I drive all the way from the eastside to have "real" coffee and Victrola is one of my top picks. Their baristas are artisans and are not the usual coffee snobs that are so prevelant in superb coffeehouses scattered througout the Emerald City. There seems to be a problem w/ wifi, but I am just there to savor and sip the lattes: always the right temperature, not too bitter, not too frothy. The art work on the walls as well as the many colorful patrons give this coffee joint the Seattle vibe that a lowly suburbanite like me craves. My only beef is with the lack of parking.
