The Elliott Bay Book Company

A true gem in Capitol Hill with a coffee shop tucked inside! An independent bookstore to be treasured by all readers and coffee lovers alike. Here you will find many new and interesting books to read & a place to hang to do your work. I had great customer service to find the books that I needed for my kids. Coffee shop offered a delicious flavorful decaf coffee to sip while I did my work. Go today and support local!

Such a beautiful and welcoming bookstore with an amazing selection. It’s really a perfect place to discover new reads or spend a relaxing afternoon browsing. Note: There’s a nice cafe connected to this book store .

I recently just found this book shop, and it has been my go-to since! I love the atmosphere of the shop, it definitely can get overwhelming when looking at all the books. I suggest that you focus on one section of the store and work in increments, there’s also a second floor! They offer you a stamp card; every $10 spend before tax you get a stamp and after 10 stamps, I believe, you get money off of your next purchase. I think that is such a good concept and incentive to reading!! There is a coffee shop connected to the book store, I have never tried it but it looks promising, I’ll have to try it next time I go.

What a wonderful place! Seriously amazing. The vibe, the selection, the building, the employees, the cafe. All of it. All top notch, all wonderful (coffee and cookie were amazing). I was visiting from Portland so it's tough to impress me with a bookstore but Elliot Bay managed to pull it off. Already dreaming of my next visit to Seattle and Elliot Bay Book Company! 📚
