"Mr. West has locations Downtown and at University Village, but the crowded chaos involved with a trip to either is far too risky for vetting a person who might be your power of attorney one day. Enter their Madrona outpost, which has the same tasty coffee and chic atmosphere (hello, vertical seafoam subway tile) as the others—only it has clearly swallowed a massive chill pill. Plus, they have soft serve, so if you two hit it off, grab a swirl and stroll down 34th Ave." - aimee rizzo
