I got a latte and it was delicious. Great coffee and super nice barista!! The space is also super cute. Basically everything you'd want from a coffee shop. read more

I've lived a block away from Analog for over 2 years now and have been here many, many times. Often spending there all day working. It's not all perfect, sure - one power outlet, usually cold, and a few other minor annoyances. But aside from that, it's a wonderful place. True local, cozy feel. And of course, great coffee. It has honestly been one of my most favorite things about living in Capitol Hill. read more

Coffee: pretty good (4) Service: pretty good (4) Magazine selection and display: pretty good (4) Location: average (3) Crowdedness/atmosphere: tenuous (2) Furniture: hell to the naw (1) I left with multiple splinters. Don't use that long table in the back. This is not a place to chill on a Saturday in terms of electrical outlets, seating or space. It feels stuffed with about 15 people in the shop. read more

Yum! I went in to try their famous iced coffee that comes from a tap. It was so tasty, not your usual watered down hum drum iced coffee. I was disappointed that it was gone so quickly though! the 8oz size is really small since they put a lot of ice in their. They are located on the corner by a Convenience Store and easy to miss if you aren't looking for them. There isn't much seating, and it's not that comfortable. Not a place to spend a lot of time hanging out more a get your coffee and go type of feel. read more

Love this place! Great coffee, music, service. Grateful to live nearby in CoVID times. A++++

Awesome, truly third wave coffee in a cute shop with an excellent record selection. Serving Herkimer Coffee and yummy wee donuts this shop stands out amongst many shops with a more roasty, dark approach to coffee. This is my second trip here today. The cappuccino was excellent, and my Ethiopian pour over smells of herrys and joy. read more

Analog Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Was looking for a veggie sandwich for breakfast and found this. Ordered the extra spicy one with only mushrooms and it was amazing. Will be going there more often. read more

I was staying in a short suite nearby, while my apt was being renovated. Around the corner was Analog Coffee. I'd heard that it was a really progressive-oriented coffee shop. The first time I went in, it was pleasant and quick. I went in this morning, and two really snyde guys were behind the counter. The transaction was quick, but I noticed there were only lids for the small coffee cups. When I asked for a lid for the coffee, I was pointed across to a coffee station. I use a cane for balance issues, and spilled my coffee on me, rather than have it spill on the floor. When I turned around to leave, they'd put out the large lids. Analog Coffee, you are NOT progressive, you are RUDE and IGNORANT. I was hoping to support a progressive coffee shop, but clearly this is NOT the case. read more

A wide variety of ethically sourced and delicious single origin coffees run through this spot with some of the best stuff you've heard on wax playing all day long. Can't wait until they open up seating again so I can bask in the ambience. Definitely try their cold brew hibiscus tea too! read more

The coffee? F-ING PERFECT, almost every time. When they get newbies, sometimes it's a little less perfect, but I don't mind. They always get there. The dairy is spectacular quality. The music can vary greatly, but that's alright-- bring headphones if you're going to get some work done. The people are great, both employees and patrons. It's a nice spot to hang out a while. The only thing I can possibly negatively critique is the fact that they've had a single gluten free pastry item for two years (or more) now, and they get 2 of them each day. Analog, guys, PLEASE. The orange cranberry scone is tasty but I AM SO BORED OF IT-- plus, it's always sold out. C'mon. Gimme a doughnut, a rice krispy, a coffee cake! A cookie! Something. Please. Amp up the GF game. Please. Honestly, this is the best coffee shop in Seattle. Even if they can't get over their gluten free scone issues. read more

The coffee was good, but you can get good coffee in a lot of places in Seattle. The music they play is chill and dreamy and the interior is very bare bones with an L-shaped bar with stools near the window, large coffee table with magazines and benches, and a harvest table in the back; the exterior is completely unassuming. They sell Herkimer beans, which the drinks are made from, and an assortment of pastries at the counter. I settled on an 8 oz cold brew, which was bright and slightly bitter (not necessarily a bad thing, as I like a little bite in my iced coffees) and got some work done with the free wifi. It really just met my needs, nothing more or nothing less! read more

My #1 coffee spot. While I might be biased because I live within eyesight of it, Analog is solid, proximity withstanding. I'm happy its so close but its worth hitting up even if you're not. The long and short of it: 1. Coffee. Tasty. 2 bucks and change will get you a large drip and that's what I'm here for. I've also had a soy latte that was pretty good but 9 times out of 10 all I want is plain, black coffee and Analogs keeps me coming back. 2. Atmosphere. The real reason I'm here so often. Its cozy, not too big yet small enough to feel intimate. It's the prefect size to have a casual conversation or bust out the laptop and get some work (reddit) done. Seating includes outdoor chairs, sofas or bar seating facing out the window (great for zoning out when you're supposed to be getting stuff done). The music is always solid as well. 3. Food. A few pastries are available for snacking but I've never headed here with the goal of food. It always looks good though :) The Thomas Street Market is next door should the caffeine trigger your munchies as well. 4. Service. Upbeat, helpful and quick. I don't think I've ever been here and waited in line for more that 2-3 minutes, regardless of how long the line is. Much appreciated. 5. Price. Nothing expensive, solid for your neighborhood coffee shop. Analog is perfect for those rainy Seattle weekend days where the best option is to hole up with a book and a cup of coffee. Makes me feel cozy just thinking about it. Overall Grade: A read more

