Country girl in the big city, now thoroughly embarrassed via lack of communication. Y'all ready for a funny story? I walk in at 930 AM on a Tuesday morning, order an Americano, and wait for my drink to be called. I get it and proceed to doctor up my drink, but I didn't see anywhere to put the dirty spoons. I asked the staff where to put my dirty utensils and without looking up, pausing to show me, or skipping a beat, the gal says, "There is a bus tray right here"...I saw the big metal canister on the counter with some metal in it and thought that is what she must be referring to since that's all I could see... So I happily pitched my spoon into it only to hear, "OhmyGod NO that's my espresso"...turns out that was full of espresso beans. Great, lady, I understand it was a bit busy... it would have taken a couple of seconds to look up from what you were doing. Maybe bus trays should be in a more visible area for people unfamiliar with the cafe. Now to rate the actual coffee, it was good, I am pleased. The customer service, however, not...
Read moreCame here while a lot of Seattle attractions, restaurants, and stores were closed or had modified hours due to COVID. Voxx had limited indoor dining, which was reasonable. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried! The cortado was balanced, and steamed to perfection. Lattes were as well. I had some of their espresso by itself and it was given to me in a proper ceramic cup with a cup of bubbly water. It was some of the best espresso I’ve ever had.

As you’d expect, it was also delicious. The baristas were friendly and talented! I wish I paid more attention to their store hours, because I missed my opportunity to get beans from them!
Overall, if you’re stopping in Seattle and want to try some delicious craft coffee,...
Read moreThese online pictures of coffee and reviews prior to mine were enticing and Google's description I read made it the number 1 place to go for a cup of coffee in Seattle. I expected to be interested in its futuristic ambiance etc and distinguished unique Seattle coffee. I WAS LET DOWN. Right when I walked in, it was a boring cookie cutter coffee joint. I did not get the design on top of my mocha. In my A's hat and selfie stick, most out of town places I go enthusiastically welcome me with the money look (I like it). Yes I did spend money on a rice milk mocha. I assume that they are exclusively welcoming to their regulars - having come in with the joint empty (how do I know how they treat everybody else). I was hardly even noticed and I did not see any smiles. Those cold stares made me want to leave immediately after I got my coffee - which the coffee was good and a appreciate the rice...
