Milstead & Co.

The highly talked about, and sometimes deemed snobbish Milstead & Co. is by far one of the best places in Seattle to get a craft coffee. The coffee at this coffee bar is incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A favorite drink among locals is the Theo Mocha, which is not only full of flavor, but it is also quite delectable. Milstead & Co. is on 34th Street and opens daily.

Espresso To Go

Espresso To Go, better known as ETG Coffee is a shop where you literally grab your coffee and go. There is only one table in this place, so you can't sit down to enjoy their incredibly delicious pastries. Instead, you will take your latte or espresso and head out into the Fremont area and explore the vintage atmosphere.

Espresso Vivace Roasteria

If you are looking for a place that starts trends instead of following them, visit Espresso Vivace Roasteria in the Capital Hill Area. This cool coffee shop was making patterns with the foam on your coffee drinks before that was even a thing. Plus the coffee is of superb quality, and locals rave that you will find the best espresso here.

Caffe Ladro

Starbucks started out as a small little place in Seattle where you could get a great cup of coffee and now look at it. Well, Caffe Ladro is on its way to being the next Starbucks. This small shop that serves excellent coffee in a relaxing atmosphere, has expanded and now has 15 cafes that you can visit. Although every place now open is in the state of Washington, it won't be long before you see Caffe Ladros in other states.

Street Bean Espresso

Street Bean Espresso makes this list for a couple of reasons: one, they have outstanding coffee, and two, they put people to work that many other businesses won't. Believing in supporting their community, Street Bean Espresso has started a program in which they will train the youth that lives on the street and help them get into jobs. For every bag of coffee purchased from this cafe, one hour of youth training is provided. This says a lot about the ownership and makes this cafe worth visiting. As you can see, it was tough to narrow down this list, but these four places offer something that the others don't. However, most of the coffee in Seattle is outstanding, as it is hard to find a bad cup -- so get out there and enjoy some morning brew.   Image via Pixabay | CC 0

The 3 Best 5-Star Restaurants in Seattle

Art of the Table Perhaps the best part about Art of the Table is that its menu changes daily to incorporate the freshest ingredients the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Because of this, there is no set menu, so every time you visit, it is a totally different experience. For each course, head chef and owner Dustin Ronspies brings out the dish, explains it, and answers any questions you have about it. It is that added intimacy that gives this restaurant its own identity. If you don't want to invest the beaucoup bucks needed to try each course, then you can choose from the a la carte option that Art of the Table offers on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Before you get a reservation or enter the restaurant, make sure you read the restaurant's philosophy/rules to ensure that you'll have the best possible time without ridicule from the owner. more Daniel's Broiler Don't let the lack of a fancy name scare you. This place is legit. Much like many other five-star restaurants, its menu changes regularly. For example, this month has only five dinner entrees, which is a blessing, as you won't have to pore over 100 menu items to make a selection. Some of the featured dinners of Daniel's Broiler include fresh scallops, salmon, sea bass, ribeye, and even its world-famous bone-in filet mignon, which will only set you back about $120. There are four locations throughout the Seattle area, so it's easy to find one closest to you. Restaurant Marron When you walk into Restaurant Marron, the decor speaks of a restaurant that is middle of the road, casual American dining. Once you see the menu, that opinion changes immediately. Serving up some of the best New American food infused with traditional French cooking, Restaurant Marron excels in delighting your taste buds, while also having enough creativity to keep the most uppity foodie satisfied. Choose a three-course meal or the carte blanche experience to sample an appetizer, cheese or dessert, and an entree. Pair it with one of the restaurant's wines from all over the world for the truly French experience. Depending on your tastes and budget, Seattle is the perfect food town, especially if you love fresh, local ingredients and seafood that's straight out of the Pacific Ocean. The best part about these restaurants is that they not only have amazing food, but they also bring out an atmosphere that makes the dining experience truly unique. So forks and wine glasses up, it's time to indulge.   Image via Pixabay | CC 0
