Gourmet Latté

The coffee here is amazing. If you dislike Starbucks burnt coffee, you will love it. Not to mention the gals that work here are super nice. The blonde manager has my drink made for me pretty much every time I drive up. I will go out of my way to go to one of their locations whenever I get coffee

This spot is not over rated at all. There are lots of funky little drive thrus around but this one is my fave. Great service, above par food options, and the best themed coffee drinks. I love that because I dont really have a go to.
The girls are super cute so if youre one of the dudes there to oggle I hope youre tipping extra!

Thank you ladies for always serving up delicious and perfect coffees! The line can be long sometimes but they’re speedy and you get your coffee pretty quickly still!
All of the girls there are very welcoming and friendly. Definitely starts my morning off right.

I come here a few times a week. Their drinks are consistent and I certainly like them better than Starbucks.
Prices are fine. The baristas can be very friendly but depending on who you get, they can be pretty short, too. Sometimes I almost regret leaving a tip because the barista was so snippy with me. Seems strange when you’re mainly depending on tips.
Anywho, I will continue to frequent Gourmet Latte but their service varies greatly.

My daily coffee stop. The girls are always friendly, never have I encountered any attitude or gotten the cold shoulder like some other places. They have REAL caramel, not just the synthetic overly-​sweet tripe in the bottle. Yeah I know lots of places have real caramel, but not all, so a plus in my book. I get a mocha every Friday and they remember this in addition to my Monday-​Thursday order. And very convenient, just off 15^th/​Holman. Did I mention their coffee is really good too?

Love this place, coffee is great, service is always great and they actually have Almond milk which many stands (including Starbucks) do not. I usually go in the mornings and simply enjoy this place (plus I think they know EVERY regular customer’s orders)

Are you sure this drive-​thru isn’t run by a cheerleading booster club?
Because it is staffed by some of the perkiest ladies I have ever met.
The window is a little high for my sedan, making me feel like Oliver asking for more porridge every time I drive up. But no worries. I like that they have Pink’s Bakery baked goods and a wide selection of sugary drinks.
Being a non-​native, the first time they asked me if I wanted a bean I was confused. I reflexively refused. I later privately asked some Sea-​towners and it means a chocolate covered coffee bean. That is my confession to you.

Excellent service and coffee, great staff and never a dull moment! These ladies are Definetly morning people! Starbucks, although local business is highly overrated. Give these girls a visit!

This is my weekend drive-​thru coffee place. I go to Speedtrap Espresso during the week since it is near my work. Gourmet Latte is great! Good tasting coffee, nice baristas who usually remember you, and pretty good pricing. I love their coffee drink suggestions and new flavors!
If you are a double shot person like I am… beware! The 16 oz drink does NOT automatically come with 2 shots! It is a single shot unless you specifically pay to add another shot. I have found this strange since this is literally the only place I have been to that does that… generally speaking 16 oz drinks automatically have 2 shots. I had to live and learn, so maybe this will save a couple of you from not getting your full caffeine fix!
Purrs…

We love you guys and get drinks every morning (We spend at least $ 50 a week here) always friendly and always remember our drinks, but if you go in the afternoon its a hit or miss, I am writing thus because today we went to get coffee and they forgot my cream and the sugar was very crunchy, seems like the girls in the morning have alot more attention to details.

My go-​to drive-​thru espresso stand. The staff is always very friendly, brew up some great drinks, and they offer Caffe D’Arte which is one of my favorites. Logistics can be a little tricky sometimes at this location during the busy times as the «other» window is a little hard to maneuver into if there is a line.
Service is usually pretty quick and they offer a punch card which is nice if you come often. Recommend if you want a good drink at a reasonable price!

I am fairly new to Seattle and have just grown to appreciate good coffee. I’ve tried a lot of the coffee places, including the drive throughs. While the weather may suck a good portion of the year, great coffee is a wonderful tradeoff. Gourmet Latte is my favorite of all the coffee places around. I have always had very friendly, quick and professional service. The coffee is always smooth and not bitter. I appreciate the card that gets stamped each time and the chocolate covered coffee bean as a topper. After only a couple of times of being there, they know my drink which is pretty incredible given the volume of people who go through there on any given day. Thumbs up and keep up the great work!

The staff here is super friendly and the drinks are excellent. I’ve been through when there is a new girl working and they’ve always made sure I was happy with my drink and if I wasn’t they were willing to re-​do it. They also have a punch card for frequent visitors.

