Just one week left for the Jamba Juice location on Queen Anne. We loved them when we first learned about them, but it seems like a long time since we've partaken in their protein powders and Peach Pleasures. more ›

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs. more ›

Yeah, yeah, yeah… we’ve bawled a bunch about the blahness of Queen Anne cuisine, from the "exotic" Chinoise at the top of the hill to the "exotic" Racha at the bottom of the hill. So we lowered our expectations a bit to try some good ol' American food at Floyd's Place, which reviewers consistently Yelped as, well, "decent." more ›

We step out of the dank cold and into All City Coffee in Georgetown. Two of the four walls are huge, storefront windows and the interior is white, enabling All City Coffee to transcend the dreary gray and uplift the spirits with light. As light as the flies that buzz over the eclectic furniture ranging from shabby chic to modern. A motorcycle chick chats with a dad as his kid turns somersaults on the sofa... more ›

It's run by an actual French expatriate, Marc -- who recognized us when we stopped in last week despite our three-year absence, and came over to see how our life up north was going. Oddly, no matter how irregularly we stop in, it always seems like one of the baristas has just gotten back from Seattle. (This time one had just returned via Amtrak, a 28-hour trip thanks to one of Amtrak's we-don't-own-our-tracks "delays.") more ›

Lottie's Lounge, located in Colombia City, is a coffee shop, diner and bar, rolled into one. It's an experiential panacea for those who like to center their lives around one neighborhood joint-- not that Colombia City doesn't already have a lot going on. Lottie's is smack dab in the middle of a re-gentrifying neighborhood, filled with junk stores, boutiques, dive bars and...Starbucks. more ›

When we found that Gorditos was getting out of the lukewarm kitchen that is Queen Anne hill’s restaurant business, we started keeping tabs, via a biweekly stroll, on the eateries closing (and, less frequently, opening) in the neighborhood. That wasn’t often enough. more ›

Some may call it the Rainy City, the Emerald City, or the Jet City, but around here, we call it like we see it: Seattle is the Coffee Capitol. To say that Seattlites love their lattes is a gross understatement. Without coffee, it’s unlikely that much would happen in this rainy, emerald city, and there would undoubtedly be fewer jets. But while much has been said of our noble brew, less has been noted of its companions, the muffins, scones, donuts, buns, bagels, breads, and biscotti that accompany it down the gullet. Next to every great cup of coffee belongs a great pastry, and Seattlest aims to deliver. more ›
