SHOOKETH was my reaction upon trying their toaster-pressed sandwich. I was not expecting a coffee shop on the side of a parking garage to deliver such fresh and delicious hot sandwiches, like their Belltown Club. I was pleasantly surprised but the steady flow of regulars shows this place is established. They also have a number of original speciality expresso drinks, I personally am a fan of their Iced Lavender Latte. A great place to stop by for a snack after an adventure to the Space Needle. Unfortunately it's a 2 star deduction for no mask wearing by staff, but at least they have plexi glass. read more

Great Coffee and atmosphere. If you are in the area visiting the Space Needle, Chihuly Gardens or the Pop Museum their coffee is a must have. They also provide great service. read more

Settled here for an hour while waiting for family to be finished in the pop culture museum. The girl that was working was really sweet and helpful. They've got some cool flavors too, great for grabbing a coffee on the go, not so much for sitting and enjoying the space. It opens up into a parking garage? Very odd but convenient. That was my least favorite part of the place. Coffee was great, get a lavender latte! read more

The Seattle Grind - Iced vanilla lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

3 stars because the woman working there was not wearing a mask 7 months into a pandemic. Otherwise, really good (but kind of luke warm) coffee. My rose mocha had excellent rose flavor and my husband's orange mocha also had really good orange flavor. read more

The Seattle Grind - Iced White Mocha, 16oz $5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered a nonfat "small" latte (12 ounce) and total was $5.79, which included 75 cents for "alternative milk." Asked about it and was told skim milk was "alternative" just like nondairy milks. Seems odd, but you do you I guess. Drink was fine though a little tepid. read more

It is one of the best in Seattle. You should try their Mexican Mocha. And also they are very friendly!

Quick place to grab some coffee (hot or cold). Had the Bee Pollen and Honey brew and it was pretty delicious.. If you are near the area, give them a shot and try it out, you will not be disappointed.. We came in needing our fix and came out very satisfied! read more

The iced cardamom latte was very good and sweet. The lady helping was just as sweet. Allowed us to use the restroom for my parents as they needed. Definitely recommend. It was very clutch before checking the Seattle center read more

Quick place to get sandwiches and a drink. The sandwiches are premade so they just stick it on a panini press to warm it up and your good to go! Sandwiches were delicious. There's only a couple of tables inside but lots of rock seats outside! read more

The new hubs, sister-in-law, sister-gf-in-law (lol) and I were waiting to meet my fam at the Space Needle. We were determined to do some touristy things even though we are in a pandy. It was cold, rainy and as usual, I was hangry. We noticed the coffee sign and headed over. There was only one person working, older gentleman, and he managed to get our coffees and breakfast sandwiches out to us fairly quickly. Coffee was great, sandwiches were good. I appreciated the chairs and table next to the heater the most. I just saw that this place might be permanently close..? Sigh, I hope it's not true!! I hate seeing a lot of small biz closing. read more

The barista was helpful (a fellow Ohioan) and my drink (Lavender Latte) was yummy! I wasn't sure what to expect of a flower coffee, but it was smooth and relaxing. read more

As an Australian tourist I found this coffee Cafe the best coffee in Seattle. Awesome friendly service. I would highly recommend

Overall cute little spot with great food! This place had a covered dining area, the owner was kind and the "vibe" was great! I will say I added 3 sugars to my coffee and I wish I had only added 2 since the caramel was pretty sweet! The only downside was my husband ordered a drip coffee that I think the grounds were burned. But that sandwich was to die for! 10/10 please try the panini it was one I'll crave forever! read more

The Seattle Grind - Turkey panini and a caramel macchiato! Super delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This coffee shop is certainly one of the more interesting shops I've seen. It is connected to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation building...GARAGE. As in, you can walk from the garage straight into the coffee shop, no walls. This is a very bizarre layout. I feel like the garage causes the shop to be quite cold at times. The coffee here was interesting. I got a mocha. The espresso itself wasn't too bad - it was rather strong, probably one of the stronger espresso shots I've had in Seattle. However, the mocha syrup just sat in the bottom of the and didn't mix with the rest of the drink at all. Not to mention that the syrup did not taste good. They also have Umpqua Oats here. read more

The Mexican mocha tasted bad. Not rich and basically no chocolate flavor. Sort of tasted like dirt.

Was stoping by the MoPOP museum and found this little coffee shop! The owner was incredibly nice and the oat latte was good. Will definitely stop by again! read more

Good coffee, friendly service and conveniently located near the Museum of Pop Culture and Space Needle!

