We tried the sandwiches, all delicious. I love the mixture of Cuban flavors in all the dishes. The roasted corn on the cob, a must! Service is great. Customers lined up, says it a great place.
An incredible spot. Everything is great here. The people, the coffee, the vibe. Location & atmosphere are top notch. Swanky but unpretentious. You can bring your kid or a client. All around A+
Very spacious and well designed space combined with obviously good espresso machines and good baristas. At the moment only stumptown beans, I wish they rotated better beans.

Coolest cafe in Seattle. Sensible, passionate staff. Quality coffee. Sick-ass ambience. And a darn right sexy logo, if I do say so myself.
Eclectic beer list...local and national options, with an interesting menu of mostly snacking foods. Draft cocktails also available...wine is expensive though!

Worth a trip for folks visiting from out of town. Tasting room is gorgeous. Doesn't serve the normal Starbucks menu, focused on specialties based on the reserve roasts - a huge plus for me :)
Exceptional service and solid slightly whitewashed Vietnamese food. Good pho on a cold day; don't skip the duck rolls!
the croissants are amazing. i'm addicted to the ham and cheese, but the potato & bacon was yummy too and so filling!
Honestly, every SINGLE one of these is BOMB but if we had to pick the killer pastry it would probably be the macaroons. Seriously, they will crunch and melt in your mouth simultaneously. En savoir plus .

Basic burgers with tip-top toppings and beautiful beef. Should be a classic for years to come.
Spam sliders, a killer view of the city, and a waterfront location. What more could you want? How about boozy shave ice, an expertly selected beer selection, and a full bar.
