Best Small Batch Coffee Roasters in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"I appreciate that this operation sources and imports coffee directly from Ethiopian roasters, with many offerings coming from Yirgacheffe—known for rich, chocolatey flavors and explosive berry notes—and co-founder Solomon Dubie’s early exposure to the Ethiopian coffee ceremony clearly informs the roasts. Its Brighton location is closed while the cafe moves to the Central District’s Liberty Bank Building and its Georgetown roastery is expanding. The Yirgacheffe medium roast is a top-notch, easy-drinking selection, while the Paradice Avole Souf (a collaboration with a local designer) delivers a lot of complexity and comes in an artistic bag that looks great on the counter. For now I order bags online via the official website, though travelers can also find Avole through a partnership with the Africa Lounge at Sea‑Tac." - Mark Van Streefkerk
