This was the best coffee in Port Townsend, I wish they were open every day of our visit! The space is warm and inviting with great views of the water. The staff is super friendly and quick making coffee. The coffee was great! Smooth and flavorful! Just the thing to start the day! Great venue, great service, great coffee!!! read more

Coffee was great, scone was good, service was friendly, But the gentleman taking orders, while friendly and helpful, multiple times simply was too talkative and held up things far too long Ambiance was great. PS. No almond milk, which is minor but the reason my wife walked down the street. Not a complaint, just a warning to the 2% who will care. read more

We enjoyed two visits to Velocity, which is on the northeast of the PT waterfront. They make their drinks with a medium roast from Olympia Coffee, which you can buy in-house. They've got all your classic coffee beverages as well as some fun ones using in-house syrups. Between our visits we tried the Bee Sting (honey, vanilla, and honey) and Brown Sugar Cardamom Lattes and the Salted Spicy Mocha, all great and worth re-ordering. Great balance of espresso and flavor and not too sweet. Our little one had a steamer and a kids' cocoa and enjoyed both, which are steamed to a suitable temp. Service was friendly and efficient. The shop is bright, with big windows looking out to the water and seasonal flowers on the tables. It's a popular spot for locals and was fairly busy on both of our visits. We took our drinks outside to the waterfront and there is a picnic table for seating if needed. We'll be back on our next visit! read more

Velocity was such a cute little place, i was a little confused on what was on the menu (because it didn't seem like they had one) but i asked for a brown sugar chai latte and they delivered! They have 4 amazing homemade syrups (i got the cardamon brown sugar and it was great!) the pastry selection wasn't for me but it had some great classics. read more

Cute coffee shop in Port Townsend! We stopped by around 9am during the week and although popular it wasn't too busy. I went with an 8oz oat milk latte. The coffee was excellent and my partner got a bagel which was very good as well. Everyone working was super nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping here if you need a caffeine fix! read more

Told the staff that the shop was a great vibe but what I meant was they all had a great energy. Coffee and the ham and cheese were really good! read more

Did not disappoint ! Coffee was delicious and fresh pastries were perfect. Perfect location!!! read more

Neither the coffee nor the ambience are good enough for the staff to be this rude. The first time I went into this place was back in 2020, with the intention of hanging some flyers for my new business. When I asked the barista where I could hang them, he looked at me like I was an idiot and said "um, yeah, we don't do that here". Um, what? What kind of small town community gathering spot doesn't let you hang flyers for a LOCAL business? And was I somehow supposed to know that? Unnecessary rudeness, and no community spirit. It put me off going back there for years. I finally returned, 6 years later, because a friend wanted to meet there. I walk in, set my stuff down, and head up to the counter. Weirdly (very weirdly), they don't have menus up on the wall behind the coffee station, or on the front counter, or even near the front counter. As I'm looking around, clearly confused, the barista is just standing there watching my struggle, not offering any help. Finally, they give an exasperated sigh and ask me in a condescending tone if I need a menu. I say yes, and they point to the wooden beam behind me, which is the absolute most insane spot to put the ONLY menu in the house. Again, treated like a moron for expecting things that are fairly normal at other establishments. I can't deal with these people. The coffee is mediocre, and the attitudes are Seattle-level, not what I expect to encounter as a local in my own community. I was a barista for years, and I get that it's easy to develop a hard crust dealing with entitled customers, but this was beyond. Definitely won't be back. read more

Yummy delicious and great local networking! Refined coffee quality for the foodies. Nice ambiance too.

Sweet coffee cafe with cheerful, informative staff. Had a nice drip coffee and banana bread - all perfect on a sleepy Sunday. Tucked away and the end of the Main Street, this cafe has easy views of the water. Worth a visit read more

Really nice little place! Nice coffee combinations, I'm not usually a hot coffee person but I got the brown sugar cardamom latte with the orange whipped cream and really enjoyed it. Great banana bread and gluten free chocolate cookies. Very friendly staff, lovely views of the docks and a short walk to a nearby park :) I'm only visiting the area but I'd like to return to this cafe again! read more

Coffee shops thrive on comfortable ambiance, something you'll find at Velocity. Great location, good coffee, a fine selection of nibbles.

Wonderful gem in Port Townsend! I particularly liked the selection of pastries. We got the gluten free chocolate and it was gooey, rich, and absolutely delicious. The blueberry lemon scone was also good. Drinks were warm and flavorful. I also really liked the ambience within the coffee shop read more

Great bagel, great Cappucino!! (We had the bee sting -- it was the perfect precursor to our whale watching trip). Appreciated that this place was right by the dock and that you could pop in and out relatively quickly. I hope they are able to secure more space in the future, because it was bumpin' in there! read more

Year after year Velocity consistently provides GREAT coffee and pastries and the amazing, elusive Bob's Bagel. Velocity is a wonderful place. Highly Recommended! read more

Delicious coffee. Would go here all the time if I lived here. Had the cardamon latte with housemade orange blossom whipped cream. Chefs kiss read more

