Capitol Hill - A Seattle Neighborhood
See All Lists
1. Espresso Vivace Roasteria Cafe - CLOSED
WARNING: There is no longer wi-fi on the weekends until after 6:00. Grrrrr.....
Dappled sunlight people! Seriously, what is better than school chairs, dappled sunlight, good music, and fanfuckingtastic coffee? Nothing, nothing at all.
Hands down my…More »
2. Remedy Teas
Seattle, WA 98112

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Sometimes I cheat, sometimes I use the thesaurus to kick-start my brain into using words that are stuck under layers and layers of pop-culture trivia. So, when I was trying to figure out how to illustrate my affection for Remedy Teas I knew I…More »

Creperies,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
"If you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away."
Because these tears of joy are from burning my fingers trying to get my freshly made hot crepe out of the wax paper and I will probably have nutella smeared all over…More »
4. Grey Gallery & Lounge - CLOSED
Seattle, WA 98122

Categories:
Lounges,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Multi-tasking is one of my favorite talents (right after my awesome yo-yo skills, but definitely before parallel parking) and that's why I totally love Grey Gallery.
Want to look at art, grab a cocktail at a Capitol Hill bar, and run into a bunch of…More »

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

There is this girl...who looks like me...who is at Crazyberry like 3 times a day! Yes, it's very strange, so if you see some girl that looks like me in there don't come up and say, "Hi Michelle B!" because I...I mean she...will look at you like she…More »

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
OMG! It's in a condo!
OMG! There are yuppies!
OMG! Some other BS that has nothing to do with anything.
When you get right down to it - this place has it all. A small, but thoughtful selection of wines by the glass, a larger selection of wines by the…More »

I'm about as giddy as I was in 5th grade when it was announced that the name of our Camp Fire group was The Rainbow Unicorns! Wheeeee......
The interior of this place is absolutely fantastical. Looking at one wall makes me want to smile, looking at…More »
8. Snowmonkey's House of Monsters - CLOSED
I want to dash in here, plunk down my credit card, scoop up all the merchandise and run away screaming, "It's mine!!! It's all mine!!! You can't have any of it!!!"
A place called Snowmonkey's House of Monsters is bound to do that to the best of us,…More »
9. Espresso Vivace Sidewalk Bar
When I take a cab home from the airport I have them drop me off here.
No, I do not want to go directly to my house - I need to get a fix - immediately.
They just don't make coffee this good anywhere else on earth. It tastes like roasted marshmallows…More »

Katie S is right - you should totally look up and gaze at the beautiful light fixtures. They are quite amazing...and then, when you're not looking, I can steal your ice cream!!!!
Nah, I won't steal anyone's ice cream but I seriously can't believe that…More »
11. Ristorante Machiavelli
Must stay awake to write review. Must not disturb happy full belly while writing review. Must perch laptop in position where I can reach keys so I can lay on couch to write review. Can you tell I've had pasta?
Oh, but not just any pasta. Pasta from…More »
12. Bauhaus Books & Coffee
You know how every show/movie that is supposed to take place in Seattle has the main characters hanging out at a coffee shop so often that they would die of caffeine overload if that were really the case? I suppose they do this to really drive home…More »
13. Baguette Box
Do you believe a good sandwich starts with good bread? Like a good flakey-on-the-outside-soft-on- the-inside baguette?
No? Well then go to Subway.
Yes? Baguette Box has true Sandwich Artists!
My favorite is the Lemon Grass Skirt Steak Sandwich, but a…More »

Splitting a bottle of wine over some of the best Macaroni & Cheese in Seattle is a dream dinner to a girl like me. Add in low lighting, secluded booths, and good music (ok, the music they had sucked, but I wanted it to be good) and you have yourself…More »

Category:
Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Yeah, yeah, the space is a little cramped, the HVAC probably doesn't exist, and the logistics of any given event/show are always a nightmare.
But! Where else are you going to go to see such gems as, The Salon of Shame, Ignite Seattle, Laffhole, and…More »

Categories:
Restaurants,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
I never know exactly what I'm eating here. I just let the person behind the counter grab whatever is closest to the oven and I'm off in baked Russian bliss!
That's not to say I don't spend a lot of time drooling over all of the different offerings.…More »

Furniture Stores,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
I am no longer allowed to go in here.
Since I'm not able to resist buying throw pillows, platters, and area rugs I have had to put myself on a home decor sobriety diet and it is just too tempting to set foot in Retrofit Home...yes, I am weak.

