Where to Find Seattle’s Best Coffee | Eater Seattle

"Going to Vivace is a pilgrimage. This is the coffee shop owned by David Schomer, an espresso innovator whose book Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques had a profound impact on the industry. Vivace was one of the first shops in the country to do latte art, and while these days you can get espresso drinks topped with foam flowers all over the city, there’s something special about coming here. Vivace lost its old beloved sidewalk espresso bar last year, but the cafe inside the Brix building on Broadway is still going strong. While you wait in line for your drink, check out the big board describing the history of espresso." - Harry Cheadle
