We Are a Third Space to find
Community & Connection in Ballard
(with coffee!)

Assembly is a cozy gathering place and a collaborative space for community to meet, featuring a coffee bar, an art gallery and event pop-ups. We recently re-opened under new ownership — former customers of Assembly who are happy to honor the original vision of the shop as a third space for the fine people of Ballard to build together.

A vision years in the making, Assembly was started by Molly Hawkins from as an extension of Seattle based creative and marketing agency We Are Unicorns. We continue to strive toward the goal to bring connection and community into a physical space through carefully curated selections of beans from the finest coffee roasters, teas from Smith Tea, exhibitions and workshops with artists, creators and community members.

• Coffee

  • At the heart of community is coffee and we are excited to have Olympia Coffee Roasters as our house roasting partner for all of our espresso drinks.

• Tea

  • Our teas include a fine selection of teas from Smith Tea, including their seasonal blends and boxes you can take home.

• Art

  • Since Fall 2021 we have been hosting art events with featured artists rotating frequently.

• Retail

  • We host “pop-up” events, so stay tuned for our next retail pop-ups!
