All City Coffee

A real place with real service providers. None of those ubiquitous cheap inhumane metal seats that cheap owners put in so many cafès. This place has gravitas, a seriousness about espresso, life and being a “public house” that so many places wish for, but have no idea how to get there. The staff focus on that narrow bandwidth of being present yet adhering to barista/service procedures helps move the line along without that lame snootiness of prideful service workers AND no phony nice. This is an urban / urbane place. Be real. Be creative. But don’t gum up the works with your nonsense.

All City Coffee is the epitome of a charming, local coffee shop, and it effortlessly earns every one of its five stars! Nestled in a quaint corner of the city, it exudes an irresistible coziness that instantly feels like a warm hug. The coffee is consistently delicious, offering a delightful array of flavors to suit all preferences. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff and fellow patrons. It's the kind of spot where you can sip your brew, chat with locals, or dive into a good book, making it an essential part of the community. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, All City Coffee is a little haven that brings a smile to your face with each visit. Golden Milk is a must try, very close to haldi dudh.

All City has been one of my favorite shops for years. Places like ACC are what make this city fun and unique as well as being a great community gathering spot. Sit here for 10 mins with a coffee and you’ll see every kind of person you can imagine. A true vestige of old Seattle and Georgetown staple, I hope this place outlives us all. Thanks for always being so cool, love yall!

Great coffee in the heart of Georgetown. Cozy seating. Fun decor. If you need a cup, this is a great choice.

Nice neighborhood coffee with some limited food and pastry offerings. Street parking may be a challenge.

We have tried this place out more than once and they have consistently provided quality espresso shots and lattes. Today we had a vanilla soy latte and a double shot on the side. The different baristas we have been served by are well trained and we appreciate that as coffee is certainly not getting cheaper. 😅 Hot Tips: *Georgetown is a neat area to walk around especially on a Sunday if they have a market event by the Georgetown trailer park mall down the block. *The kids some ice cream next door at Matcha Man Ice Cream (it’s a cool spot). *Georgetown Pizza Arcade is worth getting a slice from and playing some arcade games as it’s family friendly (in the day time at least). Check their hours as they don’t seem to open until 3 or 4pm. *If you go for a walk you will also encounter a vintage record and and a vintage clothing store. *Best fam friendly brewery is a 3 min drive to Georgetown brewing and it’s BYOF. Enjoy!

Coffee is decent and food is decent, no real complaints. Tried the scone and it was quite good. Inside at the time wasn't too crowded and it was nice and clean. They had a "free library" in the corner but I didn't see a whole lot of books there, but it seemed like a neat idea.

Nice coffee shop. They didn't have too many pastry options (though it was late in the day)., but the scone I had was excellent! Atmosphere is pleasant.

Good coffee, great staff, and they even gave me a free pastry. I will say this is a small cafe and can get crowded if you are looking to work/study here on weekends when it is busy.. They have a great collection of art on display for the Georgetown art walk and are close to a lot of amazing food places and shopping locations. Would go again to try their seasonal drinks.

How I heard of this place: We stopped by before a class at SANCA, as it was just up the road, and seemed to have great reviews. Type of cuisine: Cafe with espresso beverages (and more), pastries. Ambiance: Cozy yet spacious, the establishment was great for neighborhood business employees/owners to pop in for refreshment and a pick-me-up. We enjoyed the tall ceilings and natural light streaming through the windows. What I ordered: A mocha for me, an Americano for my sister, and a couple of treats - donuts and a savory croissant to share. What I loved: The Americano was smooth and robust. We liked the warm setting, the familiar Seattle wooden furniture and well-loved table/chair settings. Why I loved it: It's cozy, it's convenient for people who live and work close-by, a true third home. Cost: Avearge

A great coffee shop, great customer service, clean environment and a decent hot chocolate. The coffee is delicious too.

