Did you know that the coffeeshop in the TV show "Fraiser" was modeled after the basement-level coffee-shop at Elliott Bay!?
Well it was!
But don't go there for the pseudo-fame. Go there for the literal tons of books that they have.
Go there for the dark, rustic basement coffeeshop.
GO there for the wonderful smell that can only come from a bookstore.
It's in Pioneer Square, so no parking. But who drives in Downtown Seattle? Tourists only. Locals take the bus.
