The Best Restaurant in Seattle Center and Lower Queen Anne, Seattle

One of Seattle’s top coffee roasters also runs this sleek, modern café just a few blocks from the Space Needle. The fifth-generation Costa Rican coffee farmer behind Fulcrum leads its adventurous sourcing, drawing beans not just from the usual regions but also from unexpected places like China, Myanmar, and Laos. Baristas here craft everything from classic espresso drinks to meticulous pourovers using single-origin beans, and the same care extends to the curated list of teas, beers, wines, and ciders. Breakfast and all-day sandwiches come on biscuits and breads from local bakers, alongside pastries and empanadas displayed temptingly in the glass case at the bar.
