Such a cool & unique a vibe. First of all, the SPACE. It's like enormous for a coffee shop, which is a gift if you're someone who needs room to spread out a laptop, a journal, maybe some crafts and snacks while you work. Love a coffee spot that doesn't feel like you're sharing a table with a stranger's elbow. The drinks are creative and delicious. The service was fast and the barista was incredibly kind, patient even when I took way too long deciding (classic Libra). This is a Seattle gem and I will be returning whenever I find myself in the neighborhood! read more

Maybe if the barista spent a little less time flirting the entire twenty minutes I was waiting for my order, he would have remembered to take the tomato out of my sandwich which I specifically asked for. And he didn't even seem to care about the mistake when he served it to me making it seem like I would be an inconvenience and wasteful for asking for it to be remade. He didn't even turn away from the girl he'd been flirting with who was blocking the pick up bar and my sandwich. And after having spent twenty minutes waiting already, I didn't want to spend twenty minutes more being a bystander to his nauseating attempts at trying to appeal to her. For the twenty dollars I paid for my sandwich + drink , this is downright abysmal service. Not to mention picking out the tomato completely ruined my manicure with the pesto, so what was even the point of tipping an extra five dollars on top of that for them to do it for me. I had loved this place the last few times I dropped in to work but I'm never coming back here after this terrible experience. read more

Had a delicious coffee and breakfast burrito here this morning! I had the veggie burrito (vegan)! It was piping hot and very fresh. Everything was well seasoned and it was a good portion! My coffee was a regular vanilla latte that was incredible, i wished I had gotten a large! The barista was very polite and personable. The space itself is spacious and very cute. Lots of seating for both individuals and large groups, inside and outside. Very cozy place to hang out. It's getting a 4 instead of 5 for me because I felt it was a little expensive for what I got. read more

Came here for a work-related meeting and needed a cafe open in the evening. This was a great choice. Although they have limited snack/food options, there is a parking lot within walking distance, which is important in Capitol Hill. It's a pretty large space and big enough to work. I came on a Friday and it seems they also use the space to show projected movies, in the back. I found that cool and the noise did not impact work conversation. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Very spacious cafe! Perfect place to work and it seems they also have a coworking model, so even better! Lots of plugs and different seating options. We got the salted maple and brown sugar rosemary lattes and they were delicious! Oat milk was steamed to perfection. Love that they make their syrups in house. The staff seemed cool. read more

Coffee Crawl is in Seattle for this month and next month. To no ones surprise, I am participating. My first visit was to Gearhouse. They offer so many community building activities (trivia nights, board game nights, walk & talk mornings) and equipment rentals for your outdoor adventures. They have a substantial food and drink menu. I went with something off their fall menu. There are three different fall specialty drinks. It was nice they included a stroopwaffle with each drink off the fall menu. There's lots of space for working here which is lovely and not the case in all Seattle coffee shops. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and inclusive. The maple sea salt latte was a subtle flavoring profile, but still gave the aforementioned flavor. If you like super sweet, I would go with extra flavoring. Overall, I would love to go back and try other things on their menu. read more

Overall a pretty cool concept and very comfortable place to enjoy a coffee, read or work. There is a variety seating options at Gearhouse Coffee eg Booths, tables and comfy chairs. There is also a wall with books however I did not check it out, so I'm not sure if it was like an honor library or books for sale. I just really like the ambience of the interior. There are a variety of coffee and tea options and also some pastries. We got there about an hour before closing and looked like most of the pastries were sold out. The pastries I saw were by sea wolf, which is delicious bakery. I ordered a tea and it was piping hot. There's an area for sugars, however there are no milk carafes out. You have to ask the barista if you need milk. The tea blend was quite good. It looks like they rent out outdoor gear which adds to the vibe of this shop. I definitely go back read more

Overall, a solid 3. Not bad, but I wouldn't be inclined to come again. There are a ton of benches, tables, couches, etc. inside, and plenty of room. Unfortunately, the breakfast burrito was pretty bland, the flat white was more like a latte (super foamy), and the baristas were a little rude. read more