5 stars!! Place was clean, warm, extremely inviting. The staff was amazing. They did not show any negativity to my questions or the amount of time I needed to make a choice, they even helped me with my choice of dairy replacement. Which is huge when trying new things! The Bee Sting was made with oat milk for me and it went together so well. Would drink it daily if closer! Absolutely perfect. Even had a beautiful heart on top. My partner was new as well, they aided in her experince. They didn't have any caramel but came up with a very yummy coffee with vanilla, neither of us had to use sweetners or anything. Was great as is. The blueberry bread AND the almond topped orange cake(can't remember exact name) was divine! If close by, check em out!! Even the artwork on the walls are worth the little stop in. read more

Best coffee in town with the loveliest staff. I get the oat milk latte with a splash of the brown sugar cardamom syrup, made in house! The salmon spread bagel with the works is also BOMB. Also right on the water so ambiance is top notch. . read more

Super friendly owner and servers. Tasty coffee and local bakery treats. And the bagels are real! Chewy, flavorful from a local bakery. Wish I could go there every day! Peaceful view of the Sound as you wait- it was a short wait. read more

Coffee is good, the service was excellent, and the location is pretty. The coffee itself isn't spectacular, but it's not bad. I will definitely return if I'm in the area again. read more

Great location, baristas were very nice and helpful. My drink was very delicious and reasonably priced would go again.

Ok I wouldn't say I'm a coffee connoisseur but I do enjoy a good cup of coffee. I always order the same thing, basic americano. A friend and I met up and went to this place for the first time and both got drinks. This place is very cute, tons of seating and a fun location. I gave it three stars because the coffee is bitter. If that's what you like then this place is for you! It is not mine unfortunately. read more

Friendly and efficient. My favorite was the brown sugar cardamom coffee, which he graciously added more cardamom for me.

Very friendly employees, great coffee, and tasty pastries. We had a great time here. We will be back!

Best latte I've had in the PNW. It was extremely busy and the speed of service was an impressive compliment to the quality. If you're ever in the area, treat yourself to a pastry. read more

Great customer service and amazing coffee with milk steamed to the perfect temperature. Thank you for the great cappuccino!

I'm giving this place 5 stars for several reasons, and mainly, the owner/operators are so friendly and make you feel at home. They make outstanding coffee and have a wide variety of pastries and breakfast items. We stop in every time we take the Puget Sound Express Whale Watching cruise. By starting off the morning here, it makes for an excellent day. read more

Each of the Latte's ordered for my mom and partner got its own unique design. For my regular coffee with milk they made sure to check in with me about how milky and wanted it and poured in front of me so it would be perfect. That is the type of service you don't see very often. The coffee itself was nicely flavored. read more

This is my new go to coffee spot when I visit Port Townsend. The location is perfect, right on the water and plenty of outdoor seating. The baristas are real coffee enthusiasts and knowledgeable of coffee, roasting, etc... they are also great at welcoming every guest through their doors. I look forward to trying their coffee beans after getting home. I loved their chai latte - got it twice. read more

To be fair, the coffee I've had was very good (but NOT cheap, I guess you pay for the location/view) as was the service. The reason it's gets an "ok" rating and why I won't be going back is the "BLM" sign in the front window. I go (went) to Velocity for coffee, not your thoughts on race, police, gender or politics. Your coffee is GOOD Velocity...the virtue signaling wont make it taste better. read more

The coffee here is really good, and the view of the waterfront can't be beat! You can sit inside, or get it to go and watch the ferry go by, as there is plenty of tables and seats outside. The pier is right outside the door as well to take a stroll on. The spicy mocha is my favorite, has lots of strong flavor. The only negative, the Staff can be a bit unfriendly. read more

Velocity - Spicy Mocha Coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

I've been here twice. My first visit was unremarkable. On my second visit, I served a tepid mocha in a water glass. I was pretty disappointed, much like a dog thinking it's going to the park but ending up at the vet. I would have asked for it to be remade properly, but I found the baristas to be a chilly as the overpriced drinks they were serving. I don't mind paying $6 for a mocha when I can actually enjoy it. But $6 for a poorly made and poorly served coffee was vexing to say the least. read more

As a dedicated coffee lover, Velocity coffee is genuinely one of the best coffee shops i've tried. The coffee is crafted with care and precision and you can tell by watching the employees make the beverage. The atmosphere is also very laid back and gives off good vibes. If you are ever in Port Townsend make sure to stop by, you won't regret it. (Also, shout out to Jeff who made my drink, he was super friendly and did a great job). read more

The latte and muffins were great. Very busy on a Sunday morning but they are pretty quick at serving folks. Lots of tables inside and out. Very nice atmosphere. read more

best iced latte i've had in awhile. perfect ratios and friendly staff. came from out of town and will definitely be back.

Love this hip little place tucked away near the docks near downtown Port Townsend. Has a very laid back vibe-- I spent a good hour sipping on my delicious cappuccino and journaling. The chocolate walnut cookies were good, too! Definite coffee pit stop if you're cruising through town read more
