I have opinions about coffee shops the way some people have opinions about football teams. It’s not really about the coffee (though the coffee matters). It’s about whether a place lets you sit for three hours with one drink and a laptop without side-eyeing you, whether the music is doing too much, and whether there’s a window seat worth fighting for.
Current standings, subject to change without notice: one spot in Capitol Hill for the mornings I need to actually focus, one in Ballard for the mornings I don’t, and a third that I’m not going to name because it’s already busy enough.
Full list and neighborhood breakdown coming to the Seattle page. Send me your favorites, I’m always taking submissions.
