Fun and Unique Coffee Tour!
Zach was such a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide! My sister and I had a great time learning about the origins of coffee, how it’s made, and trying a variety of different coffees along the way. My favorite was the mystery mocha at Ghost Alley Espresso! 👻 ☕️ If you love coffee, I definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing coffee experience for anyone who loves coffee
Zach was wonderful. He was kind, friendly, considerate, knowledge, and overall an amazing tour guide. I wanted to have my friend, who is a coffee aficionado, try this and he walked away learning a lot. We got a chance to taste coffee and pastries in places we never would’ve hint to check out. Zach was very organized, methodical, and deliberate with his tour. I honestly can’t believe why his tour isn’t more popular. From his knowledge, passion and overall experience, everyone who enjoys drinking coffee would enjoy this tour. I would gladly recommend anyone try this tour. You will walk out learning something new and enjoying amazing coffee.

Amazing!
Zach was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! Throughout the coffee tour he provided us with detailed lessons on coffee; the roasting and harvesting process, the origins of coffee, and the types of coffee made available. We were also given a lesson on fair trade coffee and how to look for it when we shop. Zach also provided mini history lessons for a few locations we visited like the original Starbucks, Gum Wall, and Ghost Alley. We had four cups of coffee, tasted a cinnamon roll, and got a bean sample— all included in our tour! I will definitely be back, it’s a great experience for coffee lovers, tourists, and locals.

Great Coffee and Walking Tour
Zach was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. The tour had a good structure that was neither too long or too short. We got some great samples for our money, and got to learn more about the Pike place market as a whole, which felt like a bonus. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes coffee, wants to see the sites, and wants to get some steps in.
