    Blueberry Matcha
    Xia Wen G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute coffee place with lots of seating and yummy coffee and matcha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love their cute cups and portion size. We got an iced latte and a seasonal iced blueberry matcha. They were both delicious!

    Anchorhead has become a favorite for me I look forward to their delicious coffee- usually order their nitro or just a cold brew . Their staff is always prompt and ordering is easy. When I'm not in the mood for coffee I live for their blueberry matcha!

    Anchorhead is such a solid cafe if you're looking for yummy drinks and a cute place to study!! I thought it was a small cafe at first, but there's a lot more seating downstairs if you're okay with darker lighting. I came here after my friends recommendation to get the Iced Blueberry Matcha. I was so interested because this combination is definitely something different but I was so pleasantly surprised!! Please get this you won't be disappointed! I got the 10oz for $6.50 but honestly should've upgraded to the 16oz because the price difference isn't a lot and it's that good. Honestly the wifi was a bit spotty for me when I went downstairs, and they had three different networks for some reason. Besides that, I had such a lovely experience and it was cool that they sold apparel too! I definitely want to come back and try their original drinks :)

    Easily my favorite matcha I've had in Seattle -- I've had a Strawberry Matcha before but a Blueberry one was unexpectedly lovely!

    It was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The barista was super nice, and I really liked the ambiance in there, it seemed like a nice place to study.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But after reading reviews it seemed like the Hey Bae latte was the way to go, and I was not a fan at all:( I've had ube flavored things before, but idk maybe it was the combination with hazelnut, I just did not like it. I appreciated that they had different sugar variations available, as well as simple syrup to add to your coffee on your own. The pastries also looked pretty good, although I didn't try any. I just wish the menu had a little more variance.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little coffee shop located right next to Seattle University in Capitol Hill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They host events downstairs too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here on a Sunday after attending mass on campus for some coffee and there was like a clothes swap or something downstairs so there's both seating upstairs and downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While looking up reviews, I just wanted a nice latte so I got the hey bae (Ube hazelnut latte) with regular milk and iced. It was pretty good. They also have pastries to order there too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I chilled for a bit and drank my drink and it was a nice and aesthetic spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some parking in the streets in that area but also a pretty busy cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This anchor head location has a lot of space to work in -- there's a basement floor with even more seating and it's next to the bakery so you can smell all the pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the nitro cold brew and while it wasn't very nitro, it didn't cost any more than the regular cold brew and it was a nice smooth drink.

    Blackberry Caramel Latte and Pistachio Matcha
    Stephen B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service from Valencia and great overall vibe here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Blackberry Caramel Latte in particular stood out as being incredible. Look forward to coming back soon!

    12 oz fact check

    Their 12 oz drinks are in fact 12 oz. I guess I prefer the cups that are skinnier and taller and trick me into believing I'm getting more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good WiFi and lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Geared towards students for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Orange Hazelnut Pinwheel Pastry Blueberry Matcha Latte Honey Bunches of Oats Cold Brew

    Absolutely loved the orange hazelnut pinwheel pastry. SO GOOD. Also had a great blueberry matcha latte! Was my first time trying this place & definitely won't be my last!

    a cup of coffee and a muffin
    Kayla D.

    Came in here after a hectic day of work and boy am I sure glad I did! Met a wonderful barista by the name of Izzy and it happened to be her birthday!! She was sweet, kind, and helpful with her knowledge of products which swayed into choosing the perfect coffee!!!! Ended up buying a muffin and my ONLY regret was I didn't buy two!!! These are delicious! And everything made in house!

    Honey bunches of cold brew
    Tara H.

    I've been here a few times and was always helped very fast. If you're not into coffee, their chai lattes are good. I really enjoy their iced coffee drink called: honey bunches of oat milk. It is a cold brew with oat milk, honey, cinnamon, and maple. I highly recommend this place. It's also a cute coffee shop to work at or just to enjoy a drink.

    Drip
    Ben H.

    Anchorhead came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. Beans are roasted on the bottom layer of the double decker coffee shop. Ordered a drip. Free refills for the win. The coffee was flavourful, fruity and bold. I added a drop of the oat/half n half to change the consistency. We ordered a couple of pastries via 2good2go. Winning.

    I got the blueberry matcha latte! The drink was good and the matcha flavor was refreshing. I do think the drink is a little too sweet.

    Good coffee, nothing amazing. It's a little pricey but it's a good coffee spot for SU students as an alternative to just going to Starbucks.

    This place was recommended to us and we were warned about the long lines. We went on a Monday…read moremorning and there was only about a dozen people in line. The shop is tiny and there were three women behind the counter. One was stocking, one grabbed our orders while the other rang it up. Everything went quick and smooth. Was in line for less than 10 minutes. Ask for a knife and fork to cut them up to share. We ordered the beef and cheese, the beef and onion, the Smoked salmon bake, and the sausage with cheddar and jalapeno. We each got to sample each other's orders. Favorite was the Sausage roll. The beef and onion was very greasy and the pastry got mushy pretty quickly. There is no place to sit so we found a counter to quickly divy up the orders and walked around while eating. I wish there was seating or high tables at least.

They were a lifesaver and comforting treat during the Covid Pandemic and they are located in the fabulous and historic Pike Place Market-- the best location of all their storefronts! My go-to is their Beef & Cheese Piroshky. When in season, I get a Beef & Cheese Piroshky and a side of their steaming hot Borscht soup w/ a dollop of sour cream on top. It is the perfect pairing and the perfect meal on a chilly Seattle day! When Borscht is not available and I want to eat and dunk my savory piroshky in soup, I found that buying a cup of Original Clam Chowder at nearby Pike Place Chowder is a very delicious thing. My other top favorites are their Potato and Cheese Piroshky, plus several of their sweet piroshky such as their Rhubarb, Marzipan Roll, Chocolate Cream Hazelnut Roll, and Moscow Roll.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.
