"Sure, maybe being trapped in a broken elevator sounds nicer than meeting someone in South Lake Union. But Cafe Hagen is a decent near-Downtown candidate. There are luxurious booth benches, lots of greenery, and a fancy menu of espresso concoctions to gauge whether your companion cares about good coffee or is a colossal waste of your time. Plus, they have an astroturf patio, so if it’s nice out, feel free to multitask developing a summer glow that this person might rub aloe vera on later." - aimee rizzo
