"We already were smitten with Boon Boona after frequenting their original Renton location. But now, they have a new outpost in the CD right across from Seattle University. This roastery sources their coffee beans exclusively from Africa and roasts them in-house—and the result is a rich, bold cup that you should gulp regularly. While their espresso is terrific as is, they’ll often have a berbere-kicked mocha available (our favorite drink there), and we also love an iced latte infused with a pump or two of homemade lavender syrup. Grab a cup and people-watch on 12th while sitting at their outdoor counter." - aimee rizzo
