They make a great cup of coffee! Very popular spot and staff is always friendly. They have a good amount of seats but a Sunday morning can be challenging to drink inside. Love the vibes.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle! The coffee is really good quality, and the baristas are excellent. They're always willing to make my drink exactly how I like it. The vibes inside are also great, will definitely be back to sit!

Spinach and cheese croissant
Tazeen L.

Cute little cafe with friendly service. Had an oat milk caramel capp which was perfectly made. Also had the spinach & cheese croissant- was cold in the middle and very thick consistency (not sure if it was the cheese or the béchamel). Not bad but would try something else next time. Definitely would drop by again if in the area.

Delicious coffee and breakfast sandwich. UPCHARGE for alternative milk, which had become typical. Definitely not cheap but really great vibe, good breakfast pastries and great coffee drinks.

Cozy
Babette C.

I was early for a dinner at Bai Tong so I needed some place to wait, so I ducked in here and I'm so glad I did. It's small, but they have four different seating areas- high chairs lining the wall or the plate glass windows, two tops off to the side, a lounger area, and a couple of tables out front so you can sit with the pups. I ordered the white mocha and the barista was very friendly and served it up quickly. The lounge area was a nice place to relax and it was perfect for the hour I had to kill.

Orange cardamom latte
Mena C.

Had a delish latte today served by the sweetest barista. Orange cardamom latte with oat milk was delish - the oat milk was so creamy. Cute little store, and delish looking treats. Will be back!!

Cozy seating area

Cozy, plant-filled space, genuinely kind baristas, and excellent matcha and cold brew. Exactly the kind of warmth you hope for on a cold day .

*Shoutout to fellow Yelp Elite Diana X and her terrific post for Overcast Coffee* I literally was in my car an hour after reading her post. There's a window of opportunity before traffic bunches up on I-5. I have my fave cafes on CapHill, but Diana's post was that compelling to check out another indie (9/20/24). Amazed to snag street parking with a reasonable hour rate in front of Eltana, the Montreal style bagel site. It is located on 12th Avenue, between EPike & EPine, next door to the SPD East Precinct. They have limited bright yellow sidewalk seating, a row of onsite two tops (all occupied by the laptop crowd), few seats by the merch display, and counter seating by the entrance & front counter where I ended up at. Nice interior with plants, decent vibe with upbeat music playing, and a welcoming trio of baristas. There was a steady stream of customers for onsite and takeout. I had a 16oz dark chocolate mocha and a sizeable ham & cheese croissant onsite. I appreciated the offer for it to be heated up. I ended up hanging out for an hour. Very pleasant. Definitely I will add this to my CapHill cafe rotation.

Great little coffee shop with friendly staff. Refill for drip coffee is $1 - thank you!

Bagel breakfast sandwich
Ryan W.

The food was delicious!!! I had the bagel breakfast sandwich and I'm so glad the ran out of regular bagels because I might not have tried the everything bagel and it was sooooo good!! the chocolate croissant was more croissant than chocolate but it was still delicious. The service was great they were fast and very nice and helped us figure out what we'd like. Cute place super small but I love it!

Outside

Stopped by in the afternoon and it was packed! Ambiance and interior was very nice but since the seats were full I was only there to get a drink togo. There was a small sign that introduced their seasonal drink: earl grey & lavender latte but I wanted to double check if it was both flavors included into one drink or two separate ones. I asked the barista and they told me it was one drink, but was kinda dry/sarcastic with their response which threw me off. I ordered the drink anyway and I was satisfied with how it wasn't too milky--you can actually taste the espresso! However, the syrups created an interesting combination of flavors and it almost tasted kinda savory rather than sweet/floral. It wasn't bad and I wanted to try something new, but I'll definitely stick to my usual vanilla latte next time!

