location for a fall day and close to the train station for some early morning fuel before heading out. The drip coffee was boiling hot and tasted like something from a fast food chain. I did get the blueberry bar and it was really good, but there were multiple flies in the pastry box... read more

I came here spontaneously because it looked really cozy inside (look how cute the brick and artwork is)! I didn't look close enough when I was here, but I realized in my pictures that there's a little free library! It's such a cute touch to the cafe, and I do think you could get good reading/ studying done here. It wasn't too busy, but I also came on a Monday an hour or two before closing. The cashier was really friendly and drinks were made fast! I ended up getting the jam cornbread and an 8oz chai latte ($8 total). Honestly they were both very mid, I think my chai could have been more flavorful. I probably won't come here again, it was just okay. But it is spacious and a good place to chat with a friend if you're in the area! read more

Zeitgeist Coffee opens early at 6am, which is perfect for morning people like me. I was pleasantly surprised to find free street parking nearby, making the visit even more convenient. The interior is spacious and filled with an eclectic mix of decor. There is plenty to look at, but nothing felt out of place or overwhelming. While I usually don't focus on design, the atmosphere felt natural and curated in a calming way. The coffee was exceptional, definitely worth the trip into the city. As someone coming from the suburbs, I found joy in simply sitting by the window and people watching. It added to the overall experience. It's a place where you can relax, enjoy your drink, and soak in the energy of the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back for both the coffee and the ambiance. JY review read more

My partner and I love this place so much we've parked nearby, walked here, and took our scooters here. The cafe is pretty large with plenty of seating. Beautiful interior art and brick interior. I am very particular with drip coffee and this is the place to enjoy a drip or any type of coffee drink. The baristas are super friendly and eclectic, it's make each experience more enjoyable. read more

Delicious egg and tofu sandwich and coffee. Lovely, warm ambiance. Would be there every day, if I lived jn Seattle. Fast service.

Really freaking good coffee. Zeitgeist Coffee has become my regular coffee spot before going into the office as the coffee is bold and dark roasted, staff is always friendly and the space is inviting and welcoming. For the best coffee in Pioneer Square and probably, one of the best coffee spots in Seattle, visit Zeitgeist Coffee. Zeitgeist Coffee has the usual offerings that you'd find at any coffee shop, but if you're a drip coffee person and just want to wake the heck up because you have a meeting in 15 minutes, this is the coffee that'll do just that. And it's good. The drip is my usual, but because of the quality of the coffee served here, any coffee drink from here will do. But if coffee isn't your thing, they have teas, along with pastries from Macrina Bakery, sandwiches and some refrigerated items for takeout, like yogurt, salads, etc. Most people come here in the morning for takeout, including moi, but the space is nice and large for groups. There's even a free library for books to donate and take, along with newspapers for sale. Start a punch card if you're a regular, which I am becoming. I ain't mad about it either. See you bright and early. read more

l had a really bad time booking a very unreliable bus trip from Spokane to Olympia last October. I finally arrived sleepy eyed on Amtrak instead at their south Seattle Station for a short stopover, and across the street was the Zeitgeist shop. The sweet and savory fare, great coffee, and special vibe there would make this a regular stop for me the next time I get near there again. It was also the highlight of that train ride. I highly recommend this place! read more

Walking in, you are greeted with what I can best describe has historic and homey interiors. Just the atmosphere itself made me want to stay for hours. Drinks wise, the coffee was superb. We ordered both the white and dark mocha, I preferred the dark mocha, breve, and the drip coffee. All of which curved our need for caffeine read more

Walked inside to caffeinate With a menu offering many options, how great! Ordered an iced matcha and Americana to-go, Matcha at first sip, I realized is more than just show.
