Quoted: Fed up with its $4 coffee image, the chain will offer a breakfast with coffee for that price.

Yay.

Quoted: A 21-year study finds that moderate coffee drinkers are much less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Interesting.

Quoted: In the same spirit, I propose the Starbucks theory of international economics. The higher the concentration of expensive, nautically themed, faux-Italian-branded Frappuccino joints in a country's financial capital, the more likely the country is to have suffered catastrophic financial losses.

My favorite place to order coffee beans. Thanks @btreloar.

3) Hawaiian Kona - http://portorico.com/store/product219.html

Vivace opened on schedule yesterday. It sounds like they did a good job of recreating the original atmosphere. But, I will miss the view of Cal Andersen Park which has presumably been replaced with views of condos.

Quoted: Hey, it's opening day for Vivace in its new digs at Brix, down at the north end of Broadway. We're sipping on a brand-new americano right now.

Yay, Vivace is reopening.

Quoted: (Via Metblogs) Vivace will finally be opening its doors at their new Capitol Hill location this Friday, 26th. The new store is located on the ground floor of the Brix condo fortress at the north end of Broadway.

Sign up here for free AT&T Wi-Fi @ Starbucks. You need to have a Starbucks card first.

Quoted: Starbucks Card Wi-Fi Offer
Simply buy a card, or if you have a card you've used or reloaded in the past 30 days, you're ready to sign in.

Quoted: Coffee-chain giant Starbucks plans to roll out no-cost AT&T Wi-Fi access at most locations today—to customers who buy a minimum $5 Starbucks Card, register online, and use that card once a month.

Refaving this place. They have plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the Burke-Gilman trail and the canal. On top of that, they offer free wi-fi, serve lunch, and have power outlets outside.

Quoted: Two doors down from my favorite language escuela, Seattle Language Academy (just off the Burke-Gilman in Fremont), is the brand new Canal Street Coffee.
