Coffee consumption and culture
People in Seattle consume more coffee than in any other American city; one study stated that there are 35 coffee shops per 100,000 residents and that Seattle people spend an average of $36 a month on coffee.[2] It is nearly impossible to walk past a single block in a commercial area in Seattle without walking past at least one coffee shop. Coffee drinkers can get coffee at a local sidewalk stand, parking lot, tiny coffee houses, big coffee houses, drive-through, and even delivery.[3]Шаблон:Dead link

Starbucks is Seattle's largest coffee retailer. It was founded in 1971 in Pike Place Market as a roaster, but only later became an espresso bar. In 1984 ownership of the company changed and Howard Schultz led a massive international expansion of the company.[12] In 2003, Starbucks acquired pioneering Seattle roaster Seattle's Best Coffee (SBC, originally Stewart Brothers' Coffee).[11]
Tully's Coffee
Tully's Coffee was at one time Seattle's second-largest coffee retailer. As of March 2018 there no longer are any Tully’s retail locations in the United States. Tom Tully O'Keefe founded the chain in Kent, Washington in 1992 to rival the expansion of Starbucks with an alternative business model.[13]
Caffé Vita Coffee Roasting Company
Caffé Vita Coffee Roasting Company was founded in 1995 to produce excellent artisan coffee and to implement an ethical model for coffee production which bypassed the fair trade business model and sourced coffee beans directly from the farmers producing it.[14]
Espresso Vivace
Espresso Vivace is a set of coffeehouses and a roaster. Founded in 1988[11] by a Boeing engineer, the coffee is produced to exacting specifications to match the owner's taste and the taste of patrons who prefer this different blend.[15]

Portland-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters opened a roasting facility in Seattle[11] in 2010.Шаблон:Citation needed On October 6, 2015, it was announced that San Francisco-based Peet's Coffee (a division of JAB Holding Company of Germany, since 2012) would acquire Stumptown.[16]

Last Exit on Brooklyn
The Last Exit on Brooklyn was a coffee house which opened in 1967 and closed in 2000. It was a gathering place for high-level chess players and intellectuals, and the proprietor worked to "create a haven where students and the benign crazies" were welcome and where "everyone felt equal and there were no sacred cows".[20]
Top Pot Doughnuts
Top Pot Doughnuts was founded in 2002 on Capitol Hill as a pastry bakery which also roasts and sells coffee.[21] It has since expanded to locations across the Puget Sound region and Dallas, Texas.
Bauhaus Coffee and Books
A precursor to Top Pot Doughnuts; Bauhaus Strong Coffee was founded on October 5, 1993,[22] and is notable for an unusual coffeehouse space design, which the Top Pot Doughnuts co-founders later applied to its design.[23] While the original location closed on October 5, 2013, a new Capitol Hill location later opened that year, following two new locations in Ballard and Green Lake.[22] All three were closed abruptly on December 13, 2015.[24][25] Owner Joel Radin filed bankruptcy in February 2017.[26]