I was around the corner at an automotive repair shop dropping my car off, and the service manager suggested All City Coffee. The coffee shop is cute, cozy, and gives off a welcoming vibe. The staff is super nice. The vibe was so on point, I ended up staying there to have my coffee and do some writing. Something is super calming about this spot. I had the Vanilla Cinnamon Latte with oatmik and it was fantastic! They have a lot of fantastic pastries and breakfast sandwiches as well. Definitely going back for another latte!

Stopped by for an hour to have a coffee and read a book while waiting for my partner. Comfortable unrefined joint to sit and have a decent cup of joe. Coffee: 3.0. 8 oz Americano. Dark roast with acceptable taste. Served in a thick cup. Service: 4.0. She was friendly and delivered what I ordered. Ambience: 3.0. Simple furnishings in an airy space lined by floor-to-ceiling windows; located on a street corner. 3 large and several smaller tables inside, and a few outside tables on the sidewalk. OK mostly-modern music at low-volume, occasionally punctuated by passing low-flying airplanes. Free Wi-Fi.

Great place to read or chill for a bit. I appreciated that it was one of the cafes open on the later side, as I needed a place to park myself before an event. I can't speak to the coffee but the herbal tea I had was great, and appreciated the clean bathroom and how I was able to linger a bit right around closing time.

Great tasting drinks but limited coffee menu. They don't offer the typical extensive hot drink menu.

We got out of the airport and were driving around and stumbled upon this cute coffee shop at the corner. It caught my bf's eye so we decided to give it a try. It's pretty quiet in there and I bet a really good place to get work done without all the noise like Starbucks or Dunkin. The barista looked like he could be mean but he was literally the sweetest and very helpful, and funny when it came to assisting my man out with a new coffee drink. He gave me all the fixin's with my peppermint mocha, which is my go to in the winter months. The coffee shop has a nice view of the Georgetown Mural, as pictured. We will definetky stop by again if ever visiting from California again. Thank you barista that worked on 12/30/22 for being so helpful and kind!

Man this place makes the best golden milk. It's in the heart of George Town which is a very cool area. This coffee shop is very fun and friendly. The staff is always very cool. Lots of parking in the area. And tons of drinks and food in the area as well. All walking distance. So if ever in the area definitely stop by. They even got a lil bite to eats here. And the coffee is really good to. Great location good pricing. Very big open space to sit and bring your laptop or just to hang out. I definitely recommend trying this coffee shop out.

I love this place so much. It feels like a true neighborhood coffee shop where the baristas are friendly and know everyone by name and order. Their lattes, cappuccinos, and golden milk are out of this world, and I love their scones and cookies. They have gluten free/vegan donuts also...they're not to my taste but my partner loves them. I love coming here to read and people watch!

A bright and open coffee shop that would've been missed if you didn't slow down and drive into Georgetown. The staff here instantly greeted me with a warm smile and light conversation. After perusing the menu, I ordered a latte and plain croissant. The coffee was pleasant- strong, decent foam and everything you'd need for a good pick me up. The shop is quite open with a lot of windows and two entrances for great airflow in the summer. There are long tables and single ones for mingling, studying and or working. Outside the shop were a few tables and benches, suitable for some fresh air. Overall, I'd say it's a charming little area with decent coffee. I'll be back! :-)

Really great experience with this coffee shop! I had a couple of hours to burn, so the obvious answer was to find a coffee shop and wander around the neighborhood. I ended up selecting All City, mostly at random. Extra bonus points for the super easy, 2 hr free street parking! Both parallel and back-in spots available in the area. The shop itself is very nicely lit with plenty of space and seems like it'd be a nice place to hang out and get some reading done. There was only one employee running the place when I was there, but she had a great flow to get everyone what they wanted and out the door. Pastries looked really good and they had a few pre-made sandwiches from White Knuckle. I decided to keep it simple - mocha with oat milk. The drink was really good. Definitely would have liked it a touch warmer, but the flavour was there and I'd definitely drink another one!

