A weird little place at the bottom of a hill near the gum wall. You order at the window and wait until they bring you the coffee. Used to be able to go inside but that ended with Covid. Have the usual coffee thanks and can customize your order. I had a vanilla latte and it was very good! read more

Such a cool little coffee spot! I absolutely loved the vibe here--the creepy, quirky decor gives the whole place so much personality and made it feel like more than just a quick coffee stop. It's tucked away in such a fun location near Pike Place and definitely feels like a little hidden gem. The coffee was really good, and everyone working was super friendly and welcoming. Between the atmosphere, the decor, and the great coffee, I'm really glad we stopped by. Definitely worth checking out if you like unique coffee shops with a little character! read more

One of the most popular coffee shops you'll see folks walking around pike place with (other than Starbucks). It's down by the gum wall in the alley. As hipster as it gets. I ordered one of their popular lattes while my friend got a flat white. Really quick if they aren't busy. Friendly service too. My latte was okay. The milk was over steamed but my friend's flat white was solid! I'd probably get that next time. Are they overhyped since they're by Pike Place? Yup! But I'll still go lol read more

We randomly came across this little coffee shop while exploring Pike Place Market and we are SO glad we did! We tried the mystery flavor, which ended up being a banana latte and it was actually so yummy! If you're in the area, definitely stop by and check it out. They're right next to the famous Gum Wall and they even sell gum! Ps. There is no seating, just go to the window & order! read more

The overall ambience and vibes are truly unmatched and make this worthstopping by. The line moves quickly and the staff are very friendly. However, the actual coffee was uneventful and unexciting. I've always heard that Seattle is a big coffee city and I have been sadly unimpressed. It's def worth going to check out with the gum wall being so close by (they sell gum too at the counter)but it won't knock your socks off. read more

This well known coffee shop is next to gym alley and definitely gives off the Seattle hipster vibes in the best way possible. With your standard coffee as well as more specialized and seasonal flavors, this one has something for everyone. Service was friendly and he brought out our drinks directly to each patron which felt like it had this more specialized personal touch to it. Overall, you definitely need to make your way out here, even for just the culture of it all! read more

Amazing coffee in a quirky little spot! I go with iced coffee 90% of the time, and this time was no different. The espresso here is STRONG, but so smooth and not bitter at all. I absolutely loved my drink and came here twice during my short stay in Seattle. My friend wasn't as big of a fan, but she openly admits the espresso is super smooth, she just prefers more flavor and less espresso. read more

Very cool spot tucked away in a dark alley in the pike place market. I can confidently say I have never seen a coffee spot like this one, and I don't think I ever will again! Very original. I loved how they had their own homemade syrups and great options for milk. The second I see macadamia milk on the menu, I know I'm in the right spot. I opted for a large latte with macadamia milk and half pumps of homemade blackberry syrup and homemade cheesecake syrup. The result was a very smooth and delicious beverage. Little did I know that this beverage would pair incredibly with donuts from a hop and a skip down the coffee shop! Seattle is so cool!! I don't think you could ever go wrong with anything on their menu here. Service was quick and I really enjoyed my coffee! read more

Visiting for a conference and decided to walk down to Pike's to enjoy the morning market. Stopped at Ghost Alley Espresso, located near the famous Gum Wall. Long line formed but received an Americano quickly and piping hot! Had fun vibes and cool location. Menu was fairly standard with all the normal coffee options. Probably should've tried their dark roast drip coffee but enjoyed the americano as I walked around Pike's Place. read more

During my recent Seattle vacation, I decided to try Ghost Alley Espresso. I read about their Salty Nut Latte, which is their specialty. It has applewood sea salt, hazelnut, and caramel. I ordered it hot, and it tasted so good. The flavors really blended well together. The latte had a strong espresso flavor but was still very creamy and slightly sweet. The man who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. As I looked over the menu, he was happy to answer my questions. Although I already knew I wanted the Salty Nut Latte, I was tempted to try some of the other flavors, like the mocha latte. The shop is located right next to the Gum Wall on Post Alley and has spooky decorations that match its name. I definitely recommend trying this place if you're in Seattle. read more

