"The cozy new coffee shop Cafe Hagen, specializing in Scandinavian brews and light snacks, such as salmon toasts and pastries, opened recently in SLU. It wants to bring the Danish concept of hygge to the Seattle area — while the word doesn’t have a direct English translation, it refers to the art of finding comfort. That will come in the form of cups of lattes and espressos for now, as well as brunch, beer, and wine soon. Status: Certified open." - Gabe Guarente
