Herkimer is a small town in New York, but in Seattle it's a great coffee shop. They've got free wifi and a bright atmosphere we love on a Saturday morning. The bigger room off to the right has a super long table for sharing, great for us hooking up with our neighborhood friends, or for meeting new people. Same with the small back counter, or any of the window counter seating. What I really love is how pleasant the staff is. Coffee shops get so busy, and I get that dealing with "the Public" can be tiring, but I've never gotten that vibe at Herkimer which is a refreshing change in Seattle. There is bench seating outside and generally a few dogs lounging about with their owners. Also plenty of room outside for strollers. Check them out, but don't expect chai, they are die-hard coffee folks.
