I often take the early morning Amtrak to Portland and this is my favorite place to kill half and hour before departure.
I love the Zeitgeist asthetic - they have the whole retro travel / art deco / exposed brick loft style thing going. It's the perfect place to set the mood for a train journey.
There is art for sale on the wall, a selection of newspapers, and big picture windows to watch the mixed SODO / Pioneer Square crowd wander by.
