Pilgrim Coffeehouse

I am just drawn to the atmosphere when I entered this cafe. The service staff were busy but they acknowledged my presence and told me that they will attend to me shortly. The menu is concise with some unique flavors for drinks & attractive foods. There r merchandise that they sell where what u paid go directly to the local artists & designers. This is truly a generous & purposeful mission for the cafe owners. The mocha mint coffee I ordered tasted really great. I can’t wait to be there to try others out!

Coffee was good and it’s a good vibe to sit in, lots of space to do work. But the latte was $9 and I feel like the cashier stared at the screen when it came time for a tip

We’d highly recommend Pilgrim’s coffee and atmosphere—the food is also really good from the small menu offered . Our children also enjoyed the hot cocoas they were served. It’s a good place to work or meet friends. The baristas are efficient and warm.

First time here when I dropped off my car to repair. This coffee shop is spacious. Good chai and bakery selections. Staffs are friendly. You can bring your pet inside. Nice place to hang out here.

Great surprise coffee visit. I didn’t expect such a cute place when getting my car repaired down the street. Great coffee, nice coffee gear, and cute atmosphere.

Super unassuming cafe but very cute and nice inside. The coffee is great and they serve lowrider cookies which are bomb. The baristas are very friendly and the vibe is super chill. Any cafe with lots of plants is a win (except those with lots of plant flies, looking at you ROOT)

Such a cute little coffee shop. They make a wonderful dark chocolate mocha and they have a great selection of teas. Their breakfast sandwiches are really delicious, made on fresh bread. The staff is also very kind. There is a lot of seating if you go with friends or want to read or study.

I like to consider myself a coffee snob, but like all of us with specific tastes really spend most of my time roasting and drinking lighter roast pourover. I have to say that pilgrim so far in the 5 years of living in the area have one the best drip coffees. Add to that that their espresso is also excellent and you arrive at the compulsion to step in and try for yourself :)

Great service and an incredible loving staff. I love what they are doing to improve this part of Seattle.

I love this place. A friendly staff, great service and awesome coffee! I also love that they are closed on Sunday

I usually don't give bad reviews, but I hate to say that this was one of the worst Matcha lattes that I've had. To put salt on the wound, their bamboo straws. We're bad, there were cracks in both of our straws, which led to the drink being spilled on our shirts. The Matcha latte was watered down and had a funky taste to it. My friends coffee was pretty good on the other hand. The service here was very nice. Not sure if I would come back.

I didn't know this coffee shop was here until recently! I used to live in the neighborhood, but apparently it's been a while since I've checked out the Oak Tree mall. Anyway, I loved the modern clean vibe of the store and the staff was super friendly! While I was sitting there, I heard this clicking noise and I looked up over the coffee bar and saw the old style reader board! I haven't seen one like that in a long time. Cool messages and very analog letters clicking their way to fun messages! Anyway, I tried the apple turnover and I liked it a lot! Typically they can be very greasy and this was not, it was perfect! The coffee was strong and tasty and they put it in a cool glass mug. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back. Love little cool places like this!

Small friendly coffee spot. Well made drinks, friendly employees simple egg breakfast sandwiches. Decent prices, and good coffee.

The quality has declined precipitously and steadily since Justin left. What used to be a decent specialty coffee shop is now serving over-roasted under-dosed coffee, undercompensating their employees, and frequently makes mistakes on orders. I'm sad because it used to be so nice to have a good shop nearby. I'll keep going because the only other alternative is starbucks, but I hope they hire someone who knows specialty coffee to manage the store so it can get back to what it could be.

The barista knew my usual order's proper size and immediately suggested it. That alone qualifies this place but add to that the coffee was well made and it's got reasonable seating area. That alone makes a huge difference for me. It's also next to fuzzy buddy's which is where I dump my dogs when I have to work.

Very disappointed that I ordered a seasonal drink on the Joe app, only for it to get cancelled while I was mid route to the store. I get there and learn the app feature hadn't been turned on yet at the store. So I asked for a cold brew. I was told that wasn't an option. So I went back to my original nitro and was told they didn't have that. Not a good way to start my morning,

First time here for a coffee stop before our road trip to Canada. A nice and quiet ambiance which is great for studying or reading. The service is great, friendly barista who greets you; almost thought I was in the south for a second cause friendly service. Drinks: Honey Lavendar Latte with Almond milk...delicious! Price: Higher priced at $6.75 for a 16 oz? They did charge $0.75 for adding almond milk. Overall, decent coffee spot for its service, ambiance, and good quality drinks

Great coffee and food, slow service and bathrooms tend to run dirty, over all is a modern nice coffee shop

They must need to work on their staffing because this morning they had one barista who was clearly very sick making the coffee and another who had no idea what he was doing at the register. Their coffee bar was pulling shots really slowly but I had no warning of that and ended up being 15 minutes late for a meeting. I asked for a refund since I didn't have time to wait anymore for my coffee and the guy at the register knowingly refunded someone else's card because he couldn't find my transaction (probably because he rang up so many orders after mine). I would like to be actually refunded. Please don't make your staff work when they are sick. People out here are immune compromised and it's not fair to staff or patrons.