Good coffee. Low key and friendly. Very reasonable priced and good quality. Drip can be a bit stronger but fresh stuff.

Good for a quick coffee, really basic place. I rather go there than Starbucks, which is down the street. Not sure what they could do to better, but needs something. read more

Another uptight coffee house in Cap Hill. No indoor dining, limit to 4 people inside when ordering, music way too loud to hear baristas.

analog is already one of the greatest of all time but i went in today (10/18 around 5 pm) and the barista made arguably the best latte i've ever had?? i owe her my life now read more

One cup of joe from this fine establishment and you'll be hooked. :) The coffee is top notch, the music spot-on, and some friendly banter with Danny and Tim will always lift your spirits. I just can't say enough about how awesome this place is; yum yum gimme some. read more

My favorite little coffee spot on the hill, I've been going here since 2015 and love it's charm. Great staff and absolutely amazing coffee. Everytime I go it I feel welcomed and the vibe is on point. read more

The service here sucks. The staff short and wasn't friendly. Not a good study space. There's only one outlet and one person was using both plugs and wasn't willing to share. The blueberry scone was subpar and so was the latte I ordered. Nothing special. read more

On a cold New Year's Day, we decided to explore the neighbourhood after brunch at Coastal Kitchen. We were on the search for the coffee shop nearby. With the Yelp app and some research later, we discovered Analog Coffee was open. I love how it is tucked away on a corner. The walk there was quite pleasant; I admired all the beautiful character houses along the way. Our fingers and bodies were getting uncomfortably cold when I saw the wooden sign post: Analog Coffee. We had made it! The cafe is not too large, with simple decor and bench seating near the front window. Along the back wall are different sections of the day's newspaper- it's nice to see that they display it prominently, given today's digital world. There's also stacks of comic books for you to+ peruse while enjoying your beverage. We got two lattes, and a gluten free orange and cranberry scone to go with them. They serve a Herkimer Espresso blend, and I really enjoyed the flavour of our latte. The smooth milk wasn't overpowering, and I could really taste the coffee. Baristas are friendly, and the coffee is great here. Would return for sure! read more

Awesome cold brew, reasonable prices, a friendly staff, and around the corner from where I was staying - Analog gave me plenty of reasons to fall in love. When visiting Seattle, I tried to make it a point to try out as many different coffee shops as my caffeine needs allowed. But I kept coming back to Analog, and not just out of convenience. Their cold brew was probably one of the best I had on my trip. They have a selection of noshing items and plenty of places to chill out with a book or your laptop. While I took my coffee to go on my visits, I definitely considered just chilling here for a bit, and most definitely will on return visits. read more

After my half-marathon race I wanted an ice bath, a hot shower and some oysters, coffee and a grilled cheese. I got my oyster fix at Taylor Shellfish and then headed over to this neighborhood coffeeshop. There's a communal table in the back, counter seating along the wall and window, and some seating outside. I had a good CAPPUCCINO and then I was off to get my grilled cheese. read more

Analog Coffee - Cappuccino - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Awesomely delicious coffee no doubt. Staff here makes an awesome cup o Joe no matter how you like it. Pour over is tasty as well! Free wifi, nice open space, chairs outside, you really can't go wrong! Especially love that it's only a block away from my place! read more

I am really excited for this place to open soon. They are doing a little preview right now where they are open just a couple of hours to serve coffee and say hi to the neighorhood. Which i think is rad. I like the idea of come meet your neighbors, feels very friendly. Something that will make them standout and have that home town feel. So i walked over this morning. Both guys were super friendly and made fun conversation. They have drip coffee available right now. They have some in pre-made ready and then some pour over options. I am a big fan of pour over so i got one of the african coffee's. IT was quite yummy and i was very happy with my pick. I am excited to see what they do with the space. If i could have a wish list. I want good seating. A place where i can play cards or chess and drink coffee! Or get lost in a book or writing. ' So the guys are cool, the coffee is good. So i will have to write a second review after their grand opening... about the space.. . Other thoughts about Analog Coffee so far: Mad props for creating a great visual display while they in transition of preparing the space. Rather than just having up boring brown paper to hide their unconstrution phase. They have up a lovely art piece of lots of tiny sheets of paper that shows a lovely ocean with a girl on some rocks. So its nice to walk by and see something lovely then peek in the window and see the mini set up.. very cool. Capitol Hill is a cool arty area and i like that they took this into account and created a piece of art for the neighbohood.. I have a feeling they are going to fit in great in this location. To be continued :) read more

