Fans of the clandestine pop-up MmmHmm Coffee will be happy to learn that it now has a permanent home inside of Hilliard’s Beer in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. After spending several months serving coffee cocktails at Ballard Avenue’s Anchored Ship Coffee Bar and bringing you fine espresso drinks in the lobby of the Sanborn Building – the café is here to stay inside the brewery.
MmmHmm Coffee prides itself on serving single-origin coffees from North Carolina’s exclusive roaster Counter Culture Coffee and is one of only three locations in Seattle to do so – including the legendary Canlis. Owner Jon French is believes in creating sweet, clean, balanced coffee beverages of the highest quality. Coffees are ground with precision using an EK43 Grinder and brewed to perfection using complete pressure profiling methods.
MmmHmm Coffee offers both speedy drip and slow brews in addition to a wide variety of espresso drinks. If great coffee isn’t enough and you need to satisfy your hunger pangs then you can pick up a fresh biscuit with fixins from Morsel. And if tea is your thing, the house-brewed unfiltered Chai made with fresh ginger cannot be missed. Get some!
