Crema's Take
“Anchored Ship's silk-smooth espresso drinks and exceptional house-made pastries—particularly their buckwheat banana bread—punch way above what you'd expect from this converted-house layout in Ballard. The vibe is deliberately low-key and creative, with solid wifi and enough seating to camp out for hours, drawing a loyal mix of laptop workers and pastry pilgrims who'd rather skip the obvious downtown chains. Fair warning: it's easy to walk right past, but that's part of why the regulars love it.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Peculiar coffee shop in the heart of Ballard. The layout is a little clunky as it appears to be an old house converted into a coffee shop. Not much they can do about that, but it still feels clunky. I didn't feel inclined to stay and hang out more than 15 mins. The shop ended up…
