    Freaking amazing rose lavender latte! We were having breakfast nearby and decided to stop off here. With so many options nearby, we're happy we chose those one! The espresso is smooth and the rose lavender isn't overbearing but the flavor is still there without being too sweet. Perfect!

    Lush Life and Single Origin Espresso
    Joanna M.

    I've tried both the Downtown and Capitol Hill location and much prefer the Capitol Hill location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe at the Capitol Hill location is that of a relaxed cafe where you can hang out and have your cute specialty drink and buy espresso beans at your pace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whereas the downtown location is really a take-out order booth that can't fit more than four people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service at the Capitol Hill location is more personable compared to the downtown location where the priority is to get the drinks out as fast as possible. The Lush Life drink is at least consistent between both locations and is a really nice specialty coffee drink. The espresso and the grapefruit are well balanced and the coffee is strong. The single origin espresso is good but a little too winey for my taste and I would've preferred trying the other espresso. It really depends on what type of vibe you want. Both Ghost Note locations provide good coffee but one focuses more on take-out and the other focuses on cafe sit down.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little quiet spot for coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted as we walked in. The menu is posted at the entrance so that was convenient to review it before going to the front and order. He took my order and I sat while I waited. Ordered a large mocha. The cup looked like a medium. The coffee came hot so be aware. I actually like it really hot just wasn't ready for it. It was really good coffee! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot is good for someone who likes a quiet space and good coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ghost coffee is a hip and cool neighborhood cafe, went here for coffee and work this morning as I had an appointment nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoyed the coffee and quiet space to work, it was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Vanilla Latte and it was really good.

    If you want innovative mocktail format coffee drinks, this is the place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a fairly spacious coffee shop in Capitol Hill that has many different types of coffee drinks that you wouldn't really find elsewhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's strongly recommended to enjoy the drinks for here than to-go since the presentation is nicer. I got the Sun Ships which is one of their more popular mainstay drink which has espresso and grapefruit, rosemary, coconut, sparkling water with a slight tartness to it. I enjoyed every sip. While it was almost $10 after tax and an auto 10% service charge (even more reason to dine-in if you're already paying this), I felt it was worth it due to the quality and innovative nature of the drinks

    Mulling spice latte
    Peggy L.

    Had to take my partner to one of my favorite cafe spots in Seattle! Ordered a cup of mulling spice latte... so it is mulling spice syrup mixed with oat milk. It was amazing and unique! Very smooth tasting for a latte and the sweetness wasn't overpowering like other lattes with syrups around the city. The flavors in latte were full of cinnamon, clove, orange peel, and zesty black lime. Just perfect seasonal drink in the fall! Just love this selection of seasonal drinks in PNW. The service was quick and nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Full of locals coming in and out with drinks! Feels cozy even if it was a short visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    lid station

    I stopped by Ghost Note with friends before we road tripped to Vancouver!! It was close by which is why we went, but I thought it was just okay. It's a pretty cute interior but the drinks aren't too stand out. I like that they had merchandise inside like apparel and spirits/bitters. It's nice to look around while you wait for your drink! I was interested in the seasonal drinks but I opted for a chai latte (8oz). It seemed quite small but I enjoyed it, though I've definitely had better chais. Our drinks were brought out fast and there's a little station with lids, straws, and stirrers! The logo is also pretty cool.

    First time here. The name immediately drew me in - I think it's one of the more beautiful names for a cafe that I've come across. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior was warm and cozy with limited seating and fairly minimalist design aesthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a latte with whole milk and a slice of the pistachio rose cake. Both were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the latte; the espresso had a rich and deep flavor and the art inscribed upon the foam thereof retained it's integrity all the way down to the bottom of the cup. Kudos to the barista. I do recommend this cafe and will likely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Cheers!

    This spot has been popping on my IG feed for a while so when I was in the area, I decided to check it out. First of all, this is a cute coffee shop in CH. As you enter the shop, you'll see some merch right off the bat. I was tempted to shop but I controlled myself! We got the Winter Soda, which is a seasonal drink made with their mulling spice syrup, and their Lush Life iced latte, which is made with their orange blossom honey syrup. I love the fact that they make their syrups in house! I loved my winter soda drink! It was refreshing but not too sweet. The Lush Life drink was good, but not impressive. But maybe it's because I don't like iced coffee drinks that much. I would love to come back and try their hot coffee drinks as well as their pastries!

    All non-alcoholic spirit options Jan 2024

    I'm recently sober, and never would have guessed that the best NA spirit and bitter loaded drinks would be from a coffee spot!? For dry January 2024 they have a fun menu with so many drinks it was hard to choose. They sell all of the spirits and bitters in store too! Coffee and vibe was also smooth and warm. I got talking with the owner(?)/mixologist working bc mentioned the new sobriety and they let me taste the options. Went home with a bottle of Ritual Rum Alternative, which has chilies added to give it a bite, would recommend. NA spirits are 10% off in January if you spend $30 or more, run don't walk!!!

    Great espresso and lattes! Pastries and cookies are a crap shoot. I've had a few that are obviously day olds and stale.

    I never liked eggnog much growing up but am intrigued by the Oat Nog. I'm a fan of anything house-made and Oatly brand. Is the rich flavor strong?

    Hey, thanks for the question. Several people who say they don’t like traditional eggnog much have said that they like the Oat Nog. Because it doesn’t have eggs (it’s thickened with xanthan gum), it’s a bit less rich. But it’s still sweet and spicy.…

We came in on a rainy morning and found seats next to the glowing fireplace. Talk about cozy! Massive windows overlook the chaotic market below. They serve coffee, tea, pastries, a few food items, and snacks. My salted caramel latte was pretty incredible. This might sound cheesy but as I drank it, I really couldn't believe how exquisite it was. Very lightly sweetened, unbelievably smooth, the foam holding its shape all the way to the last sip, and that little touch of salt tying everything together. No joke, possibly the best latte I've ever had. Back to the space, it's dark, warm, and sexy, with soft gold and amber accents. It reminded me so much of the way I designed my own home so of course we ended up staying much longer than planned. We felt so at home. So if you're a coffee lover, you need to find this spot and experience it for yourself. One word - transcendent.

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
