Victrola roasts and serves coffees they buy from around the world. You can get the absolute best espresso in town here. Baristas are superb, atmosphere is excellent. Coffees include ""cup of excellence"" winners -- that is, the beans chosen as the finest in annual competitions throughout Latin America. Victrola also imports from a few small farms in Africa and Latin America where they have established relationships with the growers. Most of it is fair trade, organic, etc. (but they're not doctrinaire about this) There's a revolving art show on the walls, an interesting variety of stuff, and a wonderful collection of people, young and old for watching. They're opening a second store on Pike Street. If you're not in Seattle, order some of their coffee by mail -- if you want the best coffee, you won't regret it. If you're in Seattle, and you want to taste the best of the best coffee, don't miss Victrola!
Pros: Best coffee, great atmosphere