I own a small coffee house, so when I travel I always have to hop around to the legit places I've heard about and check them out. This trip to Seattle I fell in love with Analog. The guys behind the counter were comfortable and knowledgeable about their product and the local coffee scene. I had a macchiato which was the best I've ever been served, and a muffin (which was good, but it is just a muffin). When I go out, I don't just sit back, I analyze and study everything. They were precise and consistent in their product and service. They gave me great recommendations of other coffee houses to check out, but after going to them, Analog was still my favorite. read more

The coffee is pretty much perfect. The scones are yum. I'm probably not indie enough for the ambiance and clientele. All in all it's a great spot tucked in Cap Hill. The baristas are fast and pleasant, which is all you need. I usually order a soy latte or americano. The lattes are not overly milky, but creamy and rich. I'm always asking myself why I don't come in here more as I pass by it a few times a week. There are a few different seating options inside and outside, but I never really feel comfortable enough to stay too long. So I'll keep stopping in to hit my espresso fix, but will probably end up other places when I'm working in a cafe. read more

Analog and Victrola were the two best cafes I found during my short trip to Seattle. Being from the SF Bay Area, I had very high hopes for the Seattle Coffee Scene but came out pretty disappointed overall. Luckily there was Analog to save the day on my very last stop before heading to the Airport which was the perfect way to end a trip to one of the great Coffee cities of the world. The cappuccino I had there was perfect. In fact it was fantastic. The espresso was incredibly complex and it tasted almost as though a sweet, nutty syrup was added to the milk. It was really an amazing blend of flavors. I was so impressed that I asked them to bag up some of their espresso beans to take home. While they don't have a roaster themselves they sure know what to do with the beans once they have it. They also make sure to use very high quality local organic milk which adds to the perfection of their drinks. Here's a quick rundown on the technical details: - Locally roasted coffee beans: Check. They source from Herkimer Coffee - Baristas with proper training on pulling espresso: Check. - Microfoam quality and Latte Art: Check (See the picture of the cap I added) read more

What a wonderful place! They really adopt the analog theme. Such friendly staff and great coffee. And they just open up B-side so there's fancy toast! read more

Analog Coffee - Menu. - Cafes Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was excited to find this shop because I love Herkimer Coffee beans, but the service was a major let down. I arrived about a half an hour before closing and was warned (understandably so) that the shop would be closing at 6. I said I understood and would leave at that time. However, before six, the server told me (I was the only customer in there mind you) again that the shop would be closing and the turned on heavy metal music just to reiterate his point. I get it already, you want to go home!! I understand wanting to close shop for the day, but this was ridiculous. As a former barista, I know that it takes time after "closing" to actually close shop, and often let customers who had already paid and given me their dishes to wrap up what they are doing and leave on their own time. Just left me feeling sad and angsty. Definitely wont be back here again. read more

A local coffee shop that has great espresso, and coffee!!!! They give you an option of soda water with espresso, ugh yes! done. I am a simple girl that like a nicely poured espresso, and these guys know to do it!! Done and done. Watch out stumptown read more

After experiencing the excruciating hell that is caffeine withdrawal, I swore I would make an effort to limit my caffeine intake so as to prevent caffeine dependency. Sadly, this vow didn't last long, as Analog Coffee's lattes made me fall off the no-caffeine wagon. Analog Coffee is good and simple. When you go there, there are no pretentious people, no gift cards or logo-covered mugs for sale, and no optional whip cream or caramel toppings for your coffee drinks. Instead, you get delicious coffee and friendly service - no frills. Their menu has, like, five items on it (plus, there's usually a small selection of delicious Mighty O donuts available), and that music you're hearing isn't coming from someone's ipod - yes, that's a record player behind the counter. Oh, and in case a trip to Analog Coffee wasn't awesome enough, they have a table with a stack of comic books that you can browse through while you're in caffeine-induced heaven. read more

When Digital gets too main stream there is analog coffee. It's a good alternative to the many coffee shops in the area. but this one is tucked away in a residential street that makes it a coffee spot for cap hill residents. It goes with a charming minimalist worn wood decor and a hand drawn sign out front a big comic book collection and magazines to read. I am looking forward trying it again read more

