Plenty of seating, fast service, good coffee (and cocoa for kids). Some nice tables and lights for coffee shop campers doing laptop work, but that’s not the vibe of the whole place. Very good pastereiss.

Arguably the best coffee in Seattle (Ive tried many). Love this place!

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.

I came in a minute after closing and still had the best service. The latte I got was so amazing! The foam was like a cloud. Definitely check this place out!

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!

Very good place to sit and work. Their coffee is amazing too. Free WiFi is provided for 2 hrs, cmon, why.. its 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.

Best coffee in Seattle! Drinks here always seem to be consistent and delicious. Friendly employees also help make for a great experience. WiFi requires a code given at the counter. Dog friendly as well!

Stylish/modern coffee shop, large space with plenty of tables perfect to get some work done. If only the AC wouldnt 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.

Great straight-to-the-point espresso drinks pair perfectly with the open seating area to make for the perfect spot to hunker down and work, read a book, or catch up with a friend.

Cleanest, safest place Ive been to since the pandemic. The lemon lavender cake is to die for, and the coffee is really good.

Starting my day with a #tinydonut in a simple, beautifully decorated coffee shop serving a good latte? Yes please. As a person who drives from client to client all day and thus frequents a LOT of coffee shops, its rare that I note one that Id want to come back to. This place makes the cut - nice!

Broadcast is awesome. They serve miniature Mighty O donuts that are delicious. They also have a table area in the back that reminds me of a college library - so good for getting work done. Friendly service and bright, open space. Two thumbs up

My husband and I have been to Broadcast Coffee a handful of times. We always get iced caramel & mocha lattes. They are consistently delicious! The polite staff has provided great service in a timely manner. The atmosphere seems relaxing, organized, & clean although weve only ordered drinks to go. They have doggie biscuits near the front door, so our dog loves to stop by on walks! If we lived closer we would go more often.

Review №24

Minimalist, wide open patterned space. Well decorated but feels a little formal. Lots of space for studying. I happen to like the tables with lamps built in; almost hipster library style on one end of the shop for working.Coffee is good but their espresso earthier than my preference.

I got a mezzo-mezzo and an americano and both tasted watered down and had no coffee flavor. Extremely disappointing.

Review №26

My favorite coffee place in all of Seattle. I wasnt a coffee person until this place. I also am not typically a person who likes chocolate orange flavor but their Borgia is to die for! All of the baristas are very welcoming and cute too!

Review №27

Good coffee drinks in a sparse modern setting. This is a popular spot in the Roosevelt neighborhood, especially on weekends, so you will have to wait a bit for your coffee. Its also a place where lots of people will bring their laptops for study or work, so you may also have trouble finding a place to sit. Despite that, its quiet, so you can sit here as a respite from the bustle of outside.

Review №28

Really delicious coffee in an awesome Roosevelt location. Its going to be perfect when the light rail station opens up! Love getting a coffee to go here on my commute. This is by far the best coffee -- only a couple blocks from my bus stop at the I-5 Park and Ride.

Awesome place to get work done (good horizontal surfaces, outlets, food & beverages) and hear really cool music like Cold Cave and similar recent Darkwave/New Wave (barely audibly, which is also good for getting work done)...also, the best coffee-for-coffee-haters Ive had to date: their caramello;four-hour street parking in front, too!

Review №33

Very quiet and relaxing coffee shop. Great place to get some work done with coffee that is delicious and well made. I recommend the borgia (mocha with orange zest) or the disco pony (iced coffee with cream, lemon zest and sparkling water, very refreshing!). They are dog friendly with a large jar of treats near the door.

I really enjoyed this dog friendly quiet coffee shop in the Roosevelt neighborhood. They didnt have soy milk and the barista suggested almond milk which was yummy! It was a chilly day and this place was super cozy!

Review №35

Trendy spot located in Roosevelt. Coffee is smooth and light. their roasters know their coffee. Ordered a skim traditional Capp to go - and for those who don’t know, it’s a 6oz cappuccino. They only carry 1% milk. My cup of coffee was very good, worth it. Side note - crowded in the mornings. Could improve their drip coffee ☕️

Re
Review №36

A classy coffee shop with a clean, modern vibe. They always have a GF/Vegan cookie option, which is awesome, as well as an excellent, high-quality tea menu. People tend to hang out there to work and read vs. socialize.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots for coffee. Great place to read, study, or catch up with friends. Come in the fall for homemade pumpkin spice syrup in your latte, you wont be sorry.

