Ladder Coffee Roasters-Downtown - Spokane, Washington

I admit. I chose this coffee shop because of the aesthetic (guilty). I just moved back to the area and have driven by but haven’t stopped in until now. Old dormitory building is owned by one person and they did a fantastic job with renovations. Atmosphere is inviting, serene, vibrant and quaint all in one. They had swing doors - jazz and other music playing over the speakers. Barista said the shop reminded her of Europe and I will have to agree with her. Food and drinks are good. My pistachio matcha and breakfast sandwich had plenty of flavor. I enjoyed my selections. They were better than most coffee shops I have been to. Would come again and order food and drinks. Highly recommend you stop in at least once. If I lived closer this would be in my top 3 frequently visited coffee shops.

Great for studying, meeting friends or colleagues. Plenty of bar seating with the option to charge your devices. They have a handicap accessible ramp in the back of the building btw!

Parking was my only frustration at first but people left shortly after I arrived and I got a parking spot. Parking is limited when it’s busy.

I was not aware that Ladder Coffee has 3 locations. Earlier this morning, I drove past the Monroe Street store when I was returning north. I thought I was calling that particular store only to find out that the Riverside store was only a 1/4 mile from me.
I met one of the most coffee educated baristas when it came to brewed coffee flavors and how it should taste.
I ordered a double shot of espresso, and she politely offered me some sparkling water, so I would be able to appreciate the defined flavors of the coffee, which was really pleasant.
I gave 4 stars due to the extremely limited parking, and the coffee had a hint of the brew water being too hot, or after the last brewing, there was residual coffee in the group head that gave a hint of a burnt flavor.

Ladder Coffee in downtown Spokane is a gem! The hip atmosphere immediately makes you feel welcome, with its modern decor and cozy seating. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready with a smile and a great recommendation. Their coffee is simply delicious, especially the fresh cortado, which has become my go-to order.

Ladder Coffee Roasters started with a vision to bring exceptional coffee to Spokane, and they've certainly succeeded. The passion for quality and community is evident in every cup.

One of the best parts about visiting Ladder is the amazing smells wafting in from the bakery next door. The aroma of fresh sourdough is irresistible. Make sure to grab a baked item while you're there – it’s the perfect complement to your coffee.

Highly recommend stopping by Ladder Coffee for a fantastic coffee experience!

We love checking out local coffee on our travels. Stopped in Ladder for breakfast and our daily oat latte! Staff were very friendly, food was yummy and latte was awesome! Would definitely be a repeat customer

Seated just off Riverside in a quaint stone and brick building is Ladder Coffee. A place you want to keep quiet about because it’s a hidden gem. Its eclectic space is well lit, decorated with plants, and offers high quality coffee and food. A place suited for conversation, hanging out with friends, or enjoying a good book. Service is excellent, so please help keep this place a secret 😉

A great place to work/study. There are plenty of outlets. There is a outdoor balcony which is quite if you need to take some calls. The decor is modern and relaxing. The coffee is top notch. The pastries are also good. The staff is welcoming and friendly

The food was amazingly flavored, the coffees were perfect, and the pastries were too good to keep on the plate! Great atmosphere and style. Very clean.

One of the cutest coffee shops we found in Spokane. So nicely set up, perfect cozy decor, warm and welcoming, and sweet staff! Very friendly lady working today. We had the breakfast sandwich which was LOVE! The cappuccino was divine! Highly recommend!
