What People Are Saying About Bauhaus Books & Coffee
The Editor

In Short – Ever since Bauhaus opened in 1993, it's been the spot to bring a book and tune out over a cup of coffee--and more recently, tune in over your Wi-Fi laptop. Big windows offer views of neighborhood foot traffic, but like most Seattle coffeehouses, seats outside are hard to come by, even in the cold. Sip San Francisco's Caffe Trieste espresso and coffee, or nibble on scones, croissants, Ding Dongs or classic breakfast cereals.
Great coffee, bad service.

This place serves REAL coffee! Great drinks, and such a kitchy place. The service was pretty poor though -- exemplifies the Seattle freeze. You forget all about the baristas once you taste the drink though. Yuuuuuum...
- Pros: Coffee, setting
- Cons: Service, crowded
No thanks
by aaron98101
Unfriendly employees, pretentious patrons, mediocre coffee (at best). I didn't realize I needed a nose ring, skinny pants, and 12 tattoos to get decent service. Unfortunately, this is typical Capitol Hill snobbery. No thanks, I'll spend my money where my business is wanted and the product is acceptable.
Best Coffee shop and have been going there for all my years in Seattle

I go to college on Capitol Hill, and I ALWAYS go to Bauhaus to do my homework. I get my coffee there twice a day probably. When school is out, I go read there because I read constantly. I am an alternative kid with lots of tattoos everywhere and theres a lot of really cool people there. It's smoker friendly. I love the coffee and the view. All my friends and I go there to get our coffee and play guitar outside in the summer; while enjoying our cigarettes! I love Bauhaus I can't stress that enough. Reading, coffee, music, and guitar are my favorite things. Thank god we can put it all in one place and ADD A VIEW!
- Pros: EVERYTHING
- Cons: .... some of the outlets down fit the regular plug ins so maybe bring an adapter?
