Elm Coffee Roasters

All of the coffees they serve are roasted in the back room. They roast Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there are large viewing windows to see the action. Cupping and brewing classes are held in the back area. I tried two different coffees. First was spiced coffee, it was amazing!!! I was afraid that it might be to sweet, but it is actually not. The sweetness is perfect. And I tried one and one. If you want to taste their coffee bean original teste and also want a macchiato, it is a good option.

I'm visiting Seattle this past week and I've been to a different coffee spot every morning. This one is my favorite. The space inside is not too big. It's not too crowded. The latte was excellent, had that nice aromatic lightly roasted after taste. And on a hot day their strong ac made it very comfortable. The service was really nice too.

If you like rich, earthy (but not super bitter) lattes, Elm is THE best place in Seattle. Their main blend has a velvety mouth feel and strong cocoa notes. The shop is really just the front half of the roastery, so you get to see the business actually operating around you. It's not the sort of coffee shop that's ideal to hang out in for hours and work or read - it is a bit too small, and a bit too busy, for that. But it's great for sitting and enjoying the delicious coffee you ordered!

No upcharge for alternative milks!! That's fantastic. It's the little things that set coffee shops apart. My mind was blown when I was told there is no extra charge for oat milk. I'm not a coffee drinker but my chai was on point. This is a cool quiet cafe I stopped in on a rainy Seattle day. I was a fan of the overall ambiance of the cafe.

I went a little overboard and ordered their flight, the "one of everything": espresso, brewed coffee, and macchiatto with a tonic water. I went with the macchiato first because it was the cutest and I really wanted to try it, but halfway I downed the espresso shot and was wired! Loved it. I probably could have stopped here but I still had the brewed coffee and I was here for a good time. The brewed coffee was a bit more watery, but with this intense trio that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At $5.50 this is a pretty nice experience! This isn't exactly the best space to hang out since seating is quite limited and I'd only come in pairs or alone since the tables are smaller. The ambiance is chill and clean and I found a table in the corner so I had a great time.

Latte art made in perfection. The baristas were really nice and professional. The currently used espresso (Ethiopia Tadesse Wonka) has a lot of 'floral' acid that caused heartburn in me. But this is just a personal preference. The quality of the beans is nevertheless high end. This should be one of the best coffeeshops downtown Seattle.
