Storyville Coffee Pike Place

Incredibly friendly staff, and went out of there way to give us the best experience possible. They showed my 11 year old son how to create latte art in the nicest way possible, now he wants to start doing it himself for my coffee. Don’t mess around with Starbucks, come here. Now, we will make sure to come here every time we come to Seattle. In fact, it was so memorable, my 11yo asked to leave them a review, thus wrote this one. Thank you.

An absolute gem! Such cute decor and amazingly happy and polite staff. The free gifts are a great touch too!
Delicious chocolate cake, good coffee, and amazing cinnamon rolls. The texture of the cake and cinnamon rolls are on point!
The croissant is flaky and crispy. The chocolate cake is so moist and great flavor not being too sweet, but showing off the dark chocolate.
I got a free mug as well.

Amazing find, tucked up on the upper floor in Pike Place Market. Loved the ambience, the staff was super-friendly and they have some really really good coffee and the pastry selection looked super tempting too. Also got one of their coffee mugs for free, as a first time visitor - which was really cool!!

Storyville is a HUGE surprise for what a coffee / pastry shop could be in Pike Place market. The issue with Pike Place recently is that the neighborhood has gotten shady and dirty, let alone smelly fish and dirty bathrooms come to mind. It doesn't bridge a street market experience with upscale comfort and style.

Well, Storyville at the corner building, right at the entrance to the market, solves exactly that. It is at a prime location, swanky and clean interior, and located on the top floor that overlooks the main Pike Place market.

As you climb up the stairs, you enter this corridor where you see this beautiful modern wooden interior - a complete surprise from what one is used to on the shops at Pike Place. There are leather couches and wooden tables all around, and just lounging while staring at the morning market getting ready for the day was simply magical.

But now, let's start with the coffee and drinks. The latte. You must try the latte. It is simply one of the best lattes you'll ever taste. Also depends on the barista that makes it but at least mine was friendly and simply amazing. The cinammon roll with gooey frosting flowing... my god. There is a caramel and chewy textured glaze that is present which makes this pastry feel like a kouign amann. The croissants... they look straight out of a magazine page. They're not as world class as Cafe Besalu's but still up there.

Storyville at Pike Place has definitely transformed my Pike Place experience. It truly elevates the visit. I highly recommend grabbing breakfast at Storyville at 8am to start your day at the market.

I had walked by this sign a million times, but today, I needed to kill some time until a shop opened in Pike Place. So I followed the signs, up the flights of steps, to a wonderful surprise. They say that you can visit Pike Place once a month for a year and never see everything. I never knew this place was here. At the end of the hallway was this charming, personable coffeehouse that reminded me of how important it is to support independent places like this. The space was filled with leather seats and couches. A fireplace helped add a homey feel to it. The service was a bit slow to make, but that is because they bring your orders to you. They pick up your dishes and serve water, which is a nice touch. The view is part the main street of the market and a little bit of Elliott Bay. It's too bad they don't serve booze. All in all, if you're in the market, this is a VERY nice alternative to Starbucks.

Absolutely amazing experience!! The staff were so friendly. The cinnamon roll heated up was without a doubt the best pastry I have ever had. The ambience was so lovely, wish I lived here because I would come every day!

Great coffee at a relatively high price, but comes with a free gift of a mug for any new customers, which I think it is a super sweet & smart idea! It was packed on a Sunday morning when I visited so I ordered a takeaway instead of dine in. Staffs were very nice and attentive despite the line was always long!

Wow! What an incredible coffee spot. If you don’t mind a wait it’s well worth it for very rich flavorful coffee. You can even sign up for a free mug for your first visit when you wait in line. They also do a deal where if you buy a bag of roasted beans you get a free drink of choice. I had an iced cold brew and it was delicious. Such a cool seating area as well with a cool view of the market and water. We didn’t try the food but instead brought some crumpets up with us from downstairs which the staff was ok with us having.

What a fantastic coffee shop! Located upstairs above the crumpet shop. I love coming here and enjoying an amazing house made cinnamon roll and a cortado or latte. This really is one of the better coffee shops in Seattle. The consistency of the coffee is one large part of that reason, but another reason Storyville Coffee is worth stopping at is their remarkable customer service. everyone was helpful kind and courteous. The coffee shop is clean and cozy. There’s even a great fireplace to sit next to or you can look out the window towards Puget Sound.

Outstanding food and service, but this is the most expensive coffee shop I’ve visited. Located right by Pike Market, this store served me one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. They even offer a free gift for your first visit! My oat milk vanilla latte cost me about $10 (including tax). Added in a homemade croissant and homemade jam brought it closer to $20, not including tip. Yes, it’s expensive, but worth every cent! Coffee was so smooth. I’ve never had such great service at a coffee shop. We also happened to be there at the right time because they bro gut out a warm chocolate cake and served everyone a free piece!
I can’t wait to return!

yes, it’s expensive. yes, it’s a longgg wait. yes, it can take some effort to find seats.

but it is also massively worth it !!!! incredibly delicious cappuccino. really friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere. it’s a pleasure to be there— try it at least once.

(went near christmastime hence the tree)

The BEST Cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. Hands down. If you don’t come here and try it, you are sincerely missing out on life’s greatest gift: the perfect cinnamon roll.

Today was my first day coming to Storyville. The coffee was excellent, and the ambiance of the place is awesome. Such a great view of Pike Place and comfy seating. But most impressive to me was how welcoming staff are. Matt, who I believe is a new employee, took such great care of us. He was very intentional interacting with his customers. Asked us about the books we were reading, and another couple about their board game… in a very genuine way that makes people feel welcomed. Even brought us waters unprompted. Will definitely be back!

An absolute must when visiting Pike’s Place! Located right above the markets busiest area, it is a lovely place to relax and take in everything the market has to offer without feeling too close to everything/everyone. Along with serving several drink options, they also have a variety of small bites/baked goods, perfect for those who want a quick eat along with their coffee. I love coming here when visiting the market, it’s a true gem!

One of the best and cozy cafe I’ve been to. The coffee was amazing and so was the hot chocolate. They have a free mug for first time visitor and generous bartender also gave us caramel cookies on the house. The view is beautiful outside the window with warm vintage lighting inside.

Storyville is GORGEOUS! We ordered a goat cheese pesto breakfast sandwich and a chocolate croissant and both were to die for. The mochas are delicious too. The atmosphere in this cafe is so cozy and makes you want to stay for hours! All the servers were so lovely, and the location is incredible- right in the middle of Pike Place market.

Mary was so kind! What a beautiful coffee shop, excellent coffee, the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had, and a nice touch of the free souvenir mug! 10/10 will be back.

Loved everything about this place! The coffee is super good, the pastries are delicious, the atmosphere, the setting and view are lovely and the baristas are awesomely kind and fast.

Came here on a Saturday, super busy and with a line. But the rotation was smooth. 8 bux for a latte, spendier than most coffee spots, but worth the hype imo. I enjoyed the cup taking a stroll through pike place and the galleries nearby

Absolutely loved the coffee and ambience of this place. Baked goods and pastries are too good. I tried croissant and cake slice, loved them. The staff and baristas are very friendly. Loved the overall vibe. This place is on "must-go" places list in Seattle.
