All City Coffee

Welp, they got the cold, industrial, concrete vibe down pat here.
Have a question about the coffee or syrups? You’ll get a slow finger point to a sign, no words needed apparently.
Know which drink is yours when it’s put on the bar with other orders that are exactly the same? Hopefully, because they’re put up all out of order so people are grabbing others’ drinks and a minor hell breaks loose.
#firstworldproblems, but also #notthatgreatproblems too.
Oh, and super confused about their «roasting». I think they just use Vita now? Lots of Vita labels everywhere. And the website offering relationship advice? This isn’t Storyville Coffee Cult take 2, right?
It’s still coffee though, so 3 stars for coffee being coffee and being available at this place.

Stopped in for a cuppa coffee after having brunch at Brass Tacks ’round the corner. My skinny mocha was delicious and served at a proper temperature which was a nice change of pace because Seattle baristas seem to always have issues getting the coffee to the appropriate temperature.
The space is light and open. There were a few MacBook’ers pounding away on their keyboards. If this place was not so far away from my homestead, I’d be there daily because I (a) love free parking and (b) love good coffee.
Hope to be back to the Georgetown area soon and will return to All City Coffee. For shizzle.

Good coffee but wow, the service was chilly.
It baffles me when service providers who (I assume) like to receive tips are so blatantly cold toward their customers with which they have a 30 second interaction.
I would come back when in the area but would hope for friendlier service. Yowser.

This place is nice and open and a great place to work or study. They serve café vita coffee which is kind of confusing because they have their own stamped bag of coffee.
The barista working while I was there was really rude. He did not want to be there at all and his mood spread throughout the coffee shop. If I was in the area I’d work here but it’s not really special enough to make a trip for.

I came here and it served it’s purpose, which was to provide me coffee and a comfortable place to relax, before heading off somewhere else.
It’s a simple place, nothing special, a few food items, and a big ass coffee/​expresso machine, that you find in most coffee shops. They make a good cup of coffee, I take black, no sugar, no cream, no milk, additives, just plain old coffee. They do a good job providing such deliciousness. It’s drinkable, mild, not burnt.
I enjoy the location, it is not any more or less roomy that another coffe shop in Seattle. Is it better than Starbucks, sure, it’s isn’t overly busy, and comfy.

Overpriced coffee and food, unfriendly service and cold environment. The building is so hard that everything echoes so there is no peacefulness about it. This morning I ordered a sandwich for breakfast. It was a premade, plastic wrapped sandwich in the fridge which was given to me as is and I was told to butter it and heat it up in the panini press myself. I don’t go to a restaurant to make my own food. It was also $ 4.50 so it’s not like it was a cheap bite to make up for me having to do the work myself. This was definitely the last time I go there.

Americano is pretty good. But Im not sure how I feel about drinking it out of a pint glass. And having to toast my own bagel was new. Not that Im complaining about toasting it, its just not the norm. Fun place to people watch.

A indusrial, artsy coffee shop in industrial, artsy Georgetown! An excellent morning stop for true coffee lovers with a good, quality tea selection as well. Limited but adequate nibbles, mostly pastries, breads, cookies, bagels, and some heat-​to-​order breakfast sandwiches.
But as all you coffee peeps know, it’s all about the barista in a true Seattle coffee shop, and my many experiences here with a variety of baristas has been surprisingly consistent. Good advanced espresso skills with clean bar habits and coffee more towards the Latte Art style popularized by Vivace. My worst cup of joe here is still lightyears ahead of anything Starderps has ever made for me.
Some folks might be put off a bit by the cold, industrial feel of the place or feel it’s too «hipster» for them. And some of the art IS downright fricken UGLY. But keep in mind the art instalations are temporary, change every month or so, and are occasionally wonderful indeed. And no need to fear the skinny-​jean lumberjack manbun thing– it’s really no more stupid than old salesman combovers, tiny-​dog-​in-​designer-​handbag fetishists, obnoxiously revealing yoga pant wearers, reverse ball-​cap brahs, or forward ball-​cap belly-​scratching rural republicants…
It’s just a thing, not really a scene. And I get the impression everyone is as welcome here as they want to be.
Recomnended!

They really got that extra star from me when they upped their food game: pastries are now coming from Standard Bakery in South Lake Union, instead of the tired Macrina offerings they’ve carried for so long. The «Morning Bun» was crispy outside, cinnamony and soft inside, and pairs perfectly with my mocha. Can’t wait to try the «Everything Croissant», a seeded croissant with herb and chive cream cheese.
But as all my coffee peeps know, quality in the cup starts with quality behind the counter in a true Seattle coffee shop. Having been served by a number of different baristas here, I can report that they are surprisingly consistent. Good advanced espresso skills with clean bar habits and a style tending more towards the Latte Art genre popularized by Vivace. My worst cup of joe here is still lightyears ahead of anything Starderps has ever made for me.

Came in here to kill some time while waiting for brunch. Cute coffee shop with lots of lighting from open windows as it sits on a corner. Got a soy latte and it was really nice and smooth! I really enjoyed it and my go to drink when I try out new places. The one gripe I have is that there’s not enough seating. It was a packed Sunday morning and we were waiting around for people to leave. It’s a nice space and I think they can utilize it with a little more seating.

Free wifi. It’s got big windows with lots of light and high ceilings, but somehow feels cozy. Great coffee and people watching. Go here.

