Victrola Coffee
What People Are Saying About Victrola Coffee

In Short – Choose from an arrangement of upscale pastries, sit back in a slightly tippy chair and wait a few minutes for some of the very best coffee in this coffee-filled city. This Capitol Hill cafe encourages community through a range of art- and politically minded events, while the free Wi-Fi provides the ubiquitous keyboard-tapping background for today's cafe culture.
With an extra shot of attitude

By now, Victrola has become a Seattle coffee house institution. Yeah, but who wants to have coffee in an institution? Started a few years ago by some former Microsofties who thought it would be fun to run a café, Victrola attracts the cream of the depressive, zombie-like Seattle crop, who crouch above their laptops (on weekdays) or pretend not to be smoking too close to the door (on weekends) and never talk to anyone. Meanwhile, the "we're too cool to wait on you" baristas ignore you for several minutes as you stand on the other side of the counter, if you're not one of their friends or coworkers; don't thank you for your tip; and make you wait forever for their sour-tasting coffee. But, hey, it's Victrola, and it's the best coffee shop in Seattle, right? Even Starbucks wanted to steal their thunder, and that really says something.
- Pros: Barely acceptable coffee
- Cons: The quintessential Seattle coffee shop

Victrola is awesome - my favorite place to get tea (Burrough's Brew is the best!) and Mexican tea cookies. Their new location on Pike is nice, but very unwelcoming - they need to buy a couch; it's cold. But I frequently go to the one on 15th and love it.
