This small and hip coffee shop in Ballard is a neighborhood gem. During my visit, Gabriel the barista is really nice and friendly and he made a great cup of latte.Besides coffee, pastry and other beverages, the shop also carries a wide selection of (natural) wines with taste notes on many of them, it looks like a great place to pick up a bottle for any occasions.There is a small but charming indoor seating area at the back of the store and a larger outdoor patio on Ballard Ave.

Great coffee and wine store in Ballard! Friendly service and a wine club you can join. Great indoor seating as well!

This place was a favorite of mine when in Ballard. Coffee was excellent made and coffee drinks were delicious and well crafted. Over the years, the quality has dropped. Pastries and coffee beans are still good for purchase to drink and eat at home. The coffee drinks, however, are not that good anymore. Last time I was here, ordered cappuccino. It was 20%coffee and 80% burned foam. I asked to get a new drink and the employee just scoffed at me. Not much of a problem with the employee, people have good and bad days but the coffee drinks quality has not been there.

Totally fantastic and delightful local coffee shop. We flew into Seattle for a meeting not far from Anchored Ship and we were delighted by their friendly staff, excellent service, and quality drinks.This was a particularly interesting occasion because our visit was amidst the start of COVID19 Shelter In Place orders and all food/drink establishments were Take Out only. Thankfully it was a beautiful day to walk the empty streets.Were super appreciative of the fact that Anchored Ship has stayed open despite the current social and economic challenges. I was thrilled to be able to support them and look forward being able to visit them next time were in town for a meeting. Folks like these represent the best of small business America. Keep up the good work!

The barista on 9/6 was a incredibly rude. He stated yelling at us for lining up in front of the door. We were clearly there to work with all of our book bags and one of us spent time scoping out seats to work at. All the while he tells us exactly after weve paid that they limit indoor seating to 5 to 10 minutes.Cant speak about the drinks because we had such a bad taste in our mouth about the experience.

Super cute coffee shop in Ballard and they also have a great wine selection. Stop by and enjoy a coffee of choice, they have a cute outside seating area.

Nice selection. Excellent coffee.

Ive never had coffee like this before. Its not an Americano coffee, its almost like water. So, when I told the owner that the coffee taste was too thin, I only made an impression and didnt reply.

Peculiar coffee shop in the heart of Ballard. The layout is a little clunky as it appears to be an old house converted into a coffee shop. Not much they can do about that, but it still feels clunky. I didnt feel inclined to stay and hang out more than 15 mins. The shop ended up being pretty busy while I was there with a single barista, so the service was a bit slow. I ordered a Mocha and Hot Chocolate and both drinks were decent, but I dont think Id go back given all the options available.

Rude service— the quality of the coffee doesn’t matter after being scolded to step aside followed up with we can’t sit there for more than 5 mins (of course we weren’t told that until after ordering). I would find a nicer more positive coffee shop to go to next time.

It wasn’t really busy when I went and the barista that served me was really nice and informative about their drinks. The coffee was pretty good and wasn’t too sweet or too bitter. I’d come back again if I’m in the area.

Come for the coffee, stay for the amazing selection of Natural Wines! We always pick up a few bottles when we stop in for our caffeine fix.

Great service and delicious coffee. Hard to go wrong with visiting this coffee shop, especially if Rosie is working. Try the lavender chai!

My first time having a lavender oat milk latte, and i feel like i transcended. 10/10.

Comfy, friendly coffee house in Seattle’s absolute best walking neighborhood—old Ballard ave. Serving Coonter Culture roasted beans.

Great chai, nice space

Cant understand how to heat cold brew coffee. Then forgets the honey after telling me what experts they are at their business.

Very inviting corner coffee bistro in Ballard. Fresh good tasting drip coffee w fast friendly customer service. Room for 12 inside under covid restrictions... But still very accessible... Come here and enjoy the early morning peace while it lasts...

An adorable and inviting coffee shop. The upstairs is so cozy and the coffee is wonderful!

I tried once because I saw from the outside that they have cool and cozy place inside. The latte was average but the mocha was good I guess.