Overcast Coffee was recommended to me by a few people and only two blocks from where my friend lives! We stopped by two Sunday mornings ago for a drink. I don't think they roast their own coffee here, but they were selling beans from "This Coffee Life" and it's what they use for their drinks too. I liked that they had an extensive pour over list, so I chose the Colombian single origin that morning and I thought it was an enjoyable cup of coffee. My friend got the matcha latte which she enjoyed. I ended up buying a bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans for 20.00 and hope it turns out well!

Overcast Coffee in Capitol Hill is a total vibe! The croissant was amazing -- super flaky and delicious. Great latte, I will definitely come back! The staff is super chill and friendly, making the whole experience even better. I loved their dog-picture-wall. Very cute and it gave the whole place personality. The place itself is super cozy with cute decor/lots of plants and comfy spots to chill or work! Definitely a great coffee spot!

One visit was earlier in the morning, and the place was packed. The line was nearly out the door. The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature. They serve it right with sparkling water on the side. Absolutely perfect! Out of all of the coffee spots in Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee is worth the visit for sure!

HONEY BUNCHES OF COLD BREW! GET THAT!!!…read more that is all i need to say, this coffee was soooo good. maybe because my favorite cereal is honey bunches of oats, but it is literally the coffee version of that cereal. Its nice and sweet, hints of honey, and the coffee flavor is not so strong where the bitterness overpowers the flavor. I wish they had more locations outside of Seattle, this place is truly soooo good. However, the cup is small and its a bit on the pricier side for the size you get, but its a great coffee shop to try when youre in Seattle!

The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

I wish I lived in Seattle so that I could come back and try their other tea drinks as they all look delicious and it made me so happy that they have Boba and toppings . The inside is very mid-century modern and beautiful. Lots of spaces to work from and outlets. They also have a little mini market where they sell Matcha among other things. I loved everything about my experience there and would absolutely go back. The employees were also so sweet.

Definitely a busy spot so try to come here on a weekday if you don't like waiting! (Like me..lol) The pork banh-mi is delicious here as well as the Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders. I need to get around to trying the other food options. Not the biggest fan of the spam musubi they have, it always seems over steamed to me, I wish they were made to order like the other food options! Phe is worth the hype, and worth the wait too if you decide to go on a weekend. The space is super cute and it's nice to have a space for young people to gather and hang out.

I ended up trying their honeycomb coffee instead and WOW... so good. Perfectly balanced, slightly sweet, and super smooth. My boyfriend got the black sesame coffee and loved it. I'm personally not a black sesame fan, but if you are, it's definitely worth trying. The second time I came back, I finally got my hands on the earl grey matcha and OMG GET IT. It's so unique and flavorful, and everything just works together perfectly. You really taste the earl grey and the nutty matcha yumm. Only downside? Parking can be a struggle... but I'm not even kidding when I say I will parallel park every single time for that drink. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

What's amazing is theres no acidic taste ruining your beverage , just a smooth euphoric rush of caffeine coursing through your body. I normally get an iced latte to get my geyser gushing but a straight shot does happen occaisionly. Outside of the superior taste the caffeine kick back is like a NASA ROCKET BOOSTER piloting Artemis II... Now the hired hands are fined tuned & trained baristas extracting the brown juices from local roasted beans. BTW VIVACE roasts its own coffee, specializing in a Northern Italian style developed by founder David Schomer since 1992... This is why you'll love its taste... VIVACE's interior space is very large for small & medium size gatherings with a hipster eclectic taste of furnishings. Also beware free WiFi if you're a lounge lizard is available... During good weather days outside seating is available for the rare days the gods allow Seattle sun to shine down upon us. Table & chairs on sidewalk allows you front row seating to the freak show for entertainment. Not much more to say, so grab a shot of caffeine!

The espresso itself is mostly crema, really well done and not something I have found many places outside of Italy they definitely know what they are doing. Plenty of seating and places to work if you want to work there and they also sell pastries and take home items like beans, mugs, espresso cups etc. Definitely worth a visit if you are local in the Seattle area or visiting. Parking on broadway is a bit hit or miss but you can usually find a spot either on the main street or a nearby side street.
