The vibe is really nice inside. The layout is pretty cool. I guess they sell beer at night? I saw there was a bunch of liquor but didn't try it since it was nine in the morning. Someone told me that it becomes a bar at night. Maybe I'll try that one night. I digress the coffee is pretty good and it makes me feel fancy. Sidebar the apple juice that they sell there is also good. I remember the barista being pretty nice as well. This place isn't just a coffee shop. It's an experience... read more

Went to this place the other day and it went great. The design of the cafe is nice and unique. The vibe is nice you can talk to people who you're with and not worry about the music being so loud. The coffee is pretty good along with the food. They have a nice selection of items to order from. read more

The ambiance and decor is amazing. I love the wood interior with the green color. It makes the experience feel inviting and friendly, the perfect coffee experience for anytime of the day. The breakfast Sammies are also super yummy. Even better is the close proximity to the world renowned Sound Transit light rail system. read more

I was a regular here for years and in addition to spending thousands of dollars, left this location a glowing, five-star review. The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that. read more

Armistice Coffee Roaster - Almond Milk Latte + Decor - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Nice place to work, coffee is of a high quality, and the ambience is chill. Service of one person in particular is JUST AWFUL. Asked for a cortado once, and it was served in a paper cup. When I mentioned that I had intended to have it here, she shot me daggers and then poured it directly into a ceramic cup - not the $8 cortado I had paid for. She chats with regulars while others wait endlessly in line. Zero hustle. There's a snail drawn on a post-it behind the counter - is it her spirit animal? Without her "service", I'd double my rating. read more

So tasty and smooth flavor coffee! I had the Iced vanilla latte which taste really great. It's so good for morning before heading to work. They have nice selection of coffee and everything was absolutely fantastic. The quality was so good and worth the price! read more

Came on a Sunday early evening. Had my laptop with me to do some work and grabbed a nice Old fashion instead coffee. My second time here and I like it. Cute setup. Everyone there seemed to be working on their laptop so it was a chill vibe. They have music playing too which is cool because I left my headphones this day. I gave 4 stars because the bathroom was out of order and of all days I needed to use lol. Great place though. read more

This was our first stop after landing in Seattle and we decided to get some coffee here. I ordered the Iced Orange Cardamom Latte and I was really intrigued how they managed to balance such strong flavors with the espresso. It was on the bitter side but the syrups helped sweeten it. My only gripe with it is that it had max 30 minutes before the water melted and the bitterness made it almost undrinkable. The interior was very pretty and the heaters were much appreciated. read more

Coffee was very good, pastry was too. Service was not rude but not very friendly either.

I'm always on the look out for coffeeshops where I can sit down and get some work done, and that's exactly what I did yesterday. Armistice Coffee Roasters has a good amount of seating, not just indoors but outdoors as well. Service was also very friendly, it was my first time there so I asked the staff what was their signature drinks and they had a few seasonals to choose from. Very helpful in suggesting which coffee to get, and I ended up choosing the seasonal Lavender Salted Caramel Latte. I would recommend this drink if you're more into sweeter sips, although my first sip had a big sea salt piece which caught me by surprise. Luckily I love sea salt, but if that isn't your vibe then I would suggest ordering something else. The rest of the latte after giving it a good stir was nice and silky, and overall enjoyable. Wifi was great for me, the environment was calm (other than the occasional heavy clanking taps that I assume baristas are chucking out the old grounds), and it just felt like quite a productive space. While I'll always be checking out more coffeeshops in the city, Armistice may very well become my go-to when I need to grind some work (get it, grind? like coffee grinds... I gotta stop making with the puns lol). read more

We ordered a sausage breakfast sandwich, a bacon ranch sandwich, a spiced chai latte, and salted caramel latte. The breakfast sandwich was yummy, but still cold in the middle even though it was heated up. The bacon ranch was good, it was on a yummy 6-8inch baguette, but needed a little more ranch. The chai latte was delicious. The salted caramel latte was not extraordinary, but still good. Could've used more flavor and salt, especially if it's a whole dollar to add a flavor, which is a bit excessive in my opinion. The service was fast, though we came on the Labor Day holiday so it might've been less crowded than normal. The ambiance was amazing. Hung out at a table and played some cards for a little while! Very convenient to get to via the lightrail. read more

