Coffee and baked goods have always gone together, like rock 'n' roll, yin and yang, and bald-eagle hatchlings and William Howard Taft's toupee. Introduce your mouth to a dazzling duet with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of cafe fare and specialty coffee drinks at Emerald City Cafe.

For 15 years, Emerald City Cafe's foodsmiths have baked and brewed a menu's worth of Seattle-style breakfasts, sandwiches, and coffees. Rev biological engines with the stuffed french toast, orange-and-cinnamon battered texas toast loaded with grilled apple-chicken sausage and sweetened with apple-cinnamon cream cheese and whispered flattery ($8.95). Choose from eight bread bases to withstand the weight of substantial sandwiches, such as the Mount Rainier, which dresses mesquite smoked turkey with homemade herb cream cheese and cranberry sauce ($9.95), or jab forks into a cheesecake-style quiche with either ham and cheddar or vegetables ($8.95). Seattle-style coffee and homemade scones turn snacking into a sport for the incisors, and customers can purchase the cafe's homemade dough to bake at home and set an example for what their own cooking projects could be if only they applied themselves.
