Was gifted some beans, and they were very, very, very bad and sour. Im sorry. The gift was really a nice thought. And the packaging was nice. They seem to be great in person based on the other reviews here. Maybe the gifted beans were old or went bad or something. Either way, would not get more. Sorry :(

Cute nice neighborhood cafe. Their cruffin is also so yummy! And not too sweet. Will revisit for other item!

Prompt service, friendly staff, well designed interior, and good food/beverages. Bonus points for not accepting tips. One complaint, the cashier didnt ask me the size of my drink, so I was quite disappointed when my Cappuccino arrived in a eco-friendly sippy cup fitting a toddler. It lasted all of two minutes and a few blocks before completely vanishing into my stomach. Not quite enough to satisfy my coffee cravings.

Love this place. Great drink selection, interesting and sometimes complex flavors. Baristas were friendly, and fast. Cute and comfy little location. Excellent baked goods, I would definitely recommend.

Well-stocked bakery case, impeccable covid safety protocol, and most importantly, friendly baristas who are willing to be patient and kind and offer me a sip of sanity and real life human interaction. Thank you so much, humans of broadcast!

I came to Broadcast coffee to buy whole bean coffee for my apartment. After surveying the many options, I decided on the Peru - La Tierra. As I was being rung up, the barista seemed ambivalent about helping me, at best. I understand they may have been having a bad day, but this experience became memorable for the wrong reason. That said, the coffee was very fresh and roasted the day before (2/21). I brewed it after returning home and, while still a little too soon off roast for me, it was a great cup of coffee.

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

Broadcast Coffee has by far the best coffee taste compared to all other coffees in the region. Its easy to quickly pop in and get a coffee without any trouble. You dont need to add something to a latte, because the taste of coffee speaks for itself.

One of my favorite coffee places in Seattle. They have a great selection of espresso drinks and bakery items. I just noticed they have growlers of Masala Chai which looked super interesting.Would definitely recommend going here.

Peaceful coffee shop next to Pratt park so great place to take kids as well. Coffee is on point and so is the pastry selection. My mocha was a bit on the cold side but they were more than happy to fix that. I opted to warm it in the microwave in the store instead, no big deal. Street parking is usually available. Make a good meet up spot or business meeting.

So delicious. Amazing coffee. Cozy and quiet space to start your day or spend a few hours working remote. A typical Seattle-style coffeeshop atmosphere. Low-tourist / high-local appeal. The mini tacos are a perfect quick breakfast with green tomatillo salsa. 👍

Good coffee. Great pastries. Good environment. Service varies from great to the typical maudlin barista suffering from depression and self-grandeur. Recently mostly the latter. Often smells of wet dog, but hey it rains in Seattle and DOGS, well they are everywhere and dont we love em!

Review №43

I’ve been here a few times and really tried to like it because it’s close to where I live. The baristas can be a bit snotty, but that wasn’t enough to bother me. What keeps me from going back is the homeless people who are allowed to come in and try to get people to move out of their seats. Last time I was in there a homeless man mumbling to himself stood at my table for a few minutes and was waiting for me to leave while I was sitting there with my coffee, food and backpack trying to enjoy a quick meal. He wouldn’t leave and the staff didn’t seem to care. For the amount they charge for their drinks and food, I should expect to not be bothered while I enjoy them. It’s a shame, it’s a very pretty space with lots of natural light and it’s relatively quiet. I haven’t gone back since and don’t plant to.

Nice, relaxing, peaceful coffee shop. Breakfast sandwich and almond milk latte was good. Enjoyed the view people watching over breakfast. Seattle life is much different than Southern IL, Western KY.

Love the windows at this coffeehouse. Lots of light streaming in even on a gray day. Its a great spot to be productive. Quite busy throughout the day but Ive always found a seat. The jalapeno cheddar bagel is great. I know its just a bagel but I could see actual slices of jalapeno baked into it! Amazing! They sell locally made pastries, sandwiches, and burritos. My fave tea of all time, maybe, is their Cold Buster blend.

