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.