Had to move cafes to finish up some work and came here. Was unsure at first glance because it looked packed but upon entering, there were a few empty spaces to do work. There is a parking lot directly across though I don't believe it's associated. Street parking was not too bad on a Monday afternoon. Energy was pretty high and on a hot day, the air conditioning inside was a blessing. Iced Matcha - default sweetened and done perfectly. It's slightly sweet while allowing the matcha to shine. Powder is ground finely and there was no residue or particles evident. Balance of matcha and milk was pretty good, only slightly leaning towards the milk. read more

I really enjoyed the coffee. It has nice quality and it was absolutely fantastic. The quality was great with smooth flavors. The food was well-baked as well and perfect with my Iced Vanilla latte. Nice quality with great portion size and worth the price. read more

Horrible breakfast sandwich and mediocre service. This place is very aesthetic - cute neighborhood roastery vibes. BUT the sausage breakfast sandwich was honestly so terrible, it ruined my entire visit and this review... This place obviously specializes in coffee and I think a mocha (or something more rich) would have done it justice! The beans seem to have a lot of flavor, but I got an iced vanilla latte and it was quite bitter and not sweet enough. Charging $7.50 for a the smallest breakfast sandwich you've ever seen is absolutely wild work. With only a slice of cheese and a simple egg/sausage patty, it was incredibly dry and tasteless. I was expecting something much larger with more toppings or flavor for that price. It just feels like a money grab at that point...like why even have it on the menu? I hate leaving bad reviews, but Seattle coffee shops need to seriously reconsider pricing things like this, or at least the quality of food if they expect customers to keep coming back. read more

This is the second time coming here, the atmosphere is great BUT the coffee is not it. Both times have ordered different drinks. It's missing flavor and it's actually really expensive for a cup of coffee; $9+. Service is ok, not a long wait time for your drink. read more

Armistice Coffee has turned into one of my regular stops when I'm in Seattle. The cafe is cozy without trying too hard. Good seating inside with some comfy spots, plants around, and outdoor seating that works even on typical Seattle days. The house roasted coffee is consistently good. I can't say enough good things about the staff, who have always been helpful and pleasant. read more

Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area--you won't be disappointed. Staff is very friendly.

First off, it's not ADA friendly, the menu is small and doesn't really allow for anyone but the person ordering to browse. I can't say anything for the cocktails, but if you're coming here for the coffee, don't, it's not awful but it is disappointing. I also ordered 2 different sandwiches and both were mid at best. The atmosphere is nice and the decor is cool, but the only good seating is outside because the inside seating is packed like sardines. At $45 for 2 lattes and 2 sandwiches, you could get better at literally any other spot in Seattle for a much better price. read more

Pastries? Amazing. Staff? Darling. Coffee? Wonderful. This is a peaceful, tiny little stop for some great, quick eats and drinks. One of a kind vibe but once you step inside you want to melt into the aura of the place. Delicious stuff, I love to come here! read more

Armistice coffee is a nice place to come to if you need get some work done or just want to catch up with a friend over coffee. It's spacious and has a warm atmosphere with nice decor. That being said, it does get pretty busy so it can get a bit loud throughout the day as people filter in and out. They roast their beans in house, so their coffee is very good, but it can be pricey. I had a latte with oat milk and one of the syrups, and it came out to $10. Since they roast their beans in house, I assume you're paying a little more for the quality. Once they start roasting their beans, it also gets very loud combined with the noise of all the people coming in and out. A word of caution - do not get any of the pastries. I had the croissant and the cinnamon role, both were stale and way too dense. I did also try one of the breakfast sandwiches and it was pretty good, although they only seem to sell those on the weekdays. All in all, Armistice is a good spot for coffee and a decent spot to study or catch up with a friend. I'd just recommend coming earlier in the day, before it gets too loud. read more

