Description

Seattle Metropolitan says, "Anchorhead creates a space that’s more inclusive than a coffee temple, but more restrained than a full-menu cafe." [2] Along the coffee drinks, [3] the menu has included banana bread, biscuit sandwiches, and the "quaffle" [4] (described by The Infatuation as "part-cinnamon roll, part-croissant, and part-waffle"). [5]

History

Founded by Jake Paulson and Mike Steiner, the business operates four retail coffee bars and a roastery in Duvall, Washington, as of March 2022. [6] In addition to Seattle, [7] [8] Anchorhead has operated in Bellevue [9] and Issaquah, [10] as well as Nashville, Tennessee. [11]

In 2015, Anchorhead won the America's Best Espresso competition at Coffeefest Portland. [12] In 2022, Anchorhead created the Hey Bae (hazelnut ube latte) as part of the Nashville Pride Coffee Crawl. [13] The business also released a holiday blend Red Shield Roast in partnership with The Salvation Army. [14]
