(www.greenbeancoffee.org) – Greenwood neighborhood, Seattle, Washington
How I heard of this place: Prior to the previously burnt down section of Greenwood Avenue, a friend introduced me to the family friendly space. Learning about its non-profit nature has intrigued me, and now living in the neighborhood, we have made this one of our go-to cafes.
Type of cuisine: All things coffee, a selection of teas, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and quiche, local and sustainable.
Ambiance: Spacious and light-filled, Green Bean’s open layout is perfect for friendly get-togethers, first dates, and study time!
Big tables allow for work-related meetings, and a train table and other such toys make for perfect mom-dates (or play-dates, if you prefer).
Plus, the simple and whimsical decor make for a comfortable, second (or third?) home for frequenting patrons.
What I ordered: Coffee and catching up with a friend led to one large iced latte (looking more tantalizing in a glass), a Coconut Chocolate Chip Scone and – for me – an Affogat0 ($3).
What I loved: The Affogato! Perfectly sweet vanilla bean ice cream with dark, rich and caramel-ly espresso, ristretto helped this sleep-deprived mama keep up with conversation.
Why I loved it: Vanilla ice cream. Espresso. Nuff said. Yes, I even Snapchatted it!
Cost: Average ($3-$5 per espresso beverage)