Ghost Alley Espresso was one of our favorite coffee stops on our Seattle trip, and it's certainly worth going down the alley to find! This place is a no-frills walk-up window serving up speciality drinks and amazing espresso. My wife ordered the banana latte and loved it. It was very well balanced. I ordered an espresso shot, and it was one of the best of our trip. Only second to Anchorhead. While you're down checking out the Gum Wall, be sure to check out Ghost Alley Espresso. This is a great way to start your day, adventuring through Pike Place Market. There isn't anywhere to sit, but the friendly staff will hook you up with scumotious coffee to power you through the rest of the market. Don't forget to soak in the spooky vibes as you truly won't find anywhere like Ghost Alley Espresso in Seattle! Cheers. read more

Ghost Alley Espresso - Ashen Rose Latte & Salty Nut Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ghost Alley espresso is an iconic spot in Seattle in the pike place market next to the gum wall. Literally next to it. It's literally in the alleyway and is a hole in the wall. Fully outdoors (albeit covered) and no seating. There is one employee who does everything from taking the order to making your coffee to delivering it outside via a side door. They have fun flavors like a mystery mocha and a salty nut latte. They also have classics like an americano and also barista creations. Lots of options to choose from. I enjoyed my salty nut latte and took it around the market for a fun daytime stroll. They have a stamp card for a free 10th drink and also sell merch. Definitely a must stop when visiting the market! read more

Personally, this was the best coffee I had while in Seattle. There is no dining or anything, you just order at a window and walk away. Perfect for exploring the market! The cheesecake syrup was surprisingly great! read more

Heading to the gym wall this place is hard to miss. It's right in the corner. Coffee is deliciously delicous! Tried the salty nut and loved it! Service was fast and friendly! Totally Seattle vibes and vibe-N with it! One thing that stood out besides the taste was the lid, it has a more quality covered lid! I'm a coffee girly and I appreciated that! I even saved it to re-use! Save the earth read more

Fantastic coffee at Pike Place Market. The service is fast and friendly. There is no seating and you take your coffee to go. The Cortado was crafted perfectly and great for a mid-day pick me up. Will be back soon. read more

Delicious coffee! We stopped by here before a day of sightseeing in Seattle. We got here right after 10am on Sunday and there was a one so we had to wait 10 minutes or so before ordering once we ordered, I got their house special syrup. The coffee was good not the most stellar one I've had but I enjoyed it. The baristas were super nice and you can even have them "surprise you" if you want and they ask you fun questions to choose a syrup for you. Cute spot! read more

Expensive coffee , I paid about 6.5 dollars for a cappuccino , and long line but quick service.

My friend and I decided to grab coffee here on a Sunday morning before our sightseeing for the day! There wasn't too much of a line (maybe 10 min wait or so). My friend decided to get the Salty Nut Latte and I got the Mystery mocha. The barista made sure to ask me about any allergens and/or flavors I didn't like. It was cool to check out post alley and the graffiti and gum wall nearby while we waited for our coffee. Very fun vibes. My mystery mocha had hints of cherry and mixed in with the chocolate it was so delicious!! My friends latte was also yummy and subtle but sweet. Really loved this spot and can't wait to return! read more

I needed some caffeine to start a very long day filled with adventure and Ghost Alley Espresso was the perfect place to do it. Since I was still used to East Coast time, we got there really early and had no wait which was nice. This cute coffee facade is located under the main Pike Place Market sign, down some stairs. Do note that the specialty drinks are a bit on the pricier side, but still pretty yummy. The barista who took our order was really sweet. This is like an outdoor coffee shop. There aren't exactly tables, but there are a few chairs and places around that you could find a seat if you really wanted one. It's a great place to grab a drink to walk around with. I loved all the art on the walls. It's also right next to the famous gum wall. They even sell gum! If you're in the area it's a nice place to check out. read more

A small coffee shop right at the end of Post Alley and near the gum wall. I think it's such a good business idea that they sell gum for 50 cents a piece! Last time I got their classic drink, the salty nut which was delicious. Tried their cold brew this time that is made with their spirit aged beans and was reminiscent of the Starbucks Reserve drink of a similar concept. Service is decently fast with plenty of things to wander around and look at in the meantime. read more

