Anchorhead Coffee - Capitol Hill - Mocha 16oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just arrived in Seattle a few days ago while moving a friend here so we wanted to get our first cup of coffee-- Anchorhead did not disappoint! The space itself is cozy, but there are a few tables and high top spots to sit at if you want to meet a friend or spend a little morning/afternoon here. The barista was incredibly nice and friendly. The iced latte with fresh mint was perfect-- the right amount of espresso and mint flavor was great as it wasn't over powering or artificial tasting. The iced dirty chai is also delicious-- the spices and flavor were really well balanced. For pastries, the cinnamon roll was delicious (I believe it had a cream cheese frosting). They had a selection of pastries and a few breakfast sandwich options as well. My friend got the bacon and egg sandwich and said it was a good choice! read more

Heard that they had a blueberry matcha here and wanted to try. Personally I really liked it bc I'm not a huge matcha person and it was more blueberry than matcha, same with the strawberry matcha. My friends ordered so I didn't interact with the staff at all but they seemed pretty nice, I saw one of my friends spilled at the counter and they Were quick to clean it up .Overall would go back and try more things. The spot was nice too! I liked all the plants read more

Anchorhead Coffee - Capitol Hill - Blueberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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 :) read more

It was okay. The barista was super nice, and I really liked the ambiance in there, it seemed like a nice place to study. 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. read more

Chilled out little cafe. Very good coffee. The pastries were a bit on the dry side. Are they fresh every morning or was there a holdover from yesterday. Still... all yummy. Helpful nice service read more

Cute little coffee shop located right next to Seattle University in Capitol Hill. They host events downstairs too! 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. 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. I chilled for a bit and drank my drink and it was a nice and aesthetic spot. Some parking in the streets in that area but also a pretty busy cafe. read more

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. 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. read more

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. Good WiFi and lots of seating. Geared towards students for sure. read more

I love love love Anchorhead. Their drinks are unique and taste exactly like how they're described on the menu (especially their blueberry matcha!). Their lighting downstairs is a bit dim to get work done, but I'd still highly recommend otherwise. WiFi is available! read more

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! read more

Nice place close to campus & wonderful service & ambiance. I got the iced mocha latte and it tasted like chocolate milk but thats okay

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. read more

I heard good things about the blueberry matcha so I've always been interested in trying it out. The baristas were very kind and welcoming but I felt that the latte was not strong enough in terms of matcha, and I expected the matcha quality to be somewhat better. I did really like the blueberry syrup though. I would comeback to try a different drink next time. read more

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. read more

Super cool coffee shop that turns into a bar at night! We went to their game night on Tuesday, and I was super impressed by the ambiance. Make sure you go downstairs, and see the beautiful plants, tall stairway, airy space, and neon lights. They also host latte/coffee making classes here, and have trivia nights/other events too! As of this review, the bar is open Tuesday - Thursday evenings. You might need to knock on the door if you come right around 6, and they're open all the way til 11! The drinks were okay, a bit on the pricey side for sure, and they offered a lot of hot dogs, including a sweet option. I'd come for the vibes, not necessarily the food or drink in the evening, but I've heard good things about their morning/afternoon drinks! read more

I really enjoy this coffee shop, however this might be my least favorite location (due to the overwhelming amount of teens that gather here from Seattle Academy - I don't blame the shop of this). Nonetheless, the drinks are consistently flavorful and creative. The baristas are always so nice and friendly. The interior is trendy, and I love the additional cafe space downstairs - dare I say sexy? When I want something beyond a vanilla oat milk latte, and looking for an adventurous coffee, this is where I'll go! read more

I got the Hey Bae ube latte with oat milk and it was yummy! I've been to their Pike Place location and would always get the Lavender Coconut Caramel Oat Latte and loved that, so I'm glad the ube latte at this location was delish! The interior is your quintessential Seattle industrial decor, which would be cool for college students or anyone WFH. If I were still in college, I would love to study here or just hang out with friends. read more

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.

Anchorhead Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle and definitely a place I recommend to folks out of town. When I found out that they opened close to my home, I just KNEW that I would become a regular here. They've been opened on 12th Ave for the past month or two and I come here at least once a week. Their specialty drinks are unique and well crafted, especially their honey bunches of cold brew (I highly recommend this). Every once in awhile I'll order a classic such as a cappuccino or americano and the drinks are thoughtfully made each time. They also offer bakery items such as croissants, cookies, and more. I've only ever had the croissant, but I thought it was just okay. This is a nice and spacious space to come to study or catch up on work. The upstairs may look misleading, but there is an entire downstairs area with additional seating. Every time I come here they are always playing really great music and it sets up the shop to be a very chill place. The baristas are friendly for the most part and although the pricing is kind of expensive, I think it's well worth it. read more

I love their blueberry matcha!!!! Have also tried their salted caramel cookie and cinnamon roll which are also so yummy

