Neighbourhood: Downtown
I poked in during a drizzly lunch time and it was quiet, until some visitors from Sakatchewan, Canada came. Pleasant and warm atmosphere. I wonder if the sandwich bread can be toasted or warmed? It's pretty tough. The shop and the restrooms aren't…More »

2. Deo Valente Cafe
Soup of the Day: Very good and comes with a few slices of bruschetta(?) bread.
Bruschetta Sampler: 4 choices. I got the sweet onion, asparagus, peperonata and basil pesto. Delicious! Beautiful plating + a slivered strawberry and balsamic…More »

3. Ellen's Coffee Company - CLOSED
The seasonal pumpkin spice biscotti is back! Mmm. Always nice walking into the giant atrium this place resides in. You can access it via the stairs/elevator from the 3rd Ave lobby or from the stairs off University St to the north.

4. Lama G's Cafe
What a wonderful, cozy & small cafe! We popped in to order and sat in the back patio as they'll bring you your orders. While I'm waiting, I'm taking in the surrounding environment: weathered, slightly grassy brick pavers, small tomato (and such?)…More »
5. Dur Dur Cafe
Seattle, WA 98122

It's one of those things where you can't really explain it... or, I, at least have difficulty doing as... Walking up to it and glancing nearby, you'd think what's so fab about this area? A simple purple overhang with Dur Dur Cafe and plain windows…More »
6. Cowgirls Espresso
Right across from Gene Coulon Park, this shack don't disappoint. No shame in admitting a hot lady served me a great soy vanilla (or spiced) chai! The website has plenty of pics, btw.

Part 2 of my late night munchies craving - with no certainty of finishing both meals, BUT, alas, the spontaneous night continues.
Like Dahlak, they play some pretty jammin' cool music at night. The lady helping me was fast, yet friendly at the same…More »
9. Burien Press
Awesome chai latte. Unique space, artsy, cool, laidback, relaxed & chill. The strong, light-finished wood surrounding the walls and deck is really nice. Funky, retro furniture can be found.
Cool. Retro. Funky. Reads.

Cool Coffee Chai spot off the beaten Rainier path. Currently in 'hood discovery mode so I swung by here last night for some munchies and shtuff. Neat, subtle decor with futbol banners. A few non-threatening dings to the 5-stars are:

So it happened since I just missed the 107 and didn't mind another nice walk down here.
The gal was very nice & seemed very sweet. i decided for some light fare, which is in the pic (which was very good, by the way). I told her that goat cheese dish…More »

They just recently added a 3rd size: 16 oz grande! For chai to chug in one sitting!

Coool. Hm, I find it not surprising it's cramped onto a corner. Parking is limited but rather plentiful---if you're willing to walk a fraction of a mile (I walked from WSB). Typical West Seattle. ;) The place is really charming with it's deep colors…More »
29. Joelle's Espresso Cafe
**Back in business!** O to Go is long gone.
I think they just reopened this morning. I got my grande chai and tried a H&C croissant. Yum. The froth on the chai was thicker than i've had before elsewhere (except maybe Vita). It was really good.
Awesome.More »

It's nice. It's spacious. They make nice soy chais and their samosas are decent. It's not their work, but it was cool viewing the cup art on the columns. And the lighting at night is mood-setting. It's also across the street from Waves Coffee.

I'm anti-fixed-lamp-on-the-table after this place. Unplugging it helped that. :p Me, Yong, and Elle strolled into here after a post-breakfast-walk from SHN nearby. A chai tea with soy and rice turned out to be good.
38. Big Foot Java
Neat little structure where Rose makes a good [Oregon?] chai and I believe had local biscotti (BeBop?). It's not bad late at night.
