Seattle

Zoka - These people are kinda lame. Total coffee snob shit. No smiles for you in this joint... but, hell, the coffee IS awesome.

Victrola - The Victrola is kinda lame too. Lots of hipster punkasses and aging hipster punkasses... but, get this, these fools french press all their drip coffee - it's awesome.

Caffe Vita - This place gets their coffee directly from farms in Latin America. In some way this is really cool because it allows you to buy directly from the farmer... unfortunately, this undercuts the whole certification movement which demands that farms are not free agents and depends on the unity of farmers in cooperatives. This place is cool, regardless. Nice art on the walls.

Fuel - This place is branded way too well. They did a lot of work to try and make their identity "vintage" which feels lame, but what the hell, this town is friggin crawlin with designers.
