Soho Coffee Co

Great!

FYI — This place is called broadcast coffee now…
Really great stumptown coffee, great tea selections, open space, nice comfortable chairs and sturdy tables for work/​study.
I really liked the large communal table in the middle where people were playing dominoes, reading, chatting, and just hanging out.

I hate to be repetitive but Seattle does have some of the best coffee houses in the world. Set aside I’ve never been to Italy, but to the places I have traveled Seattle is still a stand out.
Soho Coffee Company proves this once again. A tucked away café in the heart of Central has amazing seating, free wifi, a friendly staff and really great coffee.
The bakery is full with (famous with Seattlites) Alki Bakery’s sandwiches and Macrina bakery baked goods. Combine this with Stumptown roasted coffee and the folks at Soho have scored a triple double in the coffee house game.
The owner is nice and sociable as he works behind the counter. This unpretentious coffee house is a must stop either on your way to work or anytime you want to see the real side of Seattle coffee.
With that:
— 5 stars for service
— 3 stars for seating (the sockets are just out of reach)
— 4 stars for the coffee

The service was friendly and fast, coffee was good and food not bad. Try a breakfast sandwich served until noon. Not unique but well done for a coffee shop.
The atmosphere is nice, clean, and quiet. A good place to meet for business or to get some work done.

I manage another coffee shop in Seattle, but on my days off, i usually walk over to Soho to get my morning coffee. Today however, I forgot my wallet and was about to turn around and leave, when the owner waved me back and told me not to worry about it, and that he would spot me today. Small acts of kindness like this is what makes for truly great customer service. I have never been disappointed here, and I’m glad to have a café in the neighborhood that serves Stumptown. Great work guys! keep it up :)

If you want to spend $$ to support local business, this is the place. Not a lot of choices for the Starbuck prices they are asking. No blended ice drink for the hot summer day.
Not really sure how long those few sandwiches lunch have been hanging around. We were there Sat at noon time on a hot summer day.
Nice big, clean place. Since I work really hard for my $$, so I drove 2 more blocks to Starbuck near by, for my Frabbi drink.

This is «my coffee shop.» I live right across the street, and I look forward to going every single weekend (the only time I’m around when they’re open). The service is ALWAYS friendly, and the coffee is great. (I believe they serve Stumptown coffee.) They also serve baked goods from a variety of local bakeries, the names of which escape me right now.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, and the only real noise is from the espresso machine and the banter of the baristas. I think that 3 different baristas here all know my regular drink, which makes me feel pretty welcome.
My biggest/​only complaint is that they close SO EARLY. 6pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends. It’s not in the greatest neighborhood, which might be the reason that they don’t stay open in the evening. Still, it would be nice to go and hang out here in the evening after work — the next closest coffee shop is a Starbucks and I’m not interested in going there for anything.
I’m a fan of Soho.
[ Update: Soho’s owner messaged me to let me know that they are expanding their hours and they are now open until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Nice! So keep your eyes peeled for different hours than I mentioned above. ]

Came to Soho because I saw on a link (Twitter, maybe) that they carried gluten-​free goodies.
I asked the barista about what they had available and he took the time – there was no one waiting – to explain the full array of cookies, muffins, coffee cake, etc., and that he had tasted each one (well, not *exactly* each one of *these*) and chose them personally from the Flying Apron bakery options. For the gluten-​tolerant, they have a large selection of Macrina scones, cookies, etc.
Settled on a chocolate chip cookie and a soy mocha… yum!
Service is exemplary!
Atmosphere is relaxed, with several people on laptops, couches and easy chairs, as well as tables and chairs.
Street parking was easy to find
Have already been back again, and will be making this a regulalr stop!

Pros: An abundance of baked goods from Flying Apron and Macrina Bakery; proximity to an awesome park; plush couches; Stumptown Espresso; Great seating.
Cons: Its in the Central District, which I love, but some folks strongly dislike.

Cute little coffee place right outside of Pratt Park in the Central District (née Area).
Plenty of seating inside, good selection of pastries and the baristas did a good job with my mocha. It’s nice to have this here when I’m taking my kid to Pratt park for some morning activity, especially in the winter when hanging outside is his idea of a good time (not mine) :-)
Nothing out of this world, hence the 4 not 5 star review.

A friend and I were wondering through the neighborhood and decided to grab a cup of coffee. We stumbled upon this place and stepped in. It was nice and welcoming. The ladies working the counter were beyond friendly and made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time here. There were several tables around the outside of the shop, but my friend and I snagged a couch right in the middle of the room. They were comfy and made the perfect atmosphere for sipping coffee. The coffee was delicious and made very well. It was served hot, but not too hot to prevent immediate drinking. If this place is in your ‘hood, I suggest checking it out and maybe becoming a regular.