It's wonderful to find a new place focused on the quality of the coffee. Something I love: the menu includes add-ons for chocolate or steamed milk, but does not present lattes or mochas. (If you are looking for milky, sugar drinks, there are plenty of other places to go in the neighborhood besides Starbucks. Top Pot, further north on Summit, has Ovaltine lattes. Arabica Coffee Lounge down the street is another option.) Another thing that I love: "milky glass" mugs that reinforce the drinking experience for this cofffee lover. As Vivace does, Analog Coffee keeps their sizes in line with what is best for really good coffee. My companion's drip had a completely different flavor profile from my Americano. Both were excellent. They've created a unique personality for the shop with layout, light colors, and reused materials. There is a long communal table at the back, a standing/leaning counter along the wall (with bag hooks), window counters and benches up front, and a couple of seats outside facing Summit. Since they are just off the big arterial of John St/Olive Wy, it's still pretty peaceful to sit outside. Bus lines: #14 (Starbucks stop), #43 & #8 (SummitxJohn), #49 Thomas St. (Southbound) read more

I just moved into the neighborhood, and yesterday I snagged an iced americano and a dill scone. When I walked in I was greeted by simplicity and two smiling faces, both of which can be hard to find on the hill. As I peered around I noticed a clean scene, comic books neatly stacked on a low table near a front window, stacks upon stacks of records lined the shelves behind the espresso machine, and the menu, my favorite. The menu is as simple as it gets, just simple, pure, coffee. They also have yummy pastries, my dill scone was amazing. Analog coffee, you will be seeing much more of me. read more

Well folks, I got another one for you. and this one is a treasure. Goes by the name Analog Coffee and its got every other shop I'v been to beat. Key points: 1) very personal shop. you will never get ignored or overlooked by the only two guys running the place. their obviously completely invested into their business and they have been around in coffee for over a decade before they opened their shop. they know what their doing behind the bar. 2) great product. my scone was incredible! The coffee was great. I am not going to get carried away here and say its the best iv ever had. but their pulling Herkimer's beans and they know whats up. all that aside the coffee is tasty and im talking to those who want a good macchiato or cap. if you like 20oz breve vanilla strawberry mochas with whip than go to the sugarshack drive thru or starbucks. 3) the shop is awesome!! ambiance is relaxing and inviting the play good music on a record player hence the name Analog. nice and simple set up with no crazy over the top modern theme which seems to be the norm these days. all in all its a place that im happy to go and support with my hard earned money. go check it out if your a self proclaimed coffee nerd, i think you'll enjoy it. read more

More like a 3.5 The coffee was a 4. The place was maybe a 3. Small, cute shop with maybe 10 bar seats. Hipstahs at the counter. Limited selection of pastries and coffee but that's okay-- the coffee is good. Don't think they have many outlets. Find parking on streets (2 hr within certain hrs) and good luck with the parallel parking. Internet works well. read more

I felt like I went into a very alternative coffee shop. The coffee was decent but the shop is tiny. It's a great location to order and go. As with anything in Capitol hill, the parking effort is not worth it just to get a cup of coffee at this place. Maybe if I lived in the neighborhood? I didn't even see selection of food. Definitely not a place you want to chill and work. read more

Very good coffee in a spartan setting. My new local coffee shop is Analog Coffee, a small place with a retro vibe (and free wi-fi) in the miniature commercial district of Summit Ave E. The proprietors are there every day but Sunday churning out excellent coffee drinks. The quality is high although it comes at a price: a pour-over will run you nearly $4.00 and an americano is about $1 more than you'd pay at the big chains. Nevertheless, this place is mobbed and for good reason. I've been unable to get a seat at a quarter to noon on a Wednesday. The atmosphere is retro-chic with lots of newspapers, magazines, comic books, and non-digital audio equipment. No Pandora on an iPhone here; instead you get tracks from a record player. The for-here mugs have faded pastel colors and styles out of the 1965 Sears catalog. Even their obligatory A-frame signboard is hand-lettered. The place is unapologetically hip but also humble. My only major complaint about Analog is that its seating is not as plentiful or as comfortable as I'd expect from a coffeehouse. Bare wooden benches, stools, and tables complement the minimal decor but don't provide much to encourage people to stay. There's one long table in the back and one larger table in the front, but I always worry I'm going to spill my drink on the comic book collection on display in the front. read more

This is the best latte I've ever had in my entire life. It made me feel like I've never had real coffee before. There was no bitterness and the texture was a perfect foamy consistency throughout. read more

Went by to check them out now that they're fully open and have drinks beyond espresso (what can I say, I love my cappucinos). I asked if they took debit and they said they will starting next week, but rather than just let me leave the awesome barista (and maybe owner?) said "but you're here already, what can I get you?" He gave me a free coffee and when I protested just said it gave me an excuse to come back once they can take cards. Seriously, a small business willing to do that? Awesome. And he's right, that kind of customer service will definitely get me to go back! The cappucino was excellent except the first 1 or 2 sips were super bitter - not sure why as the rest was great. I'll have to ask when I go back. read more
