What People Are Saying About Lighthouse Roasters
Featured Review

In Short – Tucked into an unassuming storefront on the north slope of Fremont, Lighthouse Roasters serves what many consider to be Seattle's finest cup of coffee. A smattering of friends, neighbors, dogs, groovy murals and artwork provides a comfortable spot to waste away the day. Along with the coffee and espresso offerings, the cafe also serves an assortment of pastries and Odwalla juices. –

My favorite espresso
by back933 at Citysearch
This is a great neighborhood shop. I wish it was in my neighborhood. I go out of my way to buy espresso for my home machine and always have a shot pulled by one of the talented baristas here.
- Pros: Superb craft roasted coffees.
- Cons: Too far from my home.
The smoothest latte in Seattle!
by koolyg at Citysearch
I've tried lattes from dozens of coffee shops around Seattle, but keep coming back to Lighthouse. The shots are perfectly pulled with no bitterness and have a wonderful taste and aroma. But what really sets their lattes above the rest, is the use of top quality milk and expert steaming. The end result is creamy, smooth and utterly delicious. I crave Lighthouse lattes every morning, knowing that first sip will be heaven.
The shop itself is comfortable and unpretentious, while the staff are friendly and courteous. Highly recommended!
- Pros: Wonderful coffee, friendly staff
- Cons: Limited parking, can be crowded during peak times
Worth waiting for this decadent brew!

This is very good coffee and well worth the trip, worth the frustration of finding a place to park, and worth the long lines. The coffee is rich and smooth, and simply like sipping heaven.
I now live in Florida but whenever I'm in Seattle (not enough!) I go for this joe. Thankfully I have wonderful friends and family that send me beans. The coffee shop gladly ships beans, also.
- Pros: Fantastic coffee, Supurb espresso, Luscious latte
- Cons: Lines on weekends, Not in Florida
Light House Roasters

The coffee here has it's good days and bad days... and the good days are not great. Although it's a great place to hang out, the coffee isn't up to par to what it used to be. I don't know what happened they were awesome back in '04. I keep sporadically going back hoping it will be better. Go to Cafe Vivace in Cap Hill or Zeitgeist in Pioneer Square for better.
- Pros: Good Service, Good Price
- Cons: Not so great Coffee
