Herkimer Coffee
5611 University Wy NE #100c, Seattle, WA
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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.
