Gourmet Latté

A great vanilla latte! Very sweet girl working there. Any place that keeps dog treats on hand gets two thumbs up from me! A little pricey but convenient if you don’t want to get out of your car.

I live near this Gourmet Latte location and stop by at least once a day for a fix. They’re easily my favorite coffee place in Seattle. The entire crew that works are all great people, with warm, friendly personalities. The drinks are consistently well done, making a great start to my days.
Definitely recommended!

What does Gourmet Latte do when you drive up for the first time and order a basic iced single-​shot latte and ask them to blend it rather than serving it on the rocks (menu price –about four bucks)? They call it a frappé and charge you six bucks.
It was just the kick in the pants I needed to dig out my blender and make my own freaking iced lattes.

The best place about this coffee stand was the friendly service. The barista made it very personal and was very talkative instead of just making the coffee. It isn’t the best coffee stand I’ve had in the Seattle area but I would definitely recommend it for the fast and friendly service!

I have been going to this location for about 13 months now. When I first began coming to this location, there was some management (barista) changeover. For about 3 months I would see new girls all the time.
Since then, they have managed to create a new consistent crew. All 4 girls are sweet, they make consistently AMAZING coffee (obviously I have come here for a year (sometimes 2x a day))
Dani is not only an amazing barista, but she is super easy to talk to. Great personality & always great service.
Thanks, girls! I’ll see you tomorrow!

Starbucks have always been a blessing and a curse for me. I love the coffee and it has been a stable in my mornings for at least 15 years. This Starbucks is pretty good and mostly consistent. It has friendly staff and the coffee is made with care. It is a bit pricey, 2 coffee with soy milk was over 7 bucks, but it nice for a treat every now and then. How much I love Starbucks I wish there was another good coffee place for a change. They have a monopoly and they know it, which isn’t a bad thing being they are such a great place for coffee and light meals.

I just want to start with I love Gourmet Latte! I live in Lynnwood so I’m used to the surrounding locations but I work in Seattle so I travel 15 minutes out of my way to go to this location. The baristas are always welcoming and one of the girls, Danielle, remembered not only my drink but place of work having only been there one time! And she makes it perfectly! Great business, taking over and for a good reason. Keep it up, youre doing it right!

This stand used to be one of the best out there especially for a drive through coffee spot, The quality of coffee was always spot on. The only reason I’m even giving two stars is because it used to be good. However they have all new baristas in the last month or two and the coffee is well below par to say the least. The odds of getting a good coffee are slim and your odds of waiting forever are very high. Not to mention not making the correct drinks which has now happened for the 3^rd time. Just to say I hope a change is made to bring in people who can actually make coffee.

Damn good espresso! It’s the best coffee probably west of Nantucket for sure! just go there? Jeez… just sayin’. Miss you Ray and of course your delicious coffee!

Rayonna is the tops! A self-​proclaimed coffee lover, she definitely knows her way around the espresso machine and blenders. The best!
Julianna is great too, and always friendly and willing to go the extra mile for her patrons.
The other employees also help make this a great stand.
Signage is the issue here. If I didn’t know where this, my favorite stand was, I’d never see it driving on the road. Don’t know if there are signage restrictions in this part of town, but the building, standing back considerably from the road, has very poor visibility.
If I were the owner, I’d make the stand «pop» a little more. This is an exceptional drive-​by area for business, but the owner’s promotion efforts could be stronger.

A friend recommended me to try Gourmet Latte. I’ve been searching for a really good place to get a blended horchata drink. I google’d this location and I can’t get any information so I decided to drive all the way up there to try it out. I get there and they were closed and on top of that they didn’t even have their hours posted for future reference. I searched and searched for their phone number again and got nothing. I even emailed the owner to get info. All I wanted to know is their hours. I got a hold of one of their other locations and asked for the phone number for their Elliot Ave location and was told they couldn’t give it to me. Which I thought was odd. So I guess I will never know how their lattes and drink taste.

It’s a pretty standard drive-​through espresso stand, much like the thousands of others in the state. But they seem to have a little extra personality and experiment with innovative syrup flavors — they have a Samoa-​mocha. Enough said.
My fave friendly weekend barista was on the first day of her job when I rolled up for the first time; she let me know she was a little slower than might be expected, but gave me free chocolate covered espresso beans with my order. My latte was kind of cold… but super nice gals!
I can’ take too much sugar so I ordered a complicated version of a signature latte that they had (double grande soy extra hot samoa latte — but just ½ pump of each syrup) and the barista nailed it.
Only gripe — they don’t serve drip coffee, only espresso. So essentially if you just want drip coffee with milk you pay almost the same as a latte.
I’ve never had their food, but I’ll post an update if I do!