I randomly stopped by Gearhouse Coffee Shop in Seattle around 6 pm and honestly did not expect it to be this lively on a Wednesday evening. The place was packed as they were having a board-game night. It was actually really fun to see everyone was into their games, chatting, laughing, just super good vibes. I ordered a lavender latte and it was amazing. What really stood out is that this place is way more than just a typical coffee shop. It feels like a community spot, the kind of place designed for people to hang out, meet others, study, or just do their own thing. I noticed they seem to offer memberships and different activities, which I'm definitely planning to check out next time. If you're in the area and want great coffee & a genuinely warm, community-driven atmosphere, definitely check this place out. read more

Just such a bummer to have experienced the customer service here as many times as I did because the place is actually so cool. It's spacious, well lit, and welcomes workers / students but the people who make the coffee are sooo insanely miserable. I'm so over it and I'm not coming back. It's specifically the shorter bigger person with a bald head and earrings that just is so unpleasant to order from or ask any type of question to. They made me feel so dumb bc I ordered a breakfast sandwich and didn't grab it when a "vegan sandwich" was called out not realizing it was the same thing. I sincerely do not recommend spending $ where employees can't converse or be nice. It's not just the person I described but almost everyone I've encountered cannot even say hi without making a face. Oh and the sandwich tasted like nothing but the coffee was good. read more

Coffeehouse/cafe with a cool vibe, with a limited menu of food but a wide range of coffee and other drinks, including local beers. Enjoyed their sausage egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich which was premade but livened up on the panini grill. Their chocolate croissant was delicious warmed up. The Americano was high quality as was the iced ube latte. Service was friendly and pretty efficient too read more

Super cute spot with a great community vibe. The mocha and latte were solid, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It's more than just a cafe, they have board games and host cool outdoor adventure events and gear workshops. Perfect place to hang out or plan your next trip. read more

I just got a nice refreshing tea which was good enough for tea but we were there to study and it was a great place to do that. Great vibes, and a really cool concept of being an outdoors community space too. read more

basecamp is such a cool concept that combines a cafe and outdoor gear rentals. they also host group outings in the outdoors! the barista was so nice in helping me order and serving me when i came in. i ordered an espresso with sparking water while my friend ordered an ube matcha. the espresso was quite sour whereas the ube and matcha flavor was not present in my friends drink. if i came back, i would definitely try something more tame such as a latte as they look good!! this space offers great opportunities to be outside as well as a space to work but it does get quite crowded. **the wifi will be on your receipt so remember to ask for it and is only valid for 4 hours as well read more

Super cute little cafe! Came here to do a little reading in the evening. They didn't have any baked goods (but we came later in the day), so I ended up getting their house made lemonade which was pretty refreshing. They offer burritos and a nice size coffee menu. Lots of seating inside and a really cool spot if you're looking for local and outdoorsy things to do! Looks like a wonderful place to meet new people! read more

Such a cool place!! The only downside is I never came sooner. I've been seeing signs for this place and finally decided to visit and it is such a cool concept. A gear rental place/lounge/cafe. Came to study and it was absolutely packed. Luckily there's a lot of space and seats and outlet. I got a lavender latte and I'm obsessed! Usually lavender lattes are too subtle and not very flavorful but this one had such a strong lavender flavor it was perfect. They also play great music and the overall vibes there are pretty nice read more

Spacious and nice ambiance but the coffee was a bit disappointing. Compared to other coffee shops the price was slightly higher yet my coffee tasted a bit burned. Just didn't have that great taste I expect from a well-made latte. Also, it turned bubbly (not foamy) couple of minutes after I received it. Bummer since the service was good! The space is cool and would make a good place to meet up with friends or to get work done. This cafe seems best for the people who joined their program and for those looking for nice aesthetics. read more

