Craving for Organic Cafe: Cafe Fiore

This week, I'm really craving for good breakfast places and also any organic philosophical eateries in Seattle. So if you see my articles for the past few days, all of them have been Organic cafes or eateries around Seattle.

Cafe Fiore is one of those Organic Cafe in Seattle. They have three locations around Seattle, which are Old Ballard, Queen Anne, and Sunset Hill. I have to admit, I have not been to this cafe yet. Although, I wished they had it earlier when I used to live in Ballard.

Michelle B, who's a Yelper Elite member said, "Great coffee shop to cozy up in when the weather is bad, or when the weather is actually nice you can hang out on the deck to soak up the sun. You could also get your coffee to go and try to make it down the hill to Golden Gardens since it's just so darn close."








Here are some ideas from our community about Cafe Fiore:

"This place only gets two thumbs up because I don't have any more thumbs." - Morgan W -

"They are also looking out for the environment. The cups are compost-able and they have a special "garbage" for those. They do it all." - Carrie H -

"I confess, only one visit so far. But the espresso was perfect. And by perfect, I mean parfait. Delicious. If it's always like it was today I will be there every day, six times a day." - Derek B -

If you think this is the kind of place you want to hang out at, you should see all the rave reviews about this place from our web community.

Top Pot Doughnuts

Who knew local Seattleites craving for traditional old-fashioned Doughnuts could make Top Pot as one out of ten 'America's Best Doughnuts' in the United States by MSN and AOL City Guides.

Top Pot Doughnuts is so popular among those who live in Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill. "They make the best Doughnut around here" says one of the customer of Top Pot. Top Pot was in the highlight of their success when Starbucks offered to carry their product both locally and nationally.

The fact that Top Pot Doughnut serves zero gram trans fat doughnuts, tells a lot about the local shop. Top Pot Doughnut serves more than 40 different types of Doughnuts. Their Doughnut size is twice from a regular doughnut size.
Top Pot not only provides good food and aromatic Coffee, their shop is equally amazing. I have only been to the Downtown location, and I can tell you that it is a must-see shop! The shop's interior architecture shop is modern, sleek, and inviting. It's a high ceiling, two-floor building with glass windows all-around,and a tall bookcase full of interesting books to read.

Top Pot is located in five different locations around Seattle:
Capitol Hill | 609 Summit Ave E |Seattle, WA 98102

Obama's Blend

Dear Diary,

I came across Obama's Coffee Blend the other day- I didn't buy anything, but it was very tempting. I was walking down Pike street in Downtown Seattle and First Ave.



Next time around I walk by and see this sign, I will stop by and try Obama's Blend by Seattle Local Coffee shop :) ...
