Hello everyone! This is Bekah, the brand-new all-the-time lone blogmaster for SeattleCoffeeSnob. You've likely noticed that nothing has been posted on here since May 2010, and the reason for that is simple: this blog started as a class project, and the class ended.
But now, with the full blessing of the blog's other two co-founders, Maisie and Alex, I would like to reintroduce this blog to the land of the living!
Here are a few notes about the new-and-improved SeattleCoffeeSnob, coming in January:
1.) Unless otherwise noted, from this point forward I will be the only one blogging.
2.) I am, however, open to guest reviews! Just shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do.
Similarly...
3.) If you know of a coffee shop that needs to be reviewed, send me the name and address, so I can hit it up! I know there are thousands of coffee shops in the Seattle area alone--and I'd love to visit them, but can't if I don't know they exist.
4.) This blog will veer away now from solely offering reviews, and will also contain articles on other coffee-related issues or personal coffee exploits--more fun to read, and more fun for me to write!
So that's it for now! Please comment on this and/or vote in the poll above to give me my next marching orders for the new year.
Cheers!
Bekah

Fremont Coffee Company
The Basics:
(206) 632-3633
Where is it?
When are they open?
Monday-Friday: 6 a.m.-9 p.m.
Saturday: 7 a.m.-9 p.m.
Sunday: 7 a.m.-8 p.m.
Is there parking?
Yes! There is quite a bit of street parking conveniently located right in front.
Is there wi-fi?
Yes, and it's free!
What is the price range?
A tall latte comes with two shots of espresso and is $3.00. I tried their 12 oz. Morning Glory chai tea latte for $2.80.
The Experience:
Fremont Coffee Company is a coffeeshop located in the neighborhood of Fremont in Seattle. It offers a fine selection of hand-roasted, single-origin, and estate coffees from around the world. In addition to this, it offers a full homemade menu of specialty sodas, beer, wine, sandwiches, quiche, and desserts. Local visual artists are featered every month. It is also conveniently located for those who attend the Fremont Sunday Market.
The coffeeshop has uniquely been established in the historic La Roche House in Fremont, so the atmosphere of is quite unique. There are several rooms with tables and chairs at which customers may sit and converse or bring work. The atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, which was surprising to me given the time of day and the amount of custom
ers present. Most had brought with them a book to read or a laptop to work or study; very little conversation was heard, but it would be a great place for friends to meet and socialize.

The interior is beautifully decorated with old tables and wood chairs in each of the rooms. The dark earthy red and brown-colored walls appeared tattered and torn which emphasized the old, historic home feel. The granite countertops at the entrance were an odd clash with this more rustic, old times atmosphere, but it still contributed to the neat juxtaposition of an old historic home and a modern, yet rustic, coffeeshop.
I tried their morning glory chai tea latte and was delighted at the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. My friend ordered their latte and was pleasantly surprised at the unique complexity of its taste. The taste of the espresso was milder and not as pronounced as expected, but still it was good quality espresso.

I highly recommend Fremont Coffee Company as a coffeeshop atmosphere experience. It's environment is so unique, and I will certainly revisit it when I am in Fremont for the Sunday Market.

Welcome!
On this blog, you will find reviews of Seattle and other area coffee shops. We are Seattle-dwellers ourselves, but will try to mix it up and report on coffee around the country and the world, according to our experiences. We have tasted the coffee of many continents, and hope to taste more in the future!
We know that, in Seattle, your coffee choices are wide open. Every coffee shop is not created equal; each has a unique personality that may or may not jive with what you want. We hope that our reviews help you find exactly what you're looking for in a coffee shop--whether that's the ideal study spot, or a "third place" to catch up with friends. After all, who has the time to try out new places? At Seattle Coffee Snob, we'll do the leg work for you, so you can have more time for sipping.
To keep it simple, we've compiled a list of what we'll be investigating for you in our reviews. The Basics we'll keep short and to-the-point, but you can expect a few more details in the Experience section.
The Basics:
Where is it?
When are they open?
Is there parking?
Is there wi-fi?
What's the price range?
The Experience:
How's the coffee?
How's the service?
How's the atmosphere?
What is their signature/featured drink?
Is there enough seating?
How comfortable is the seating?
When's the best time to go?
Is it kid friendly?
