Praise allah that we now have a qualified alternative to the evil green machine (not that there aren't some fine local roasteries and all) - but peet's is the gear - great flavor and complexity, and not evil to boot. If you drink coffee and want to be on the side of truth and justice, get it here.

I am surprised by the size of the store front. Plenty of seating. Lots of room and in the summer, they open up the windows so it's kind of like indoor patio. Very nice to be sipping coffee and watching people walk by. Free wifi. They take Visa/Master, even though they don't advertise it at the door.

I used to work in the neighborhood and my routine was to get off the bus and head to Pegasus. Although I like Uptown Espresso a tiny bit more Pegasus is very very good. They make a great silky, creamy latte and offer up good service and conversation as well.

This place is especially great when the owner is working. He's super-attentive, sweet, and easy on the eyes. Alas - he's spoken for!

If they had been these muffin bottoms, the homeless would not have gotten mad at Elaine in that Seinfeld episode. I just luuuuv their chocolate muffins. Their muffins are good top to bottom - no need to fight for the top! The slightly melted soft chocolate chips and the not-too-sweet, buttery, fluffy, not-too-heavy but dense enough batter makes me wish for another nice day on which I can walk to The Coffee Crew. Their cranberry walnut scones and marionberry muffins are good, too, but like Andy says, the chocolate muffins are the standout. It's definitely a comfort food - it's the kind of muffin you would like to bake at home but you let them because they can do it more perfectly. (I almost don't want to tell people to increase the competition, but I love the people there I want them to do good business.) To balance your palate, though, if you have two people I recommend getting one chocolate chip muffin and one marionberry muffin. It makes the experience all that much more richer, like how a chocolate cake is better with a tangy raspberry sauce.
The folks (and it seems fitting to call them "folks") there are so nice, too. The coffee drinks are also solid. It's one of those little neighborhood coffee shops where you want to stop and read newspapers with every chance you get.
Caution: they close at something like 2:00 PM (closed on Sundays), so go there early.

I love this place. I love that there's another option besides Starbucks and Tullys in the U District. Gary, the proprietor, knows all of his regulars by name, and makes a damn fine vanilla latte.

well folks, we're very fortunate indeed to have Fonte Coffee Roasters (http://www.fontecoffee.com/) here in Seattle. Just try their "Bin 16" bean and it'll all be over. Yes it's a little expensive at $17/lb (but nothing like some of the ridiculously priced stuff at Victrola)........it truly is an unbeliveable roast.
and if you can, order it and go pick it up at their office/roastery down in SODO for 'uber' freshness.............
sooner or later i'm going to give their "Kona" a try but it's always out......that is going to be a treat.
please don't abuse Fonte and hog all the "Bin 16" damnit!!!! remember where you got your info and leave at least a little more me. Please?
you now owe me one.
BEVIAMO!