I revisited All City Coffee on 2/20/21 after a *long* hiatus. For those in the know it dates back before The Bitter Barista Kickstarter campaign 2/27/13 (wow 8 years to the date as I post 2/27/21!). Pandemic times, so I was masked and waited patiently in a socially distanced line. No issue with street parking either. No indoor seating, just takeout. Absent is the cool cafe vibe. Heck this part of Georgetown seems a bit vacant, sad face. I got a bucket o' mocha, rarely I ask for a 20 oz mocha. Pastry case looked forlorn as I stared at a broken peanut butter cookie. But one can't be a downer remembering times of nearly a decade ago. The lone barista was killing it holding down the fort. Mocha was spot on and energized me for the rest of my urban wanderings. All City Coffee is back on my caffeine radar screen.

All city is a walking distance from our house and our dog loves coming here too. The coffee is always amazing and just the right amount. The latte art is a bonus. The staffs there always have treats for our dog and are always welcoming. The place is also very cozy. Lots of love for this place!

Grabbed coffee from All City after a meal in Georgetown. If you need a quick pick me up while walking around the neighborhood this is the spot. Espresso was ready fast, well prepared and tasted great. Cappuccino for my wife was well made too. Their space looked inviting to get some work done, but we didn't linger. Friendly service and fair prices.

Excellent spot to grab some coffee! My husband had the mocha and I tried the hazelnut latte. My latte was fantastic - creamy, nutty and with the perfect amount of espresso. My husband's mocha was gone before I got to try any, so needless to say he enjoyed it. The indoors is spacious with a lot of open seating and art on display for sale. It's next to a record and comic book store, which I'd recommend checking out. We'll be back.

Stars for good milk foam, presentation, and nice space. Knocked down for a truly acrid 8oz vanilla latte that cost more than $6.

What a refreshing breath of air. In a world of corporate assholery, always choose the good. All City Coffee is the good.

Just meh The drip coffee was rough, bitter and tasted old. The chocolate cookie was stale and dry. The staff was humorless and honestly pretty rude. I spent a lot of years as a barista and I know it can be hard to be upbeat at noon if you've worked a busy morning shift but still, when a customer -when anyone - asks you a question, please at least acknowledge them instead of turning and walking away. Twice. It's a nice space - I just won't go back.

Been coming here regularly for many years, it's always a dependable place for a good coffee and snack, one of the great Seattle coffee shops, I currently work down the street and was looking forward to coming here regularly. Sadly today the service was horrific, a one off doesn't warrant a bad review, but the interaction today was unprecedented. There was a person, who for a while I thought was the owner because she was incessantly talking and cackling, her manners were abrasive, everyone was cringing because she would not stop talking in a very loud voice creating an unbearable ambiance so I asked for a to-go cup and told her to her face that she was being so loud that I couldn't concentrate, she argued with me in a loud voice saying 'it's a coffee shop' totally blind to the fact it's normally packed this time of day but nobody today because the voice is so piercingly loud and obnoxious. Zero care or concern for any customer. Quickly I found three other coffee shops within a few blocks and will be shopping for a new breakfast/coffee spot.

Nice coffee shop with good coffee, good selection of bakery items, and tables big and small to get some work done and friendly staff. Would recommend!

A great choice for coffee in Georgetown. Placed in a spacious corner location, the interior is filled with natural light. Decor is minimalist and bohemian, with lots of seating and flat surfaces for working. I came here at around 10am, and the bakery case looked sad and sparse. There was a pile of day old scones wrapped in plastic, with the only fresh option being an almond croissant. The blonde female barista was genuinely friendly, and served me a perfect Americano in under 2 minutes. The espresso was robust and nutty, softened by the addition of creamy, smooth soy milk. They use Caffe Vita beans, which are easily some of the best in the country. The aforementioned Almond Croissant was dense, bland, and bready-truly a poor excuse for a pastry. I also find it strange that there was no offer to warm it up, although I am unsure that would have helped. In conclusion, skip the baked goods, but do not hesitate to come here for coffee.

The best coffee I've had so far in Seattle. It felt so nice being in there. I got an Iced oat milk latte.. was so good!!!

