True Taste of Seattle’s Coffee Tour

Meet your guide in downtown Seattle and set out on foot through one of the city’s key coffee neighbourhoods. Over the course of about two hours you’ll stop at several specialty cafés and roasteries where you’ll get to taste three well-selected coffee drinks (for example a pour-over single-origin, a signature espresso creation, and a cold brew or seasonal variation).

Along the way your guide will cover the full story of coffee in Seattle: how beans are sourced and roasted, how brewing techniques have evolved, and how the local scene has grown - from heritage houses to cutting-edge cafés. You’ll also gain insight into neighborhood history, the culture of coffee houses as social hubs, and how sustainability is playing out in this space (e.g., direct-trade beans, local roasting, café culture).

This tour is ideal for anyone who loves coffee (or wants to appreciate it more deeply), enjoys walking and discovering local businesses, and appreciates combining food/drink culture with urban exploration. Dress in layers (café interiors may vary), bring a light jacket for outdoor segments, and prepare for a mingling of tastes, stories, and the relaxed energy of Seattle’s coffee zones.