Wanted to stop for a snack before taking a walk around town. Didn't realize the coffee shop was built into a parking lot which means noise travels. Other than that everything else was fine. Great bagel and looks like there was a good selection of food and specialty coffee latte and tea drinks. Prices a little high but I am sure they get a lot of customers off the street as its right next to Museum of POP and the Amazon museum. read more

Nothing better than a hot cup of lavender matcha in a fairly cold afternoon after hours of touring around the space needle. It's a fairly small space but at the perfect location. The owner was very nice and friendly in serving us. I've only had lavender matcha a few times but the one at the Seattle Grind is definitely worth trying. The nature lavender scent gives the milk and coffee a very fresh and light smell and taste. read more

The Seattle Grind - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The coffee is pretty good and the location is great - right across from MoPOP near the Space Needle. But don't come here for atmosphere. The coffee shop is the front corner of a parking garage. It was pretty cold and the tables and chairs are metal. Its a good place to pick up a coffee or tea but it's not the place to hang out and get cozy. read more

It was snowing and cold and we had a drive to the airport. We needed a pick me up. Lady running the place was super helpful, making suggestions. I changed my order to the Valencia Mocha since it had dark chocolate and orange. Kids had hot chocolate and hubby had his mocha. Fast delivery and it was hands down the best coffee I had in Seattle. Not acidic and the chocolate and orange sang. No place to sit since this is attached to the garage across from the MOPOP. read more

The Seattle Grind - Valencia Mocha. To die for - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were hungry, on our way to the museum of Pop Culture on a Sunday and looking for a breakfast that wouldn't take a while, without a huge brunch line...just something healthy and filling and stumbled upon the Seattle Grind right outside the space needle, our parking garage and the museum of pop culture. Thanks Yelp! It's like a little local version of a Starbucks with breakfast sandwiches, great coffee and tea and some tables outside. I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin and a nice smooth cup of coffee here. It was very reasonable and we left happy and ready to take on a museum! Would recommend The Seattle Grind for great coffee and quick no-frills sammies! read more

Stopped by after visiting Space Needle and Chihuly Gardens. It's right across the street on the same side of the Gates Foundation Building. Almost missed it. But the coffee is to die for. Don't miss this hidden gem! read more

The Seattle Grind - Rose Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great coffee with a plethora of housemade unique options, which are definitely worth a try! Living in Seattle, I'm always on the lookout for coffee shops to try, and came across this one while mindlessly browsing Google Maps (a favorite pastime). I was definitely a little apprehensive about it, as its proximity to the Seattle Center and the Space Needle meant a likely plethora of tourists, but decided to give it a shot since I had nothing else to try. Upon approaching the little spot in a corner of a parking lot, we found a few signs tempting us with interesting options such as a Lavender Latte, and were intrigued enough to get 2 orders, one of a standard Almond Milk Latte and one of a housemade Lavender Latte. The Almond Milk Latte was smooth, thick, and creamy, and reinforced my idea that Seattle coffee slaps the hardest in the US (Honolulu definitely didn't dissuade my opinion here). The Lavender Latte was also creamy and delicious, and definitely appeals to the sweet tooth my partner has, with a nice floral taste that was not overbearing but just present enough. If I were to go back, I'd definitely try out one of their other unique homemade offerings! read more

10/10 would recommend. Support your local businesses and get a coffee here versus wolfgang puck in mopop (sorry wolfgang). I can't remember his name, but the owner himself served us. I got a white mocha latte, and my girlfriend got a lavender latte. She said it was life changing. I tried it and it was definitely delicious. The owner told us he used to work at MoPop (if I am remembering correctly...he at least worked in this area) and he decided to buy the coffee shop one day. Him and his wife make all of the syrups and flavors. They are made with love. Try the coffee, chat with the staff, look at the cool art (also made by one of the owners) you will not regret it. Tip* MoPop does not allow you to bring coffee into the exhibits so enjoy your coffee inside the shop or on the patio if it's nice out.* read more

Coffee was fine, but the baristas do not wear masks. I would just skip this place and find coffee elsewhere.

