This was my first time visiting Broadcast and I absolutely loved it. I might even consider it better than Phil's coffee. I got a latte, iced caramel macchiato and some donuts. it was just right amount of caramel and coffee. Usually stbx over does the caramel which over powers the coffee, but it was so subtly sweetened with caramel, I absolutely love it. Will definitely be back during our stay at Seattle. read more

Fred Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My go to neighborhood coffee spot. I live a couple blocks from the location on Roosevelt way. Currently they are only open for to go orders. They take the safety of their staff and customers very seriously which I appreciate. They sell beans, french presses and filters for people to brew coffee at home. They support Black Lives Matter which I also appreciate. Broadcast serves great coffee. I'll admit I'm very straightforward when it comes to how I like my coffee-just black, drip coffee, and if it's good, I don't need to add anything. Broadcast serves the coffee I need. I've ordered the matcha lattes and chai on occasion which are yummy but a little too sweet for my taste. Broadcast also serves Sunrise breakfast tacos which are delicious . Two of them are enough for a substantial, healthy breakfast that isn't super pricy. I will continue supporting Broadcast and am grateful to live so close by, especially since I am working at home for the time being. read more

Easily some of the best coffee I've ever had, and not just in Seattle. Mocha latte with oat milk. I was able to get this one free, courtesy of our building's leasing agents. I had to double check (as I'm from CA and we don't get jack for free, or if we do it's the smallest size) so I asked if I could get anything, any size? To which my barista cheekily responded, "That's how it works". read more

Fred Coffee - Mocha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love this place. If you're looking for good coffee and a spot to enjoy a rainy day or just work. Read for a bit, this location of Broadcast is great. Their coffee is great obviously (their "sweater weather" fall late is so much better than your typical PSL) and folks are friendly. One of my faves! read more

This is for my only visit back on 5/21/14. Figured time to check it out since I've heard of the other locations at Capitol Hill and the Central District. Pros: decent service, excellent coffee and cookies, bright airy, modern interior Broadcast is definitely a contrast to other nearby indie shops like Bus Stop and Wayward Coffeehouse. Cons: a bit too quiet with a lot of people there with their laptops, parking along Roosevelt a bit of a challenge with all the construction nearby. read more

Delightful coffee shop. Just the right touch on everything to make this location be an oasis -- angular brass hanging lamps, brushed stained wood, range of seating options. read more

Fred Coffee - Almond croissant and cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stumbled across this neighborhood coffee shop while yelping for coffee spots near my work. They use a La Marzocco espresso machine which I love. They also make their own vanilla syrup. Which is quite impressive since most places just buy it from the store. The store itself is simple and big. I love the large windows since it allows a lot of natural sunlight to come in. There's plenty of seating and also an area that looks like it's meant for people to study in or work. It's on the pricier side, but what isn't pricey these days? You gotta pay some bucks for quality crafted items and I'm willing to for a delicious cup of coffee. read more

I recently moved to the area and have been taking walks every morning to different coffee shops in the area. There's a surprising amount for Seattle yet none have compared to Broadcast. I love the homemade syrups (cardamom being my favorite) and the unique drink combinations they come up with for their specials. I appreciate they use bigger cups in their iced beverages so you're truly getting the ounces you pay for rather than just paying for ice. The inside is nice as well with a large amount of seating, big tables, and tons of natural light making it a great place to read a book or complete some work! read more

This place should be BROADCASTED more (get it...?) Broadcast Coffee in Roosevelt is a very spacious and urban coffee shop: - Lots of seating, they have a lot of bigger tables for bigger groups - Good selection of teas and coffees to help energize your work/study session - Ambience is very calming and productive, it might be the wooden tables and white walls tbh lmao - The cappuccino I ordered was very good. Not gonna lie tho, it gave me quite the energy burst... :D - Parking is street parking with lots of residential parking nearby Overall, this is a very clean/aesthetic coffee shop! Yours truly, Seb Eats read more

I come here regularly to work and just get a drip coffee black. People who work here are friendly, they can get a little backed up in the mornings since often it is only 1 person behind the counter. My girlfriend loves their London Fog so the 5th star is for that because she is picky and always seems happy with how it's made. The large tables have a library vibe that I enjoy. read more

Overall, I had a good experience here.. I got a vanilla latte and it was great. Not too sweet and with 2 shots, it was perfect. It wasn't packed at all when I went (Sunday afternoon) so I had no problem finding an area to spread out my things. The music was bit loud. I could still here it with my Beats on . Not sure if the barista on was just tired or ready to close early, but she was definitely "short" and was not trying to have any sort of small talk or conversation... Kinda sucks, because it was a huge turn off! I get it (kind of). The shop closes at 8, so with people coming in when you're trying to clean up is annoying... But again, the shop closes at 8. Looking forward to trying something different next time! read more