Unique location right next to the gum wall and only takeaway coffee. They even sell gum for the tourist to put some gum onto that wall. The service was friendly and the coffee was good. They have some specialty drinks like their Salty Nut and SMOG which are popular. They offer all the alternatives milks you may need as well. Would recommend and be prepared for a line as it is popular. read more

"This is where we go for our own coffee" is what I was told from one of the booths when asking for a tried and true spot that they, themselves, would go for their morning fix. They calmly told me Ghost Alley and said to follow the alleyway and you'll be there once near the gum wall. And off I went like Dorothy on the yellow brick road. Once I navigated to the area across Pike's, I saw a handful of people waiting in line and it was the coolest damn thing to see. Situated with tons of local artwork and graffiti work, take some time to see the issues they're tackling while waiting in line. Their order window is so laid back and the staff here were true badasses and I loved their sense of style and dress. As the true entrepreneurs they are, they even sell gum for folks lol. All of their syrups are made in-house and I opted for a marshmallow lavender iced latte. DAMN WAS THIS LEGIT. It was the right balance of sweet and calm. Their stickers are so fun and I loved the postcard they have as well. Totally recommend grabbing one or two. They have a handful of chairs to wait in while your coffee is made in the back. They have a seperate door where one of the Ghost Alley folks steps out with your order. Ghost Alley Espresso you have my heart and my caffeine fix. read more

Cute little coffee spot right next to the gum wall. It was difficult to find depending on which way you came from since it was underneath other shops. The line can get pretty long and the space gets quite crowded between the waiting area, the line, and people moving through the corridor and we ended up having to wait in a corner where someone was digging through the trash and tossing it. read more

Tucked in the lower alleyway under Pike Place, the coffee came out quick and hot. Salty nut was highly recommended and for good reason- smooth, and not too sweet. read more

Located just beneath the Market sign by gum alley! The wife and I loved the vibes down there because the shop feels so much more unique than the other shops inside of the market. The staff are super kind and we wish we could film more of the menu & the window they serve you from but they have signs posted to kindly not record the staff so we didn't. We loved the dirty chai the salty nut! so much we went back the morning of the day we were leaving for a pick me up to the airport. P.S forgot to bring gum for gum alley? they sell some! read more

Espresso tonic sounds strange until you actually try it on a warm afternoon. Bubbly, citrusy, and crisp with a sharp espresso finish. Unbelievably refreshing. read more

We stopped by this coffee shop while on vacation because we read such great reviews. Sadly, we left pretty disappointed. We tried the specialty iced lattes that were recommended, but both drinks had a burnt espresso taste and lacked the flavor we were expecting. When we asked for our drinks to be remake the employee at the window rolled her eyes and gave us such an attitude. Paying $19 for two coffees made it feel even less worth it. Super bummed this place was a flop. read more

I like this. It's away from the tourists. Coffee is very good quality. I love the theming. It's a nice small store. I dig that. Had a really productive conversation with a server there. Very direct and professional. Definitely check this place out?! read more

Does not meet the high bar of Seattle's coffee. As a matter of fact, for the price and the 25% tip the barista asking, it's far from meeting the bar. The signature ghost rider tastes like water. The taste of coffee, milk, chocolate, or even hot spices is lacking. Go there if you want to enjoy the ambiance of the spooky gum wall, but only take a look. Don't expect good coffee. read more

Ghost Alley Espresso - Ghost rider mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

i like the design of the store and the concept of the mystery mocha always being a different flavor and you can also have a free remake if you don't like what you receive the first time! They asked me what super power i would choose and maybe that is what they are basing what flavor to add into the mocha. it does take quite a bit of time for them to make it but luckily we were in no rush and it was not too cold outside. I can't confirm for sure but i believe i was provided with a cinnamon mocha which was a little above average! cute concept, fun art and worth a try 3/5 my partner got a vanilla latte which was a similar level of yummy i would say to the mystery mocha. 3/5 read more

Convenient location in like place right next to the gum wall. Order the mystery mocha, trust me.

Next to gum wall in Post St, Ghost Alley Espresso is a must-try. There's usually a small line, but it's worth the wait. Staff is very friendly and kind even during the busy times. It's also a great place for souvenirs, such as magnets, stickers, or beans. Their coffee is superb, and while I'm not a coffee person myself, they can make a fine pour-over or just simple lattes. Highly recommend. read more