I was really looking forward to getting great coffee in Seattle. While we were waiting for our turn at the Space Needle, I took the opportunity to look up nearby cafés. The cardamom latte jumped out at me right away. It's always odd when you're not greeted by a worker. It was especially awkward because we were the only ones in there. I made the initiative and asked if I could get a cardamom soy latte. I couldn't figure out why the total came out to $7, when it should have been $6. Instead of confronting her, my boyfriend told me it was fine because that would have been her tip. The space is unique. It's attached to a parking garage. The smell of exhaust forced us outdoors. Now, I'm not sure if the soy was already sweetened, but the latte was cloyingly sweet. And the milk wasn't hot enough. I'm not sure why coffee shops never regulate their steamed milk temperatures. I would have asked her to top the drink off with a regular brew to cut the sweetness, but her initial unfriendliness turned me off from interacting with her further. I also thought the latte art was a bit on the boring/lazy side. Inside is a phone charging station, which is helpful for tourists. The boyfriend dropped his on their garage cement floor and cracked his screen. Bad coffee and damaged phone completely killed our vibe. read more

The Seattle Grind - Cardamom latte with soy. Much too sweet and overpriced ($7) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food and coffee was fine, but the women working was not wearing a mask. First time I've seen that in awhile. Gross gross gross.

This is pretty much in the parking garage across from MoPop. It was a nice little spot. They have good assorted herbal and medicinal teas, sandwiches, and coffees. I'd recommend this place for after MoPop on the way to your car. The service is nice, quick and the place is much less expensive than your standard coffee shop. read more

No mask during a pandemic. Shameful. Bad coffee as well. Don't go. Lavender wasn't even in the coffee and it was 5 bucks for a tiny little thing. No go. read more

Came here this morning on the way to work near Mercer. What attracted me was this: a simple propped-up sign outside advertising their cardamom latte. Lately, I've been obsessed with anything cardamom and have found that Seattle is too (cardamom cocktails, cardamom lattes, cardamom cookies..) so I was happy to see that The Seattle Grind is joining in on the cardamom train. They have your usual 12 oz. and 16 oz. sizes, but they also have 20 OZ. (!) for those drowsy days when you need four shots of espresso. I thought this was pretty cool. I don't know of many cafes that have 20 oz. drinks. The barista was extremely friendly and we had a nice chat while he made my drink. He also told me about their lavender latte, which they make from scratch using fresh lavender buds that they distill into a syrup. Wow. I noticed while waiting that there was a crossword puzzle left on the counter for anyone to fill in. He explained that its popularity had caught on and he'll have customers who sometimes spend half an hour trying to figure it out. I thought this was an innovative, quirky idea that brings people together without them even knowing it. Awesome. The latte was delish (order with hemp, it brings out the flavors in a really smooth way). I also got the "veggie delight" breakfast sandwich, which I thought was made in-house, but sadly they are prepackaged sandwiches that they just warm up via panini press. I wasn't that impressed with it considering I paid $5 for something that wasn't fresh. Overall, a good experience and I plan on coming back, but not for the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Good coffee. Decent panini. Barista didn't wear a mask and seemed a little moody.

Easy to find and surrounded by great places walking distance. The staff was nice, but there is limited seating. Wifi worked well. We tried the rose latte and and orange latte. They had too much milk foam and wasn't as great as I would expect. I would pass it on my next trip from LA to Seattle. read more

The Seattle Grind - The top is the rose and the bottom is the orange. Okay coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I approve. Cardamom coffee and lavender mocha was fantastic. Subtle and yummy. Good vegan milk options soy almond oat. Pretty seating.

Lavender Latte for the win!! We were on route to the space needle and I was waaaay under-caffeinated to deal with a thousand adult and child aged humans. I was dragging me feet when I saw "lavender latte" on the sidewalk sign and I gave thanks to God. 2 minutes later and I was sipping on foamy,sweet, herb infused deliciousness. Amen, ashe, now we can do this touristy thing. Totally exceeded my coffee snob expectations of a cafe attached to a parking structure. Thankfully I was desperate enough to stop in. Winner. read more

The very best coffee in Seattle. Hands down. No kidding. I love this place. The owners are fantastic people, and are always worth stopping in to visit with. They offer local talent and intelligence that you won't find elsewhere. All the drink syrups and flavors are crafted by hand and the baked goods are truly homemade as well. Nothing mass produced or factory packaged, except for the panini sandwiches, which are actually made by another local, small scale craft producer. Stop by here today, and change your outlook. I always leave with a lighter step, thanks to the great service and greater coffee. (Or is it actually the other way around? Everything is so good it's hard to tell) :) read more

Stumbled across this place while walking back to the parking garage. The sign "lavender latte" caught my eye so of course I had to come in and try it. As soon as I walk up to the counter, first thing the lady said to me was "I'll be with you in a second. I have other drinks to make." Ok, I understand she a few drinks to make, but she didn't have to talk to me in a rude tone and roll her eyes at me. I ordered the iced lavender latte and I didn't taste the lavender at all. It tasted like watered down coffee with condensed milk. Not even one tiny bit of lavender... Sigh. Probably won't be coming back. read more
