What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Broadcast Coffee. Broadcast has more than one shop; those who name one mostly mean Yesler on the Central District side, the one listed here. One calls its coffee and a latte excellent, and one remembers it as a study spot, though they have not been in years. One likes how candid the business is with customers, and one finds the Roosevelt shop quiet despite a sterile third-wave look. On the other side, one commenter will not buy from it over what they see as AI-leaning marketing, and another says it is good but not among their favorites.
