Crema's Take
“The baristas at Artemis genuinely want to talk coffee with you—they're knowledgeable without being pretentious, and they'll dial in your pour over or espresso drink with real care.

If you're in Ballard and want specialty coffee served by people who actually give a damn, this is the real deal.”
