Seattle: Coffee houses
Allegro 4214 University Way tel 206/633-3030. One of the better spots to taste local brews around the University, where the other prime draws are internet access via three computer terminals (customers only) and watching the quasi-bohemian clientele strike intellectual poses.Bauhaus Books & Coffee 301 E Pine St tel 206/625-1600. A Capitol Hill hangout for the dressed-in-black crowd with large tables, an artsy used-book section - focusing on art and architecture volumes - and good coffee.
Online Coffee Company 1720 E Olive Way tel 206/328-3731. Check your email here on Capitol Hill - large black monitors and stylish wooden desks set the tone for serious surfing. First 30 minutes free with a coffee purchase - otherwise $6 per hour.
Speakeasy Café 2304 2nd Ave tel 206/728-9770. A favorite Belltown hangout that offers more than just coffee (or tea, beer, salads and desserts), with a wide range of poetry readings, live music and movies.
Still Life in Fremont Coffeehouse 709 N 35th tel 206/547-9850. As expected in Seattle, the coffee is excellent; plus Still Life serves up great baked goods, hearty fritatta breakfasts, and lunch specials like corn tortilla pies.
Torrefazione Italia 320 Occidental Ave tel 206/624-5847. Excellent roast coffees and outdoor seating are the main draws at this Pioneer Square java house, part of one of the better regional chains.
