Milstead & Co.
754 N 34th St, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Milstead is a serious third-wave coffee destination that sources beans from quality roasters across the country, with a particular strength in espresso and pour-over preparation that consistently delivers rich, flavorful results. The industrial-meets-casual vibe and genuinely warm staff make it feel like a neighborhood gathering spot rather than a pretentious caffeine temple, though you'll pay premium Seattle prices for the experience. Come for the expertly crafted coffee and excellent pastries, settle in for a slow sit, and expect consistency—though even regulars note the occasional off-day cappuccino keeps things honest.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Really solid spot for third wave and a large selection of beans from a variety of roasters. Good pastries too. It was very pricey ($8 for a latte and $7 for drip) but it’s Seattle so you just have to accept that for the most part. Pour over is aero press unless you request the…
Some of the best coffee in Seattle, just across the Fremont Bridge. Brewed with beans sourced from top roasters around the country, the coffee is rich and flavorful. The space is open and welcoming, with plenty of seating. Street parking is available. Definitely worth a visit!
A conveniently located coffee house, just under the Aurora bridge on highway 99. Casual 90's and 00's pop music punches the atmosphere, but it's not overwhelming. The industrial decor is a bit cold, but common for many coffee houses today. I found the staff to be happy and…
