After some amazing travels, I have relocated back to Seattle - the coffee capital of the US. I think its a good idea to work as a professional barista and really see if this will work for me....
The coffee scene is general has changed a bit since I was in the US. It was very much a get your caffeine-and-go kind of a place; in the biggest cup and most extra's as possible. Now it feels more destination and experience based...not just about getting "more" which is the typical american way, right.
There are a lot more cute cafes and coffee shops that have blossomed around Seattle and even more so in my hood - Capital Hill.
Since I havent worked in a year I am low on the cashflow and what I do have Im spending on trying latte's all over the city. Fuelled on too much caffeine, I have made my rounds in this city, found some good spots, applied at the ones I like and now I'm just waiting for the Universe to deliver.
Lets see the lay of the land here - everyone knows Vivace, Vitta, Stumptown, Victrola, Uptown Expresso. People are starting/should to know Seattle Coffee Works, Kaladi, Analog, and Bauhaus is a cool stop... Top Pot is cozy, coffee is just ok, get service.
This city is a bit too cool for school sometimes, the extreme rocker creative type seems to flood the coffee scene....
