This cafe was pretty close to where I was staying so I dropped by several times in the AM to get coffee. The coffee was pretty good and the service was ... good. Not bad and not great. Perfunctory and a little brusque. I'm starting to sound like a small-towner here but I think that a smile with your hello goes a long way. In any case, I didn't hate it though it wouldn't be considered a favorite. read more

Super convenient to my house. I like that the music is KEXP and just a continuation of what I was just listening to in my car. They charge a bit much for the Molly's sandwiches. But what really keeps me from scoring higher is feeling bad every time I leave. Staff never says thank you or goodbye. They just swing their little ipad stand around and turn and talk to their co-workers after you finish pushing your last button. Kinda a slap in the face to someone who just spent money in your shop. Maybe it's because I never get coffee and only get a sandwich. Still, for a neighborhood spot, doesn't feel neighborhoody. read more

This a good spot for studying and working as well as having a nice cup of coffee. I was thrilled to find this place in the Central District. There is plenty of seating and a broad mix of customers from the hipster crowd to parents with their toddlers. The baristas are very friendly and helpful. I spilled my espresso before I was able to drink it and the barista made me another one. That in itself made me want to keep coming back. read more

Don't you just love hipsters? They seem to love this place. I almost left because of the enormous glare coming off all of the black frame glasses. However, it was nice to see that the canine-loving customers had left their dogs tied up outside. I don't like to patronize restaurants that allow dogs inside. Other than that, they did have some good chai that was nice and spicy. read more

If you hate great customer service, knowledgeable staff, great product, a diverse neighborhood atmosphere, and technologically relevant operations, then don't go here; this place has all this and more. I have never had such awesome service and product at a cafe in Seattle until my Broadcast Coffee experience. The ambiance and setup that the space features encourages dialogue and collaboration - the original point of a coffee house. Want to put on your headphones and keep to yourself? They have plenty of outlets and quiet places to do just this. They cater towards everyone's dietary needs and restrictions. They turn an otherwise ho-hum neighborhood corner into a destination. You can't tell who the manager is because each and every employee is empowered to make your experience amazing and acts with professionalism and integrity. The product and preparation is ALWAYS spot on. If you got something incorrect, they would hands down go out of their way to make it right. If you have a problem with Apple registers, well then you seriously are searching for a reason to complain. Don't want to wait more than 30 seconds for a drink? Then maybe you should buy some VIA and make instant coffee at home. Have a problem tipping at least a dollar for your coffee? Keep it. I'll make up the difference. A dollar is the least you should be tipping. Or here's a concept: bring the 50 cents that you wanted to tip and put it in the tip jar. Really, it will be ok. Remember: For every one negative comment someone takes the time to write, 9 people that had a great experience don't take the time to write one; they expect this level of service every time and receive it every time. read more

I'm from out of town and a place where I have access to very good coffee. I know good coffee but drink it as I get it - so not a snob. I was intrigued by the variety of reviews so wanted to check this place out. Got there about 8am on a Saturday, three other customers. Got a smile as soon as I got through the door from one of the two women working there and a second one from the other at the counter. Ordered "just a cup of coffee" and was pleasantly surprised by the taste black and with cream. Had a "good morning" muffin, small, cold and just okay. Total was less than $5. A refill of my coffee mug was 82 cents (really). The place was spartan, clean aesthetic, somewhat chilly in feel but okay. A guy came in at one point for coffee and a roll and sang along with the pleasant music for a bit. I liked that. When I read the one and two star reviews I feel sorry for those people. They must need a lot, feel the world owes them a lot and generally be unpleasant people. read more

Got the largest latte available and surprisingly coffee still came out strong -- not diluted from the milk. 5 stars.

Great coffee, unpretentious, pleasant space, pleasant music overhead. I love that they're taking a human rights stand in today's social climate. I'm addicted and spend so much moolah on their delicious drip and whole bean coffee. read more

The barista with the black and clear glasses is very rude and inconsiderate. It seems like he is inhappy with his job and he needs to find a new one. On the other hand the cashiers young man who is the cashier is very sweet. read more

My new fave coffee place in this area. Baristas are fun & friendly and I their green tea lattes are LIFE in a cup

Used to live off yesler and loved coming to this place on Sunday's. Reasonably priced and GREAT coffee. Trumps most other coffee places I've been to. Their chocolate is hand made and delicious. I recommend getting their mocha. It's pretty dang good. I'll be a forever customer. read more

Seattle is its own breed.. but this place was a little off. One guy running the place, super tiny, no seating due to crowdedness, bathrooms were kind of gross. Don't have much variety. No coconut milk which is my favorite. I just got a soy milk mocha and it tasted funky. My husband ordered a Carmel macchiato and somehow ended up with a Latte, at least that was tasty. Sigh. read more

Comfortable neighborhood coffee house. Very friendly service, good coffee [and tea] drinks and solid Wi-Fi. Simple corner location, not fancy. Relatively quiet; many folks alone working laptops; able to have quiet conversation or concentrate. read more

My daily coffee stop. Barry the owner knows me by name and every staff member knows my drink. I love Broadcast!

