Anchorhead Coffee Co - Seattle

LOVE this coffee shop! I stumbled across this place on a work trip a while back, and when coming back to Seattle this time, I couldn't wait to visit again. It's still just as good as I remember! Coffee is smooth and flavorful. The flavored lattes are not over sweetened like a lot of places and the atmosphere is great to sit and relax.Food: 5/5

Situated just minutes away from the major shopping centers of Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee offers a wide range of coffee and pastries.If you’re looking for Third-Wave Specialty Coffee shop that is still within walking distance from Pike Place Market and Saks on Fifth, this is the place to go.They offer both house blend and single origin for espresso, and they used the Narwhal House Blend for their brewed coffee (picture attached).I really love and appreciate their brewed coffee. It’s really sweet and balanced!Besides the usual unsweetened coffee offerings, they also sell flavored latte using homemade syrups. I like their burnt honey latte. The burnt honey syrups lent sweetness and complexity to the drink.Anchorhead also stocks retail coffee beans for sale.

The coffee here was perfect, not overly sweet or bitter, they also have seasonal drinks. I got their seasonal Tangerine Carmel latte, it has a hint of tangerine and not over baring. Love how the employees treated a homeless person asking for water. They gave water and talk to them with kindness.

Anchorhead offers great coffee(and special lattes), chill atmosphere, and their staff/barista are super friendly too. The store is spacious and good for some casual working on the laptop too! Food: 5/5

Seattle may be the birthplace of Starbucks, but there are a lot of other coffee places in Seattle that need to be checked out. Anchorhead is one of those coffee places. I stayed not too far from Anchorhead and ended up getting coffee both mornings. Plus I even bought a bag of coffee beans to bring home!
