Seattle Coffee

We'll be moving soon and I must say, our visits to Seattle are what we'll miss most about the area. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. The coffee is amazing, but it's the people and ambience that really make this shop shine! It would be cool to see more vegan eats, but we also recognize that you have to cater to your market!

This newly opened Seattle Coffee at Howard Centre is cozy and inviting with friendly staff and ample seating. Although smaller, they still have their usual menu offering of divine hot and cold drinks as well as a variety of sweet and savoury eats. If I could give it more stars I would. You can go there to work or unwind as the vibe is relaxing and conducive for either. They'll also be stocking ice-cream from The Creamery soon, giving you another reason to visit.