Friendly baristas, and good brews. My latte was great, and consistent, as I ended up being there lots during a residency rotation. I wish the basked good selection was better, but overall, great. read more

I know that every coffee shop in Seattle can't be a haven for coffee snobs (and I'm a proud one) but this place just doesn't give a puck about crema. There, I said it! They pull a decent shot; a step or two above Starbucks. But really, this is the CD - hipster heaven. I expected a bit more. Broadcast is okay in a pinch if you're stranded and hungry for coffee and pastries in the CD, 'cause good luck finding a Starbucks; this is one neighborhood Howard Schultz isn't interested in overtaking. But if you're looking for really good coffee, like the elusive "god shot," you ain't gonna find it at Broadcast. You'll get your slightly above average shot, some decent "we're kinda trying here but not really" pastries and that's all. The staff is unevenly friendly, predictably hipsterish but quite often will give you that classic "Seattle-freeze 'tude." And there you go - that's Broadcast: the place to go for coffee in a pinch. read more

I live this place. The coffee is good. the staff is friendly. Nice, cozy, delightful little cafe! :-) read more

Tasty coffee. Nice, open space to work. Free wi-fi (ask for the key at the bar). Pay using an iPad and the Square card reader, which makes you feel like you are living in the 21st century. read more

It's nice to have good coffee in the Central District, and I'll probably come back here once in a while. But the Wi-Fi connection is slow and choppy - one day it just didn't work at all. Maybe I'm a spoiled brat, but to me it's like having heat during the winter - it's a basic expectation. Anyway, the vibe and music are nice, the baristas are great, and the cookies are tasty. Just don't hold your breath if you need to get online work done. read more

The environment is awkward, the temperature is too warm (and strangely humid?) ... The coffee is okay, but it feels like a "third wave" knockoff. Not a real coffee shop and one I won't go to again. The baristas were only vaguely friendly and seemed more annoyed to help than anything. Bad customer service. read more

Great coffee shop, friendly staff, and lots of space for meetings, solo sessions, or chilling with a friend. For the CD, one of the 'pioneers' of new spots that bring customers from all walks of life, and the friendly staff seems to know everyone. Will continue to be my go to spot in the years to come. read more

I ordered a Chai Tea. Tasted a little watered down and not as spicy as I liked. I would give them another try though.

Great flavors. Got an iced latté. Not too great for tea though. Oversteeped and too hot for green tea

This place is great but it's SO COLD! Just because the sun is out it does't mean we should crank up the A/C. They have great snacks, tea and coffee but they should sell outerwear as well. read more

Love Broadcast so sorry to have moved away from it. Great baristas and good coffee.

Good tasting coffee, far better than Starbucks. Sometimes service is slow even when they aren't busy. They do fun latte art. Close walk from our apartment. read more

Solid lattes, cashier a tad on the aloof side (he gave me change wrong twice, my shirt must have shocked his senses), but all in all, great place. Got to witness a dog get attacked outside by another dog whose owner conveniently forget to leash him.. knucklhead. read more

Great place to study or read. It's soooo quiet!! It's like library quiet. Non offensive art, ambient low music, even the baristas have pleasant personalities. Not a place to meet friends tho. I would feel in would be disturbing everyone by talking. Best coffee in the CD. read more

A great place to work - quiet-ish, outlets to plug in your computer, and big windows facing a park.

I like this place and visit at least once a week. I enjoy their coffee and it's way better then Starbucks-so that's a plus. I think it's interesting that everyone on here remarks on how hipster-ish it seems but I don't really get that vibe. Seems like regular neighborhood folks frequent this place. Not pretentious to me at all. read more

First time here, the gal was very nice and patient while I figured out my order. At first sip of my macchiato, I was disappointed. It was overly sweet and even though it was supposed to have four shots of espresso, I couldn't taste it. I also ordered a sausage breakfast sandwich that was too crispy and lacked flavor. I'm going to try this place again and see if it was just this time. Maybe order a different breakfast item. The seating is nice though, lots of places to sit without feeling overcrowded with tables and chairs. The staff working were very nice though and knew the other customers orders and names, which you don't get at most coffee shops. read more

One of my favorite local wi-fi spots. I like the pastries and the open space to get a lot of my work done. The playlists st is always awesome and I am able to pick up new music with google voice read on my phone. I miss those random coupons I get by email I would like to see some more. Thanks Broadcast! read more

Their cookies are seriously good, but if you go late (like Sunday 2pm), you may not be able to find any. This is my first visit here, will come back for other baked goods read more

The Borgia is a fantastic orange mocha beverage. I had it with oat milk. It was delicious.

Nice little neighborhood café... Went in there the other day for a latte which was absolutely fantastic, and a little snack... Didn't care for their snack selection much and what I chose was a chocolate chip cookie which was overly salty! Everyone in there was a bit friendly and the atmosphere was nice. read more

A good space to work with a lot of outlets ! The coffee was good and I'm happy with the service !!!

High-quality coffee made with Stumptown beans. Recent interior makeover has yielded a clean, airy atmosphere - the kind one might expect from a hip, chill coffeehouse. The staff always remember my drink, even if I don't return for a month. Regular rotation of quality art on the walls. A view out onto Pratt Park. Never too crowded, but never too empty. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about Broadcast. So.... wait for it.... 5 STARS. read more

Great coffee shop. Lots of natural light, electric outlets, table space and good music. The only downside is that they only have pre-made deli food. Still one of my favorite coffee shops. read more

Spacious and with friendly staff, Broadcast coffee serves very good espresso drinks and also has beer and wine. My Americano was ordered 8 oz and was made 12oz by mistake. The barrista immediately made another one without making me feel like a chump. Thanks bro. There's also outdoor seating looking toward a park. Baked goods are decent. read more

Was staying near this cafe, had a coffee to perk my day (it certainly did). They roast their own beans to ensure quality, and to tasting before it hits the store! kinda dig that. Awesome and friendly staff, like the coziness of the place too. read more
