What to know

Anchorhead Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster founded by Jake Paulson and Mike Steiner in Seattle, Washington. While the company maintains its roasting operations in Duvall, it has expanded its presence with multiple cafes across the city, including locations in Pike Place Market and Capitol Hill. This specific site at 1600 Seventh Ave serves as the brand's flagship cafe. Located within CenturyLink Plaza, the flagship space was first opened in 2016 to meet the rising demand for the company's bottled cold brew and whole bean coffee. The cafe occupies a 1,000-square-foot area designed specifically for coffee drinkers who care deeply about the quality and craft of their brew. Visitors to the downtown location can enjoy a menu focused on specialty espresso and precision pour-overs. The brand is recognized for producing award-winning whole bean coffee, which is also available for purchase through their website for those wishing to brew at home. Beyond the downtown flagship, the company's Capitol Hill location offers a different experience, functioning as both a cafe and an event space. That site provides unique opportunities for visitors to engage with the craft through private latte art classes and hosted events.
