Seattle has become the coffee capital of the world. Home to coffee giants and mom & pop shops alike there is no better place to go to experience coffee of all kinds. We asked Crave fans from all over the city to share with us the places they go to get the Best Cup of Coffee in the city – and the best cup of tea (even in the city of coffee we can’t forget tea). These are places people love to go to meet over coffee, get out of the rain and snuggle up with a good book and a cup of joe or if their just desperately in need for a caffeinated pick me up. With great power comes great responsibility and we simply couldn’t do a Best of Coffee without including all the greats so bear with us as we honor the best!

Have you tried Bluebird in Capitol Hill? They have a great selection of teas and also serve coffee. Free wifi, nice music, sandwiches, soup, and the best homemade ice cream anywhere! Curl up with a good book, play a board game with a friend, or have a meting in their community room. A great addition to Capitol Hill.
I absolutely love espresso elegance. Although they are a bit out of the way, the barista are amazing, the coffee is amazing, and the daily trivia rocks! Oh and they have espresso catering… how awesome is that?!
Ladies night in maybe??? You could totally have a cart in your home!
There is a great new place called Dubsea in Greenbridge.
I do love me some C&P though!
My favorite has always been Caffe Migliore. They make the best lattes ever. Smooth and creamy, and beautifully made. Not to mention the many locally baked goodies they have to nibble on. Delicious!
