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.

New coffee shop / cafe right next to 24 Hour Fitness

Quoted: Carly C. says "Why is this place not totally crowded for Sunday brunch? Great food and great service! The menu is not too long (oui oui). They took a piece of toast, cut a hole in it, and put a fried egg inside. Kick ass.....On the side…

This Portland coffeeshop company now has two locations in Seattle.

Went to a Capitol Hill location (right next to Rudy's Barbershop on Pine) today. The coffee is maybe even better than Vivace's. It's also a decent place to work. While a little small, there is lots of power.

Quoted: David Schomer, a roaster and self-confessed "espresso-head" whose Espresso Vivace is considered by many to have Seattle's most delicious coffee, says he welcomes the competition.