Before I came to Seattle I never knew that there are this small coffee kiosks through the state. There are several locations of Gourmet latte throughout the Seattle area and this one is located along a pretty busy roadway so getting in and out might be an issue depending on when you go.
My espresso drink was made before my eyes and was quite tasty. I agree that there are a lot of add ons if you are not careful. For example a large café americano only comes with 2 shots where at some other coffee houses 4 shots is the norm.
However that being said my drink was well executed and gave me the needed jolt to start my day.

I have had the pleasure to try out this quaint roadside coffee shop twice so far and have been very satisfied each time! The girls that work there are very polite, welcoming and always smiling! The big factor that sold me was the fact that they have a 32oz size option for an Italian soda! Not to mention, they have a nice variety of flavors to mix and match. I have found my personal, and favorite, coffee stand. Thanks ladies!

I love coffee shops that don’t start with the word «Star» or end in the word «Bucks». I have been to roadside coffee houses before in the South end, but those are sketchy. You never know when your baristas are going to be dressed or not. I don’t need double shot of boobies with my espresso, thanks.
Gourmet Latte is not a bikini coffee stand, they serve tasty, not overly roasted espressos and what I thought was a decent price point.
I rolled up last Sunday expecting a hot and fresh $ 2.15 for a 16oz Americano that would surely fit the bill… Then came the «hidden fees».
$ 0.40 for an extra espresso shot that I didn’t ask for, $ 0.35 for using my credit card, to which the barista did not warn me of, $ 0.50 for requesting a flavor that was recommended by the barista.
Having been quite upset that my $ 2.15 Americano was now $ 3.70, I calmly tried to ask the barista to explain about all these extra fees. Rudely, she stumbled over her words with an attitude that frankly shocked me. «That’s just your total, okay?!» She smirkly commented in a valley girl accent.
Goodness! That’s not gourmet, that is terrible customer service. A simple, «I’m sorry I did not inform you beforehand» would have been nice. No tip for you, lady.

I usually go to the Gourmet Latte on Holman road and I just realized yesterday there’s one on Elliot! I was so excited. The girls are super friendly, especially Rihanna (I think that was her name). Way better than Starbucks and they give you delicious express bean Chocolate balls. AMAZING.
I wish I knew there was a Gourmet Latte on Elliot sooner, I suggest advertising there locations, probably would get more business! :)

Ever since my workplace moved I haven’t had a Starbucks to stop by for coffee. I started getting my coffee at this place because it’s kinda close to work and I can get off the bus earlier and just stop by. They have a surprising variety of drinks and I try to get something new each time. The girls here are really sweet.
They also have some breakfast items which is nice on the days that I just want a warm breakfast sandwich.

thanks for the message karissa. i frequent about 5 of your stores and am always happy with everything. also i have an espresso machine at home and buy your coffee every friday for my at home coffee. good job on everything.

Gourmet Latte Queen Anne is a fun stop on the way to Seattle.
Pros:
–still consistent shots pulled — tasty and not over-​bitter
–Good consistent tasty drinks
–Very friendly baristas (sometimes a little over-​happy, but I still chuckle on the way to work if they are over the top).
Cons: On the way to work into Seattle, crossing the lanes of traffic both in the stand and out can be tricky.

Wonderful gourmet lattes and I had a refreshing smoothie once too. If you are tired of looking for a drive-​thru starbucks and want to support your local coffee stand this is the place to do it. It is one of those drive up coffee shacks and if you have your dog with you, they’ll even give you free dog treats. Say yes when they ask if you want coffee beans (chocolate-​marbled espresso beans) with your coffee. I don’t like coffee beans but these were tasty and they just give you a few with your drink. So nice and friendly and they have a daily trivia question so you can receive $ 0.25 off. I usually get the white chocolate mocha but I’ve had their smoothies and it was also tasty.
This review is actually for the 540 Elliott Avenue location in Queen Anne; I don’t see a location with the Unilocal address listed on their stamp card.
