Café Allegro, with its decorated walls and wooden tables, is the oldest coffeehouse in Seattle, located in the University District. Since its opening in 1975, it represents a piece of history of the city itself. Coffee masters choose the finest coffee beans in order to offer a unique experience to their local clientele.

Seattle is home to both Starbucks and Tully's Coffee but these two caffeine-driven powerhouses are not alone in café offerings of the city. Many independent cafés are finding their niche with a wide-variety of coffee roasts and specialty pastries and food items. A short walk in most any direction will bring you quickly to a café to enjoy a unique treat and a cup of Joe. True coffee worshipers should visit the very first Starbucks which opened in 1971 in the Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Because the Market is a historic district with design guidelines, the store retains its original look.
