Wednesday, September 29, is National Coffee Day, and we happen to live in one of the best places in the world to celebrate. It’s no surprise that coffee is one of the hallmarks of Seattle—our city is renowned the world over for its java and packed with a staggering number of caffeination stations per capita. We’ve rounded up this list of 20 local coffee shops well worth your time, from Hood Famous Cafe + Bar to Boon Boona Coffee, so you can ditch the ubiquitous green mermaid once and for all. For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.

The Stranger‘s Rich Smith wrote in 2018, “I come for the cups. The colored cups. They’re beautiful. Others come to sit on the couches and read stacks of contemporary art comix piled up on the coffee table. Still others come to sit outside with a 12-ounce drip of Herkimer Coffee and watch the people wander down Summit Avenue on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The service is warm and casual, and the staff is always listening to music that’s much more interesting than the kind you have at home. If you’re hungry, head around the corner to their cafe B-Side Foods. The toast is fucking delicious.”
