    Latte

    So nice to have a good coffee shop open at 6am besides a place I don't want to frequent. This is in the 5th Ave side of the Columbia Tower. Have only had Monorail Espresso once before but have always wanted return so very excited it's only about 5 blocks up from work. It's worth the hike from the bus stop in 3rd. One of best lattes in the city and consistent. One thing I always enjoy is the customer service. I've only been to this location and the original one but the staff is always so welcoming and friendly.

    Although known for their coffee, they make a good matcha latte too! Service is quick and friendly. Definite go to spot if you're in the area. It's certainly a Seattle classic.

    Small coffee shop tucked away in the Columbia Center. The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain the drink specials. It's September so I had to have my first cup of pumpkin spice latte. They call it the Basic Witch and it's really tasty with Oatly. The spices are not too overwhelming.

    Had the matcha lavender latte. So tasty. Very popular place. Baristas know their regulars.

    I used to be a regular at Coffeeholic and brought a lot of visitors here. However, the last two…read moretimes I went, I got a stomachache and so did my friend who was visiting Seattle. 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.
