Fremont Coffee Company, Seattle

At Fremont Coffee Company, the baristas emphasize the beauty of the community coffee shop—one where customers can spend an entire day. Housed in a historical home, the shop invites guests to approach the bar so they can fill cups with hot or cold coffee and espresso drinks. These drinks are made from beans that have been carefully and—they're not shy to say—obsessively curated by staff before they're roasted in house. Coffee drinkers have multiple rooms to settle into with their cups, all adorned with a revolving display of local art. When the weather is agreeable or if they just want to count snowflakes, customers can take their cups to the wraparound porch and pair them with the cafe's housemade pastries or a glass of wine.
