Victrola Coffee Roasters

Victrola was my first stop the morning of my birthday, and I couldn't have picked a better spot to go to! The ambiance was cozy and reflective of Seattle's frequent rainy weather, plus lots of really cool things to look at and purchase. The baristas were so fun to talk to about coffee and things to do in Seattle - one of them even recommended the second tour I went on that day, the Seattle underground tour! The other barista made the best pumpkin spice latte (has a different name but unfortunately I forgot it) I've ever had - still thinking about it to this day. Overall it was a great visit and I can't wait to go back again!

Cute coffee place right near the water in downtown Seattle. They have a pretty basic menu but great coffee espresso and lattes. Cute areas to sit down and plenty of places to people watch. Great place too! Stop by and grab a quick cup of coffee if you're around the area.

must've been an off day because the cold brew I got was very sour and I couldn't even finish it. also was not sure how I felt about the service I received from the cashier. The person ahead of me had an engaging conversation and was helped attentively. I asked for a cold brew and was immediately responded and asked with "Okkayyyyy? What size?" (That's how it sounded like, at least). When it was time for the person behind me to do, the cashier had a more cheerful attitude. Again maybe I overthought it and was an off day, but I don't think I'll be coming back to this location.

Nothing really to rave about. The menu is basic. The staff was friendly and the decor looked promising from the outside. It's unfortunate the location drew a lot of homeless folks loitering around their storefront making it not welcoming.

I was visiting Seattle and enjoying a walk around the city. I decided to pop in for an afternoon pick-me-up, and this coffee shop was conveniently located, had lots of places to sit and rest, and didn't have a line like the other coffee places down the block. I didn't let Victrola's lack of popularity deter me! There were a few baked goods for sale that didn't look appetizing at all, so I wasn't tempted. Ordering was quick and easy, and the barista was casually friendly - not overly warm or welcoming, but who cares if the coffee's legit. I chose a regular cappuccino and took a seat. I liked that my coffee to stay was served in a proper ceramic cup. Other places I visited on this trip put my coffee in a paper cup, which I can't stand when I'm "dining in." The espresso was hot and tasty, not super velvety or anything that stood out as being extraordinary, but in a sea of coffee shops in a city that has a glut of them, this was a solid cappuccino. The beans were obviously high quality, and the crema and foam were both thick and rich. But at just over $7 for a small, plain cappuccino including tax and tip, it's overpriced. To be fair, EVERYTHING in Seattle is astronomically priced, and $6+ is the going rate for a coffee beverage. My coffee art was mediocre and if you care about that sort of thing, you'll be disappointed. I also carry my own Splenda with me always, since hipster coffee joints like this don't usually offer it. If you're picky about your sweeteners (like me), always have a supply on hand yourself. All in all, Victrola Coffee Roasters delivered what I needed it to, and that was a hot and tasty dose of caffeine. Would I seek this place out again? Probably not, but they put out a quality product.

Ordered a vanilla oat milk latte & one of their seasonal teas. Latte was delicious - definitely worth to stop by when you're downtown! My friend loved her tea as well. Very kind employees & loved the space too!

A fine spot for coffee. I got a dirty chai this morning, and it was a really good drink! I do wish there were more spots to sit - especially near outlets. I saw a few people walk in, not find seats, and then walk right back out.

One of the best coffee spots I've had so far in downtown Seattle! I got a caramel iced latte and it was super delicious. They shared that they get their caramel from a local shop that specializes in it. I was recommended this place by a coworker and I'm glad I came! I even picked up a bag of dark roast coffee beans to try at home. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area.

I'm really glad we stopped by here yesterday and this morning. Alexa and her coworker provided exceptional customer service. Yesterday, they were getting ready to brew more house coffee and she asked which beans I preferred. I opted for the Ethiopian and I was so impressed!!! There are not that many coffee shops that will have 2 options for house coffee. For a batch brew, they have it dialed in as I noticed the berry notes right away. We stopped by again this morning and they were getting ready to brew another batch. Alexa remembered me from yesterday and made another batch of the amazing Ethiopian beans. I enjoyed it so much, that I had to pick up a freshly roasted bag. My wife ordered the latte and she enjoyed it. Thank you again, Alexa! Cheers!

The vanilla iced coffee was fair tasting, not as caffeinated as I hoped. The friendly customer service lacked. It didn't create a comfortable environment to be in as the wonderful Anchorhead Coffee offered with their better tasting vanilla iced coffee.