Fantastic coffee!! Perfectly pulled shots and steamed milk have put Anchored at the top of my list of favorite coffee shops in Ballard. The space is small and if theres a line youll be waiting outside, but the staff is quick and efficient so its rarely a long wait.

Good coffee in a funky spot. Avoid when the Ballard Market crowds are out...

Delightful little coffee bar with good vibes and great coffee. I’m a huge fan of the low ceiling nook upstairs above the bar. It’s not the most practical but it’s cozy.

Cute, small, personable. Unfortunately during COVID you really cant stay inside (too cramped) but theres covered seating outside. Baristas are charming and the coffee is very tasty, milk was perfectly steamed.Location is really a plus, you can stop in for a coffee and walk to so many local spots from here.

This place consistently provides great coffee and great customer service.

Lovely place with great coffee

Delicious light, sweet roast. Nice little upstairs area to work. Limited food options.

Cozy place to enjoy a latte.

The best ship-themed coffee bar in Ballard.

Best almond latte in the world, not just Seattle!

One of the best cafes in Seattle. Very cozy

Long wait and even longer line on Sunday (farmer s market day). Terrible drip coffee - very acidic. Corrado was served as an espresso shot and was mediocre.

Cozy little coffee shop right in the heart of downtown Ballard. Its a very small shop so its not great for large groups but perfect for a quick visit or getting in some study time. I especially enjoyed their upstairs area which was super cozy. The matcha latte was a big hit with our group.

Great little shop! Great whole bean selection too!

Great neighborhood coffee shop, now they have awesome wine!

Loved this coffee shop and their willingness to make me a very tiny latte to go

Excellent little coffee corner. Usually pretty good latte making and uses counter culture beans which to my taste is mostly solid third wave coffee.The back room is nice and subdued with tables for working, sitting studying, reading while the hidden little upstairs nook is more couches vibes and chats with friends.When I’m in Ballard I’ll often go here over say Cafe Umbria because the whole place just feels a bit more personable.

One of my favorites in Ballard

Cozy place. Friendly service. Delicious lattes. Love the oat milk! Ill be back.

Very good coffee and surprisingly fast service -for one or two baristas. Good customer service. Its a small space, but very pleasant.

They make such amazing lattes! I love the little loft up top, it’s so cute. And they have mizuba matcha which is soooo good! This is my go-to cafe whenever I want coffee in Ballard (which is very often, I work in the neighborhood)

Great coffee with emphasis on in house syrups. Had the Americano and was excellent balanced with not. Too much acidity.

Cool little coffee bar tucked into a small storefront in Ballard. It is quite cramped inside so be prepared to get jostled. Or better yet, sit outside for some fine people watching on Ballard ave. The coffee was pretty good though didnt really stand out. Staff was very friendly.

When you walk in it will seem tiny and crowded, but there are hidden seating options. Not a ton of options, but an upstairs balcony above the coffee bar and a slighted elevated area behind the coffee bar. Coffee was pretty good.

Great coffee, friendly people, bigger than it looks with a couple nooks. Be nice to them on Sundays, the farmers market crowd is intense.

They know the science of coffee down to the proper amount of dissolved solid of coffee necessary for a perfect cup. You can also get a quick cup to go. Coffee snobs will be happy here.

Cute coffee shop brewing Counter Culture, one of my favorite coffee companies!

I love it hereits changed within past 4 years, but not too much. its still a sweet place to chill. best spot is the original upstairs.. . perfect for hiding out to write/ space out/ whatevesThe staff are awesome!This was the first coffee shop I came to after moving here because of the vibe/ decor.. I say still the best cool coffee spot in ballard

Quaint coffee shop with counter culture coffee beans roasted in Durham, NC!

Love these guys. Locally owned shop with great coffee and snacks. Staff is always awesome. Check out their breakfast sandwiches.

Cute little coffee shop that fills up quickly.

Really good vibe, I liked the separated sections to sit. I got a cortado with some cinnamon syrup and it was damn good

Staff is very friendly and made me a great coffee, just by explaining my desires as a coffee novice. Well done.

This is a great local coffee shop with a wonderful little event area. Staff is great and the owner is amazing!

Great coffee and awesome little shop. Gabe was an phenomenal barista. Love this place and it’s my new spot for Ballard coffee!