Really cozy place in a great location. Great place to grab a coffee or latte and then go for a walk in the park after!Food and beverages served are much more authentic than the commercialized Starbucks drinks. They also do a good job accommodating customers that wish to order something off the menu.

I love this coffee shop. Great coffee. Better coffee than Starbucks. I dont have a complicated order, but do ask for it extra hot. The baristas here are happy to accommodate. And try the pistachio croissant - very yummy!

Review №54

Bitter coffee taste, so if thats your thing (as opposed to more smokey coffees) then youll like the coffee. No comfy chairs, so this is more of a place to meet someone for work or to go alone and get things done. There are a few chairs outside, with no tables, so if its nice there are places to enjoy the weather.

Review №55

Love the working atmosphere and plenty of workspace. The people were nice and my bf latte was great. My tea latte was pretty bland and not worth $4 but the area was quiet and I got a lot of work done. Might go back and just stick to coffee.

Review №57

This is a great neighborhood coffee shop if you’re in the Central District. They roast their own beans and the coffee is excellent. This place really is coffee first—less of a destination for snacks and treats. The proximity to Pratt park makes for a great stroll with your coffee if the weather permits.

Review №59

This place is usually busy and it can be a task finding street parking. Theyre friendly and informative regarding their coffee. Negatives: no blender for cold drink options. Positives: the latte.Pratt Park is right across the street which gives another seating option on nicer summer days at least.

Review №64

Coffee is great, baristas are great, atmosphere is a very social place which many ppl seem tend to use as a study hall. Love the spacious middle island bar type seating. A few spots for 1-2 person seating outside is nice for a smoke or quiet break from busy atmosphere. My only complaint was it was always a bit cold in there...drafty, (Between 4-7pm) and nearby neighborhood is questionable.

The lovely walk in the park across the way made my Chuck Taylor blue star shoes ready for the experience of The Broadcast. The floor had a great exposed concrete feel, super earthy that centered my Chi. The barista just knew what I wanted prior, ESP? 6 stars if I could.

Hipster coffee house. Organic choices and teas. A few sandwiches before they sell out in for morning. Great to go for coffee, tea, a few local canned beers, pastries and work on your small projects.

Has cold brew coffee. However, services are mostly friendly and nice for regulars who come there often. I was in town visiting friends who are living around the area. I stopped by to get a cold brew coffee on 7/24/18 around 6:38 a.m. or so . As I was paying for my roasted Turkey sandwich, a bagel and coffee, I forgot to mention no ice for my cold brew when I ordered, when I saw the lady pouring coffee in the cup, I was the only customer there in line and no one was waiting in line behind me, I immediately said: Im sorry. I forgot to say no ice please.Good grief. She turned around, stared piercing right into my eyes, froze with a pitcher in one hand and a half cup filled with cold brew coffee in the other hand, her face and jaws clinched, turned kinda mildly red orange, swiftly and angrily turned around headed into the back and pour out the coffee, turned back pour in cold brew coffee without ice, put it on the counter. I said: Thank you. She turned and walked away to the right, and did not say a word or even a smile.WOW. This is July 2018. If Seattle is in a winter cold month, July 2018 heat waves would be happening with this kind of service. Id would endure suffering caffeine withdraw symptoms than to get a cup of coffee from this place.It happened on 7/24/18. I edited to have the correct date after looking at my email receipt. Adding that the total of my bill was $15.25.

They got rid of a lot of their vegan options and replaced it with some soy filled premade burritos. Those are fine, but not as an only option. I used to love this place and now I rarely frequent it because I cant eat anything there.

Good coffee, served in a small ceramic cup, along with a glass of sparkling water, both on a wooden stand. European style, with attentoon to details.Also, the shop assistant was very nice and curteous. When she closed the shop, she gave out the remaining pastries for free, and allowed us to stay inside beyond closing time.

Server Acted kind of stuck up. He didnt listen when I asked if sandwich was on my total. Perhaps the music was up to loud for him. When I told the. Lady about it. He said he asked I didnt reply. Like I mentioned. He seemed to disregard my nod & verbal yes. Not sure why heating my sandwich took longer that the 5 people behind me. Coffee had a strange taste also. Unsure what type of milk was used.
