The Good Coffee Company

This is the coffee roaster you are looking for. Tucked away in Post Alley, you open the door to Good Coffee Co and are immediately transported into a wonderland of coffee and paraphernalia. I stopped in over lunch and had a wonderful conversation about the history of the company and their offerings, walking out with the best smelling (and cheapest) bag of beans I'd ever bought. I am looking forward to becoming a lifelong patron!

This establishment is one of those “unheard of, how did I NEVER hear of this before, and do I DARE tell the others for fear of it being ruined” places. An unassuming presence, near the waterfront, and the instant you open the door you are welcomed by the exquisite aroma of REAL coffee. Along the wall opposite the counter (and selection of roasted beans, available to measure), are an assortment of coffee machinery, from stovetop espresso to Italian imports. I’ll be returning. I hope you do, too.

I found out about this place because I worked in the same building for awhile. These guys are a father-and-son small business who have been roasting coffee in the same space for at least 30 years. I found their roasts to be delectable, with reasonable prices. They work without advertising and are tucked off an alley so they represent a hidden gem in Seattle. If you care about coffee and enjoy brewing your own, Good Coffee Co. is a great place to go. They even ship coffee using flat-rate shipping, which you can order over the phone.
