Grab a book, a friend, a board game or all of the above and head over to Zoka for some late night lounging. One of the few coffee shops open until midnight....often crowded but always a spare seat somewhere. Reminds me of the long-lost Honey Bear Bakery a half a block away (now Tangleton pub) (sigh) but unfortunately the pastries aren't as good as H.B.'s were! Staff is always friendly and lounging for a few hours is never a problem. Sweet caffiene dreams for an insomniac....

I love this local coffeshop....just around the corner from my house. It was started by two ultra-hip, ultra-cute, ultra-spiritual twenty-somethings. The shop received some funding from their church (a non-denominational church which meets at the Tap Root theater next door every Sunday). I believe it was intended to be viewed as a sort of missionary venture, of sorts. Don't let that scare you off, though. While the young ladies running the place aren't shy about their faith, it's not really pushed upon you. However, if you drop in on a Friday night, open mike night will mostly consist of young Christian singles playing the guitar or reading original poetry but the kids are really talented. Overlook the religious theme (if u must) and stay for a cup of good coffee. It's hard to be so jaded as to not appreciate their youthful exuberence and good, happy vibes for at least 30 minutes or so.
I believe the main objective of this place was to create a friendly , neighborhood coffeeshop with a sense of community. Last I heard, the place is still being run as a non-profit (perhaps proceeds going back to their church) but all tips in the tip jar are donated to a local charity each month...such as the Boys and Girls club. All in all... a sweet, little place with a great sense of community involvement and a nice place for even the more non-religious folsk in the 'hood. :) (Oh, and work by local artists, too)...Check it out!

I love this place! I've only been to this Top Pot on 5th Ave. and the one on 35th and the 5th Ave location is my favorite, so far. (The 35th street location is small but has a great patio...might be a good summer option). The space on 5th is beautiful and huge and the donuts are yumliscious....and they serve Ovalatine, too. It doesn't get any cooler than that. My only complaint...no big comfy chairs for extended lingering. BTW, the donuts are so rich and filling that just one will suffice....and they're addicting. Enjoy!

This is the best Thai food in Seattle. I think the prices are appropriate, the portions are excellent and the food is outstanding. Even on a weekend p.m., I've never had to wait more than about ten minutes for a table. The wait staff is always very attentive and friendly, as well. This is my favorite place to take people who have never had Thai food ...non-Seattlelites, of course! :) This place is a winner every time!

What the Acorn lacks in ambience, they make up for in great food. On my most recent visit I had a great, thin-crust, 4 cheese pizza (about 8") and a generous salad of wild greens, goat cheese and balsamic dressing. These were off the happy hour menu and with tax and tip this set me back just $12. The happy hour menu has a nice offering of discounted salads, appies and entrees and h.h. is daily (I think) from 4-6. This is a restaurant I'd likely frequent even with out the specials, but I just wish the place were decorated a little more warmly and were cozier. The food's great enough to be a "date place", but it's sorely lacking in ambience.
