Crema's Take

Herkimer is a no-fuss espresso shrine where the baristas genuinely understand their craft, pulling consistently excellent shots that keep regulars coming back multiple times a week. Their lattes strike a beautiful balance of chocolatey and earthy notes without the cloyingness you'll find elsewhere, and they've earned serious acclaim from coffee lovers who've been disappointed by Seattle's broader scene. Fair prices, streamlined focus, and pure attention to quality over gimmicks make this the kind of reliable neighborhood spot that rewards loyalty.

I go here multiple times a week and the coffee never misses! Consistently good, reliable and perfectly priced. The pastry selection however, is very limited and I never feel like getting anything from the options they usually have. Would be cool to have more options.

The coffee is excellent.. The baristas are pure of heart.. What would turn this establishment from 99 to 100 is if they could play Snow Strippers again. Unban them please....

They understand coffee, more so they understand 'espresso' here. As an Australian I have been devastatingly disappointed with Coffee in Seattle...... until I found Herkimer.... Outstanding work guys. Keep it up.

Herkimer is my no.1 spot for having latte in Seattle so far. It has a great balance of chocolatey, earthy and hint of fruity notes. Prices are also lower than most places. It could be a little difficult to find a table, many people come here for working. This location has a park across the corner though.

🥘: 8/10. Came here in a early morning  it was superb! I ordered a coffee latte and it was very foamy and tasted incredible! It is not too sweet and everything tasted perfect! I am also very tempted to get the pastry as they all look wonderful! The price is also quite reasonable! 🧑🏻‍🍳: 9/10: Service is great, very friendly staff and they are all very handsome and very kind! They are all incredible and nice! They are delightful! I have a really good impression ! 📍: 8/10: the coffee is very nice and simply aesthetic! When the sun is shining through the glass windows it was just a beautiful view! Very clean as well and located in a great spot and nice neighborhood! It's a cute Cafe!!
