Best coffee I had in Seattle. Got my usual sugar free vanilla latte, it wasn't too heavy on the foam - great coffee. Decent prices. Did the breakfast ham sandwich (the ten minute wait seems weird) - comes out burning hot. The ham wasn't bad, added good flavour to the sandwich, egg was almost rich and creamy, needed more chipotle mayo. Not sure what kind of bread was used, didn't appear to be an English muffin unless they crisped the hell out of it, came across as a pastry. They had a good flow of traffic on a Monday morning, line was almost out of the door at one stage. read more

1. Friendly service. 2. Excellent latte with bobs red mill instant oatmeal as an option. They filled it with warm oat milk instead of water per their suggestion and did not charge me extra. Thank you. ( compare to When I was at PCC Bellevue and suggested to get the warmed oat milk, The woman just was like no it's with water. Even though I offered to pay more money.) 3. High ceilings, lots of places to sit. A few outside tables. 4. Clean. Some reading paper options too If you were in the area I recommend it. And again thank you to the team- they were fabulous. read more

We were in Seattle visiting family and my mother in law recommended this place because she knows I like cool local coffee spots. The inside is all brick with original artwork adorning the walls. It definitely has the "hip neighborhood coffee shop" vibe. It is spacious with plenty of seating. I like the bar seating facing the street because you can people watch in a big city while sipping your brew. I did not interact with the staff, but my family said the manager was a little grumpy because she cut her vacation short to cover for 2 people that quit. Maybe it is time to raise the wages here. I got a regular black coffee that ended up being pretty tasteless. It was disappointing because places like this usually blow away the chains on flavor. My wife enjoyed the pastry she got though. I liked the vibe and ambiance of this place, but the coffee wasn't very good. However, "Zeitgeist" is one of my favorite words so points to them for that! read more

Zeitgeist Coffee - Coffee and cookie. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great spot for coffee and good music while waiting for Amtrak around the corner. 5 of us, 5 different drinks, and all were delicious. Well worth the short walk from King Street station, read more

The 'spirit of the times' has high ceilings, plenty of seating, bracing espresso drinks expertly crafted and light airy music. The service was fine and offers discounts for paying cash. The café is located across the street from the Klondike museum which opens at 10am, so it's the perfect place to wait. read more

My café mocha lite was perfect, not too sweet n not bitter. Definitely not "dirty water" as one reviewer from Brazil mentioned. I think it'll give me a delayed burst of energy. Boy, these homeless ppl sure hv guts to ask for free money just cuz I'm tapping on an iPhone doing this review. So sad to see how SEA has become. It seems the city doesn't care that its home is unloved. read more

Amazing customer service and even better coffee. You can tell they truly love what they do and it shows in the quality of their product!

Fabulous coffee in a cute and convenient coffee shop near King Street Station and Lumen Field. Barista was helpful by putting my lid on the cup. read more

Nice find around the corner from our hotel near Pioneer Square. Nice atmosphere with pleasant and helpful staff. They also had a well stocked pastry case. The Heavy Breve and Latte were quite nice. I'll be back next time I'm in the "neighborhood". read more

kids hot chocolate kinda tastes like coffee cinnamon bun was not fresh out of the oven but it's still great

i always come here after i walk my boyfriend to work and i really like it! in terms of drinks, so far i've only gotten iced+hot matcha lattes from here and both are very good! their drinks come unsweetened unless you ask--i believe simple syrup is free? :3 i had their unsweetened hot matcha latte this morning and it was so yum!! it was smooth and tasted slightly nutty. i think next time i'll ask for some simple syrup just because i like my matcha a little sweet. i also got the veggie breakfast sandwich, which was also very delicious :-) and the baristas are nice!! read more

Popped In here for a quick stop before heading out to sight see for the day. The matcha was decent, but the bacon cheddar scone was to die for. So good I wish I had gotten another for later. Close proximity to the train station, embassy suites hotel and the stadium. The lady working the register didn't seem happy to be there, but I enjoyed my breakfast bite nonetheless. read more

Fantastic coffee shop in Pioneer Square. Exposed brick, local art, independent newspapers, and none of it feels douchey. Reasonable prices, especially considering the location. Stop in! read more

A few friends and I wanted to pick a coffee shop to sit at and have some coffee and breakfast while waiting for some more members of our party to arrive in the area. Coffee was great pretty standard - nothing super special or different flavors for specialty drinks. Breakfast wasn't a huge highlight - I ordered the breakfast sandwich and was really excited to have a little spicy Mayo drizzled on there to get that morning kick. The sandwich was warm, but it didn't have a ton of flavor. I didn't taste the spicy Mayo at all, and it was a pretty regular sandwich. The space is nice, but I'd probably explore the other coffee places around here before returning to this one. Nothing was bad, but nothing was really good either. read more

Less than 5 min walk from the Amtrak train station. It was busy around 8am on a weekday but line moves fast. Very friendly, warm baristas. Nice variety of breakfast items. Hubby got a poppy seed bagel split and toasted with cream cheese. Only complaint was that the cream cheese was hard and didn't spread well but it was tasty he said. I tried it and it was fresh. I had an apple turnover and it was absolutely delightful. Soft, fresh and palate pleasing. We got the house drip coffee. It was a medium roast. Plenty of seating available. Cafe was definitely worth the walk from the train station real quick. read more

Beautiful spot, big open windows and good coffee. Had the lavender latte and it was delightful. Also recommend the dark chocolate mocha. Quite atmosphere but plenty of people, cozy vibe. Good place for a chill coffee catch up or doing some work. read more

a classic pioneer square staple. my dad worked in smith tower for years and this was my favorite spot to meet him. love it

