Carl FigueiredoFebruary 22, 2015The spot for 3rd wave coffee in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. Rotating coffees from the nation's top toasters. Brewed coffee program focuses on Aeropress methods.Upvoted Feb 9
The best coffee in Seattle. Jeff, Lucas, Corey and the rest of the crew are awesome. Chocolate chip cookie here is also good!
- Ariana VoyerSeptember 5, 2017Nice spot to work at or for a coffee/tea break. Great americano as well as the turmeric tonic tea. They have a few pastries.
Awesome hipster coffee joint. Super crowded and wifi doesn't seem to work for me but coffee was good and they sell Heart coffee from Portland!!!!- My favourite place for coffee in Seattle. Love getting my weekly at home beans from their thoughtful selection ☕️
Melissa RapierApril 21, 2015Love this place—coffee, atmosphere, service, they have it all! 1 issue: lap tops take up most of the seats, which isn't their fault, but you'll need luck finding places to sit. Good luck!
Yulia ZiMay 17, 2017Good coffee. ☕️Normally I go for a cappuccino but in this case for the special brew of the day. WiFi. Plugs. Enough space for all coffee and Internet + cool vibe seekers.- I love the Theo Mocha here—it's very rich and unique. The WiFi password is "milstead" spelled backwards.
Chris SteeleSeptember 9, 2014If you're patient and resourceful you can find a couple of hidden utility outlets on the outdoor patio. Between that and the lovely coffee you'll be thoroughly fueled for the morning.
These guys really know their coffee! They also have a good selection of beans for those who make at home.
Ryan WaggonerSeptember 7, 2016Milstead offers a great selection of coffees served by friendly and informative baristas. If you care about coffee, go to Milstead & Co. Amazing pastries too!
A @pandadoodie found fact via the barista in the Mariners hat: pastries come from two places, Macrina Bakery and La Toscanella. Ask them and they'll confirm where your pastry was "born" if you care.
Justin McKissickSeptember 29, 2015Got the cold brew; delicious coffee, great atmosphere and plenty of seating.
Anthony GomezMarch 2, 2013Great place. Amazing coffees. Coava, Stumptown & Intelligentsia. Check out the Theo super dark mocha, bitter but you can add a bit of vanilla. Cool vibe and nice people.
Carl TydingcoSeptember 9, 2016The friendly staff makes delicious pour overs. Usually with an Aeropress but you can ask for it to be done with a V60 or Chemex
Get the milk chocolate mocha or vanilla latte! Dark chocolate was a tad too bitter even for my taste, and I generally love 70% dark chocolates.
Katie YamadaJuly 23, 2015The mochas with Theo chocolate are awesome! Super strong, quality coffee and the baristas are always very friendly. Tea is also a great option here
Excellent cappuccinos in a wonderful store. The baristas are very knowledgeable and friendly. Love the Acaia scales that they use to dose!
my go-to spot for brewed coffee - diverse wordly selection changes nearly every day. espresso drinks also very good. baristas super friendly.
Daniel TewfikJune 6, 2015Great, friendly staff. Cool, neighborhood art in their patio area. Delicious cold brew.
Nitish MeenaOctober 13, 2015It's a classy one. Coolest staff ever. Try the Theo Mocha, if you're into chocolates!
- Quite possibly the best coffee in Seattle. Unless you like bad coffee.
Andrew ChoiJanuary 8, 2015Awesome espresso and tasty pastries. Try their turkey and cheese croissant!
Angela WenJanuary 20, 2016Great coffee, friendly baristas. Awesome beans selection. Only downside is that there's no windows in here.
Excellent espresso, nice baristas, clean minimal interior. One of the best cafes in Seattle and 100% worth the trip to Fremont.
Matt BowenAugust 17, 2012Baristas are very friendly, espresso is great, and the squash harvest bread is delicious.
Natarajan ChakrapaniMay 29, 2017Legit cappuccino from friendly knowledgeable baristas. Possibly the best i have had in Seattle.
Jennifer F Carpenter1 week agoA very nice coffee indeed. With a lovely aftertaste, very smooth. Highly recommended, with excellent service time.
Love the environment here. Solid baristas too. Great place to get some work done.
Look, I don’t mind paying for good, local coffee. But when a drink recently cost me $7 here, that was just a bit much. I’ll stick with brewed coffee here in future.- My @pandafoodie suggestion for here: pair a 12 oz latte with an Italian croissant.
A cappuccino from Milstead is always delicious. The best coffee shop this side of Queen Anne hill.
Joe Murphy LibrarianJanuary 23, 2016Temporary location across the street (under the bridge). Same amazing service and drinks.- Irene J Profitt1 week agoFabulous aroma, very smooth everyday coffee. This one is definitely my favorite of them all. Enjoyed every moment....
Crystal FauntJanuary 10, 2016Undoubtedly some of the best coffee I've ever had, and the service could not have been better.
Katy IonisJanuary 8, 2020Only place I get mochas because they use Theo dark chocolate and you can ask for it not too sweet. Very rich.
Cool spot, but really annoying that they don't have non-fat milk (but will pretend they do if you order it, unless you notice or press them).
I enjoy their pour overs, can get tough to find a seat during busy times.
Coffee is excellent, pastries are weird.. Just discovered today their chocolate chip cookies are amazing!
Matt KOctober 1, 2012By far the best coffee in Fremont. Their mochas are made using pulverized Theo chocolate bars!
Allie S.August 13, 2015Good latte but not sure why it's rated #1 in Seattle on 4sq. Would prefer if they roasted their own beans. Pastry offerings were also lacking.
Matt RoneyNovember 10, 2013Extremely impressed by this place. A variety of brew methods, and very skilled barista work n
