Broadcast Coffee

We came here 1/21/23 around 8:45am to grab a quick bite to kill some time. The barista who took our order was not friendly AT ALL. You could tell he did not want to be there. After receiving our pastries, we sat down in a small corner and I ended up needing to take a quick phone call. There was a quick moment where I needed to put the call on speaker so I could hear better. The male barista proceeded to scream at us from ACROSS THE CAFE to turn off our speaker setting in front of a bunch of people/customer. Regardless of how loud it was, it could’ve been handled differently. The male barista could have approached us privately or simply could have just waited patiently as the call lasted no more than 25 seconds. Aside from it being completely humiliating, yelling at someone to turn something down is beyond rude. I used to work in a cafe as well and I can not ever imagine yelling at one of our customers to lower the volume of their phone call in a cafe full of people.

REMINDER BEFORE YOU YELL AT SOMEONE WHO HAS THEIR SPEAKERPHONE ON: You don’t know what that person is dealing with or the type of disabilities they may have that may prevent them from hearing well.

Very good place to sit and work. Their coffee is amazing too. Free WiFi is provided for 2 hrs, c'mon, why.. it's just WiFi. Every other place have free WiFi, why do you have to restrict it. Taking one star out because of it, otherwise it is perfect place to hang out and even spend some alone time here.

This place has excellent coffee and a super chill vibe. It’s spacious with plenty of tables, the perfect place to do work or study. The food is good too!

Seattle is obviously famous for coffee and there's lots of cool independent shops and when i walk past one I always think "is their coffee any different what you'd get at 90% of the other cool independent coffee shops, or Starbucks for that matter?" And this is definitely in that 10% special place where you go specifically because the of the coffee. But everything else is also good and it's also 2 bucks for a cup which is pretty good imo especially considering the quality.

My favorite spot for a macchiato after yoga. Broadcast’s espresso is quite smooth and served with a small mineral water as it should.

Stylish/modern coffee shop, large space with plenty of tables perfect to get some work done. If only the AC wouldn't be set to full blast this would be a five star place. My friend warned me about how cold it is in there, and I have to agree. I am shivering in my hoodie, hands and feet are ice cold.

No pour over, but great single origin drip, and espresso. Good for co working, wifi pw on counter

A fairly chill place. The espresso is excellent. The service is decent, if a little unfocused. There are some pastries and burritos for food options and they are all good.

I really enjoyed this dog friendly quiet coffee shop in the Roosevelt neighborhood. They didn't have soy milk and the barista suggested almond milk which was yummy! It was a chilly day and this place was super cozy!

Broadcast is my favorite coffee shop in the area. They offer a nice selection of coffees to chose from, for drip and espresso, including rotating single-origin beans. All of the staff make great drinks and are very attentive to any modifications or special requests.

During the (currently ongoing) COVID pandemic, the staff has done extremely well to redesign the layout of the shop to keep things safe for all. When spaces can be full of people, Broadcast is a great place to be. The atmosphere is welcoming and the space is bright and airy; a nice, calm space.

Seriously cannot recommend Broadcast highly enough.
