Online Coffee Company

I used to go here for years but never reviewed it. sorry! I used to live in the building too so it was convenient… but even after I moved away I still came back because it was a great place to study/​read. thanks!

This place is wonderful. Good coffee and great customer service. The spacious room layout makes it a nice place to study and get work done. They have individual nooks for people who prefer a desk like setting and different sizes tables. I think this place is by far one of my favorite study places in Seattle. Not to mention free coffee refills :)

Hmmm… Online Coffee Company.
While I find this place fairly convenient, it’s definitely not my first choice of places to go to when I have to work. I don’t really enjoy bitter coffee & every latte I’ve gotten here has been so. I keep trying to give it another go, but each time I’ve been somewhat disappointed.
I guess if you’re looking for a place to grab a cup of mediocre coffee & fairly quick internet this would be the place to go.

A Seattle based Internet café and coffeehouse. Okay coffee. Our pot of coffee was brewed fresh but the bold, crisp flavor I was expecting was missing. Perhaps my expectations of first «cup of Joe» in the city were too high. Not bad coffee but I was disappointed.
The real perk, however, is the 30 minutes of free wi-​fi and Internet with a purchase of an item there. There are lots of computer monitors, tables and chairs available.
Just blocks from Pike’s Place Fish Market. It is also a short walking distance from the ferry station. This particular spot is perfectly located for commuters using public transit and out-​of-​town vacationers on their way to downtown Seattle and the fish market.

Not a fan of their coffee whatsoever.
But the space is iight and they use their a/​c!

The best café in Seattle to Get Stuff Done
They have good fresh roasted coffee and actual real savory food, served by award winningly attractive baristas.
But the best reason to come is they directly cater to the «work at a café» demographic. They have a generous supply of tables, chairs and power outlets designed to let you just sit down, plug in, go online, and Get Work Done. You can work solo, or have 4 people at a table, work face to face at a desk, or have a small business meeting or interview. Or get comfy in the couch and read. The wifi is the best of any café I have found.

to those of us needing to crank out some time working on a the old laptup or on-​line, this place is a good send! Clearly, they had us laptop users in mind as they sport outlets that will accomadate 6 three prong plugs. No shortage of outlets here! They do have a variety of carby snacks to keep you blood sugar up as you finish that paper, presentation, etc… Staff is friendly and the coffee I have had seemed strong enough to keep me conscious throughout especially prolonged work sessions. Check them out!

Decent coffee, but the attraction here is space to spread out, hook up to wifi, and knock out some of that work you’ve been putting off. The music is inoffensive, there’s food, the toilets work, and there are plenty of power outlets/​power strips around for your use. There are even entire computer systems for rent if need be. OCC is an office-​away-​from-​home for telecommuters like me.
FYI: I’ve encountered several exceptionally attractive lady-​baristas here. I don’t know if being cute as a button is a hiring prerequisite, but one thing is evident to me: if you prefer coffee drinks served by a barista with shredded clothes and hubcaps stuck through her earlobes, consider going elsewhere for your caffeine fix.

Went here after drinks. This place had a nice setup. Loved the desks for people to work on their computers. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Why then am I giving them only three stars? It’s simple… cleanliness. At least half of the tables hadn’t been cleaned. There was leftover napkins and cups everywhere. It’s not like they were busy, just not spending time enough time keeping up on the cleaning.

What I MEANT to say is, that this is my favorite coffee shop in all of Seattle… actually in the whole entire world.
No joking around this time: I have never had spit in my coffee, (at least that I know of, until that last review I wrote.) I do not even think about getting coffee anywhere else on days that I work.
The baristas are smart and efficient. They remember our drinks, they make them up quickly and deliciously EVERY TIME.
I really like going in to Online for my coffee, and I feel bad that the last review I wrote could have been taken wrong… like specifically, the part about the spit. It was an (apparently) bad joke.

