Milstead & Co.
8.0Locals Score / 10#4 of 11 Cafés & Coffee in Seattle
$$
Known forspecialty coffeeguest roastersFremont classicthird-wave pioneer
Milstead is a Fremont landmark that helped define Seattle's third-wave coffee scene and still holds its own against newer competition. The rotating guest roaster program means the coffee selection is always interesting, and the long bar setup makes it a great place to chat with baristas. It gets very busy on weekends and the space, while beautiful, has limited seating.
