Debra got to choose the spot in September. She picked the Soho coffee company in the central district of Seattle. It is a small little corner building next to a city park and a school. Once inside we felt very cozy and it had that coffee house feeling. I ordered an iced mocha since it was still somewhat summer time. They serve Stumptown coffee and it was very good! Debra ordered an herbal tea, it's got a pretty fancy name to it. They call it "Find Serenity" (free your heavy soul)...it includes St. John's Wart, orange peel, borage, chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and stevia. Now that's what I call a cup of tea! I did give Debra a hard time because she had ordered tea the last couple visits. The Coffee Buzzed felt she needed to be drinking coffee. Debra loved her tea and couldn't stop raving about it. I can safely recommend it to any future guests.
The staff was very friendly and also very helpful in helping us make our drink decisions. We just sat and enjoyed our drinks while getting to chat and catch up. I could tell from the other guests that this was a local hangout for them. It really felt like we were in the neighborhood coffee house. In conclusion I would recommend it to any locals in the area. On their website and blog, I had read that a "New Transformation" is in the works. Can't wait to visit again and see what's new at Soho!
