Directions

Lighthouse is a beloved independent roaster with a bright, airy Ballard location that feels genuinely neighborhood-rooted rather than trendy. Their espresso program is precise and their seasonal filter coffees are worth exploring. It can get busy on weekend mornings when the brunch crowd spills over from nearby restaurants.
