Storyville Coffee Company

Easily my favorite coffee shop. First off the coffee is absolutely delicious it’s top quality. My favorite is the caramel latte and the caramel is house made. Also there’s a decent amount (and variety) of seating plus thoughtfully designed with well placed outlets and higher footrests at the bar (for us on the shorter side). On top of that the staff is very friendly which make visits enjoyable.
My only setback from this otherwise amazing coffee shop is the prices of the beverages and food. It’s definitely a little more spendy than other shops but I do understand it’s the quality they of their products but it does limit me a little on how often I frequent the shop.

What an utter delight. The service is patient and kind, and the atmosphere is perfect for huddling with a laptop or book for a couple hours. Plus, the breakfast sandwich is ridiculously good.

One of my favorite places to get coffee, curl up by the fire, and read a good book.
The prices are a tad on the expensive side but it’s worth every penny. Their caramel is made from scratch which makes for a decadent caramel latte. The cinnamon roll hearts are small enough to get your fix but not large enough to feel guilty. It’s the perfect little treat. Never had anything I didn’t love here.

My favorite coffee spot.
The breakfast sandwich is amazing.

Coffee– delicious.
Service– serendipitous.
Atmosphere– fictitious.
Ok, my rhyming skills are lacking. But really, both times I’ve been to Storyville have been great. I’ve had the iced lattes and cold brewed coffee (which is intense!), along with the cheese platter. Everything has been high quality, and every barista I’ve had actually is a human and has a (fun) personality.
When we stopped in today, our group of four noticed a board game out called irk! We decided to stay, although we got our coffee to go, since we’ve been on a gaming kick lately. The barista with the wooden glasses (sorry, didn’t look for your name!) taught us how to play. It was a lot of fun, even though I lost. We will come back next weekend so I can try and spruce up my gaming reputation while getting our espresso for dining in, so I get it in the glass cup and which usually comes with a pretty lil drawing in the foam.

Coffee was great. Staff was energetic and attentive. Space has room for lingering and room for working. Music was at a background level-​allowing you to hear it without drowning out your conversation or personal thought. There is not much more I can ask for from a coffee shop. I was a little worried because of the décor when I walked in. It is gorgeous, but frequently I get «we spent money on the décor, not the product» experiences. Well, they spent money on both. And succeeded on both.

My and a buddy went last week for coffee and light breakfast. We waited at the front of the restaurant for 4 – 5 minutes before being acknowledged by the staff behind the counter, despite the fact that there was only one customer in the entire place at the time. We both ordered lattes and breakfast items. My ham and cheddar croissant was tiny and cold, and I’m not sure there was ham or cheddar. My buddy ordered a breakfast sandwich that was ridiculously small and bland. The coffee was very disappointing as well. We actually ended up going across the street to Starbucks because we both still wanted coffee afterwards. I cannot think of reason to return.

Storyville Coffee serves the best coffee in Seattle. It is also the best place to get coffee in Seattle because of their incredibly friendly service and beautiful cafes. On top of everything, they offer a free slice of amazingly moist and decadent chocolate cake served one time per day!

Pros: great atmosphere, cosy and spacious, love that living-​room-​feel fireplace! Not loud.
Cons: not impressed by the drinks and snacks there. Coffee was ok. The hot chocolate didn’t taste like real hot chocolate at all but rather some fake instant powder. The homemade pretzel, dull.

just us two girls catching up and this place was absolutely perfect. tough competition b/​c seattle is full of incredible cafes and coffee shops.
great service, super friendly baristas, awesome atmosphere. relatively big place — plenty of seats by the window, couches, seats.
we chose a bunch of things from their menu — basically breakfast and a light lunch, we were there so long. we got the best seats in the house — two leather arm chairs right in front of the fireplace.
ordered a latte, macchiato, croissant and a savory muffin. all delicious. after that, we got a pot of coffee, charcuterie plate, a fresh pretzel, and one of their cinnamon buns. the charcuterie was ok — not my fave. but the pretzel was warm and fresh and served with our dijon mustard.
great place to hang out and have some good coffee. not disappointed.
street parking is pretty easy.

Came in for the first time today after meaning to stop by for a while. Really cute interior with a fireplace & great cold brew!
The barista mentioned that they have a cool subscription box-​type service that delivers coffee beans! Pretty cool gift idea.

Ahh, remembering this coffee from previous visits. Even the decaf is rich and full of flavor. It is truly the ambiance that keeps me coming back though. Comfy leather couches, warm wood interior complete with a fireplace. Add decent lighting and power and you have a great hangout on a blustery day.

