Discover Karoo, a vibrant South African-inspired café in Pike Place Market, serving delightful coffee and innovative cocktails in a cozy, uniquely decorated space.
"Serving coffee by day and cocktails by night, this South African cafe is in the historic and supposedly haunted Butterworth Building—the space was Seattle’s first funeral parlor, built in 1903, with the original choir balcony still extant. The Karoo is named for a vast semi-desert region in South Africa, and the decor reflects the name, with abundant zebra stripes and cheetah prints. Open since October, there’s EDM music happening on weekends, and the menu of drinks and bar bites includes some not-commonly-seen-around-here items—sausage rolls, boerewors sliders, South African wines, and several drinks made with Amarula, a cream liqueur made from marula fruit, or baobab fruit–infused gin." - Harry Cheadle
"Pike Place Market has a whimsical new cocktail bar and music venue complete with leopard wallpaper and lots of jewel toned velvet furniture. Look for cocktails inspired by the owner’s South African roots with names like Leopard’s Lications, Jozi Sunset, and Midnight Mamba. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
