Storyville Coffee

Storyville's 1st Avenue location anchors the corner of 1st and Madison at the base of the Alexis Hotel in downtown Seattle. The flagship is a few blocks north in the Corner Market building at Pike Place, where the company opened its first retail shop in October 2013. This 1st Avenue location runs as the smaller downtown counterpart, with the same dark wood panels, the same warm amber lighting, the same instrumental jazz playing low. Storyville started on Bainbridge Island in 2006 and moved to Seattle later. Beans are roasted in-house. Espresso is dialed for round body. The lattes are what Storyville is known for in Seattle. On weekday mornings the room pulls hotel guests crossing the lobby and downtown commuters cutting up from the ferry terminal. Order the latte if you came for the drink Storyville built its Seattle reputation on. Order the cold brew if you want what regulars order through summer.
