Description

It seems that each Seattle neighborhood has a cafe that perfectly reflects its personality. In Fremont, it is undoubtedly this light, bright and slightly eclectic coffeehouse. Founded in the 1960s, its activist roots have mostly been quietly absorbed. Nevertheless, the inexpensive, generous portions of ham-free split pea soup, vegetable-crammed salads and whole grain breads still harken back to the early days. Outdoor seating is available in warm weather, but the long tables and plush couches inside invite long conversations any time of year.
