"We went to Empire Coffee on a Sunday afternoon. It was not crowded at all. My husband got the pour-over coffee, which was so good! I ordered the chai latte, and it was exactly what I wanted. We chose to come here because the reviews mentioned it is kid-friendly. The kids were so excited to play in the pretend coffee shop. The pastries were also delicious. Overall, it was a great experience."

"This spot is nestled in a quiet area with delicious coffee and a small but decent collection of snacks. It has a small play area for kids and a welcoming open window concept with fantastic natural light. There is a drive through window if you are in a rush as well."

"Latte, worst ive tried anywhere in seattle. Watery, milk not textured and not hot at all. Not busy to not make a half decent drink. Interior and equipment it's deceiving. Ended up throwing away the drink, didn't care to say anything if they feel its ok putting out such a low quality product. Just imagine if I said something."

"This is the second time I've come in to work from Empire Coffee. And both times the people behind the counter were rude. They act like they're too busy to take my order and definitely don't want to answer one simple question about green tea. I don't understand why. Also, it's loud inside, too much glare from the sun, and the seats are uncomfortable. Prices are okay, but all in all, not a good experience I waited to write a negative review to see if it was just a one time occurrence. But this time they knew people were coming in because the power was out in the area, and they neglected to mention anything about their Wi-Fi being down, not until after taking my order and seeing me take a picture of the wifi password whilewaiting for my order. So now I have to find coffee and food after find somewhere else to work. Ridiculous."

"Empire Coffee in Seattle offers an exceptional coffee experience. The aroma of freshly locally roasted beans fills the air, creating an inviting atmosphere. The coffee taste smooth (best medium roast). A must-visit for anyone craving a delightful coffee journey in the heart of Seattle."
