From Beer Halls to Bakeries, Where to Find Seattle’s Scandinavian Influences | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Dane serves beer and coffee accompanied by distinctly Danish dishes like smørrebrød (an open-faced sandwich) with salmon and pølser, Danish-style hot dogs with various pickles. The interior of the café and bar gives a nod to Nordic minimalism with simple wooden chairs, charcoal walls, and soft pendant lights."

The Dane Review - Ballard - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Imagine an alternate universe where you could drink a latte and work on your laptop, or lounge with a date on a sofa, or miserably fail at trivia night with your friends, or grab a seat at the bar for a beer and a cheese plate - all in the same place. We’re happy to tell you that such a place already exists, and it’s called The Dane. This all-day cafe has a surprisingly extensive lineup of beers hailing from everywhere between Washington and New York - plus great espresso, snacks, and events. Consider it your new weeknight hangout spot." - Aimee Rizzo

Good place for coffee - they have affogatos and lots of comfy seating. Super complicated WiFi password, I think they change it frequently. Decent beer selection, nothing barrel aged. I wasn't the biggest fan of the salmon smorrebrod, it was pretty dry. Their menu looks decent, I'd bet some of their other food items are good.

Great coffee shop for working! Tons of seating and very relaxed atmosphere. Lots of delicious pastries as well as of various other snacks. Some beers on tap as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful with decision making.

Great place for a quick bite and to work. I went there to work while I was waiting on my car to be worked on. The interior was spacious with multiple outlets so you can plug in your laptop and start working. Wifi is free with a purchase and make sure to ask the staff there for the password. While I was there, I had a quick grilled cheese plate. Their menu has a good variety of things to choose from. If you are looking for a place to do some work, I’d highly recommend here.

Very cool atmosphere with great food and drink options. The only problem was that they didn’t put Nutella on my Velvet Elvis. 😫

0815 hours and I was able to procure an #UrbanFamily Preservation Raspberry and BlackBerry Sour Ale, sit in a nice comfortable environment, listen to some chill music and get some work done. Staff was super helpful and pointed me in a direction I will be heading later to sample directly from Urban Family in Magnolia. Thanks guys!
