Downtown Seattle has no shortage of Starbucks Coffee, Seattle’s Best, Tully’s, etc etc… so if that’s what you’re looking for, well, they’re around every corner so no problem there.

I’ve got a list of a few local coffee shops in the downtown & belltown area.  None are hard to find – just plug the name into your google maps and you’ll be there in minutes.

Downtown:
Caffe Ladro * 1st & Union, near SAM AND Pine & 8th, in the strange round apartment building near the Paramount Theatre.

Caffe D’arte * 2nd Avenue & Pine – THIS is serious coffee, Italian traditional – the real thing.

Dilettante Coffee * in Westlake Mall, Pine & 4th – sweet mochas… there’s also one at SeaTac Airport

Cafe Campagne * this is the ultimate charming market experience.. quaint, great coffee, great food, cozy and French! Sit at the bar and read the paper, or sit on the patio and people watch. I go in all the time and just order coffee… looks expensive but it’s not! Located in Pike Place Market.

Belltown:
Dahlia Bakery * 4th Avenue & Virginia – hard core bakers working here..

Top Pot Doughnuts * 5th Avenue & Blanchard – right behind the Cinerama…. plenty of seating inside and out… and there’s donuts!

Uptown Espresso * 4th Ave & Wall – there’s one on Lower Queen Anne too.
