Decaf is delicious and the people are nice and chill
Great coffee. no parking. Crazy busy on sundays.
I hate that they don’t respect the closing hours. This is the second time where I’ve got my coffee and my late lunch and I started working in my stuff and all of a sudden just hear the announcement that they are closing 2 hours earlier, just because. I really hate that seattle is losing its coffee culture and this place is clearly contributing to it’s decadence.
The green tea is really good but the cappuccino did not taste good. It was sour. Bad milk? Problem with the coffee or the machine? Don't know. Maybe they had a bad day. I'm from out of town so the opinion of a regular should carry more weight. Also, tell them your order is "for here" to avoid getting a paper cup. Twice they didn't ask "for here or to go".
Coffee is ok. But what is it with the $1.5 OAT MILK in a 6oz cappuccino cup! This is not an honest establishment. You cannot charge $1.5 for oat milk. Max should be $1. It is not 5 years ago when Oat Milk first came out. Stop acting like you are not aware of this. $8 for a 6oz oat latte does not make sense!
Nice little coffee shop. Enjoyed a great Cortado with almond milk
Good lattes and cocoa! Oat milk available.
Great coffee and nice atmosphere. Can be tough to always find space inside so be prepared to go with the flow, but kind service and great drinks! Also nice to take home a bag of beans, and the mug selection is very cool as well.
Solid place, decent coffee. That being said, since being taken over by Victrola it's hard not to notice two things: 1) Complete staff turnover. I don't think anyone from the "old" BCW is still there. 2) Prices have gone up, but tipping has returned. Under the old owners, BCW charged higher prices than other area coffee shops, but did not have tips, preferring instead to pay its workers a living wage. I'm not sure what the new owners are paying, but I observe that prices have gone up (from their previously elevated levels) and that tipping has returned.
Replace your plastic straws wrapped in plastic for linguine for stir sticks!
Let down for the last time. I stop in somewhat regularly when at the Sunday Farmers Market and are familiar with their coffee. I ordered a shot in the dark and was met with confusion, so I ended up ordering a 16oz americano instead. When they gave me the drink it looked like weak tea. I then asked how many shots are in the americano and they said two. No way that is possible as my drink literally looked and tasted like tea. Brought the drink back to the counter and told the staff that this didn’t seem right and handed the drink back to them. I showed them the drink of which they didn’t say anything or ask if they could do anything, but the look on her face showed that the drink was not how it should be. Close to $10 later (after being charged for both drinks even though I let them know the americano wasn’t correct) I was left with a less than stellar customer service experience, as well as subpar coffee. Can’t say I will go back or promote their shop as they seem to be more concerned with looking cool and less about the service and execution of their drinks.
The staff are well educated on their products and coffee/espresso in general. The coffee is really high quality. And always delicious!
Perfect place to get some work done or quick pit stop while walking around downtown Ballard for some good coffee, tea, or pastries. Part of the Seattle Coffee Works chain.
I liked the chill vibe of the cafe and customer service. But the hot mocha coffee I ordered was almost cold.
Lovely vibe and tasty coffee.
Great coffee. We enjoyed the standing table. It was easy to gather and chat.
just came here to say that I don’t think it’s okay to charge an extra $1.25 for oat milk. everything else was fine
This is a great place to have a coffee and work, they have free WIFI and space for your laptop. Their coffee is great, I had the Drip coffee and you could tell they had Ethiopian beans in there.
I miss the cozier Tully's with the fireplace that used to be here, but the coffee is good, and there are outlets and wifi.
Cool spot and a friendly staff. A good sense of community and an overall good neighborhood coffee shop.
