The light fixtures are nice but the bright menu screens and uncomfortably tall stools make for an uncomfortable experience. My coffee was full of grounds at the bottom and very tasteless for Cafe Umbria coffee. The barista was incredibly friendly and kind but it was also just too expensive for a drip coffee that didnt taste good ... Sadly, I will not be going back. Hard to compete with Cafe Fiore and The Nook directly across the street. read more

Meh. Super excited to support the new local business. (Skipped Fiore to try this place) The coffee wasnt that great. Free poured my latte so it was almost all foam. Tasted burned. 1st attempt --- but will try again hopefully will be better. Very bright inside, almost like being inside a lightbulb. Hope some art arrives soon. Staff was friendly and welcoming but the "art" of making coffee hasn't been trained. read more

The gals here are ALWAYS so nice. Not only do they have great snacks and amazing coffee but they always make it a great experience to be in the coffee shop. I almost always choose it over the 3 other coffee shops within walking distance! read more

Good vibes, great coffee and good service! Space is tiny and the layout a bit hectic imo but unavoidable with a tiny spot. Def good oat mocha poured well and with a smile! #forkandbrains read more

West Seattle Grounds - Oat milk mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I walked in the morning WSG opened and was a bit of a tool to the young lady behind the counter. Questioning West Seattle's need for yet another coffee shop. With no hesitation, manager Michelle, schooled me on what differentiates WSG from the rest of the shops down the street. Loved her aggressive enthusiasm and her lighthearted delivery describing their coffee roasts, the local pastry companies they buy from, etc. WSG has been a happy habit ever since. Michelle and her wonderfully friendly staff serve a tasty shot in the dark, ready smiles and sincere welcome each time I step through the door. I'm hooked. Randall B read more

A wonderful, welcoming neighborhood spot. Great, friendly service and delicious drinks. Have gotten hooked on the chai with oat milk. A place I want to support. read more

The best Chai lattes!!! They don't use the standard chai out of a box like everyone else. They have a local vendor that they get it from. I love this place! It's clean, friendly, great coffees and teas, and now they have wine!! The ladies that work here are so sweet and friendly with my children. There are always police and firefighters in here who are also super friendly with all the kids and adults too. What's not to love about this place?!? read more

Cute west seattle spot to load up on some caffeine. Girls here are always super nice, Michelle the manager is a gem! The decor is on point, and so are the products that they stand by. They have music and wine nights every few Fridays and they love supporting local businesses. Good spot to sit, drink some coffee, and work on the laptop for a few hours too. Check it out! read more

I absolutely love West Seattle Grounds. It is so cute and cosy: the perfect place to hang out with friends for a cup of coffee or to enjoy ice cream. It's very kid friendly and the staff are extremely kind and helpful. The decor there is nice and welcoming plus they have a TV that shows the latest news and the time, which is nice if you want to quickly grab a cup of coffee and then head to work. They'll also give you a discount if you live in the neighborhood area. I have a severe nut allergy which they took very seriously and made sure my food wasn't even near nuts as to not risk contamination. I go there often, and absolutely love it. (Get the Affogato, it's so good! They will also substitute the coffee in it with hot chocolate for kids if you ask for it at no extra cost!) read more

Great coffee. Best macchiato I've had in Seattle. Nice vine and outside seating as well. Good pasties as well.

Consistently fast and great coffee drinks! Good selection too and great for anyone with a lactose allergy, for example, their egg nog can be made without milk!! Also they support local art and the food bank. It's great that this place cares about the wellbeing of the community. I feel genuinely inspired by what this place represents. Great coffee? Check. Local art? Check Humanitarianism? Check Mulled wine? They have that too :) read more

At the barista's recommendation I ordered a coconut latte with oat milk and it was EXCELLENT! Sweet, but not too sweet, and just enough coconutty flavor. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I've been coming to West Seattle Grounds since it opened last Fall and I have to say I just love it. The staff is always so great and it's also a quiet and clean place to bring your laptop and get work done. I'm also a big matcha gal & they make theirs the traditional way using a whisk and ceramic bowl!! It turns out so good :) Excited for it to be open during summer so we can walk to/from the shop. read more

Really love the shaken iced lattes. Makes a frothy, cold drink and I appreciate that I'm not getting ripped off by a cup of ice. The staff is friendly- the perfect amount of chatty that isn't forced or awkward. The atmosphere is perfect for being productive and getting work accomplished. Additionally, I love the variety on doughnut Friday. This shop is a great new addition to the West Seattle community. read more

Sometimes I can't decide where I want to go work for a few hours, and then I find myself parking at West Seattle Grounds. Higher seating/table options are awesome for alternating between sitting and standing. Bright and light filled, drip coffee and americanos are excellent, and the staff (especially Michelle!) is warm and welcoming. The egg sandwiches and prepackaged sandwiches and wraps make it pretty easy to stay for awhile. read more

My favorite Americano in west Seattle for sure! Plus a great vibe and atmosphere. And it's next to mio

The coffee is good. The service is apauling. Incredibly rude and disrespectful manager that has forgotton where her paycheck comes from. Stay away read more

Cute building but they missed the mark on style. Like they tried and they missed, which is kind of worse than not trying. There's like 25 clear globe lights with Edison bulbs in them, and the seating is odd. I could get past it if they had great coffee but the espresso was burnt. There's much better places to get coffee nearby. read more

West Seattle Grounds has quickly become my new go to in the mornings and especially on the weekends. The decor is modern and inviting. It's a place you can't help but sit down and relax for 20 minutes while you enjoy your drink. I LOVE a good Chai Tea Latte and WSG has the best I have ever had HANDS DOWN. read more

West Seattle Grounds - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent coffee!!! My first time visiting West Seattle Grounds and I will definitly be back. Beautiful decor and friendly staff.