I was in the neighborhood a few weeks ago and had an ok coffee. I like to support small biz. Now I find out they are proud MAGA! I'm sick I spent money with them. But no matter they are just ok. Wouldn't have gone back any way.

The pistachio croissant is to die for! Service was standard/friendly with a laidback and aesthetic ambiance!

The matcha I ordered was very diluted and wasn't the best. Tasted very watery and barely had a matcha taste to it. Ordered a breakfast sandwich which was very tasty. Service was okay but slow.

This coffee shop is near my husband's business so of course I wanted to try it. The coffee was mediocre and way over-priced. Now I find out that they advertise on this Public Square website for MAGA businesses. Won't be going back. Ever. https://www.thestranger.com/news/2025/03/25/79983467/publicsquare-is-an-inadvertent-gift-to-people-who-dont-want-to-fund-fascism

I had the smoothest coffee of my life coming here! It wasn't the best coffee in the world by any means, but it was good. I could tell the person who made my drink was new and learning. They did a great job for someone who was new. There was a bit of a wait for order and getting my coffee, but I think the time I came at was when some of the staff was on a lunch break. The inside was very modern and comfortable and all of the staff were really kind. This is somewhere I'd want to come back if I wanted to get some work done, especially during the summer!

Walked over here from the hotel bc their coffee was garbage. The Pilgrim cup is totally dialed. Love it. I'll be shopping the beans and a cup for the road before I head back. And the breakfast sandwich was lovely, too! Thanks, Pilgrim.

Coming in for a cup of coffee and ending up having one could possibly the best avocado toast in the PNW. Always friendliest staff and the music creates the perfect place to relax.

Great place to get coffee and hang out with friends. Owner is a great guy that is really committed to community and cleaning up aurora street. If you get a chance say hi to him, he's very friendly.

I ordered the coconut matcha latte off of their staff recommended list. I'm not sure if this was a mistake but I did not taste any coconut? The matcha powder was also not mixed very well. Next time will probably stick to espresso or coffee hear. Was a good vibe for studying and working though! Ample parking in their lot, too. Very convenient location

The area can be off-putting for sure, but the cafe is quite decent. The messaging display sound can be annoying to some people. We ordered one brewed coffee and one latte, the brewed coffee was smooth probably one of the best. The latte was one of the strongest coffee I have tried in Seattle. A great coffee boost to the morning. If you are looking for a coffee fix, I highly recommend this place. Service was good, Despite the rush hour, I found the barista's consistency and passion for coffee to be admirable.

Excellent quality coffee and a quiet, hip yet cozy retreat in an area where you wouldn't quite expect the neighborhoody cafe that this is. My latte came out quickly, and the barista was friendly as well. Lots of seating on a rainy weekend. Excellent assortment of locally made pastries!

I live in Licton Springs, and this is definitely one of the nicer coffee spots in the area. The interior is cute, trendy, and very clean, with plenty of seating. The pastries are consistently tasty. I always get a plain latte, and sadly, they're inconsistent. Sometimes great, strong, with good milk texture. Others are a bit weak and scalded. The service is friendly, but the folks working there are overwhelmed. There's always a substantial wait for drinks. Only two espresso stations for a spot with this much traffic doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's a staffing issue.