When Jamie W. and I stayed a couple of nights at the Georgetown Inn late last month, we seriously did not know what a funky little bohemian neighborhood was nearby. We went to The Conservatory the night before to listen to some unexpected jazz (review: http://bit.ly/2rF52Er) and walked by this shop on the way back to the hotel. It was long closed, but we decided to come back in the morning instead of battling with the other hotel guests for the last bagel during the complimentary breakfast. Sure enough, all the tables were full up in the morning, so we strolled here to find it fairly empty except for a couple of intense laptoppers. The place had a nice mid-century vibe with sturdy classroom tables and chairs and local art on the walls. I'm guessing the artist liked to paint herself (photo: http://bit.ly/2qGQNSe). We ordered a couple of $2.50 Simmer Downs, which was a nicely combined tea full of what they described as "unraveling" flavors of chamomile, sage, ginger, lavender, and lemon balm (photo: http://bit.ly/2r54qMc). That sounded like a Simon & Garfunkel song including the unraveling part. We sat next to the window where we watched the taxi drivers park illegally to get their coffees. The baked goods were tempting (photo: http://bit.ly/2qGRRph), but we behaved before greeting Seattle once more. TEA - 4 stars...relaxing combination of flavors on a brisk morning to get us going on a busy day AMBIANCE - 4 stars...I managed to get through this entire review without typing 'hipster' but... SERVICE - 3.5 stars...friendly and industrious TOTAL - 4 stars...mid-century modern in the boho Georgetown area

Great 'hood, nice Java in a very cool shop. Baristas were warm and welcoming, drinks and baked goods tasty.

The coffee and the service was bitter. The person taking our order was annoyed. She made it very clear that she did not want us in the café. The ambience was very uncomfortable due to the server giving a dirty looks the entire time we were there. I do not recommend this place for families.

Great coffee and cool vibe. Love this shop and will continue to support! Staff is friendly.

Perfect little gem in the center of Georgetown. Coffee is fantastic and the staff even better; they happily laugh along with me at my fussy quad sugar-free nonsense. Goofy, charming, fun and everything you want in a neighborhood coffee spot.

The décor is wood,old school. Nice its fairly large on a off street. Price is high like all Seattle places. The coffee is delicious!!

Spacious corner coffee shop in the Georgetown area of Seattle. Parking can be a little tricky and you may have to park a few blocks away (probably not the best idea at night). The service was pretty good the time I went. Decent drink selection. Quite a bit of seating in an open space. Free wifi. Unfortunately I went towards closing so they didn't have any pastries left.

My neighborhood regular, All City remains the indispensable Georgetown coffee stop, the best coffee in town by heads and shoulders. The quality has slipped of late, but could easily be back on-point with a little training and attention to product. The presence and malevolence of "hipsters" has been grossly overstated- there's a bit of everyone here, mostly working-class coffee-breakers, folks in computers doing work or homework, tourists...a good cross-section. Lately, there have been some new faces behind the bar, and the coffee, while still good, hasn't been the meticulously poured beauty it was before. My shots today tasted bitter and a bit thin, so I think they need to adjust their grind. Some baristas forget that pours can change as the temperature and humidity changes throughout the day- you can't just set it once and leave it, it must be adjusted. Vita, while a forgiving roast, won't forgive shots that pour faster than 18 seconds or slower than 25, and consistent tamping pressure is a must. The pastry/edibles variety and selection has been lacking lately too. While I understand that no retailer likes to see their money go into the trash in the form of left-over pastry waste, it is also true that people can't buy it if you don't have it. And, a solid day-old discount and charity donation program can take some sting out of the waste numbers. I'd love to see more attractive pastries and lunchy products, maybe La Tuscanella or Bakery Nuveau offerings, presented attractively in your case instead of just little brown piles of bready things. Oh, I'll still be a regular here, for now. But if it slips much further, I'll have to look elsewhere.

This place is super chill. Industrious and cozy. They serve Caffe Vita coffee. A+ for that. Pastries (most of them) are from the mighty La Toscanella Bakery! Five stars for that. Pretty busy. Usually. Down grading my review to 2 stars until they get management figured out. It's been a heavy rotation for the last few months and getting worse manager by manager. Fingers crossed though.

