Guidebook for Seattle
Food Scene
My favorite coffee shop nearby is Preserve and Gather at 358 NW 85th St. Their coffee is great and so are their food items. I really like the star anise latte, ham and jam biscuit, and homemade yogurt and granola. Please note that this isn’t the best place to get work done since they don’t have wifi.
