Ballard Coffee Works (2025)

New fave coffee place. The space is open, with large windows - great for people-watching. The music is a pleasant change from the usual Seattle indie rock to mellow Spanish guitar. Coffee's amazing!

The baristas were so nice and didn't mind helping me pick something off the menu since I'd never been before. The soy caramel latte was honestly the best coffee drink I've had. The shop was beautiful.

This is my go-to place for good coffee in Ballard. Their Lattes are perfect, every time. Staff is super friendly, pretty solid (FREE) wi-fi connection too... Can't lose at this place.

Cure for the mid-aft slump: order "straight shot and a beer" (and skip the bubbles, you have beer and two hands!). Then sip both from the patio while people watching.

If you are in a caffeine free mood ---They have the best decaf espresso I have tried. The barista said their process removes all the caffeine.

Customer service here is super nice! Great spot to do some reading, writing or work. Really enjoyed the blueberry hibiscus tea on ice.

Newly opened in the past month or two. Located in the old Tully's space. This intersection now has a Starbucks and an indie facing off against each other. Read more

Good atmosphere, talentented baristas, there’s no tip jar, so it’s a tip-free establishment.

Espresso. I love that they sale commuter cups that are also French presses

Beautiful new cafe by the folks who run Seattle Coffee Works. It's a community center as well. Baristas are trained pretty well! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Organic fresh brews in this cozy Ballard hot spot. ☕️ 🌟

Excellent beans to take home with you.

Sebastian is a master of coffee. If its quiet, hit the slow bar and learn about your beans and brew methods!

Oat, almond, and hemp milks available!

Hands down the best place to study in Ballard. Lots of seating and plug ins available.

BEWARE! Don't take your dog! Not allowed inside & if you leave out by the water bowl, they'll call pound & report him "abandoned." NO ONE EVER EVEN ASKED Whose dog is outside or checked collar tags.

Space Blend (the main espresso blend) just scored a ridiculously high 93 points at coffeereview.com. That's a total top score in Seattle!

Delicious iced vanilla latte, chill vibe, great for working

Great coffee, but completely unreliable. Don't waste your time if you're trying to hang out and get work done.

Great staff, knowledgeable, experimental, great place, great spot.

The espresso is great! Cool atmosphere and awesome people

They have a cute, private Community Room that you can use for studying or reserve for a group meeting.

Good coffee and great service. Very friendly folks!

Grab a cold brew coffee in a frosted glass and sit on the patio.

The iced Americano was the best I've had!