That macchiato was delicious. Didn't stay for the ambiance, but I would come back on a rainy day to keep warm and read. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what they offer for pastries. Support a local café and get a nice cup here.

Dang fine lattes. Lots of table space too. I got an iced oat milk latte. Very chill vibes.

Another review by BAM Must do stop while in Georgetown. ACC. Very chill vibe. Very. EAT. DRINK. LOVE. Ok. Stop. Sit. Don't look at your phone. Try to order your coffee in ceramic elegance. I especially like to order my doppio, in a demitasse for the "having it here" experience. I like the large windows that face out to Sandbox Sports, where Willie and his crew keep people with there toes in the sand, on the beach volleyball sand courts. What? Check it out yourself. Drink in the people. Listen to the conversations. Greet the baristas and counter staff with a smile. Definitely order from the Chica with a bald woman, tattooed on her left forearm. She's cool. Lap-topers, artists, locals. And plenty tattooed, pierced and gauged-out people. From your seat, in a vintage 1960's oak chair, you'll find, you're in the epicenter of some cool, funky places. You can grind on a Cubano or pastrami sandwich from across the street, while visiting the Vespa store down the block. Or maybe you feel like heating it up with some blown glass lessons or school some kids, like a pinball wizard, from the shops right next door. A must do. DO IT.

Just having motorcycle parking outside is cool enough in my book. :) No, really, that's all fine and dandy but there's a bit more, too. I had a great grande vanilla latte and tasty squash bread. The interior is like a chill, toned down 70's lounge with white and browns - atleast from that long table. My coffee came out in a glass, so it was rather really hot - use a sleeve. Good stuff and they have a neat bike pulley in back. Cool outside seating, if only a bit uncomfy.

ATTENTION SEATTLE PLEASE BOYCOTT! All City Coffee is not all that. Very poor customer service. The guy running the counter on Sunday morning 9/2/18 around 8ish can use a major attitude adjustment as he was sacrasric from the get go. His inability to manage the line when it's busy was part of the issue as well. So instead of telling me 'I will be right with you' his response was 'Wait!' He is a bully, aggressive with a side of Seattle Freeze along with customer blaiming. After I paid up I moved over to pick up my mocha. It didn't come with whip so I asked, this would not have been an issue if the guy properly running the counter would have clarified things. When I asked the Batista (female with tattoos)recieved a teaspoon size and had to ask for more whip which she did along with a side of eye glare. The Batista could have smoothed everything out but she only compounded this incompetence. I will update everyone when and/if the owner reached out but until then please boycott. Georgetown is great place to live and visit if you are new to the area or visiting, true seattlite are not this way, just get coffee and treats at other cafes, until they get their act together. There no reason why they can't be kind to customers in 2018.

I came here and it served it's purpose, which was to provide me coffee and a comfortable place to relax, before heading off somewhere else. It's a simple place, nothing special, a few food items, and a big ass coffee/expresso machine, that you find in most coffee shops. They make a good cup of coffee, I take black, no sugar, no cream, no milk, additives, just plain old coffee. They do a good job providing such deliciousness. It's drinkable, mild, not burnt. I enjoy the location, it is not any more or less roomy that another coffe shop in Seattle. Is it better than Starbucks, sure, it's isn't overly busy, and comfy.

Coffee: The coffee was just okay, not really a good kick of caffeine to get my going which was disappointing, but overall tasted okay. Price: Affordable at less than $2 for a medium sized coffee. Service: Quick and easy. I don't order a lot of different types of drinks when it comes to coffee. I want simply and easy and that's usually what makes my service quick and easy. Overall: I love the decor and the neighborhood so I might try again. Overall I didn't think it woke me up at all or gave me a boost which was disappointing. I'd rather try another place than wonder in again anytime soon.

First time trying this place. I walked in and was immediately greeted. The place is super clean with Good coffee and great customer service.

Yes please! Great espresso drinks here. I came in for an almond milk latte and I also got a cookie with jam on the inside which was lovely. I'd come back any day. A little on the pricey side but totally worth it. Nice outdoor seating for a sunny day!

