    16-ounce iced Latte ($6.00) with vanilla syrup ($0.80). Also got an 8-ounce Matcha Latte ($4.50, not pictured).
    Daniel B.

    I had a 16-ounce iced latte ($6.00) with vanilla syrup (+$0.80) and it was good -- cold, refreshing, and hit the spot. High-quality coffee. We also got an 8-ounce hot matcha latte ($4.50). My wife found this place (Overcast Coffee Company) after doing a quick Yelp search of cafes near us. Overcast was the highest-rated one. We just had lunch at Kobuta and Ookami (I highly recommend that place for tonkatsu, by the way) and needed coffee to counteract our jetlag and food coma. Overcast was only a 3-minute walk up the street. The cafe is tiny with no seating inside, but there is patio seating outside on the sidewalk (uncovered). Overcast is located on street level of the Kaiser Permanente North Building in Capitol Hill. Overcast also has a second, bigger location on the south side of the neighborhood at 1517 12th Ave. Service was five stars. The staff was very nice. When my wife asked about their syrups, they told us they had a housemade lavender syrup. Unfortunately, they were sold out at the time of our visit and were apologetic. One of the baristas complimented our friend on her outfit. The shop had a variety of bagged coffee beans and food/baked goods for sale. For the latter, examples include croissants, Danishes, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, buns, cookies, and scones. The coffee menu was simple and straightforward, which I appreciated.

    Mod place attached to a bike shop! There's a nice patio outside with a cool mural. The staff was super knowledgeable about the coffee. We asked about the brew, and they wove a tale from bean to honey processing. I was swooning at the coffee jargon. Pastries were yummy and made for a good breakfast. Seems like a solid and lowkey place to do some work or catch up with a friend!

    Cute coffee shop right next to kaiser! No seating inside but they have tables outside. Got an iced matcha and they don't add any sweetener so I added vanilla syrup. Flavor was decent and service was relatively fast

    Very cute spot for a cup of coffee. They have a handful of small tables and plugs if you need to get work done. Generous slice on the quiches and the drip coffee also comes with 1 free refill. It's a smaller, intimate feel with some cozy vibes -- everything I love in a coffee shop.

    Super friendly customer service. Local coffee shop vibes. It's a pretty small shop, no place to sit inside the coffee shop, but there's chairs outside for the warmer days and there's some seating inside Kaiser itself. I've ordered their lattes, and it's pretty flavorful. They have all the common syrups. The have some food there- breakfast sandwiches and pastries.

    Matcha latte

    Had to go into Kaiser for an appointment, smelled the bacon from the lobby at Overcast and I was excited to try it out! The reviews looked awesome and so did the matcha. My friend and I ordered and the girl making the food was really nice, even the guy taking the order... initially. After we got our iced matchas with honey and noticed how milky they were, we nicely asked for some more matcha. The guy taking the order was willing but his attitude switched up real quick. It was giving "fake customer service" "mhm" and he looked visible annoyed. My friend popped her lid off and split a bit on the counter to which his response was "" lol. You could tell he was just annoyed. Real epic first experience. They were hyping up the food and I was excited to come back, but I prolly wont lol. I hate feeling like an inconvenience as a paying customer. OH, and the matcha wasn't good even after the extra matcha! The pic I'm uploading is after we asked for some more matcha. I'm not a matcha snob but it was MILKY before and asked to be sweetened with honey and there's no sweetness... would've asked for it to be sweetened but I didn't want to annoy them for anything else even though I payed & it wasn't busy. Anyways. Sad it didn't work out.

    An orange cardamom latte with oat milk

    Super friendly staff! Very small shop but the quality is so tasty; ordered an orange cardamom latte with oat milk. They have treats to order but didn't have any during this first visit. Would visit again.

    8oz Latte (with whole milk)
    Sebastian R.

