Ghost Alley Espresso

Ghost Alley Espresso is a coffee shop located at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, United States.

The current owner Michael Buchwald purchased the business from Mercedes Carrabba, who used the shop as a starting location for ghost tours.

The business is sited on Post Alley in the city's Central Waterfront district, in a space that previously served as a bathroom attendants' room.

[4] Leslie Budewitz's 2013 fiction book Peppermint Barked: A Spice Shop Mystery describes Ghost Alley Espresso as a "hidey-hole carved from a former storage and rest station for Market vendors".

[5] Ghost Alley Espresso serves coffee drinks with an emphasis on unusual flavors such as "salty nut" and turmeric mochas.