In town on business. 5 minute walk from Georgetown Inn. Yay! As a long-time coffee nerd, this place gets a lot right. I had an excellent latte. Nice, roasty-toasty notes left me with a chocolate aftertaste as I left their open, naturally lit space.

First time coming here, an old friend of mine and I got back in touch and figured Georgetown was a good meeting spot and as is Seattle custom thought a local coffee shop would be the right choice. From the pictures online, this place looked to be a quiet cozy spot perfect to catch up at. The atmosphere certainly did not disappoint when I walked in. My friend was already there with coffee and a table so we greeted and I went to the counter to order mine. After placing my order, and giving a 33% tip to the cashier because I like to give a bit to the people providing customer service (not that it's much money but it's the principal) I sat down with my friend and started our conversation. After what felt like a few minutes, I realized I hadn't heard my name or order called so I went back up to see if my order was ready as it was busy and maybe he hadn't gotten around to making it yet. As I started to ask, he hurriedly handed me my cup of now cold coffee and in a very snarky and annoyed voice and visibly perturbed face informed me "yes, your order was ready 10 minutes ago and has just been sitting here behind the counter". I wouldn't have cared if he had just handed the coffee to me politely with a smile. But the reason I enjoy supporting small local businesses is for the service and atmosphere they provide. If I had just gone to a starbucks instead, they would have offered me a new coffee with a smile. I would have missed out on supporting a small business owner and a quainter less corporate atmosphere but at least I wouldn't have been treated as an annoyance. Certainly surprising to me. I really didn't want or need my coffee remade, it was just so strange and off putting it just threw me off. I would not suggest coming here if you like friendly customer service. If you come in ok with them not caring about their customers but want the quiet and comfortable atmosphere of a local coffee shop then is place would be great. A simple smile would have made this a 5 star post. Edit: Originally made this a 2 star review. Changed to 1 star after reading many other reviews talking about unfriendly customer service. Wanted to give a fair representation of what I objectively thought of the place but it's clear the owner needs to put more priority into customer service training and effort so I felt more of a statement should be made.

Been going here for years as it's one of the only spots nearby and the service is always awful. Was hoping things would improve each time I came back. Space is bright and welcoming, baristas are not.

Rude and obnoxious staff. Regrettable visit. Really can't recommend coming here. There's too many coffee shops in Seattle to deal with crappy ones.

just ok coffee. i've been stopped by a couple of times before work and the coffee is nothing to write home about. the service was 2.5 out of 5. i ordered a croissant the last time i came in and they didn't heat it up so it was cold and almost stale. but one of the baristas proceeded to heat up their food in the oven after handing me the stale pastry LOL.

I'm going to tell you a little story about All City Coffee that will blow your brains! I was driving up looking for the sometimes elusive parking in Georgetown and I got to thinking, was I in the right place? Not physically, but spiritually. Was I in the right place. Hm. I was driving at probably about 12 mph.

A great corner hangout in an area with all kinds of resident artists and free thinkers. A very conversational crossroads among all kinds of painters, sculptors, craftspeople, and those in the light-industrial and aerospace employ available nearby. The big windows, plentiful tables, and cool rounded corner location make this seem like a hang at least as much as a coffee shop, which is as it should be. At a glance, you know that much of the interesting conversation in this town has gravitated to this spot. The service is laid-back and, while not hurried, still efficient, and very friendly in a low-key way. The coffee is great, and the prices are good. Georgetown isn't usually a morning spot for me but the appeal of this place is strong, and I could certainly see pulling off the freeway for a cup when I am on my way south somewhere.

This is the place in G-town to get your caffeine fix! You get a pretty strong brew here that will keep you going. Interesting cross section of locals and local working folks who frequent here. Hours are Interior is fairly comfy with a long table and a smattering of smaller rickety tables. Definitely the kind of place where you can pretty much camp out all day (take note work from home types!). They have outside tables too when the weather is nicer. Kind of wish they had more snacky items but the coffee is potent which is the most important thing.
