Seattle may be famous for Starbucks, but the real coffee treasure is Storyville.
I stopped in during a trip in May and enjoyed it so much that I ended up ordering beans to have shipped home. Great coffee, friendly people, and one of those places that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and charming, the staff is friendly, and every cup tastes like someone actually cares about coffee. If you're looking for a quaint spot with amazing coffee and a welcoming vibe, Storyville is it. Definitely worth seeking out if you're looking for something beyond the usual chain coffee experience.
