Asano YagiMarch 14, 2014Cute and clean atmosphere. The staff there were really nice and suggested the chocolate molasses (I recommend as well !) a good place for catching up with old friends or getting some work done.
David BanNovember 20, 2014Solid coffee, friendly staff and a nice open space for catching up on emails. Check out their other Seattle locations, too.
Victrola Cafe and Roastery on East Pike Street is home to some of Seattle's serious espresso and coffee roasters. Stop in Wednesdays to participate in cupping tastings or drop in for an americano. Read more
Jorge VillalobosJanuary 20, 2019Drip coffee is nice to have casually when u feel like it, but try out their different hand brew offerings¡¡ also the place is comfy and not as crowded so u can even read comfortably
Ashley GilesNovember 5, 2022Once you get over the slightly weird smell of the place, it’s a good spot with nice coffee and fast wifi. Great if you want to avoid giving Starbucks any money.
Anand DharanAugust 27, 2022Pro tip, skip the tourist lines at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery next door and come here instead. Local, independent roastery with outstanding brewed and espresso beverages
Kaitlin MartineauAugust 11, 2016The lattes and latte art meet my desire for a great latte :) they have Kumbucha on tap and id recommend getting a scone in the morning, before they run out!
In addition to fantastic coffee, they have serious industrial grade air conditioning. Like standing in front of a blast chiller. Come and enjoy the cool on hot days!- Lloyd BagtasJuly 27, 2015Loved my chai tea latte and they have a super tasty espresso shot. They space is inviting and is one of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle.
Andrew ChoiJanuary 8, 2015Awesome espresso in a great neighborhood. Relax and do work here to avoid the Starbucks tourist destination nearby.
Patricia LeeJuly 25, 2015Fast wifi, lots of open space, friendly staff. A great place to park yourself and work for the afternoon.
Rachel EubanksMarch 9, 2014Amazing. Delicious coffee, non-pretentious. Crazy kind baristas (who gave me a free espresso shot and advice for travelers)! A specialty coffee lover's must.- Always good French pressed coffee, and the milk in the lattes is frothed to perfection. The squash bread in the pastry case is a muuuuust.
Admitting it, best specialty coffee shop on Capitol Hill. Great beans, always good baristas, wide open indoors and even some outdoor seating. :-)
Nerijus PudziuvelisOctober 31, 2018How people understand coffee beverages: I ask for Flat White they suggest Latte, I said - alright, but can you add aditional shot of espresso? They insistef macchiato as an equal option. It was not.
Isa BellaOctober 9, 2015One of the premium coffee places of the city they realize if you are little demanding :)
- MargotMay 28, 2015Coconut macaroons on point. Fan aims directly at in the seat on the right side 2 away from the window, avoid if you don't want to freeze.
Kimberly HuestisSeptember 4, 2013great coffee, good people, and outlets! also, biscotti was great. not too sweet.
First rate coffee, latte/mocha artistry and a very friendly staff. Great music and atmosphere too. I can't say enough good about this place. :)
Great coffee and baked goods. They roast their beans in shop so sometimes you can check out the action
They know how to make good coffee! (...and no, they didn't respond with "oh sure, a latte" when I asked if they make flat whites).
zfelsDecember 28, 2014I love Victrola. But if it's super busy and you're looking to get a bit of work done, head over to the equally high-caliber Broadcast Coffee a couple blocks away.
Joanna FlammOctober 28, 2013Great place to grab a fancy coffee and read a book. Warning: all of the male customers look like architects.
Nora LMarch 19, 2012Super large tables, great coffee and tea selection, lots of plugs for laptops, perfect to meet up w/friends or work! love it :)
Niall SmartAugust 15, 2012Best place to get a real Cappuccino – not it's milky, under-caffeinated US cousin. Order it as a "traditional cappuccino".
Spencer SorrellNovember 16, 2015In all my years, never have I been served a pour over (Ethiopia Sidama) in a 12oz cup with 2+ inches of room...of course I didn't want cream either. MP was $5.61.
good coffee and baristas, check out downstairs for roaster and cupping sessions
Arthur MitchellOctober 6, 2012Just a stones throw from the convention center. What Victrola lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in flavorful coffee and tasty cafe foods.
One of the baristas set a timer so I'd remember to stop steeping my tea. Much appreciated!
Tao JasonNovember 18, 2016Try the macchiato here. Super rich in flavor and awaken ones from sleepy mood.
Matt HealyOctober 30, 2013Gluten-free chocolate chip cookie is a surprise secret highlight of the bakery case.
Virginie VerhoevenMay 9, 2016Great place to escape to for coffee when having a conference at the convention center!
Carl FigueiredoFebruary 26, 2015Great roasting program. A little too many people on MacBooks in there for my taste though.
Gregg TNovember 19, 2014Pretty neat place. They serve coffee, pour overs, coffee drinks, beer and kombucha.
Free "refill". After you finish your first drink, bring your cup to the counter for a free house French press!
Irene MSeptember 6, 2012My favorite espresso in NYC hands down is 9th Street Espresso. You know where the founders of 9SE learned how to pull shots? At fucking Victrola, biatch.
Robert HigaSeptember 1, 2010The yogurt parfait is really good. So are the juices. The scones still taste good a day old half off. Oh yeah and the coffee is excellent.
Creamy capuccino. All baristas know how to pull a perfect espresso.