The drinks were the best. The girl that made the lattes and an expreso drink. You can also get drinks which are crazy good and great food and it's also nice place to meet friends read more

Pros - The interior is beautiful and uniquely set up. Nice fireplace and outdoor seats as well. Vanilla latte was "pretty good" said the BF. Cons - The music was so loud, it's not a good place to work and definitely not a good place to take meetings. In addition to that Wi-fi is very spotty. I had to drop out of a few of my meetings. Street parking. read more

I respect coffee shops that roast their own coffee beans, but as a cafe, Armistice was pretty lackluster. For one, their wifi was broken, which made working at the cafe impossible. They were also out of whipped cream, even though one of their seasonal signature drinks, the Smores mocha, uses whipped cream as a key ingredient. I ordered it anyways (see photo) and they did provide a 50¢ discount after we asked because they were out of whipped cream. It cost $8.54 for an iced 16oz drink with oat milk, which is ridiculous, because it means originally it would be $9+ for a single coffee. They charge an additional $1 for milk alternatives, which is pretty steep as many other coffee shops only charge 50¢. It tasted just ok, and the marshmallows were really just decor that didn't add anything to the drink. If it were toasted, that would make it more s'mores like. I'm overall disappointed. There is only street parking available. There is a number of seating options, from table to bar to bench. There is self-serve water available. The music was pretty loud, but the loudest thing was the barista slamming the portafilter against something which made a loud banging noise every time espresso was made. I wouldn't recommend this cafe to sit and work in, but it's fine if you need a coffee. read more

Giving this place an extra star as the vibe and atmosphere was pretty cool. So we dropped in pretty late (LOVE late night coffee spots) service was quick and friendly. I had the cortado and my husband the latte, I was not a fan of the cortado it was far too citrusy for me but the latte was top notch. Lovely little fire table and outside area as well, I'm a little envious of anyone who can visit this little spot all the time hehe read more

ARMISTICE COFFEE ROASTERS: WHERE COFFEE MEETS CRUEL JET SKI PROHIBITION Listen, while other coffee shops waste time talking about their beans and roast profiles, can we discuss the ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY that is the Roosevelt Reservoir's anti-jet ski policy? Sure, Armistice makes a decent pour-over, but do you know what would make it better? Watching someone do sick jet ski flips while sipping your morning brew. Their patio seating offers an UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW of 20.3 million gallons of completely jet ski-free water. The audacity. The waste. Every time I watch the surface of that pristine reservoir ripple in the morning light, I can't help but imagine the sweet rooster tail spray from my hypothetical Kawasaki Ultra 310LX-S (in lime green, obviously). You haven't lived until you've experienced their "Reservoir View" seating area, where you can stare longingly at what could be Seattle's premier jet ski freestyle competition venue. I've submitted 47 proposals to the city council for "Coffee and Cross-Overs: A Jet Ski Ballet." Still waiting to hear back. Their large windows perfectly frame what I like to call "The Great Disappointment" - a body of water so perfect for jet ski tricks that it physically hurts to see it used just for... storing water. I've started measuring distances between the coffee shop and potential jet ski launch points. You know, just in case the revolution comes. Five stars for their strategic location overlooking the most tragically underutilized watersports venue in the Pacific Northwest. I've started a weekly support group where we gather by the window, drink their admittedly excellent coffee, and share our jet ski dreams while watching the forbidden waters mock us. P.S. Their "Reservoir Roast" blend would taste 300% better if enjoyed while watching someone nail a perfect double backflip on a Sea-Doo. P.P.S. I've calculated that the reservoir could comfortably support at least 17 jet skis doing synchronized routines without significantly impacting water quality. My research is extensive and only slightly obsessive. Note: This review was written while pressed against their window, watching the reservoir's glass-like surface practically BEGGING for some sweet jet ski action. Special Addendum: To the city official who explained why jet skis aren't allowed in drinking water reservoirs - your logic is sound but your soul is empty. Final Thought: Never has such prime jet ski real estate been so cruelly wasted. It's like if someone built a skate park and then said "Actually, this is just for looking at." Remember: Every cup of coffee served here is made with reservoir-adjacent water that has never known the joy of jet ski waves. Warning: Side effects may include developing detailed plans for stealth jet ski operations, calculating optimal jump trajectories, and crying softly into your latte while watching documentaries about professional jet ski competitions. P.P.P.S. Their new "Reservoir Watch" loyalty program would be so much better if it included jet ski rentals. Just saying. Public Safety Note: This review is not an endorsement of unauthorized jet ski activities in municipal water supplies, no matter how perfect the conditions may be. P.P.P.P.S. Did you know that professional jet ski performers can do backflips? The reservoir is definitely deep enough for that. Not that I've measured it or anything (I have). read more

