Directions

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.
