The 2020 Guide To Seattle's Coffee Scene
/Seattle, famous for its coffee obsession, offers a shocking number of excellent spots to grab a cuppa. My sister lives in Seattle and during my visits, I carve out plenty of time for coffee-sampling across town. On a recent visit to the Emerald City, I arrived determined to discover only the best-of-the-best in Seattle’s modern coffee scene.
I’m happy to report that I returned to New York on quite the caffeine buzz, and really excited to publish these findings.
Coffee and a Snack
If you’re like me, you head to a coffee shop to experience both coffee and a nibble. More often than not, that equation involves fresh pastry.
Below are my favorite coffee shops in Seattle that serve up both excellent coffee and house-made pastry options, too!
Coyle’s Bakeshop: 8300 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103
Half and Half Doughnut Co.: 516 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122
Sugar Bakery & Coffeehouse: 110 Republican St, Seattle, WA 98109
Caffeinate In Style
Seattle may not be known for a fashion scene (grunge, maybe?) but that does not mean the Seattle coffee shops are not stylish!
Check out the Seattle cafes where you can drink your coffee while appreciating the modern design of the space around you. And because Seattle has more space than most cramped East Coast cities, some of these coffee shops are impressive in their size and comfort!
Fulcrum Café: 590 Bell St, Seattle, WA 98121
Milstead & Co.: 754 N 34th St, Seattle, WA 98103
La Marzocco Cafe: 472 1st Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109
