Gilman Ave Coffee & Doughnuts

Our first coffee experience on this trip to Seattle and it was solid, but nothing special. BF was disappointed as it was his first time in Seattle, and there is that notion that all coffee here is mind blowing. Maybe a little hard to live up to, but I agreed that my chai latte was just okay. Warm when it should have been hotter, more milk than chai so a little bland, and whole milk when I requested skim. I love whole milk, so it was delicious, and it wound up not being a big deal to have the extra calories since we walked about 10 miles around town that day!
It’s a convenient spot right on the main drag in Gilman in the Magnolia neighborhood. It’s a small, cozy space and the barista was friendly and helpful. Even the customer in there chatted us up on our visit. Love the friendly folks in Seattle!

I popped in yesterday afternoon around 4. Since they close at 4:30, I felt a little rushed, but that was no fault of theirs — it was a self-​imposed feeling. I had a tea and settled in to read some newspapers. The woman was very friendly. Around 4:15, she offered me a free doughnut (I chose the glazed cruller), which was nice. All in all a good experience. The place could be larger — it’s really set up more to be a place to grab something and go than somewhere you can settle in for a while — and I wish they didn’t close so early. But for what it is, it’s just fine. Glad they’re here!

Nice, clean, little local establishment that seems to have just opened very recently.
We stopped in prior to a walk in Discovery Park on a beautiful Sunday in the mood for some warm drinks. We were definitely glad we stopped in. As stated prior, the venue is very quaint and clean. They have their own coffee brand and are very contientious with dealing with only locally-​owned businesses. The owner was very cordial and struck a conversation with us without being overly-​friendly. Our drinks were made in a short amount of time and they were very tasty! My wife’s chai could have been a little hotter but that was our fault for not specifying after the fact.
We’d definitely come back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended!

Friendly folks, great coffee and yummy doughnuts. My standard drink, 16oz vanilla mocha was made promptly and with a perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla that is my standard. They want to know what the customer likes and gauging what they carry on that… pretty smart. Great location for those who drive through North Magnolia on the regular. There is not a drive through and you do have to walk in but it is all relative if you need to go into the Midnite Mart next door. I could see myself hang out there in lieu of the free Wi-​Fi and sweet vibe.

At only two weeks old, this place is brand spanking new.
The coffee is good and the people are friendly.
They serve roast and sell their own award winning coffee brand called Conduit and feature good old fashioned doughnuts Monday — Saturday.
Open 7 days a week.