I've been to basecamp on two separate occasions and both times it's been packed and lively! It's a true third space location -- there was even a poetry group meeting at the table next to me. They also host numerous events and the last time I went was their trivia night! I would say to be mindful of their calendar of events since it got pretty loud as I was studying. You can also rent gear here which is pretty cool :) I ordered an iced caramel macchiato ($7.17) and it was really good!! They also have beer on tap which gives variety to the usual coffee and tea found at cafes. Also I thought the workers here were really friendly! They're located right in cap hill and I love that they're one of the few cafes open so late (7pm-9pm depending on the day). Also there's tons of seating even with how packed it gets! read more

I don't have a pleasant experience overall after few times visit, a few times because I just live 50 feet from this coffee shop. I love the concept of it though and apparently they organize lots of fun events for the community. But, I don't feel too welcomed as a customer and I say thank you many times, after I paid, after I got the coffee/food, but always, no response from the staffs. Also 4 hours free WiFi only if you make the order doesn't sound too bummer but I just think they are a lots of better options nearby. read more

What a cozy café with delicious high-quality coffee, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The space is huge! Lots of seating, perfect place to read, work, hangout, relax, play some board games. They serve specialty drinks like espresso-based beverages, pour-overs, and cold brews, along with locally sourced pastries. This is a Perfect space for outdoorsy lovers and cafe lovers. read more

Stopped by Basecamp Coffee today and ordered a 12 oz iced latte and a dirty chai. The total came out to $16, which felt steep given the taste. Unfortunately, the drinks were nothing to write home about At this price point, I expected something more enjoyable. Additionally, the barista taking our order was constantly playing with her hair, which was unappealing and didn't give the best impression of cleanliness. There are far better coffee shops in the area, in my opinion, but I wanted to try this one given all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype, and I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Basecamp is a super cute coffee shop with great vibes! It is located close to the cap hill link station, making it a convenient place to stop by. I really like the ambiance of this cafe, it feels very cozy and is great for studying, catching up with friends, or playing games with friends (they have a great collection of board games!) It can get pretty crowded but the cafe is relatively large so I haven't struggled to find a place to sit yet. Their drinks are good, nothing special, but I will be back again for the vibes! read more

This place is so spacious, clean and cozy, which is a very rare find in the metropolitan area. Even though I knew non-members could come here, I didn't for the longest time thinking that it was mostly for people into sports. The majority of patrons during the day are just coffee-loving people trying to get work done, so it stays very quiet. The tables and booths are huge so you never have to worry about feeling cramped. Also, their honey lavender latte is really good. read more

The coffee is delicious and reasonably priced (a lot cheaper than the rest of Seattle). Plenty of inside seating and room. People are so nice and friendly. If you're looking for a community of outdoorsy coffee lovers, Basecamp will be granola heaven. Also. CONGRATS to Gearhouse for expanding and growing!! I remember going to your flagship and the story of your humble beginnings. I'll be coming here every day in June. (But for real tho) read more

Very cute, spacious, and comfortable outdoor themed cafe with lots of inside and natural lighting. We wanted to find a place to concentrate to plan our future trips. This place is a perfect place to study, chill, or do any work. The service here is so attentive as they noticed we were struggling to connect to the WIFI, so they offered us their employee WIFI. The booths have charging outlets that are underneath the seats. They weren't working when we were there, but this place is still new so they'll get it fixed. I believe that our neighbors booth's charging station was working for them, just not ours. There's an area in the back where you can rent any outdoor gears here and join Gearhouse if you're wanting to dive into a new sport or find a community of adventurous people. Also, they have all sorts of drinks provided here other than coffee such as kombucha and beer. There's street parking around here if you can find a spot. You can also order your coffee to-go, but since we were staying here to do work we didn't get to-go. We saw that there was a dog inside sitting at the booth, so next time we'll definitely try bringing our dog here! :) Ice caramel macchiato - We got their version of iced caramel macchiato, which they asked us from the very beginning if we wanted it Starbucks's style. We said yes! :) The coffee was so yummy, well-balanced, light, not too sweet, and creamy. We'll definitely be back here and can't wait to try their other drinks! read more