Fred Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The coffee is superb and the atmosphere is cozy. I ordered a seasonal flapjack latte and it was by far one of the best seasonal lattes I have tried at a coffee shop. The baristas are super friendly which is a huge plus. I wish I lived closer, because I would be here every day! read more

I swear by the iced matcha. No where will ever compare. It's so good, I ordered a pound bag from their supplier because I refuse to go back to any other matcha. I get it with oat milk and either raw sugar or honey for a sweeter taste. Trust me, it's worth it to travel here just for the iced matcha :) read more

This space is very modern and minimalist. Lots of tables but it does get crowded since lots of students come here to study and finish homework. Located in Ravenna, it does get crowded but worth checking out if you need a cup of coffee. I believe they give each customer a WiFi-code but it only lasts 1-2 hours. read more

Love the ambiance here, and only a short walk from my apt too. Coffee is decent and the lattes are at a slightly more reasonable price point than most other cafes in Seattle. Update: Came back and had the brogia with oat milk. Incredible. Tastes like those orange Milano cookies in a cup. Brought the 4 star review up to a 5 star. read more

Broadcast does their own roast and they know their shit! Much to my surprise, I had the best iced hemp latte here. In my usual unhealthy, obsessive fashion, I have been non-stop thinking about their coffee since the day I had it. My throat experienced heights of pleasure that no penis has done for me before. It's a ground-breaking miracle! I can't speak for the regular lattes because cow's milk is a liquid toxin to my stomach and an affront to humankind. You know what else would be better than cow's milk? Literally drinking anything else. Even Sunny Delight. And Michael Phelp's pee. The vibe is endearing in a strange way. This is the type of venue someone with a hundred tattoos goes to only play Nirvana covers sporting a freakishly large amount of nipple hair. The password for the wifi is "discopony." I think that's all that needs to be said. read more

Fred Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cozy coffee shop alert!! Nestled in the heart of Roosevelt, this spot is a neighborhood staple. It's spacious with plenty of long tables / outlets to power your work grind, and the drinks are delicious. The matcha is typically my go-to, but I'm now making my way through the list of fall specials (the hot cider with extra cinny is a winner)!!! read more

Backed into this coffee house after having lunch nearby. As we were looking at the menu board, the batista was very pleasant and was kind in describing the different and unique drink names on their board. We ended up with one that was not on their board which was the disco pony. I am glad that we spoke with her as she guided us to a drink close to the "fog" that we have had in downtown Sesttle. Very refreshing and light as it had Perrier mixed in with the shot of espresso. We will be back when we are in the neighborhood! read more

Fred Coffee - Disco pony - espresso, Perrier, half n half, and lemon twist over ice. Nice creative drinks! This one is not on their menu board. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered the Caramella, one of their specialty drinks. It came with a pretty latte art, but the coffee was almost tasteless. It tasted water down, and the caramel added a sour after taste. They do the 2 hour wifi voucher thing which comes in a piece of paper with different letter code. I typically go to local coffee shops like this on the weekend, expect decent wifi, and plan to stay longer than 2 hours. I ended up forcing myself to buy something else here just to get an hour more of wifi, really annoying! It's spacious and has some decent decor pieces in here, but there are things to improve! Many would argue that to use their wifi, how much time is reasonable for a $5 purchase. Having decent speed & free wifi should be a basic minimum requirement, and it shouldn't be so limited. Although I respect the owner and how they run their business, I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Love!!! Bright, clean , spacious and with minimalist decors in coffee shops are totally my thing. Love the glass everywhere! Lights! bright furniture ( but not colors). Looking for a simple menu of coffee, espresso and maybe a few tea + miscellaneous such as hot chocolate or Italian soda? Maybe some sweets? They have it all. A great place for afternoon coffee, even better for working/studying. The lights, the quietness. It's pretty relaxing. I came by since I was in the area. Free parking on the other street doesn't hurt. Plenty of chairs and tables. So spacious! I could've stayed for a while!! My cappuccino was made with measurements and a little scale. Barista was friendly. I could have used a little stronger/darker roast for my cappuccino. I believe she may have used whole milk in mine? Still love it! The Italian sodas here are so pretty too! Cant wait to come back and sip on coffee or work from here! Oh and they send you coupons via email!!! read more

What a great place to come study or get some work done. Spotlessly clean, full of light, spacious and comfortable. On one side they have long tables (looks like a library) with lamps and outlets which would be perfect for study groups and on the other side they have more cafe like seating. This place is also calm and relaxing, and even though it was quite busy everyone was working on their own thing. We got a fresh orange juice and a chai. Both were good. Totally recommend checking this place out as a study option. They have wifi too. read more

This place is surprisingly not super well known yet, but is one of my favorites! They have a drip coffee option with unlimited refills so I love spending a couple hours working in the cafe. Food is pretty good - I usually opt for a mighty-o donut. If you're not headed in the direction of Green Lake it's a little bit out of the way from downtown, but it's worth the trek! The decor is beautiful and has tons of light if you need to get some studying done. read more

Fred Coffee - Broadcast coffee decor - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The coffee is fabulous and worth dealing with no parking in the neighborhood as long as you twenty minutes to wait for a drink.