I love this place. Their espresso is always dialed in, and their single origins roasts are my favorite! The baristas are super cool and the space is very open and airy. They have a really good London fog too. Definitely check it out.

Review №43

Very tasteful minimalist aesthetic with lots of plants, brass accents, light colored wood taking advantage of all the natural sunlight. This is the place that people come with their laptops to get work done. The pour over offerings are always delicious and the presentation of their macchiatos is on point. For more creative drinks, you cant go wrong with their disco pony which is essentially a sparkling iced Americano. My only gripe is that the pour over coffee is no longer presented on the wooden tray in a glass flask with an accompanying glass of sparkling water. Now it is simply just served in a mug - still tasty of course, but it is the little things that contribute to an exceptional coffee experience.

I love Broadcast!! It’s one of my favorite cafes in Seattle. It has a great atmosphere and lovely baristas. You can find me there getting homework done or catching up with friends with an oat milk latte or matcha latte.

Review №48

I was definitely happy to discover a Northern outpost of Broadcast. (And, perhaps just as importantly, their beans.)It feels a bit more spacious and welcoming than the Cap Hill location, though it preserves the modern vibe -- basically, the location adds more seating, more tables, and more art.Service and quality never vary from fantastic, and incredibly patient when dealing with the post-hangover brunch crowd from Atlantic Crossing across the street.More or less the sort of place you wish was just a liiiiiittle closer to home.

I think that some coffee shops do a bad job of differentiating themselves. Not so with broadcast coffee. Tucked away in what could be considered the downtown of the Roosevelt neighborhood broadcast coffee is a modern coffee shop. Clean lines, hipsters working the counter (that is a positive they are all really cool), music playing that certainly isnt top 40 and oh yeah its right next door to a yoga studio.If you are just running in to grab a cup of coffee while on your way to Greenlake no worries they are dog friendly. If you are looking for a place to open your laptop they have plenty of seating and the place has plenty of natural light. And if you just want to taste some really good coffee or tea they certainly have that. The coffee here is really really smooth, not bitter at all.

Review №51

If this sort of high-class coffee is what the light rail is bringing to Roosevelt, I cant wait for the station to be done! As a 2-decade Roosevelt resident its a real pleasure to have a modern, efficient, tasty alternative to places Im now ashamed to say Ive tried repeatedly (i.e. the now-defunct Espresso Express, or even worse the still-decaying Bus-stop Espresso).

Br
Review №52

Coffee is good, tea is forgettable. Special place with the coolest interior. Modern, large tables and all amenities. Its an excellent place to study and work (outlets everywhere, large tables), but also doesnt easily become a laptop wasteland, the space tends to be shared by groups or friends talking.

Review №53

The good: Its a place to get work done. The wifi is fast and the tables with the built in lamps are great.The okay: The atmosphere and coffee is classier than other coffee shops.The bad: Its loud and the A/C is too cold.

Review №54

Great space in which to study but be aware that the AC is cranked and it gets super cold in there. Also, at the weekend you only get 2 hours wifi per purchase so don’t buy your drink and your snack at the same time if you’re there to study!

Expensive and no larger size that 16oz. Very basic menu and nothing unique about it to justify the unusually high price other than Seattle prices have gone insane for everything

Review №74

The cafe itself is spartan in its decor, but has strategically placed sound dampening panels so its not super echoey like similar locales. Even in an overcast day, its brightly lit by wall-to-wall windows. The interior lights are pleasant though a little low for people of my height (people 61 or taller should be on the lookout when sitting in The bench seating :P).Drip coffee is just ok, but I enjoy their cortados. Ill have to try a pour over next time I go.

Very rude staff. i was there with my boyfriend on a weekend, writing a job application. we ordered some drinks and some food. and we got one WIFI voucher for the two of us. When I asked for another one as we both wanted to use our laptop and phone, they were already a bit annoyed but gave it to me reluctantly. When the two hours were up and i needed WIFI for literally one more minute to send the application, they REFUSED to give us another voucher. I have never been to a cafe with such rude staff and where one can have internet for only a couple of hours. I do not recommend this place. the drinks and the food arent great either.

The coffee was some of my favorite in Seattle so far. The internet connection was abysmal though, I won’t come here often to work because of that.
