Little Oddfellows

"If you’ve ever tried to get work done at Barnes & Noble and ended up reading 16 magazines/using your pocket change to order a slice of peanut butter cheesecake only to miss your deadlines, Little Oddfellows is the coffee shop for you. It’s inside Elliott Bay Book Company, but removed from the bookcase-perusing action so you won’t get distracted. Their espresso is from Caffé Vita, and you won’t have to worry about skipping a meal in order to power through the entire day—they have a ton of panini, avocado toast, and pastries." - aimee rizzo

"Some spots are also deciding to shut things down early, including Oddfellows." - Gabe Guarente

"Oddfellows is closing its doors temporarily due to the hazardous air conditions." - Gabe Guarente

"We’d like to make it known that you can drink wine in a bookstore, and it doesn’t have to be from a Swell bottle between stacks in the epistemology section where no one can hear you hiccup or cry. Just go to Little Oddfellows, the adjoining cafe to Elliott Bay Book Company. Drink some red or white on tap while perusing a stack of magazines you will not be purchasing." - Aimee Rizzo

"Imagine the ideal bookstore cafe, and you’ll probably be picturing something like Little Oddfellows. Which is fitting, because it’s right next to the cookbook section at The Elliot Bay Book Company. Their panini (get the ham and cheese), grain bowls, homemade pastries, and espresso drinks are excellent—and they taste even better while you’re getting through that stack of brand new magazines." - Aimee Rizzo