UPDATE: This used to be a 5 star review but I had to deduct because of the new WiFi. So many websites are blocked- my hospital's website, my work email, Yelp, university websites, the New York Times. Seems random but it's a huge inconvenience when I am trying to get work done there. - - - - - - - I love this place. It's my favorite coffee in the neighborhood. I typically get an iced almond milk latte or cold brew and both are good. The baristas are friendly and efficient. My favorite thing about this coffee shop is the environment- I typically look for a coffee shop with a minimal, clean line, Scandinavian kind of vibe, big windows, soft lighting, open space, tables for doing work, outlets, and quiet, respectful clientele. This fits the bill. I go here to catch up with friends or get work done. I anticipate I'll be a regular here. Thanks Broadcast! read more

I had a very strong first impression of Broadcast Coffee Roasters on Roosevelt Way. It's a big airy, open, and bright space, a pretty minimal concept and really pretty minimal-modern artwork (not sure that's really a thing, but that's what it looks like!). There was a good variety of seating choices: a bench along one wall and counter in the window, the middle was more normal cafe and then the other side and set back a bit were three large library-type tables. A good amount of outlets to be found and free wifi that is working pretty well right now. The staff was very friendly and took the time to talk about their coffee and concept when I made comments. Prices were average. The espresso had a pleasant acidity to it that was well-balanced with roasty chocolate notes, so the acidity had a welcome taste. I had a drip refill and found a similar quality in the taste. I'm really liking this coffee. I had a basic breakfast sandwich: ham, bacon and egg. I think it was on a sourdough rye bread, obviously from a good bakery and a bit healthier of an option. The sandwich was a bit small and clean, which I liked since I'm trying not to overdo it, but if you're looking for a greasy sausage and bread that will dissolve into your bloodstream in .01 seconds, you'll have to look elsewhere. I would recommend the nearby Wayward Vegan Cafe for something in between. Anyway, this place is a winner. I was only stopping here because I had a meeting here nearby but already am considering returning for a few more hours. The closest parking is 4 hour max pay parking on the street. There is time-limited free parking on surrounding blocks and some free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood if you don't mind a little walk. read more

Went here to study on the weekend and while the coffee and service is still great, there is a limit on wifi. They give you a wifi voucher for each purchase you make (good for 2 hrs) and in order to get another 2 hrs of wifi, you have to make another purchase. Not a good place to study on the weekends if you're looking to hunker down and grind but weekdays I believe there is no voucher system. A bit disappointing. read more

Stopped in to escape the traffic, and I will be coming back! Drinks: Great chai for me and my coworker got a fancy looking macchiato. Ambiance: modern, open, fresh. Unfortunately it echoes like a mofo. Between the two women chatting, the two baristas chatting and the grinder, it doesn't have a peaceful coffee shop vibe (unless you're in here alone). Have to take off a star for the noise issue. Service: friendly, helpful and attentive. Good latte art too! I'll definitely come back here for drinks and conversation, but probably not when I need to work. read more

Oh look, yet another coffee place closely to try out. In a city with an overabundance of such places, it has to stand out. Sadly, this one doesn't. Inside, it has a clean almost sterile interior. The snack selection is spartan, and the coffee is pricier than most other places, and really no better. For a snack, I tried a lemon lavender coffee cake. It was nice, but not spectacular. The lavender came through but it was a little dry. I probably won't be back since there are a few places within walking distance that are both better and cheaper. read more

Fast service, good atmosphere, and the cruffins are to die for. Try the disco pony, it's one of my favorite espresso drinks of all time now

During the day, this place soaks in a ton of natural daylight. Great place to read a book or get some work done. The coffee is great, and their loose leaf teas are wonderful. You can get a cup or even a pot of tea. They'll also top you up with hot water for free refills. Their A/C is pretty strong, so it's a boon during the summer. But if you tend to be cold often, plan on bringing an extra sweater to stay comfortable. The locked bathroom is clean and you can help yourself to the key nearby. Bonus: Apparently, Seattle has more dogs than children. Having an abundance of large windows, you'll be able to watch people walking their doggos on your next sip of coffee here. read more

