Grumpy Bean

if you've got a laptop bag on one shoulder and a deadline that's already slipping, stewart street has seen worse mornings than yours. grumpy bean sits at 910 stewart st in a part of seattle that runs on foot traffic and caffeine, close enough to the convention center corridor that it pulls in people with places to be. regulars here clearly mean it, the kind of loyalty that builds slowly and doesn't transfer easily to somewhere with a logo on every corner. you won't find that crowd lining up for novelty. the cortado is a good anchor if you're undecided, something small and direct for a tuesday that hasn't found its shape yet.
