Ghost Alley Espresso

Release: 10.23.25

Step inside Ghost Alley Espresso, where bold, dark blends are crafted with impeccable finesse, and every mystery mocha is thoughtfully designed to mirror your mood, or spirit animal.  

In this special Halloween edition 🎃 of Madinah In The Market, we introduce Mike Buchwald, a Seattle native and the visionary, master coffee craftsman behind Ghost Alley Espresso. 

Explore the subtle complexities that distinguish GAE, from expertly tailored blends forged in partnership with Middle Fork Roasters, to handmade syrups concocted from carefully sourced, specialty ingredients. Mike shares how his cozy 140-square-foot shop sustains such distinct flavors, quirky character, and enduring bonds with the Pike Place Market community.

Madinah In The Market originally aired as a radio-first editorial series, produced as recorded field pieces inside Pike Place Market. These archived episodes reflect the program’s foundational approach, created before its transition to a multi-platform show.
