Royal Drummer

I love coming here first thing in the morning and working on the computer. Great coffee and internet speeds. They have mugs you can use.

Great family friendly coffee shop, with delicious coffees and reasonably priced breakfast items. The kids play area is well stocked with books and toddler friendly toys.

Awesome cafe, one of my new favorites! Excellent coffee! And for those on the go, they have an tablet set up with Square for an honor drip coffee bar for those in a hurry. They have an awesome menu (don't miss the avocado toast or breakfast sandwiches) and lots of events. Good ambiance to sit with a friend or get some work done.

This is my go-to coffee stop in Ballard. If you are in a hurry there is a self-serve register for coffee and day-old pastries. You really can't go wrong with an 8oz coffee for just $1! Their staff is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic about coffee. The styles and flavors of coffee beans routinely rotate. They serve house-made quiche which also changes on a regular basis and is, quite honestly, one of the best recipes I've ever had. If you are looking for a large meal, this may not be the place for you. Royal Drummer seems to focus on quality rather than quantity. The atmosphere tends to be minimal white noise and chill music during the week. Many people use the space for work and studying. Thursday morning can get quite crowded as they offer a Children's story time which is insanely popular.

Really great place to get both great coffee and food. One major addiction is the Ginger Tumeric Latte, might sound odd but it is spot on! Scones are tasty (more traditional biscuit scone than cake-like scones), really solid breakfast sandwiches. So far for lunch we've had the tuna salad, also fantastic. Treat yourself to some pie whole you are at it, highly recommend the insane coconut cream pie, easily the best version I've had from coast to coast. Love this place!

Not wild about their drip offerings but espresso is good. Small beer/wine list that I've sampled and enjoyed, and a variety of food options that are all rather tasty. The staff is friendly and it's obvious they've tried (successfully) to create a nice community hub.

First the coffee is great and they source some different beans all the time. Also a great spot to sit and work throughout the day. The food is good and they have a variety of baked goods and real meals. Plus there's beer on tap and a few wines to have. Happy hour is 4-7pm and 25% off everything!

My favorite coffee spot hands down. I love to sit and do work here since they have many table to offer and rarely do you get stuck sitting next to someone, so awesome. The staff is very knowledgable of coffee and make it expertly. The coffee combined with their amazing food makes this is a must go to for all coffee lovers.
