Fonte Coffee - 8th Avenue

if you've got a laptop and a few hours to fill before whatever's next, 8th avenue in seattle gives you options, but fonte coffee at 1918 8th ave is one that tends to hold people longer than planned. it sits in a part of the city that moves fast during the week, all commuters and tech workers cutting through belltown's edge toward downtown, so having a roaster that actually takes the coffee seriously matters more than it might somewhere quieter. fonte roasts its own, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter, more accountable chain behind it. independent roasters at this scale don't usually cut corners on sourcing and then bother with the rest. come for a morning cortado before the day gets away from you.
