"This local chain’s light-filled Kirkland location sports modern accents and paintings that are often completed on-site by local artists. Ample seating, floor-to-ceiling windows, and creative beverages, such as the lavender mocha, make it a popular social spot for remote workers and rainy-day meetups. Those in a hurry, beware: This is a place to sit and sip, not grab and go." - Maggy Lehmicke
