Crema's Take

This Seattle institution perfectly blends nostalgia with convenience, preserving its identity as a beloved newsstand while evolving into a genuinely good coffee destination that baristas will happily help you navigate. The walk-up window makes it ideal for quick caffeine runs to UW, but the real magic happens when you linger among the impossibly curated magazine walls with a hot cup in hand, creating an unexpectedly cozy refuge for both browsers and serious coffee seekers.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.

Popular cafe and newsstand with magazines on seemingly every topic. The coffee and food are good, and the walk-up window is a convenient way to get some caffeine and a pastry on the way to UW or wherever else you're heading. There's indoor tables and a smaller patio area…

Tell me a better combo than rainy weather, a stack of used books, and a hot cup of coffee I’ll wait! I stopped by this café after picking up some books and decided to skim through a few while enjoying a hot Americano. The cashier was kind, service was smooth, and the coffee was…
