“ Came here on a Saturday morning with plans of getting some work done! And this place did not disappoint. Very open and airy space with lots of wide windows! Parking can be difficult since it has a small parking lot for about 4 cars. There is street parking with no meters (so at least no paid parking required). Despite the large place with lots of seating ( window, bar, communal tables, sofa, and single tables), place is popular and seating fills up. Around noon it was pretty crowded. I got a cappuccino and banana bread. Both were good! There's pastries but no sandwiches or meals. Plenty of outlets by window and single/double seating table, not sure about the communal tables. ”
“ The burnt honey latte was fantastic! Vessel is a cool space to work or meet up. I love all the plant life as decor. So glad we stopped here before heading to the airport! ”
“ As promised by other yelpers - excellent. We got a hot chocolate, a latte, and a snickerdoodle cookie. Chill vibe. Great place to grab a bit and drinks to read a book, catch up on work, or meet someone for social time. ”
“ This was a top notch experience. The two menu boards that are right where you order were very clear. The staff were respectful to my possibly uneducated question, very hospitable. The quality of latte and cortado beverages we had were exemplary as was the espresso and service. I know the company and conversation also added to my first experience here. Our visit was on Tuesday 10/30/2018. ”
“ Vessel offers a welcoming environment that's excellent for working or catching up with buddies. The store front is wide and spacious with plenty of seating and natural light, easily a great spot to camp out to get work done. I love the plant decor around the shop which adds to the homey environment. Their menu has all the classics you'd expect - I decided to go with a mocha and my fiance got a shot of espresso. Both of the drinks were quite smooth and enjoyable. The service was good and there's also a small private lot and plenty of street parking available. Overall a solid spot, we'll definitely come back! ”
“ Looking for the best coffee shop in Spokane? Look no further. Vessel has some of the best drip coffee out there. The atmosphere is perfect for retiring work done. I always make sure to bring some coffee beans back to family members who won't live in Spokane and it's a favorite among all the coffee lovers in my family. ”
“ Popped in here just as it opened to have some coffee while waiting for a store nearby to open. Parked on the side street off Monroe. Place is really open inside with an exposed ceiling and a couple of couches, but mostly tables and chairs for seating. Pleasant and fast baristas. Plenty of espresso flavor in my 6 ounce cappuccino but wasn't near warm enough. Perhaps I would suggest telling the barista if you like your drink on the hotter side of warm, as my small drink was cold by the time I was halfway done. Popular merchandise includes their roasted beans, but they also have a few t-shirts. Potentially, you could see the roasting machine doing its thing, but I didn't. Placed on the counter is their menu with season specials, which would be worthy of a return visit. ”
“ This coffee shop may not be in the middle of town, but there is free parking and lots of room inside so it is worth the 5-minute drive from downtown to experience Vessel coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it was excellent. They asked if I wanted it to drink there, I said yes, and they served the perfect 6 fl. oz. concoction in a cappuccino cup. They have a solid coffee menu that will allow you to order what you want. There is enough space to spread out if you are working yet there a number of two-person tables for a more intimate experience. There is a large older map of Spokane County on one wall that would be of interest to someone who has lived in Spokane County for a long time. The barista was very adept at making my coffee. The Apple Pay machine was not working when I was there, but they do accept cash! ”
“ Contemporary lines mixed with rustic atmosphere. Everybody hassling about enjoying their cup of joe. A new place I tried. I got a caramel macchiato with almond milk not too sweet. Loved the nutty flavor. As I look around here everybody's busy working away on their laptops surrounding the fireplace... free Wi-Fi. Cute quaint little place. ”
“ Let me start by admitting that I am a coffee snob. Living in San Diego for a while made me want a place of San Diego quality in Spokane, which I couldn't find ... until now! Vessel has that feel of a modern coffee shop, but the hipster quality of some of the places I have seen in California. The menu is simple, yet customizable. I liked how clean the establishment was and the open area that has plenty of seating for studying or doing business. The coffee roasting is happening in the background while you order, which is cool. Also, the employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. Truly a great addition to Spokane, which has just big box coffee stores or drive-thru stands that I personally don't like. If you are looking for a coffee shop that's modern where you can sit for a while without it being crazy busy, this is the place to go. It also introduced me to a new area of Spokane that I hadn't ventured previously, which is a plus. ”
