Elm Coffee Roasters

"This is a review of their online operations. I started ordering from them after visiting the physical locations a few years ago. Elm Coffee Roasters offer quite nice beans for online customers. But 10oz (instead of 16oz or 12oz) starting at $19 for blend is very pricey. Single origin options are currently being sold around $22-25 for 10oz bags. Their shipping for one bag is about $4. While the beans are decent and the packaging is edgy, the value simply isn't there compared to other roasters who roast single origin beans for $20 per 14-16oz and offer free-shipping."

"My go to spot for espresso & take home beans. When I was dining, in a man who was experiencing homelessness came in with not enough money for a coffee and the barista still gave them a cup of coffee and treated them like any other customer. The man joined me at my table for a while, it was a very cold day and the barista gave him multiple warm ups on his coffee too. Pioneer square is often stigmatized and it’s great to see a business treat their neighbors with dignity and respect. I’ve been coming here since 2018 and am a proud customer!"

"I've honestly never been to the shop, I always order their coffee online. But for all the amazing roasters out here in WA I've tried over the last 10+ years, I think Elm roasts the best damn coffee around! They always deliver interesting and complex varietals you cannot get elsewhere. I've had to rebalance my entire financials to be able to drink Elm coffee every day, though."

"All of the coffees they serve are roasted in the back room. They roast Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there are large viewing windows to see the action. Cupping and brewing classes are held in the back area. I tried two different coffees. First was spiced coffee, it was amazing!!! I was afraid that it might be to sweet, but it is actually not. The sweetness is perfect. And I tried one and one. If you want to taste their coffee bean original teste and also want a macchiato, it is a good option."

"Cozy little coffee shop/roaster with a friendly vibe and great aesthetic. Flat white and an oat milk latte for the parents, milk steamers — one chocolate & one vanilla bean — for the kids. Plus one AMAZING chocolate chip oat cookie we all fought over! ⚡️"