Stopped into All City yesterday as I needed to switch from my usual shop down the street that happens to close an hour or so earlier, to finish some work. I’ve done this on several occasions to wrap up classes, etc. I’m always sure to buy my usual campagna with a bit of their (now stale) leftover slices of bread to suffice for my stay. This time I just picked up a cup tea along with a dollar tip.
I’m not sure if it’s merely the acoustics in the room but this is now the third time I’ve had such experiences. Shortly after I sat down the barista on-​shift began to slide large metal chairs across the room, literally slamming them into the tables they occupy. Followed by vigorous sweeping so loud that I had to remove the my headphones to see what is going on just feet away from me.
On my first visit, I asked if the acoustic guitar (equipped with a pick) hanging next to a couch was open to play. The barista responded with a short, ‘No’. Having spent some time performing professional in my career, this was sad. I’m not sure why it is there at all. This was also an experience when the barista spent the better part of an hour chatting rather loudly about her distaste for the management, quitting, and again, slamming screeching chairs into tables as soon as 7p (7:30 closing) rolls around.
Even the environment and aesthetic is distasteful and always a topic for political debate. The walls are currently adorned in images of police brutality. Specifically clowns being beaten by the police. Considering that the Black Live Matter movement is often the centerpiece of this campaign, I found it wildly inappropriate.
It seems that every time I have come to this shop, despite my polite/​short conversation, the staff make it as apparent as possible that they are setting up to close and that I should not be there. This is by far the most unwelcoming environment I have been to in any Seattle coffee shop and I would not recommend you spend any time with their café experience if you need a nice place to sit & stay.

Nice place. Great to stay and work. Noise level is loud, but I like the atmosphere.
I ordered mocha and chocolate croissant. The croissant was not really fresh but mocha was ok.

Ordered a blueberry scone and a café au lait. Coffee was so good, rich — utterly deluxe. I paid $ 9 for a half pound of bulk coffee. That seemed high particularly when they handed me a bag the size of an airplane puke bag (think Frontier, not American). Despite the sticker shock, they were efficient and polite. The condiment area was strewn with wrecked cups and ripped packets of sugar and a slightly overflowing self-​serve slop bucket, but post-​breakfast rush, it was acceptable.

Love this little gem in the heart of Georgetown. Beautiful older building with what looks like a mid-​century update. (VERY COOL). The guy behind the bar was super friendly and was easy to talk to, made a pretty solid espresso drink for me. Sat outside to chat as we watched the world go by, and there is an interesting crowd in that area! People watching on a whole new level! Highly recommended!

Love this place! I ordered latte .It came with beautiful latte art.

I came into the store on my phone talking to my mom catching up with her and as usual the conversation carried on and I had to get drinks for a friend and myself and then get back to her apartment so we could get going to our next event.
The Barista ignored me right away and when I motioned her over with a written down order she rudely interrupted my conversation to say she would serve me once I was off the phone – something I understand is annoying to baristas and I get that its perceived as incredibly rude but what was I to do? I needed coffee and my mom wouldn’t shut up! But instead of being understanding this woman gave me all kinds of ugly glares and bad attitude and literally threw a tantrum as she defiantly spun the IPad Square payment device around for me to sign and huffed away. She made the drinks in 30 seconds and ignored me and rolled her eyes when I said thank you.
I gave two stars simply because the building is an old retro revamped space that is open and gets nice light but that ambience is spoilt by the awful energy of the staff. Feeling upset about everything, I talked to a few friends who had similar experiences and clued me in that All City is the worst coffee shop in Georgetown.
Oh, and the drinks were unpalatable and that’s not just because they were made with contempt.

Decided to try a new coffee shop with a friend. This place was located on a corner in georgetown. parking wasnt too bad. Lots nearby.
I ordered an iced white chocolate mocha. It was definitely on the sweeter side of things. Not sure I loved it too much.
the place is good to relax and chill on a sunny afternoon. Nothing special or outstanding. I will.pass and go try other coffee shops

One of the better coffee shops in South Seattle. 4 stars for quality, size of location, cleanliness, hours and speediness.
+ coffee tastes great (café vita coffee& monin syrups)
+/​-​pastries are ok
Noteworthy:
* never had to wait long for a drink regardless of line size
* takes credit or debit
* usually tons of free parking in the area however the street is currently closed off for construction
+ staff always gets the drink right and even gave me a replacement coffee when I spilled mine (at my own fault)
+ lots of space to work or study

My first foray into Georgetown was popped hard with a visit to All City Coffee. It’s a really nice space. It feels large, and felt empty though a lot of the seats were filled. Mostly large community tables where people can (maybe) become friends.
The mocha grande comes in a pint glass with one of those hand protectors wrapped around it. Strange? Yes, I thought so too. The taste was satisfactory, however. It’s a nice place to sit and work for a while, whether in isolation or with your loved one. They have some snacks as well, which are tasty!
Wi-​Fi without a password? Thank god. I won’t have to talk to anyone any more than I have to.

Black coffee, no sugar, no cream /​That’s the kind of girl I need down with my team.
Said no one ever… except Heavy D. RIP.
I can’t drink black coffee, so I got the usual soy latte. It’s a little depressing that as I get older, I’m becoming slightly lactose intolerant. Tears. The latte was ok, nothing special, a grade higher than your average Starbucks.
Not a fan of the layout, felt cramped, not enough table space, and it was a bit bland overall. Although, I do like the high ceiling and the Georgetown location.