The worst part of this place is that everyone loves this place and it isnt a secret spot to come to. Service is always great here, coffee is consistent, and delicious. Love coming here for a coffee before work or for a work meeting. This is not your quick in and out as there are always people but they move quickly. read more

Hands down the BEST coffee shop in Seattle. They're always super busy and yet the service is still really quick. Baristas are all really friendly and remember our orders. Pastries are really good. Their espresso is 10/10. Could not recommend anywhere else for coffee read more

Fantastic coffee. Ham breakfast sandwich is divine (Worth the wait!). Service was awesome and friendly. We'll come by every time were around! read more

I had an excellent vanilla latte with oat milk here. Incredibly smooth, and the exact pick me up I was looking for. Also, the decor and the amount of seating makes it a perfect space for working. read more

Zeitgeist Coffee - Irish cream coffee with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After waiting in line, we were asked to let those behind us go in front of us due to our "large order." (We wanted a pot of coffee to go--nothing fancy or complicated.) So we took our "large order" to Cafe Umbria instead. Which offered actual customer service and a delicious pot of coffee for our group offsite. read more

Hot chocolate was great, coffee good, egg sandwich delicious. Perfect coffee house ambiance. I'd give it five stars except they were out of the first three things we tried to order. read more

I was really disappointed by this place after seeing the great reviews. Personally it was due to the cold brew being very dark and bitter, but if this is your taste, then it would be the place for you. Not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing and the cold brew was just not the thing to get. I did like the ambience and the spacious environment. Seems like a good place to chill and study! read more

Great place for a pick-me-up coffee to go. I had a chai latte with oat milk one day & a dark mocha with oat milk before heading out through King's Street Station. It looks like the type of place I would have enjoyed sitting or studying at, as it was super spacious with large windows. read more

Man.... Where should I start? Well long story short I had a really rough day today at work filled with meetings and barely having any time to eat or even drink. I ran over to this coffee shop in hopes of grabbing a quick bite with a cup of coffee and my goodness it was horrible!!! Coffee wasn't good and my Breakfast Sandwich (which I waited for 20min) was completely burnt!!! Like I can throw it at a window and bust a window open burnt. Just a heads up to everyone that wants a quick bite or coffee, just go to Starbucks at that point!! read more

Zeitgeist Coffee - Ham breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We saw this coffee shop just down the street from our hotel. Looked at the reviews and..... Some of the best coffee I've tasted in a long time. My daughter and I shared an amazing chicken sandwich that was toasted perfectly, and a nice fresh salad. Lots of tables, pleasant service. We will be back a few times this week.... I'm already thinking about that americano ..... read more

I live super close to this place and I always get the locks bagel. It is absolutely amazing and the coffee never disappoints. I would highly recommend anyone go here there in the area. The prices are a little up there, but it is definitely worth a try. Such a cute place with some really great food and coffee. The baristas are always extremely nice and it's super helpful. read more

Good espresso. Good snacks. Near both ferry terminal and King Street train station, and Greyhound.

Great meeting spot, good breakfast and lunch food, and good coffee. My favorite thing is the luxury of having outlets to plug in your phone / devices built into the benches and the window seating. I've been here solo and held some one on one meetings and it's a good place, not quiet like a library where everyone will hear you but not loud to where you have to raise your voice to be heard. I arrived around 11am to an about half full cafe and ordered a pressed chicken sandwich and a salad, and a piping hot apple cider. Everything was delicious and filling. Not too big portion sizes but not small either. I appreciate the recycled packaging, and the ability to sit for more than an hour, people watch through the window and just relax for a bit. I *highly* recommend you stop into the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park across the street! It's free, takes about an hour to mosey through and you can support the National Park Service! read more

From California and could not wait to have a good cup of coffee in Seattle. Coffee in Zeitgeist was delicious Love Seattle coffee.

The energy at this joint was impeccable. Walked in to the shop while I was still half asleep. The barista's warm energy woke me up like a bear waking from hibernation to the warmth of spring. Love all the wood and high ceilings, you can definitely take flight inside safely if you happen to have a magic carpet or a broomstick. read more

Cute coffee shop during my visit to Seattle. Coffee was great. Would definitely come back !

What an interesting coffee shop! I was here on a co-working date with Cara, the Yelp Seattle CM. Let's just say it wasn't the BEST idea planning a co-working sesh in Pioneer Square at the same time as a Mariners game, but whatever. I actually managed to get a (cheap) parking spot like a two minute walk away! I love how open this coffee shop is. Very tall ceilings, lots of windows which brings in lots of natural light. It makes the place feel a lot bigger than it actually is (even though it's a good size to begin with). I went with a soy decaf vanilla latte and was looking forward to potentially trying a breakfast sandwich or something, but was disappointed to find that wasn't being advertised anywhere so I went with a VEGAN chocolate donut... I'm sorry, but non-vegan donuts are where it's at. :/ The coffee itself was yummy - didn't detect vanilla at all so I'm not sure if that got left out or what, but it was still a good latte. It was giant, too! One thing to note if you're coming here to work - I didn't see any outlets... I looked around for them but didn't see any. So make sure your laptop is charged or maybe just ask a barista if there's a prime spot to sit near one. Overall, it's a good place to work. Relaxing atmosphere, good coffee, and plenty of people watching to do when you need to look away from your screen for a minute or two. :-) read more

Awesome customer service, ambiance, and dig the name! best Mocha and doughnuts, thank you! FYI, they are open until 2pm. Yelp and Google are not accurate. Also one of the first places to offer internet (free with purchase?) in the US. Apparently they used some sort of card, comment if you know! read more

My wife and I grabbed a latte, an Americano, and a bite to eat here while walking in Seattle. Nice local place with great service and food.