I ordered a ham & cheese stuffed croissant and it was the best thing I ate for breakfast all week!! My fiance got the Italian soda with strawberry, cream, and whipped topping and it was also amazing!

In a city full of coffee cafes it's easy to get complacent. This though is craft coffee and well worth the walk and $ overtime, I decide to splurge. I don't regularly buy lattes or cappuccinos at cafes, but pastries absolutely. I prefer to make my espresso and coffee at home. This coffee shop has me up and out the door at 7:30 AM walking about 5 city blocks for what I feel and believe will be the tastiest cappuccino for around $6.50 I can find in North Seattle. Come to find out they stock and sell le Fourier fresh made pastries ( every single croissant is amazing They talk about five) I used to travel regularly to in Eastlake for that bakery and sandwich shop. Now, I get both in one trip in a quick walk. I'm looking forward to stopping by when they are actually roasting the coffee in the café . Check them out they're in my neighborhood of Roosevelt and I guess on Eastlake. read more

After I had bought my first espresso machine, I found myself on a caffeine quest in Seattle. The coffee scene here is fierce, but one spot really stood out to me, Armistice Coffee Roasters! The guy that was working solo was super friendly and knowledgeable about the beans they roast. They helped me pick out a bag to bring home and it was hands down, one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. Try their house blend: Rich in chocolate notes, complex flavor, perfectly brewed. This isn't just a caffeine fix, it's a coffee moment. read more

We came here just for the pastry -- initially their cinnamon roll croissant, but apparently they run out of those pretty quickly. We had to settle for the raspberry Danish croissant, which was pretty good but I'm guessing not as good as the cinnamon roll croissant. Anyways, I thought it was pretty neat that they put the different pastries in an air fryer and under two minutes, they give you the pastries crispy and warm. I also really like the vibe of this place; there's plenty of seating indoors and it seems like a nice place to get some work done. read more

Cool shop aesthetic but staff ruined the whole experience for me. Coffee was okay (lil pricey but to be expected at cafes like this). Ultimately the barista was not friendly and clearly did not want to be there. They even made a snide comment to me when I asked for a tad more milk. Will likely not come back but glad I tried read more

Counter service was quick and very friendly. We ordered a butter croissant, chocolate croissant, and an herbal hibiscus iced tea.

Definitely recommend stopping in! read more

Stumbled across Armistice Coffee Bar while exploring Green Lake, house shopping. The decorations immediately caught my eye, especially the cool fire pit and the inviting outdoor reading space. It doesn't take much to sell us on a unique coffee spot, so we decided to give it a try. The barista was super friendly and took the time to explain their unique Turkish coffee option. I ended up choosing an iced rose vanilla latte, which the barista also recommended. The syrup paired well with the coffee, offering warm vanilla undertones and light floral notes. I was feeling adventurous and am happy it paid off. This has def been added to our places of must return. read more

The employee at the store has no desire to provide acceptable service. I ordered a latte and my wife ordered a black coffee. Her black coffee tasted sour. The employee how the coffee tasted. She said it is always sour. My latte was dumped into a paper cup. When I asked her to use a ceramic cup, it felt like I was asking her to kill herself. Reluctantly, she made the worse latte I have had in Seattle. Even in my worse day, I pour a better one at home. The lone star is given for the ambiance. What a waste. read more
