Oh, funny! I just went to Coava for the first time this week and took the exact same picture of my cup of coffee (I had a cappuccino made with the Rophi espresso). 🙂 Delicious! And the bamboo is gorgeous. A very Portland place.

Nurit – So glad you liked it! It’s amazing. In Seattle I like Herkimer, Stumptown (Portland based), and Vivace. Nothing quite like Coava though. 🙂

Ashley, Coava was SO awesome! The best coffee ever! So glad I read about it here just in time before our trip. Or do I… I’m hooked. An adict. Want to move to Portland 🙂
What would you say is the best place for coffee in Seattle?

I love this post so much! There’s a place here in LA called Coffee Commissary (my favorite LA coffee shop by far!) and they serve Coava Coffee. I get their Ethiopia coffee every morning–so amazing!

Patricia – Thanks so much for commenting. I’m so glad you went (x3) :). Isn’t it amazing.
I didn’t meet the owner but my husband has talked with him. I love businesses that are built on such immense passion.

Ashley, thanks for these coffee posts. Because of you, I enjoyed three delightful visits to Coava this past weekend. I would leave Seattle for Coava. (Well, not really, but I’d seriously think about it). We fell in love with the first cup, felt caffeine deprived 3 hours later, had another cup, and then went back the next day.

In case you didn’t get a chance to talk to Matt, the owner, it’s just him and one other guy doing most of the work. He’s even growing coffee plants in his basement to learn more about what makes a good bean. A Chemex and Kone filter are high on my to-purchase list now.

you do an outstanding job telling a story with your pictures! i am not a big fan of coffee, but why is it that so many people like coffee? i mean is it one of those things like “meal shares” where you meet with people while catching about each other and enjoying some good food? or is it more a habit and a culture thing?

Nice pics. I liked the last one the best – the one with the coffee in the cup. When I looked closely I saw the shape of a heart in it.

Nurit – Clyde Common, Pine State Biscuits, ClarkLewis, Meat, Cheese, Bread – little hole in the wall sandwich shop, Per Que No – hole in the wall Mexican
I don’t know many kid friendly restaurants although Pine State, MCB and Per que no are so low key kids are definitely welcome.
Have a great trip!