In writing this review I am debating between 3 and 4 stars. I would say it is more like 3.5 stars but I will leave it it here for now. I reserve reserve the right to bump up rating at a later time. So with that being said let's go with a simple review template: Pros: This place is new, and I do mean brand new. So it is naturally clean and has that new building smell. I also really love the industrial look inside. Certainly Certainly a different vibe than what you usually get in Seattle. They also have their own way of doing things such as serving iced tea in a mason jar. All that with a staff that is always frindly. Finally the location is great. Right in the middle of the Roosevelt neighborhood. Cons: It could be because it is so knew but the place lacks character. Not in a Starbucks corporate type of way but more of a minimalist sort of way. It needs art on the walls, a comfortable couch and maybe some articles about the shop. But they are still knew so this will come In time. They also seem to have very limited offerings outside of coffees and teas. More pastries guys. Overall: A great addition to the Roosevelt neighborhood. Solid opening and I'm guessing they will only improve with time. Until then they aren't my first choice in the neighborhood, but I will certainly stop by from time to time if I'm shopping in the area. read more

I came here on the first day I flew in to Seattle. I had my luggage with me (because I was moving in to an apartment nearby) and I was exhausted. I ordered an iced latte and received my 2-hr wifi voucher along with it. The coffee was good, nothing special though in my opinion. After having moved in and settled at school for a few weeks I decided to come back because I found it a nice atmosphere to study in. I went in and found a spot and settled and began working. I didn't need wifi so I didn't order anything. About 30 minutes in an employee confronts me asking if I want anything to drink. (Don't you think if I wanted something I would have ordered something?) I kindly responded no thank you and she went on to say that they "ask" that people purchase something if they're going to be here. I, again, kindly responded okay, thank you. After that, I packed up my things and left. I'm left a bit confused and upset. I just wanted to study somewhere other than my little apartment and I guess I chose the wrong place. All these restrictions they place on you makes it an unpleasant experience in my opinion, it's not inviting at all. Let alone the employees look unhappy too. I get it though, you set up this nice and inviting location but it can only be enjoyed under your terms and conditions. So be it. I wish the best for people that enjoy this place! You keep doing you read more

If this coffee house isn't the epitome of Pinterest, then I don't know what is. I went to their Ravenna location. I love bright, open coffee houses and this one surely is that. There is a study section in back with long tables, two tops, tables, and they also have a window-facing bar. The baristas were really sweet, and explained all of their signature drinks to me. I tried my first mezzo there - an americano with steamed milk, (similar to that of a cafe au lait but with espresso). I bought their travel mug for $22 and it included a free drink. Their iced latte is amazing and doesn't need any sweetener because their beans have slight berry notes. This will become a place I frequent when I am in Seattle! read more

We came here 1/21/23 around 8:45am to grab a quick bite to kill some time. The barista who took our order was not friendly AT ALL. You could tell he did not want to be there. After receiving our pastries, we sat down in a small corner and I ended up needing to take a quick phone call. There was a quick moment where I needed to put the call on speaker so I could hear better. The male barista proceeded to scream at us from ACROSS THE CAFE to turn off our speaker setting in front of a bunch of people/customer. Regardless of how loud it was, it could've been handled differently. The male barista could have approached us privately or simply could have just waited patiently as the call lasted no more than 25 seconds. Aside from it being completely humiliating, yelling at someone to turn something down is beyond rude. I used to work in a cafe as well and I can not ever imagine yelling at one of our customers to lower the volume of their phone call in a cafe full of people. REMINDER BEFORE YOU YELL AT SOMEONE WHO HAS THEIR SPEAKERPHONE ON: You don't know what that person is dealing with or the type of disabilities they may have that may prevent them from hearing well. read more

Experienced real friendly and helpful customer service here, today. -- I didn't catch his name but he offered suggestions, didn't rush our group in deciding and was very attentive throughout our visit. He was very knowledgable about what flavors go well together and what pairs well with the coffee. I ordered a con panna with cinnamon + seltzer water. It was served on a black wooden plank which enhanced the experience and helped to tie in the modern ambiance and it was perfect. Check out the special drinks. They had a "purple pony" on special today which included: Cold brew, sparkling water, blueberry lavender and lemon zest. There was a lot of seating available. It seems like a good place to study or read, as it was pretty low-key and respectably quiet but comfortable. They had a good selection of unique baked items and also sell mighty-o doughnuts! We stopped in quickly for a post-dinner coffee. We will be back! Thanks for the great experience BCR ! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops to study at. There are plenty of tables and lighting, and the music is quiet and chill. A heads up...the internet can be very slow at times. I'm a big fan of their coffee (great flavor). Delicious when paired with a mighty-o-doughnut. More expensive than Starbucks, but definitely worth it. They have a great tea selection and you can refill your pot with hot water at no cost. If you sign up for their emailing list, they send you coupon codes every month which is a great perk. read more