Chicks are cool, but the coffee is low grade.

Creamiest drinks.

I think café d’arte is one of my favorite seattle roasting co;s (along with Vivace and Herkimer), which is what they use here. Im an easy one… Americano, so it’s easy for me to compare coffee to other places. The service has always been friendly for me and they always ask if i need straws or chocolate coffee beans (i dont know what thats for? to munch on??). The space to me seems ample and the price is cheaper here than at Starbucks (ok only by like 0.20 or something). They have lots of other drinks– smoothies, fancy lattes that sound like dessert for all you sugar fiends but I’ve never tried them. Oh they also have punch cards (buy 12 get 1 free or something)!

I’ve been going here most mornings on the way to work for a few of years now. You’ll find a hard time getting a better cup of coffee. Not the cheapest drive-​thru in the city, but certainly the best. Kjelsy, Jesse, Rachel and the others are always friendly and often my cup is waiting for me by the time I get to the window. Its always sad when someone leaves for bigger and better things, but I’m extremely happy for them. Top notch hiring standards make GL a cut above. My only bad part is sometimes the line is 4 to 5 cars deep on each side and I have to pass (or get up earlier!) and get a substandard cup further down the road.

I’ve gone through here a few times as it’s super convenient on my way to work in the mornings but that’s really the only plus for me. The baristas have been just short of rude the first two times I ordered coffee here. There was no huge line of vehicles honking and feverishly waiting for their caffeine infusion… it was just me patiently waiting to try out a new coffee stand. The last time I came through here the young lady was quite friendly and if she had been the one to assist me the previous times I would have a completely different view of this establishment because with me customer service and a good attitude go a long way.
The other thing that struck me about my beverages from here, while being made exactly to my specifications, is that they weren’t very good. I’m not sure what kind of product they use for their white chocolate mochas or what things could potentially ruin said productions (expired or spoiled?) but I have never finished a drink from here.
I’m sure I’ll give them another try at some point but right now I’d rather drive just down the street and get a mocha from McDonald’s.

I have not been through here for over a year due to awful coffee and even worse service. I thought that maybe things have changed since its been a while, unfortunately they have not the service is still atrocious. The two that waited on me this evening were more interested in flirting with the guys on the other side of the drive thru, who BTW drove up after I had placed my order and had been waiting, yet they drove off both with coffee in hand minutes before I received mine. Call me crazy but first come first served? I only ordered one drink, a flavored Americano, which does not require much to get it done, so I am not sure why it took over five minutes to make? I could not even taste my coffee and had to add shots to it when I got home, which I should not have had to do. I think this is why Starbucks does so well, they actually care about the quality of your drink, if you have an issue they remake it and they are usually very consistent. After this visit I certainly will not be back, I had hopes that they had corrected their issues, but I think it was just that. Thumbs down and I hope management does something about their service because that is the reason I stopped going here I am sure I am not alone in that opinion either.

Gourmet Latte in Ballard is a good stop.
–Still the same great coffee as the one in Shoreline. Consistent shots, nice tasting drinks.
–The location in Ballard is a bit tight (at the small end of the PetCo store), so if the lines get more than two cars long, I bypass (too tight for my pickup to turn into).
–Baristas are friendly, but not over the top. This is the most efficient Gourmet Latte stand where I stop.
–In the morning rush, can sometimes forget the niceties that make it «gourmet» (such as the chocolate espresso beans).

I come to this coffee stand often. Perhaps, sometimes too much. But I digress. The baristas at this stand rock! They know numerous people’s «regular» drinks off the top of their head, including mine, and are very fast, efficient, and super friendly.

My drive through coffee stand options in my ‘hood are limited. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something not right about girls wearing next to nothing handling my drinks and food that I’m about to consume. Something not right as in ew, dirty. So, I was pleased to discover an alternative to the bikini baristas down the street. Thank you Gourmet Latte baristas for slingin’ lattes with your clothes on.
Gourmet Latte is in the parking lot of Petco. With a drive-​thru window on each side of the stand, the wait seems to be minimal, whether you’re getting your caffeine fix in the morning hours or grabbing an afternoon pick-​me-​up. If you don’t like coffee (why do you live in Seattle?), they have plenty of non-​java related drinks, such as jet teas, Italian sodas and smoothies. Pricing seems standard and service is pretty average (but they have clothes on, hallelujah!).
So, if you’re running on empty and in a hurry, Gourmet Latte can fill ya up.
