SLCR is the best local roaster I have found of the various cities I have lived in. (never lived in Seattle) I usually buy a pound of whole beans... and have been satisfied with all varieties, especially their mocha/java blend, their Ethiopian Sidamo (Yrgacheffe) and the house blend among others. Have found only one other place that offers a Yrgacheffe of comparable quality and that was mail order. Barista service also very good... never a bad espresso.
Pros: Great coffee, TRAX accessible, Fabulous desserts
Cons: Distant parking
