Where to Find Seattle’s Best Coffee | Eater Seattle

"Cardoon is a tiny shop tucked into the ground floor of a big apartment building on Market Street — anonymous and easy to miss, but an absolutely unique cafe. It serves a mixture of German and Chinese cuisine, a reflection of its owners’ heritages. The highlight treat is streuselkuchen, a German cake that here is topped with white miso streusel and seasonal fruit. If you want savory food instead, check out the gluten-free, vegan “egg” rice, which features silky beancurd skin and tomatoes over a bed of rice. As for coffee you can’t go wrong with the Seaweed Latte — don’t let the name fool you, the star ingredient is soy sauce caramel, which has an elegant umami finish. Cardoon is also developing an nonalcoholic beverage program, reflecting the growing connection between coffee and NA drinks." - Harry Cheadle