Had a brown sugar rosemary latte, it was delicious. Price is a little steep, $9+ and they don't accept cash so I took off a half star for each of those. The place is cozy and the barista this morning (May 19) was great! ETA: Almost all other businesses in the area accept cash and haven't had any issues with break ins so I'm not buying that as an excuse. Also, doesn't matter why your lattes are $9+, they're still $9+. Removing another star due to the excuses being made. read more

An urban coffee shop close by the light rail, with big open windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The shop itself harbors a cozy, outdoorsy atmosphere. The barista at the front was very sweet (did you know the light rail travels underwater during part of the route??) and the other staff seemed to be just a friendly. Plenty of seating w/outlets and the atmosphere was fairly quiet. The coffee itself wasn't anything crazy, just had a cold brew coffee and it was exactly what I expected. The menu items and their corresponding prices were also pretty standard. A cool feature of the coffee shop is a membership system where patrons get discounts on drinks and can attend group socials. I didn't personally sign up but I thought it was a cool feature Id share :). read more

I ordered a macchiato and chocolate croissant. The macchiato is a true Italian macchiato. However, if you like the Starbucks version they can make you one. The croissant was really good. I got mine slightly warmed and it was perfect. This is an ideal spot to study and get work done. There's ample seating and chargers. Had a great time here. read more

They also seem to serve food all day, so I also had a breakfast burrito at 7pm. Came for silent book club Capitol Hill but I'd definitely return to do some work or reading some time. read more

Basecamp Café Looking for a super cool café that also serves kombucha and local beer? Check out Basecamp Cafe on Capital Hill! Just off Broadway, Basecamp newly opened last month. A fantastic place to get some work done or get together with friends and check out the outing events or just catch up with a drink. I'm not a member? That's okay, you don't need to be to check out the café/bar. But if you are interested in this gear sharing, outdoor adventure time with friends (or making friends) then this is the place for you. Events are posted on the wall and on their website: https://www.joingearhouse.com/ . I love this concept, expecially here in the PNW. The Drink Menu is very straight forward. Coffee and Teas ranging from $3- $5. While local beers that rotate are $7. Kombucha is $6. If you remember to bring your own cup for a $0.25 discount. Best part is that they're open Monday - Friday: 8AM-8AM and Sunday & Saturday: 7AM - 7AM. Check them out if you're in the area and need a place to chill or to check out their events! read more

Love love love everything about this cafe! I stop by every time I'm in Seattle. The ambiance is lively and friendly, the baristas are phenomenal and so kind. I usually go there to work but its easy to get caught up in conversations about outdoor adventures and gear, or distracted by the adventure books and maps in their library. The design of the whole place is such a fun vibe, and you can tell they really worked hard on the details that make it special. Stop by and try their house-made syrups! I usually order my latte's plain, but not here. The rosemary brown sugar syrup is to die for. They also have a small food menu so if you're hitting this place before a hike, you can get a yummy breakfast burrito and a pastry to go! read more

Pretty good coffee although not better than what we brew at home with our own espresso machine But y know when you sometimes just want to sit down and not be at home in a morning, maybe meet some friends, read a book.

Cozy cafe with plenty of seating! I tried the rosemary latte which was okay. I didn't really pick up on the rosemary note and it was a little sweet for my taste. The blueberry scone on the other hand was great! It's softer than a classic crumbly scone but I still really enjoyed it. The staff here are super friendly and I'd definitely come back to try another drink, explore more of their baked goods, and maybe check out their happy hour (they've got beers on tap!) read more

Found this place on Yelp, it was close walking range from our airbnb and I am so glad I did!

I love the concept of Basecamp!! You can rent gear and get coffee, at the same time! And, they have tiers of memberships where your coffee/gear is included or discounted. The owner, Evan, works hard to create an outdoor community and listen to feedback to make it even better. The staff is friendly and tons of outlets to work. There's booths, tables, and couches so it's pretty easy to find a place to sit but it's usually busy so at peak times, you might have to share. read more