We did the tasting with Brandie- I was very impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm. We had a fantastic time and thought it well worth the price. read more

I always love trying the seasonal lattes here! They usually have tasty pastries too, but they sell out fast, so I would recommend going early if he wants to try any of those! My favorite pastry, a Matcha cookie, is unfortunately seasonal, so I'm hoping they bring it back next year! read more

In my opinion, Anchorhead has the best coffee in Seattle (especially the cold brew bottles). This particular location in Cap Hill has an awesome atmosphere that fits into the neighborhood. They also have classes for learning about and trying different coffees. The service here is usually friendly, welcoming, and fast. read more

I absolutely love the interior of this coffee shop. Black walls, wooden furniture, some plants... Very cool! I tried their "respect your elders" $6 (as of June 2022) and it was good but I didn't taste the elderflower. In the description, it says "a whisper of elderflower" so I guess you have to have a very sensitive taste buds to taste it (: The tax is included in the price! One thing I didn't like was the website. It looks good and all but I wish the website had the current menu. read more

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.

Excellent coffee! Love that this shop has the tried and true classics like a vanilla latte as well as more creative flavors. My favorite was the honey bunches of cold brew. The burnt honey flavor was rich and aromatic. read more

I was really looking forward to making this coffee shop a place where I'd regularly go to work in the afternoons. I just moved here from the East Coast and thought the place would be a cool place for me to relax and just work, but unfortunately I was not able to relax at all. As a biracial woman, I did feel negatively and backlash from the servers, as well as a from a couple downstairs who felt the need to eavesdrop my conversation and loudly speak about it. I believe I was racially profiled from about 4 people. I will definitely let people know about my experience. Two stars for the mocha coffee. I also give it 2 stars because I had to ask to have my overpriced muffin heated. Yeah, I'm definitely letting people know about this particular Anchorhead. read more

I drive from Shoreline just to get their Honey Bunches of Cold Brew, it's that good. The baristas have always been friendly, and the space itself is pretty cool. There's limited seating, so I wouldn't recommend coming here to work. read more

Not sure if it's because this place is newer or if the recipe is different from the western Ave branch but my go to drink I got today was very subpar. I got a 16 oz hot latte with lavender coconut caramel syrup and oat milk. The price was 6.50 which is 50 cents higher than the western Ave branch. Not sure if the price just increased recently across all branches or if it's just this branch but that surprised me a little, not that I wouldn't pay 6.50 for this drink. I gave the western Ave a 5 star because of this go to drink and how it tastes delicious every time I get it. My first time here, ordered the same thing and it tasted flat. Literally like a flat white at Starbucks. Again, not sure if it's because it's new or different here but it likely is because not enough syrup was used so it tasted very bland. I will come back eventually and give this place another chance but for now it's a 3 star based on this experience. read more

I like their chai quite a lot. Their pasties are tasty, too! This place is relatively new so I think there's a little bit of a learning curve for those who work here. That being said, I wish they could get my rather simple order (dirty chai with oat milk) correct on the first try. Since I'm not a morning person and am usually in a time-crunch in the morning (my bad), having to wait an extra few minutes for them to re-make my order makes me dock a star. Otherwise, great and tasty. Service here is great and friendly, so thank you :) -update- tried their pistachio matcha and it's tasty! I've never had pistachio milk but it pairs well with matcha. I guess they make their own pistachio milk? Pretty cool. read more

Such yummy coffee! I've been to Anchorhead at multiple locations and they are consistent across the board. The roast they use is so smooth yet bold at the same time. Pumpkin stuff 5/5: I love their seasonal pumpkin stuff drink. The spices mesh beautifully together and is definitely my favorite pumpkin spice drink around the area. Ginger maple 3.75/5: thought it was decent but nothing I would go back for. The ginger flavor was a little subdued for me Pistachio matcha 2/5: I also would not order their pistachio matcha again nor recommend it. The matcha was poor quality and I thought it would taste like pistachio but it was just pistachio milk. Nitro mint cold brew latte 5/5. Super fresh and yummy! I really enjoyed this drink. Overall, I would definitely recommend Anchorhead for a good variety of choices. They have something for everyone! read more

A sad thing about coffee and cafes is that there aren't many good indicators of whether a place will have good coffee or not. Sure, a trendier setup, a smaller fonted menu, a slow bar (whether functional or not), more black paint, more white paint, etc., all *promise* a better cup, but often they just mean that someone somewhere in the business was aware of coffeeshop trends. It doesn't mean the barista can competently steam milk and it doesn't mean anyone has dialed in the espresso in the past month. Anchorhead's $6 for an untested eight ounce latte is hard to muster. The result, though, shows that someone does know how to make a latte, and they work at Anchorhead. Their wi-fi's shit, their windows are big, and their latte is good. read more
