"If you work downtown and need some frozen prosecco in your system before you start clawing at the office window while whispering “I’ll quit tomorrow” to the tiny people down on the street, count to 10, gather your friends, and step inside the air plant-filled oasis that is Mr. West. It’s an all-day cafe from the team behind Bottlehouse, so you can count on some relaxation and interesting bottles of fermented grape juice you wouldn’t be able to find at other places in the city. The snacks here, like charcuterie, cheese, and toasts with lots of toppings are perfect if you’ve all agreed that you’re going to “graze for dinner.”" - aimee rizzo
"Use Mr. West for an off-site meeting in a pinch. There are little nooks if you need some privacy, and a communal area as well if you need to spread out a little more. They serve delicious food, from curried avocado toast to croissant breakfast sandwiches, and the coffee works whether you're in the mood for black cold brew or a cardamom rose latte. It also doubles as an all-day wine bar where you can drink frozen rose cocktails and local wines made from grapes grown in the Pacific Northwest." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"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
"Since the shops open at 10am (and 11am on Sundays), early mornings at U-Village aren’t really a thing. Even if they were, most of your coffee options involve a green two-tailed siren. Skip that noise and head to Mr. West instead. This brunch-forward palace of marble and natural light opens at 8am, so it’s perfect if you’re an employee on the opening shift, have a crack-of-dawn appointment at Virginia Mason, or just require a sit-down latte and warm pastry before attending a tween birthday party at Froglegs against your will." - aimee rizzo
