Victrola Coffee Roasters

Victrola sits in a 1920s auto row building on East Pike, a block off Broadway in Capitol Hill. The shop opened in 2000 and the Pike Street location does triple duty as cafe, roastery, and training room. Beans are roasted on the premises through the morning. Walls hang with rotating work from local painters and photographers, and the sound of the roaster cycling fills the back of the room. Free public cuppings happen on select Fridays at eleven, where anyone can taste through the lineup. The pour-over bar is the move. Espresso is dialed for clarity over punch. On weekend afternoons Capitol Hill regulars flow in for the corner table by the window. Order a single-origin pour-over if you came to taste what Victrola is roasting this week. Order the cortado if you want the house dialed shot through milk.