This. Place. Is. Life.
First of all, whoever runs their marketing department is a genius times 10. I felt like I was walking into the Nordstrom’s of coffee/​pastries. Everything from napkins to cups and even the numbers you take to the table to wait for your food is branded consistently. I really appreciate this eye candy, I don’t think anyone makes this a priority anymore. All of the colors match and the mack daddy espresso machines look perfect with the backdrop of cool wood tones!
Everyone is SO friendly, and you feel like you are ordering from friends. I got their pretzel sandwich which was definitely not frozen and then heated up, this thing was made from scratch! YUM! The slightly salted pretzel bun made it amazing! All of their pastries are made from scratch every two hours and displayed beautifully on the counter behind the baristas. They are mouth watering with selections like strawberry goat cheese croissant and other amazing combinations.
In short, get here and experience it. Great way to sit down with a friend and catch up or grab a pampering snack and coffee on the way to work!
PS whoever has the words «love everybody, never ever hurt anybody» is good on me.

Way super cute with a menu full of amazingly gorgeous treats. I loved this place because it had the well-​brewed, quality artisan coffee Seattle is known for with enough delicious food to sooth any sweet tooth.
I’m not gluten free, but the gluten free chocolate cake here is mind blowing. You do not need a dietary restriction to order this. It’s like chocolate cake minus all the fillers – all chocolate, no unnecessary ingredients. It doesn’t compromise on texture to achieve that, either. To be honest, this had a better texture than most normal chocolate cakes I’ve had.
My friend ordered the oatmeal with fruit and it was completely delightful. Healthy, but with plenty of flavor, and the presentation was gorgeous.
If I’m ever in the neighborhood again, I will go out of my way to get this coffee. It was worth every penny we paid and it was absolutely charming.

Probably one of the coolest espresso bars I’ve ever been to, with really friendly/​cool staff and good music vibes. Great place to do work or read. The espresso is damn good, and the atmosphere is clean, local, quiet, and friendly.
Things to note:
–If you want coffee you’ll have to order a French press!
*Update: this place is freaking amazing. New favorite espresso bar, hands down.

Immediately when you walk in, this warmth and aroma hits you and you’re like, «This is a good spot.» That’s exactly what you want to be enveloped by in search of coffee especially in Seattle on rainy days. The rustic yet modern décor is welcoming, chic and cozy. The fireplace is inviting and surrounded by cushioned seats and couches along with small tables throughout and bartop seating along the windows. The baristas are welcoming and take their craft seriously. There are hand menus for reference and breakfast offerings until 11am and freshly baked goods all day. Most importantly, there’s good espresso. The flavor tends towards a more medium blend, but is smooth and delicious. I tried the mocha which uses real syrup but was not bitter or too sweet. My barista even «poured his heart out for me» with devine heart-​shaped coffee art. I also tried the big chocolate chip cookie with sea salt which was pleny for 2 and was delicious! Great texture, chewy, gooey and slightly crisp just on the edge. My friend frequents this spot regularly and enjoys their breakfast sandwiches. The sandwich is on the smaller side compared to most American offerings these days but is plenty to keep you fueled. Prices are equivalent to the norm these days. Parking can be difficult in upper Queen Anne depending on the day and time but there’s plenty of street options around the neighborhood. There are several locations throughout Seattle but this location offers some better seating options; however, it is a popular spot and tends to get busy. Definitely a spot to check out!

I’m always looking for good coffee shops to work from remotely… and this is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Baristas are so nice and kind of feel like old friends. Coffee is strong and skillfully crafted.
Virtual office review:
Plenty of plugs
Strong wifi
2 hour parking on nearby streets or even more than that if you park in a neighborhood
Great coffee
Amazing pastries
Good lunch spots nearby if you need something more than a pastry

«Stylish, sophisticated, caffeinated.»
To coffee connoisseurs this place is more than just a normal drip served in a plastic to go cup. Storyville completes its serving of caffeinated goodness in a stylishly decorated shop. Natural wood paneled counters and leather sofas welcome the patrons as if one has arrived at an oasis. The simplified ordering process and uncased baked goods is a delightful welcome to the traditional glass display. The overall design provides a sophisticated ambience that is both uncluttered and unlike most coffee houses.
I ordered an Iced Americano. The coffee was well-​balanced and did not have the taste of a generic over-​roasted brew. I also tried a salted caramel and found it as a great compliment to my beverage. Overall the ambience, friendly staff, and excellent coffee definitely wins my vote. Prices are reasonable and seating is available both in and outdoors.

My first Storyville Coffee experience will be a memorable one! I came in, promptly greeted by one of their friendly baristas. I originally wanted an earl grey tea latte (a london fog) but since they didn’t carry eary grey tea, I just opted out for a vanilla latte. I loved the ambience of the place, especially their small patio area. I was at the café for a couple of hours till I was surprised with a free chocolate cake by one of their baristas! They were going around, offering a slice to their customers. Now this is what I call a stellar customer service.

My first visit here and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it here! The location in Queen Anne was great and the store was nicely laid out, comfortable and very inviting!
The staff really made the visit even better and that is so much appreciated! They seemed glad I was there and made some dessert recommendations that were spot on!
The coffee was likely some of the best I’ve had in Seattle and that’s saying something! If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would! Make this a place to go, and you won’t be disappointed!
