    Matcha latte

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    8oz vanilla latte.

    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.

    Dark mocha

    Love this place! Spacious interior, friendly staff, great drinks and cafe food. My two fav things are the morning glory muffin (carrot cake in a muffin) & dark mocha (chocolatey goodness with their in-house espresso whip cream on top!)

    Savanna M.

    Such a cute little spot on the corner! Friendly staff, strong coffee and lots of different food or bakery options to choose from.

    Nice, cozy coffee shop in Seattle. Service was great and we got our coffee quick. There was plenty of seating when we went on Sunday morning. Although we didn't get any, the pastries looked delicious!

    The interior

    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!

    Visiting Seattle for the first time and having that first sip of coffee here at zeitgeist is amazing. The coffee is fresh and tasty. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming. They allowed me to takThe enchanting ambience captivates my soul, compelling me to return every single morning. The music, which I absolutely adore, adds an exquisite touch to the experience. Thank you so much! Thank you

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

What I really loved is that the matcha isn't overwhelmed by milk. The tea itself is the star, giving it a rich, balanced flavor that really shines through. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also loved the cute décor and drinkware--it adds to the overall experience. During my visits, I tried the banana pudding matcha, the sesame foam Vietnamese coffee, and the hojicha. Everything was excellent, and I'd happily order any of them again. They also offer a small selection of bites to pair with your drink. I didn't try any myself, but my friend enjoyed what they ordered. Seating is limited, especially on weekends, but it's also the perfect place to grab a drink to go. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it to any matcha lover.

We ordered the matcha banana pudding and hojicha ginger tofu pudding lattes. Service took ~10 mins. The matcha banana pudding was yummy. The matcha was of good quality and the banana pudding top was a smooth, cream top that tasted just like banana pudding, with a fun crunch in the topping. The hojicha ginger tofu was a bit more adventurous in flavor. The ginger and tofu messed with my brain and made it feel like I was drinking a savory asian sauce/soup, but the drink was still sweet. I kept sipping, but the strange savory/sweet limbo never really balanced correctly to truly enjoy the drink. On the plus side, the silken tofu was fun to sip through the straw and added some protein. There is seating indoors, but the tables can fill up quickly. Some people were wfh, but most were chatting. There is 1 hr complimentary WiFi. Typical Seattle street parking. Overall, the latte flavors were fun to try and it was an aesthetic cafe. But, the prices for the lattes make them more of a novel, hyped up purchase.

So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options. They are pre-made mixes They have food but nothing vegan so if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, you're out of luck. The pastries look gross.

Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