There’s nothing not to like about SoHo coffee co. Coffee is good, baristas are good, pastries are good. What I really love is the atmosphere it’s friendly, inviting and a place you want to hang out with friends or just people watch. I’ve never had a problem with street parking and the regulars make it feel a real neighborhood spot.

My friend and I were looking for a place to have coffee and an informal business meeting. We are happy we discovered Soho Coffee and have gone there again since, and plan to make it our regular place.
They have a relaxed friendly atmosphere, plenty of electrical outlets for your laptop, and comfy seating choices (more than just tables & chairs). There’s several sofa and plush chairs and some small love-​seat type arrangements. The music is not too loud, so you can have a normal conversation without shouting.
The neighborhood is quiet and there’s lots of windows for you to look out and enjoy the trees and weather.
Besides that, the coffee, food and service is excellent too.
All and all, Soho is a very inviting relaxing place to hang out. Thumbs up!!!

This is the best coffee in the city! I stop here almost every day, and the coffee is perfect every time.
The thing that made me write this review was that today I knocked my mocha off the counter. Before I could turn around and ask for a towel one of them was making me another drink and the other was getting a mop. They were so nice about me making a huge mess. Customer service like that is so hard to find.

This is my neighbourhood coffee shop. They serve Stumptown Coffee, Herbal Philosophy Tea (pretty good!), and yummy-​looking baked goods. On a warm sunny day, I enjoy walking over to this coffee shop, get a cup of Americano, grab a copy of The Stranger or Seattle Weekly, sit down (inside the café or in Pratt Park), and read the newspaper.
The staff are friendly; the coffee tastes good. It is a nice local hangout place.

A solid okay from me. We were here on a Sunday morning, a couple patrons were sprinkled in the sunny corner store. The gal working was super sweet but as we stayed on, she became really busy and the line increased. The people in line didn’t seem to mind though which is good.
Fortunately though, we were there before the wait. A couple lattes and breakfast sandwiches for here, please! You can swap the bread for a fancy bagel (at extra cost) if desired. The drinks came out quickly enough and was well-​made but the sandwiches took a bit of time. I believe the eggs were premade and warmed up in the microwave (I didn’t hear sounds of cooking), so it was just okay.
They have specials on weekdays though, which would have cut the cost of a latte plus sandwich by a couple bucks. Nice if you’re around to partake.
The location is prime, across from a park and along a street of interesting stores and services. And the restroom is clean.
I’m rarely in this area, but if I am I wouldn’t mind coming through again. But only if I can tell there’s no line.

Good coffeehouse. I just wish I lived a little farther to the south and west so I’d make it there more often. The atmosphere is relaxed and the hours seem good for a Seattle coffeehouse. I’ve never lived in a city (but I’m from a medium-​sized city) with so few coffeehouses open later.
SoHo has good food, excellent espresso beverages and friendly staff.
I also like that I can pick up some of my favorite free publications and they’re on prominent display.

As a reply to Barry, I’ll write this update. Be careful, Barry, and all other business owners; we have record of our conversations, and can (and will post them here). Here’s what I wrote back to Barry after his nice note to me.
«Thanks for your reply, Barry-I’ll stop in again sometime soon. Yeah, getting one more person to help during „the morning rush“ would definitely pay off!!!»
No where in there did I say I would update my review, although I gave them another star for effort. What can I say; I’m a sucker for expeditious coffee… but I’m sure others are not. Again, be careful, business owners, record of conversation is priceless!

Weird, I’d already written a review of this place when it was café vega but that business listing disappeared and so did my review and the pictures I had uploaded. :(
Anyway, I come here relatively often after a yoga class down the block at Samarya. In addition to the normal espresso beverages, they also have bagels, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt and granola and other snacky things. Free wireless. The walls have local artists and they have the stranger, seattle weekly, etc. This seems like it’d be a good place to work on your laptop if you’re tired of fighting for outlets and table space at capitol hill coffeeshops. It’s still close to everything and has a cozy atmosphere.

When you live in the CD you need a decent, non-​starbucks coffee hangout.
I go to Douglas-​Truth, get some books and music, then cruise over to Soho. Everyone is nice, coffee is good and the food is a great value!
And it’s so close by. Even if it wasn’t though, I’d still go. I love an egoless coffee shop.