I love chai lattes in all shapes and forms, but I couldn’t appreciate the one I had here. The foam was much too thick. I would have needed a spoon to scoop it up in order to consume it.
I did have a sweet fish-​shaped sugar cookie though (:

Being new to town, I just wandered down Pine until I found a coffee shop, and here we are. I ordered two cappuccinos and a cinnamon bun, both of which were pretty good (the guy in front of me got the last chocolate croissant, agh!).
It was great to just work on some stuff on the macbook. There’s tons of seating, music is pretty quiet and there’s sufficient lighting. I wouldn’t consider hanging out here, it’s definitely more of a «I need to work but don’t want to stay at home to do it» sort of place.

A good place if you have a laptop and need to work for a few hours. You just order the bottomless drip coffee and you’re off. From that perspective it really works for my purposes, and the opening hours are great.
I wish that the drip coffee was better, and that they had a better selection in the display case. They might even benefit from significantly smaller display case, since the times I’ve been there, whatever is sitting inside looks a bit lonely. The cakes also don’t look as good as other places, and if you’re hungry they have very little food to eat.
I wouldn’t make a bee-​line to go to Online Coffee, but it’s not bad.

I’ve always gone to the other location on Olive Way, but I must say, I much prefer this space. I like the high ceilings and all the windows; At the other one there isn’t much light at all. I needs my Vitamin D!
The baristas are friendly enough and thanks to the stupid recession, I only get drip nowadays and this stuff definitely does the job!
I also like the little vintage roaster thing they have set up. Do y’all use that? It’s cool!
I shall now come here for my internetting needs. I hadn’t found a place on First Hill (my hood) that I’d like to hang out at but the bus takes me right here. So, thanks for being alive, dudes!

Upping Online Coffee to 4 Stars. The lattes are really good. And the chocolate croissant I had was decent. Oh, I think they also have public computers you can use (for a fee) if you don’t have a laptop. That’s cool.

I’m so bummed I found out about Online Coffee Co just as I’m getting ready to move away from Seattle.
I love Seattle coffee shops because each place has it’s own character. I avoided Online Coffee Co for the longest time because I thought you had to pay for Internet even if you had your own laptop. Obviously not true, you only pay if you wanna use one their computers. The reason I like Online coffee so much is that it is such a great place to get work done and study. My biggest difficulty with coffee shops is that they are rarely conducive to studying. Small tables, loud music/​noise, and poor lighting is what I often encounter but not here. The tables are large and sturdy. Music and noise is tolerable if your trying to get some work done and the staff is great. Very friendly. Decent coffee. I’ve had better like at Vivace. Probably not great if you wanna mingle and chat and people watch (try Victrola or Café Ladro on 15h for that).
I definitely recommend if you are the studious type.

I have been here twice because my salon is across the street.
The coffee was muddy.
The money grabber (she didn’t make my coffee) was condescending and snide. All this in a 30 second transaction, really.
When my next hair appointment rolls around, instead of being lazy I will walk to the next coffee house.
I refuse to spend $ 4 on bad coffee and bad attitudes.

Hershey’s syrup. That’s why it gets 2 stars.
I’m going to give this a similar review to anywhere else that serves Hershey’s. How can you call yourself a coffee place in Seattle and use ingredients that you’d find at a Duncan Donuts?
If not for the chocolate syrup I’d probably give it a few more stars. The coffee is OK (not the best for all that’s in Capitol Hill), the ambiance is OK (if a bit sterile), it’s roomy, and it’s a great place to get online to get some work done (in fact I’m writing this review on one of their computers now!) But occasionally I’m in the mood for a mocha…
Hershey’s?!? Seriously? That stuff is half high-​fructose-​corn syrup and half candle.
I can’t understand how someone would buy high quality beans, make a decent roast, take the time to brew and pour a decent cup of coffee, and then add one of the cheapest brands of chocolate around? Why not make the lattes with non-​dairy creamer packets?
I’ll change my rating when they change their chocolate syrup. For non-​mocha drinks, they’re decent (although Vivace is by far the best).

Decent coffee

Better than Peet’s (sorta)