It was snowing today so a lot of places closed, or did not open at all. West Seattle Grounds was open!! I love the espresso. It has a decadent foam,cream on top, an indicator of the quality of the shot. The two workers are nice, polite, easy to get along with. My girlfriend and I really like them. Thanks!! We both work in the food industry and know how much fun it can be. (: read more

Bad at espresso. Severe lack of dine-in cups. Umbria is not my preference but what they served was awful and I had to pour it out. It does seem like a nice place to sit and in theory they can be taught how to make espresso. Good luck WSG, you need it. read more

Love our neighborhood coffee shop! The baristas are all very friendly and capable. I've always gotten exactly what I've ordered. The space is light and bright and is a great place to bring your laptop and work for a few hours. They also carry a few vegan pastry options which I appreciate! read more

Coffee is ok. Hard to mess up Americanos but lacks taste. Tried coming in multiple times trying the various coffees but mostly bitter. Service is good but the seats are extremely uncomfortable. As a neighborhood coffee shop, hard to support a place when the owners frequently park their vehicles in the no parking space that's there so that fire trucks can move out of street since there is a fire station near by. read more

Great coffee and service during challenging days of covid. Thank you for making all wear masks and limiting folks inside. Excellent breakfast sandwich as well. read more

Great neighborhood coffee place, unpretentious and rarely a wait. The coffee is good, and something about the coziness always makes me want hot chocolate even though my go-to is an americano. I do not like the digital signage behind the counter as I think it takes away from the overall feel. But I don't really notice it as the staff is what I really look for in a regular spot: unfailingly friendly and kind. read more

Dont like this place. Beautiful decor, but coffee isn't nearly as good as Cafe Fiore. Milk was overheated, no nice foam. If You want to have properly made coffee from Umbria, go to Pioneer Square. They take pride in their coffee making. Also, don't share anything too private, the baristas share Your business with other people that come in. Inappropriate. So I learned my lesson. read more

Seems like this place could hire a 2nd barista. The girl who was working this morning seemed very overwhelmed being the only person working. The wait took 10 mins for a 12oz dirty chai and breakfast sandwich. The barista remembered the drink but forgot the sandwich which extended the already long wait time. She didn't seem apologetic and more annoyed . Probably because she doesn't have any help. Dirty chai came out Luke warm. Very disappointed with the overall experience. Would not recommend West Seattle Grounds. read more

My favorite new West Seattle coffee shop. Such friendly employees and the owner is great. The coffee is fantastic and the food is incredible. It's also very kid friendly and has live music and beer at night. Doughnut Saturdays with my daughter is a new tradition here. read more

This is the best little coffee house in Seattle. Not just west Seattle. The staff makes great coffee using Umbria and they are very welcoming and it makes a great way to begin the day. Go try it. read more

Love this new, bright, modern coffee shop! The girls working were so friendly and nice. Had an Americano which did not disappoint. The 16oz comes standard with 3 shots. I am so appreciative that they serve a good selection of gluten free baked goods. The pumpkin muffin was recommended by the staff and it was amazing. Great music, comfy stylish bar stools. I'll be back! read more

Finally a modern & chic coffee house! Espresso and Panini did not disappoint! Definitely will be my new coffee spot!

I always enjoy the coffee and the folks that work there, very friendly and personable. My consistent irritation is with the clueless clientele that camp out with their headphones on having business phone meeting for hours on end. Its a small shop so there's no escaping it. Totally disrespectful to everyone else in there hoping for a peaceful start to their day. read more

Don't listen to the other reviews, this place is outstanding!! Great coffee, really nice staff, beautiful and comfortable space, my new favorite work spot. read more

I love this bright little place! It's perfect for fetching a cappuccino on the way home from walking my dog in the evening. Give this new business a try! read more

The atmosphere is cold and uninviting. White prison walls with no art on them. Coffee is meh. I've had better elsewhere. I asked for a donut on a Sunday morning and they said they only carry them on certain days.....so then why are they even on the menu? Probably won't return which is a shame because I live 2 blocks from this place. read more

I was sooooopo disappointed. I walked over tonight to get an evening latte only to find them locked up and closed. If you are posting that you are open until 8pm and don't want to honor that schedule then change your signage. read more

The service sucked today and gal was overwhelmed and rude. The place is nice but the employee sucked. I don't think the barista cared about customer service at all because I have had better service at McDonald's.............. read more

Was in West Seattle visiting and stopped into West Seattle Grounds before my flight back home. Had an awesome Matcha Latte! Great atmosphere, good music, and awesome people working! Michelle is an awesome barista! She works during the week in the mornings and is wonderful! I definitely recommend WSG! read more