Love it here! Great coffee, friendly atmosphere and service, nice big windows, yummy sandwiches. Def recommend! Thank you!

Solid coffee knowledge of the staff about brewing methods and their products, cozy atmosphere, especially the tiny upstairs section. View onto the (-who are we kidding- mostly rainy) streets of Ballard makes it a place you wanna stay at for a long time!

Nice place to grab coffee and get some homework done. Has that homely vibe that you cant find in coffee giants like starbucks. Wasnt too wowed by their coffee though.

Great little coffee shop. Their iced mocha was delicious!

Good atmosphere, nice employees, clean, and most importantly good coffee (Counter Culture is what they were pulling when I was there).

First time in a while I have experienced service as rude as I did here. I walked in, made brief eye contact with the barista behind the counter. It was completely dead in there. She looked at me and continued what she was doing - which was complain about her job to her coworker. I stood at the counter while she and her coworker continued to do that for about 30 seconds. Another employee approached the counter and I thought to myself - oh ok maybe shes on break and thats why shes been ignoring me. Nope, he looked me in the eye, took a sip from a water bottle he had under the counter and then walked away. I waited for another couple seconds and walked out. Maybe go somewhere that values costumers. Good coffee isnt hard to find in Seattle.

Great place to stop in for a quick coffee, esp during Sunday morning markets

I love the space, but I wish they didnt pull all of the shots for 4 drinks before steaming any of the milk. Paid $7 for a 12oz latte with a stale shot.

Mediocre Latte, great scones. Pretty cozy.

Great quaint coffee shop. Coffee taste great and very smooth. Had a mocha there and it was super yummy.

Super cozy environment with high quality beverages. I felt like I was at my own house here. 😄

Tight quarters but the upstairs is super cozy.

Pretty quiet on weekday mornings. Good for hanging out and having a moment.

Got to do better than this in a town with so many great coffee shop options. OK coffee, minimal food options, lackluster service. Just a good location, but much better options close by.

Amazing cappuccino and breakfast sandwiches. Good, quiet place to get some work done

One of my absolute favorite coffee shops in Ballard (and all of Seattle)

Great espresso (Counter Culture is so 💣), nice service, and decent pastry options. Its always a positive experience.

Very kind owner, warm atmosphere and good coffee.

Nice selection of Counter Culture beans and brews with great service. I had an oatmilk cortado and it was perfect. Cant wait to go back and try a spicy chai.

Just the right blend of fru-fru with lower Ballard grit to make it legit. Coffee is swell and service is fine.

Eclectic cafe with friendly staff. It is bigger than it appears on the outside

They know how to actually make a great espresso here.The breakfast sandwiches are great too!

The lavendar chia tea is AMAZING! The atmosphere is very nice and relaxed

Lovely little spot for a coffee in Ballard. Staff here are always friendly, and they make good espresso.The snacks are great, too - the Twix bars are soooooo yummy, with a thick layer of caramel and buttery shortbread.Some notes of caution - seating can be difficult to find, due to the quirky layout of the café; and the coffee has a strong licorice flavour, which is not to everyones taste (and can spoil a mocha).

I really liked the food here, and it has very cozy vibe. However, the coffee was pretty overpriced for what you get (self-pour pot coffee) and definitely wasnt worth it.

The coffee is very fresh and the staffs are nice

Excellent iced Chai, delicious breakfast sandwiches, good pastry selection and great service.

My favorite coffee spot in Ballard. Great coffee and a really cool atmosphere

This shop is so aesthetically pleasing.

Cool lil place

Nice folks--yummy drinks and food. Go!

Trendy little hipster coffee bar. Very Ballard.

Great coffee shop, love their pastries.

Great staff with delicious coffee!

Pretty small, but a decent vibe

They have an Oat milk that tastes like the last bit of milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl.

The lavender chai... Amazing!

Cold service attitude, great coffee

Great coffee shop in a combined location.

Really good pastries and cappuccino

Cozy local coffee shop with great character and coffee

Got my coffee order wrong...twice. Coffee was not great.

Great place for coffee

Awesome coffee and cookies!

Very, very tiny and cramped but a pretty good cappuccino.
