Crema's Take
“Husky Grind roasts its own beans steps away from the café, giving you coffee that's never more than days old—a rarity even among specialty shops. The spacious Mercer Court location draws a steady crowd of regulars who come for the fresh bagel sandwiches and reliable pour-overs, though service can be inconsistent during busy periods. If you're in the U-District and want genuinely local coffee with real roasting credentials, this is worth a visit; just manage expectations on speed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I don't know how many cups of coffee I've had here. They have awesome grinding machine, and food is superb. My favorite is kale caesar salad.
