Get a coffee card. You get a free drink after you buy 10 coffees. For me, that works out to about 1 free Americano every week.
Is there any better combination to do with an out-of-town guest then a stop at Golden Gardens followed by coffee here? It's a true Seattle experience most tourists will never get to have.
Perhaps the best Americano in downtown Seattle. This place gets busy in the morning, but they do a good job of getting people their coffee pretty quickly.
The upstairs area is practically academic and the best place on Capitol Hill to get work done. Just save me a table, please.
They are open late (11pm) and have a separate room for quiet working or meetings. My choices here are either a creamy White Velvet or a Cafe Nico. Both are wonderful!
Sure they have gelato, but they also serve up delicious Caffe Umbria espresso as well. Plus the co-owner used to live in the same town in Italy that I lived in.
It was only a matter of time before someone in this thirsty town united the boutique coffee roaster with the fine wine bar—and at Fonté, genuinely terrific food is the glue. Read more.
Ever heard of an awesome coffee shop with a great selection of Belgian beers? Well, that's Joe Bar. Plus, crepes to die for. My tip: try all 3, but not at the same time!
Great coffee, people watching and just about a 10 min walk from the hotel!
As of two weeks ago, beers are now sold. All locations will eventually start selling beers too.
Cloud City features True North Coffee, which is one of the best local roasters in Seattle.
Super chill study spot. No loud music, no intimidating silence, and few distracting conversations. They also make coffee.
This French bistro possesses both a legendary roast chicken and an informal charm that makes you want to linger all afternoon with some charcuterie and cheese. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Owmer is really nice and the coffee is awesome! Also, shop next door is pretty fabulous too!
Good coffee and really nice baristas, but beware if you want to work...not many electrical outlets!
Besides excellent coffee, high quality loose-leaf tea (genmai-cha!) and hot food (small pizza, quesadilla) & pastries. Of course the Japanese-style cold-drip coffee is what sets Vita apart.
Two words: Clover machines. But you'll never find a seat. It's like study hall for University of Washington students in here. This studious bunch gets prop for not succumbing to Luau's noon happy hour Read more.
Such extreme locavorism, admittedly, is rare—but many regard farm-to-table dining an essential part of their job. Read more.
Velvety, creamy, smooth, silky, caffeinated yumminess. The soy cafe caramel went down my throat as nicely as someone slipping and sliding on soft satin sheets.
Order a Chemex for 2 and a sandwich to share, and you have yourself a wonderful late lunch date.
Start the morning with an Americano and a chipotle egg bacon cheese breakfast sandwich. Joy!
It's the most come-as-you-are French cafe in town, suffused with a casual dailiness that makes it dangerously easy to become a regular. Read more.
Perfect small size for studying when it is not too busy. Skinny tables. Lots of light through the huge windows. Music is at a reasonable volume.
Customers arrive early for the superb croissants, the pain au chocolate, and the Danish; some return for a slice of just-made quiche in a puff-pastry crust. Jam and chocolate syrup are made on-site. Read more.
Melt-in-your-mouth macarons and deliciously delicate leek-gruyere quiche. The coffee's pretty good, too.
My favorite baguette in Seattle and an absolute bargain at under $2. Get there early though, they usually run out by the afternoon.
The apple Pullman and coconut macaroon are a perfect complement for a cup of coffee.
