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.
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.
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
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.
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
I've come here a couple times to WFH out of the house. There's lots of seating options but it can get busy! It's a great concept bringing the outdoors indoor and great reading material around the room. Coffee and my food was great! Will be back.
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
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!
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.
Bright and open cafe with a strong sense of community. There are a lot of tables and seating area where people were working or chatting and there were a lot of flyers and information about gear rentals and events at the cafe itself. I just stopped by for a quick espresso (which was good) but I'm looking forward to coming back
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!
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.
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.
Reviews are largely positive. People enjoy the cozy, spacious atmosphere, creative specialty drinks, and work-friendly environment. Staff are often described as friendly, though some report slow or inattentive service.

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

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

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

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

This place is a really cute spot to do work or read or meet up! They have lots of space and it seems they also have outdoorsy clubs and equipment rental too from the space. The baristas were kind and able to do a decaf latte for me since I came in the evening, but wanted to try the seasonal lavender latte special. 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

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. The ambiance is very relaxing. We also had both burritos. Sunrise is better imo. Mushy potatoes plus cheese melt is 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

Found this place on Yelp, it was close walking range from our airbnb and I am so glad I did! The classic coffee cafe vibes are paired with an adventurous side with all of their camping gear, it's a perfect place for on the go coffee or just to sit down and relax or do some work. The baristas are super friendly as well, overall, great vibes and drinks! read more

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
