Reception

Need I say Moore?"[10] In 2019, Eater Seattle's Gabe Guarente said, "Instagrammable lattes and large breakfast sandwiches are the draw at this cozy spot... The line can get packed right before the workday, so best to scout it out beforehand."[11] The Daily Hive included Moore Coffee in a 2020 list of Seattle's twelve best coffee shops.[12] In 2021, the website's Alyssa Therrien included the business in a list of the city's seven best eateries for matcha drinks,[13] and seven places for pumpkin spice lattes other than Starbucks.[5]