18. Frites - CLOSED
These are the french fries that they serve in Heaven. I heard that Frites has an exclusive contract with the main Man himself and that his favorite dipping sauce is tartar too. You could get something else, you can always repent later.
We truly do…More »
19. Seattle Public Library - Capitol Hill Branch
Want to know where all the library books are hiding?
They're at the branch libraries waiting to be picked up by high-tech library patrons who reserve them online. That's right, you just go online, tell them what you want, and they'll ship it over to…More »
20. Cal Anderson Park
The world's happiest bee lives here!
Go to the playground and check out the cheery plastic bee that is mounted to a spring and just try not to smile :)
It's a great park smack in the middle of an urban area. Do we have better parks in the area? Of…More »
21. Foxmaid
Do you need a stuffed (like taximdermied!) black squirrel, an electric choo choo train, and a starfish covered in gold???
Well, you're in luck, because there is finally a store where you can get these things under one roof.
Obviously, this store isn't…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
If you know kung-fu do not be shy about using those skills to secure a table at Joe Bar. This place is packed and for good reason. The atmosphere is inviting, the coffee is good, crepes are the main focus of the menu, and they know the right way to…More »
24. Fuel
I must agree with Kimberley D that the music selection at Fuel is second to none. There has to be some correlation between people who can make good coffee and people who have great taste in music, because the baristas here have both nailed.

I have a secret, and no I won't tell you what it is because I could get fired if my boss found out that I really don't drink that much...oh, oops, damn.
But just because I don't want to drink all the time doesn't mean that I want to become a…More »
26. Taco Gringos
Dios Mios! Are we really this starved for tacos up on the hill?
This place isn't cheap. $2 for a teeny tiny taco that has an ounce of meat and only one of the two tortillas you are supposed to get? I'm small, and I'm generally willing to shell out a…More »

Categories:
Middle Eastern,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
I've always stayed away from Pita Pit for a few reasons. The obvious being the standard rule of not eating anywhere with the words "pit, hole, mold and/or angry verbs" in the name, the not so obvious is because I can't eat garlic. Yes, it's sad.

28. In The Bowl Vegetarian Noodle Bistro
Wow! I've been eating this string bean dish on a semi-regular basis for the past two and a half years. Time flies when you are chowing down on tasty tasty tofu.

29. The New Release - Movie Kiosk - CLOSED
In the spirit of full disclosure: I have an unnatural affinity for kiosks.
But seriously, who wouldn't like a video store that is open 24 hours a day and only charges $1 a day for all the videos in the store. Even new releases! Sorry they don't have…More »
30. Piecora's Original New York Pizza
Damn these are some big pies!
When I was struggling to fit the huge box into my car I was reminded of the many times I have fought to fit a flat packed box of Ikea furniture in my car. This should have been foreshadowing to the quality of pizza I was…More »

Categories:
American (New),

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Talk about some sibling rivalry! These folks have two kids and name a restaurant after each one of them, cute, huh? But, what happens if one of them starts to flop? Then what?
I would mercilessly tease my sister if "Megan's" flopped and/or if…More »
33. Hot Mama's Pizza
This would be the best food in the world if I was drunk and if I didn't know what institutional dried oregano tasted like. Unfortunately I was sobering up when we popped in here for a quick slice of pizza.
The crust was nice and crispy but lacked any…More »
34. Bill's Off Broadway
Tonight, I wasn't feeling well, and I had to stay home while everyone else went out and played in the sun. Boo hoo.

Ha ha ha ha - it's called Honey Hole - Ha ha ha ha
Ok, now that I've gotten that out of the way I can say that Honey Hole is one of those places that personify Capitol Hill - pretty cool, dark and moody, quirky but a little dated, great taste in…More »

You've got a couch, you've got a chair, and you've got a coffee table. What more do you need comrade?
Teeny tiny little coffee shop, I think the outdoor seating at Vivace might be more plentiful. Nonetheless a cozy place to while away part of a sunny…More »
38. Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Pre.Cis.Ion. Is what's being pulled at Stumptown up on 12th.
These folks are not messing around when it comes to coffee. The attention to detail here is intense to the point manic. When my latte foam was pulled a bit short the guy wanted to do the…More »

Clandestine drinks are the best idea for this tucked away Haitian restaurant. Food is not.

Now, you just hold up there a minute buddy!

Who do you think you are opening up two stores, mere blocks away from one another, *at the same time* up on Capitol Hill?
Honestly, I'm more perplexed than anything else.…More »