    This was my first time trying Overcast. I broke the review down into: Food, Service and Ambiance. Food: I don't know how good the cooking is since I only ordered an 8oz latter but I would say taste-wise the coffee is better than Starbucks and most of the other cafe chains I've visited (including Nero, definitely Dunkin', and a few others). It doesn't have that burnt coffee taste, once it got to the right temp it tasted very clear and crisp. Overall I'd say that it's better than most others. The only downside is the price: $5 (before tip), though I feel like for Seattle that's pretty standard. Service: Not too much to say here. The guy who served my coffee was very friendly and talkative. He added a good vibe. Ambiance: It's across from Safeway and on a busy street, plus the only seating is outside. Aside from that it's very neighborhood-ey which I like. Overall: For sure recommend trying it. At the moment I'd say I like it more than any of the other cafes on 15th.

    Come here and you'll understand the perfect 5 stars. Great vibes and music when ordering at the counter & then you get this smooth coffee (or matcha) latte that will make you question why you go to other spots down the road. If this place had more space so I can come and do some work + vibe out to their awesome playlist, I'd be there even more often than we come here already. Also, the owner is so nice! He genuinely wants you to love what you get and you can feel it.

    Friendly, quick service. I like the very conversational staff even in the morning! It wakes me up!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte

    Writing out postcards on this rainy day. Nice rustic vibe. I got a matcha latte with vanilla and had to get a pumpkin spice obviously-- it's october, come on now. Latte art for the win Talked to the barista for a bit before leaving and they were very friendly. pumpkin spice was amazing and found out it's homemade and not a store bought syrup! super cute place worth a visit.

    My first time trying overcast coffee. It was recommended by one of my coworkers. Can't believe I haven't gone till today. The latte I ordered was amazing with great aroma of the coffee and nice blend, smoothness of the milk. Heard they have different pastries and would love to come back to try other items. Highly recommend!

    As a new resident of Washington state, I've explored a number of different spots around the area,…read moreand Hello Em stands out as one of my absolute favorites! Unlike the majority of coffee shops I've tried in Seattle, Hello Em has ample parking right on the same street, which was a HUGE relief when I was running hungry and borderline hypoglycemic. When I walked in earlier this morning, I was warmly greeted by a staff member who, after I mentioned it was my first visit, thoughtfully walked me through their top-selling items. Bonus: while waiting for my food and beverage, I explored and was mesmerized by the beautifully curated aesthetic and Vietnamese decor, which was thoughtfully designed and made my wait enjoyable. I ordered an iced Cà Phê Brûlée (torched egg coffee), which turned out to be such a creamy, decadent treat once I stirred the torched top into the strong roast beneath it. For food, I was torn between the Sữa đặc (condensed milk) Pandan Croissant and the Ăn Sáng (breakfast) croissant so I decided to just order both. The Pandan Croissant was sweet and buttery, while the Breakfast Croissant was a protein-rich, savory blend of honey ham, Chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), omelet, and a light spread of mayo. I left full, caffeinated, and BEYOND impressed. If you're after high quality Vietnamese coffee and pastries paired with warm, attentive service, Hello Em is well worth the trip!!!!

    I first visited Hello Em when they opened a few years ago, and unfortunately, my experience with…read morethe service felt very similar this time around. The coconut water matcha was absolutely delicious. It was refreshing, flavorful, and easily the highlight of my visit. The café itself is also very cute and culturally immersive, with a thoughtful Vietnamese identity that I genuinely appreciate as someone who is Vietnamese. That said, the baristas gave off a noticeably unfriendly and slightly dismissive vibe. I understand that some cafés lean into the aloof, hipster-barista atmosphere, but this felt unnecessary. It is still a coffee shop, and a little warmth would make the experience much more welcoming. I am still giving Hello Em four out of five stars because the drink was fantastic and the space is beautiful. However, I had the same impression during my first visit years ago, so I hope the service improves before it becomes part of the café's reputation.

Definitely a hopping place at the end of the workday. It's got a darker ambiance and it's cozy. It has indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, though we chose to stay indoor. Pro tip - the poofs make you sit REALLY low. The food choices around 1pm were dismal, and limited. Maybe they'd sold out, or maybe they just don't have a lot there, but nothing even looked fresh enough to warrant purchase. The other thing that killed me was the service. There was one person on the entire 4 hours I was there, and it made for an incredibly slow experience. It was friendly enough, if not a little dismissive. Prices are reasonable and there is paid parking across the street, but take that with a "for Seattle" caveat.

The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that.
