How the Pacific Northwest Became a Coffee Paradise | Eater Portland
"Perched just off the University of Washington campus, I view Café Allegro as a cornerstone of Seattle cafe life: an ivy-covered, old-school coffee bar founded in 1975 by Dave Olsen that became the city’s oldest continually operated coffee shop and the proving ground for Nathaniel Jackson, who helped make the quality barista a beloved neighborhood figure and turned ordering from him into a rite of passage for generations of UW students." - Jordan Michelman
