Ghost Alley Espresso
1499 Post Aly, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in a fun, hidden-gem location, Ghost Alley Espresso has earned a devoted following for their creative signature drinks like the playful Mystery Mocha, where baristas surprise you with an unexpected flavor twist. The vibe here is decidedly chill—friendly baristas and loyal regulars keep coming back for what many describe as excellent, strong espresso-focused coffee that's worth seeking out in downtown Seattle. It's the kind of place that inspires people to skip their other coffee shop stops and return every morning of their visit.”

Great staff, fun location, excellent coffee! We stopped here every morning of our long weekend in Seattle. Had coffee from another shop and tossed it and went back to Ghost Alley. A must if you're near Pike Market!
We stopped to get a Mocha on a cold day and we also tried the 'Mystery Mocha,' which comes with an additional flabor of the barista's choice. Mine was cinnamon and delicious. It does have a following, so there was a wait but they are efficient and very pleasant. The drinks were great. It's an excellent (and superior) choice to the Starbucks and chains that surround it. The decor is fun, so five for atmosphere. Note: there is not sit-down area here. Take your drinks to go...
Service was good and the people were very friendly, the mystery drink is a cool idea!! But, I originally discovered this existed via tiktok and was disappointed that the coffee wasnt very good. I honestly could make better at home to be honest. It is very cute and it's RIGHT next to the gum wall Probably a one and done kind of thing
if you're a fan of delicious & strong coffee, you have to check this place out.. their cold brew fuels mee...definitely my go to spot when I'm out and about in downtown 🙌🏼 the baristas are chill, and if you avoid peak tourist hours you'll wait no longer than a couple minutes for your coffee. if you're thinking "tourist trap" think instead...best coffee in Seattle. (forgettabout the fake "1st Starbucks" 🙄)
I went here to get my latte fix. It took a while for me to find it. When I got there, there were only 5 people in front of me. So I got my latte and I was quite disappointed. There was no coffee taste. I expected more from this edgy café. The price was also quite steep, $7.17 (incl. tax) for a tasteless latte is not what I was looking for. Great concept though. There were 4 seats, only for the customers.
