Five Seattle Coffeeshops Not Named Starbucks

While Starbucks is a great standard in Seattle for a cup of joe, there are some fabulous options for local roasters and cafés that can satisfy even the truest of coffee connoisseurs. If you love a finely roaster bean, make sure you don’t limit your café experiences in the city to just the “original” Starbucks. Some of our top five choices include:

1. Bang Bang Café

Located in Belltown, this café serves delicious Lighthouse Roasters coffee, a Seattle roaster just north of downtown. In addition to great coffee, Bang Bag has a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu with lots of vegetarian and vegan friendly options.

2. Analog Coffee

In addition, right next door is their sister café, B-Side Foods, which serves smalls plates for breakfast and brunch.

3. Vivace Espresso