My friend and I were looking for a cafe to study but also dog friendly as she was bringing up her dog from Olympia. We found this cute cafe nearby my place and decided to check it out. Luckily, her dog was left with my boyfriend so we didn't need to bring her but when we entered, we saw the cutest husky mix just lying on the floor! It's located on the side where IHOP is in the HT Oaktree Market on Aurora Ave N. There's a huge parking lot with ample parking everywhere. The cafe was big and had many tables and seats for customers to study at. There were outlets around the walls of the cafe which was very nice! The only downside was that their audio came from a tall speaker in the corner of the window side where the music blasted REALLY loudly. I had to up my music to tune it out as I was studying. I got one of their seasonal drinks, the Winter Spice Latte, which had chai and another things I couldn't remember. I'm usually not a huge chai fan but decided to try it out. The drink came either hot or cold, and I don't know why but I instinctively chose a cold latte when I knew I wanted the latte art from the hot drink. WELP. They served the cold drink in a tall, thin mason glass jar. The drink wasn't too bad! Not a favorite, though. Definitely could taste the chai, but it didn't phase me much. It wasn't too sweet either which I enjoyed! Cute and nice cafe to study at! They also served food which makes for great snacks while studying or doing work. Will be back if I decide to study outside of my house!

Love this place! A great cafe to work in, and the oat milk matcha latte and gingerdoodle are amazing.

Lovely med. Roast coffee with minimal acidity and good cocoa, caramel notes. Plus, they made it with maple syrup for me at no extra charge.

Good ambience. Avo toast is meh. I ordered hot Latte, which is lukewarm. Expected more from this place.

We booked this company to provide coffee to our patrons during one of our biggest events of the year. Weeks ahead of time they agreed to come and be our coffee provider, we spoke on the phone and they also confirmed via email twice. On the day of our event - they were a no show. Terrible communication during event. They didn't call our office. I think maybe they emailed us? After the event was over, and we had time to check in they said someone had to go to the hospital. At the time of booking they agreed two baristas would be coming. So both baristas were in the hospital? If you want someone to show up to your event don't book this company.

do not get the matchas. they're very diluted with the milk and the powder they use isn't the best

5 star service and vibe. Not just worth a stop, worth a trip! So nice to get pastries that aren't just macrina.

I've been here a few times when I've had to take my dog to the vet. Each time was worse than before. The coffee was horrible and never made to order; poorly mixed and bitter, tasted over roasted. The service was bad too - unwelcoming and as if they couldn't get me out of there fast enough. Ambiance was bad too - felt like we were in a computer store and the vibes were off. No thanks.

Ah, I had such high hopes. The coffee is really terrific. The vibe was great. The click of the message board is nostalgic. The jesussy messaging is there, but non-intrusive. Sadly the other way that they were keeping their faith on the DL is by not letting a homeless woman use the restroom unless she bought something. It's cool though, because they apologized before they kicked her out. You folks need to actually read your bible again. I won't be back.

Dog friendly coffee shop that is really busy! They have merchandise to purchase and light lunch menu with pastries. Plenty of parking. Staff super nice.

They have really delicious pastries- my favorites are the guava and cream cheese tart and the ham and cheese croissant - so fresh and perfect and buttery! Their coffee is also great- I like their mocha because it isn't TOO sweet and they have great ice.

For anyone who's looking for a nice spot to work or study, Pilgrim Coffeehouse is the perfect spot. I came here with a couple of friends to do some work and overall, all of us enjoyed our stay here. Some quick notes: Parking: Easy - huge lot right outside the coffeeshop Interior: Spacious, well lit, and modern with outlets along the wall for devices Coffee: Tried the mocha and latte and both were equally delicious. Food: Tried the apple flatbread, macaron sample and cinnamon bread sample and overall, quality is great and taste was yummy. Wifi: Available to customers - just ask if you need to use it Staff: Very friendly and welcoming! :) Atmosphere: Very chill and not too loud if you're looking to work or study here. I like how the music wasn't too loud and that there were plenty of space/tables for people to sit at. Definitely planning to come back here in the near future to do some studying and/or work! :)

This place was the place to be on a Saturday! the line went by pretty fast though, and their coffee was solid. I liked that they had a pop up book store there for the day with some cool titles! Also - they have an old school board where you can input messages from your phone! I was excited to try it but it had a cost and my husband and sleeping baby were waiting for me in the car. Maybe next time!

Today Pilgrim Coffeehouse, and it was a delightful experience. The coffee was rich and flavorful, the food options were delicious, and the customer service was exceptional. The cozy atmosphere added to the overall charm. I highly recommend it to fellow coffee enthusiasts!

Ok I am obsessed with Pilgrim Coffeehouse! My new favorite spot to grab a coffee, pastries, and work. The service here is incredible, all of the staff are super friendly and they bring your order out to your table. Also, I've never been to a coffee shop where they bus your table and fill up waters! The coffee itself is super smooth and delicious, and their pastries totally caught me by surprise. The ham and cheese croissant has so much flavor! Lastly, I swear they've copied my Spotify playlists because it's the same music I listen to (indie folk and some Americana). That's the icing on the cake for me! Excellent place to get out of the house and work at.

