Born from the infamous coffeehouse culture of Seattle, this to-go coffee chain draws the crowd with its highly aromatic brews and flavored coffee creations.

In Short
From its humble beginnings as a response to the coffee revolution of the 70's to a brand name acquired by Starbucks and recognized nationwide, Seattle's Best continues to serve high-quality coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. Intoxicating smells of bold blends waft through the simply decorated café, where patrons gather to sip on small tables and comfy armchairs. Flavor-infused brews like Hazelnut Cream, Almond Roca, and Crème Brulee draw passionate coffee aficionados to experience new blends with creative touches, while seasonal specialties, teas and an assortment of breakfast pastries and treats round out the menu.

Fun place to bring your friends

The staff was really friendly and I had the best caramel latte EVER! They also have games available to pass the time, and the free wireless internet access is a big plus.

Amazing coffee, great people!

by CaptainEspresso

Ok, I am a coffee freak, I'll admit, but these people are obsessed with making the perfect cup. The coffee is great, the espresso is mild and smooth and the Javanilla milk shakes are AMAZING. (can you tell I've had them all?) The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is warm and cozy.
