Coffee

So, yes, I realize that when you think "drink" you're probably thinking alcohol, but no conversation about Seattle is going to be complete without a rundown of its caffeine scene, aka my epic love, my lifesblood, the substance I want included in my eulogy because everything I am, I owe to coffee. But I digress. Seattle's coffee scene is as intense as it's many dark roasts, but if you're going to start somewhere, skip the Starbucks scene and instead check out Cafe Presse, Analog, Victrola, Elm Coffee Roasters, and Caffe Vita (hint, a lot of them are in Capitol Hill). And when you go, ask every barista where else you should check out, because you could spend an eternity wandering Seattle and sampling its caffeinated wonders. I'm stopping now, I'm getting verklempt.