Amazing service and ambiance every time I come in. I ordered the dirty chai latte one time and now I order it every time. The employees here are so friendly and if you are sitting to study or chat with friends in this cafe, they deliver your coffee directly to your table! There is always seating when I come in on a weekday afternoon to get work done. Next time I want to come earlier to try out some pastries!

Service: 5/5, Coffee/food: 4.5/5 Very friendly staff. A decent amount of tables to sit, it actually became very busy with lots of lively conversation around us (which I like). They also seem to be dog friendly. A couple of well behaved doggos laid next to their owners. The coffee is a tad bit pricy but the ambiance was nice so it was still worth it for us. BIG plus that it had a large parking lot for Seattle. No worries about finding parking. Also appreciate the long hours - 6am to 6pm.

This is my go to spot for coffee I live a few minutes away so when I'm craving coffee I just walk on over and get my ice white chocolate coffee super nice friendly workers the coffee shop is so nice and cozy inside y'all need to give it a try

I was recently in North Seattle to pick up something for work, and found myself in need of the usual: coffee and wi-fi. I checked on Yelp and found Pilgrim Coffeehouse right around the corner from where I was - yay! It was early on a weekday so there was a bit of a line, which gave me a few minutes to peruse Pilgrim's spacious, brightly lit interior and pick an optimal spot to sit. I ordered up my vanilla oat milk latte and a breakfast sandwich, and quickly sat down to enjoy my meal and get signed in on Zoom before a work meeting. There were a few other customers nearby (but socially distant), also working on their laptops. I appreciated that there was strong wi-fi and a good place to plug in my charger too! The coffee was excellent and the sandwich - while a little greasy - was a tasty start to my day. I'll definitely keep Pilgrim on my Seattle coffee + wi-fi radar.

Great service and good coffee ! After discovering this little gem north of Seattle, all thanks to getting our car fixed. In the Oaktree Plaza you'll be greeted with a warm and inviting space, great for working or just chilling. The coffee set up was impressive as well as the barista's knowledge. Its great to know that they're supporting small businesses like Bluebird Ice cream in their affogatos. It was an interesting presentation but still delightful. I had gotten the Nitro Cold Brew with cream. It was smooth and was perfect for my coffee needs. A great coffee joint and worth a visit if your in the area or want to space to work in.

Randomly picked this place to explore a cafe to work! I will say, it was worth it. I ordered Nitro float and Chicken curry and Salad Sandwich. Float was as expected, while the Sandwich was really amazing. In this hot 85F summer, the staff was very kind enough to serve cold water at my table without asking me. There were enough table for people to work. I Will visit this place again. Must Try: chicken curry & salad sandwich

I watched the guy making drinks, push the trash in the trashcan down with his bare hands and go back making coffee without washing his hands. Then he touched my cup, the ice scoop, scoop ice, and finish the coffee he was making for another customer. I mentioned to him that he needs to wash his hands after pushdown the trash with his bare hands. He said, yeah I know, I just dont want too. Seriously, after covid and everything. There are a lot of things I don't want to do like take double the victims and wear a mask and be a gem freak, but after I survived stage 4 colon cancer I have a weakened immune system. If I get a bug it takes me long to get well. I cant afford to get sick and miss work for $4 ice tea made by a lazy guy in food service that doesn't want to wash his hands after pushing the down.

This is one of my favorite coffeeshops in my neighborhood. The lattes are always super consistently made, and of course, delicious! They have pastries from various local bakeries and I've loved everything I've tried. Pistachio Croissant, Almond Croissant, the list goes on. I've also tried the deluxe avocado toast - also very good. It had the classic avo mash, but topped with cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and feta sprinkled on top. The inside is very inviting, modern and open. A great place to work or study from, if you're comfortable. One of the coolest parts is the old school reader board, like from old train stations. You can send messages from your phone that will appear on the giant screen (sadly not free though).

The space is really big and the staff was so friendly! Both the coffee and croissant were delicious and better yet they are dog friendly! I would definitely come back.

Amazing coffee! Stopped by on a whim and had one of the best drinks I've had in awhile! I got an 8oz hot mocha and it was nearly perfect. Not too sweet. The folks working were friendly and fast, I didn't have to wait long for my drink. Cute atmosphere and solid menu. I would definitely recommend checking Pilgrim out.

The breakfast sandwiches are super tasty, coffee is some of the around here, and the staff is sweet. This is a regular place for me. I want one of their sandwiches now.
