Concierge.com's insider take:
Starbucks, Torrefazione Italia Coffee, and Seattle's Best Coffee are among the chains that got their start here, but it's the smaller, funkier spaces that provide a glimpse into the city's renowned java culture. The fashionable Zeitgeist in Pioneer Square has high ceilings, warm wood shelving, and brick walls hung with art. It's always buzzing with beautiful people (171 S. Jackson St.; 206-583-0497; www.zeitgeistcoffee.com). Hand-painted murals and red-and-yellow walls make the Cuba-inspired El Diablo Coffee Company a sunny spot regardless of the weather. Try its robust Cubano, made with custom-roasted coffee beans and sweetened with caramelized sugar (1811 Queen Anne Ave. N.; 206-285-0693; www.eldiablocoffee.com). Capitol Hill has too many good coffeehouses to dare pick a "best" but Victrola Coffee & Art stands out for lovely Art Deco–inspired digs, baristas who never seem to have an off day, and its commitment to hard-to-get specialty brews (411 15th Ave. East; 206-325-6520; www.victrolacoffee.com). On a warm day, while away a few hours in a wicker chair on the wrap-around porch of the Fremont Coffee Company, which embodies all that's still cool about the formerly artsy neighborhood (459 N. 36th St.; 206-362-3633; www.fremontcoffee.net).
