Interested in exploring the newest restaurant and retail additions to Seattle? From a coffee roaster to a cooking school, read on for a list of the newest hot spots to make their debuts around town.
Armistice Coffee Roaster
New to 2201 Eastlake Ave. East, Suite A, is Armistice Coffee Roaster, a coffee roastery and bakery. This spot's drink menu has traditional espresso drinks such as macchiatos, cortados, lattes and mochas, as well as hot and iced teas. Hungry? Grab one of the numerous pastries on offer, such as a croissant, muffin, scone, quiche or sandwich.
Yelper Dino G., who reviewed the new Eastlake business on July 21, wrote: "Customer service is simply five stars. It's not just the coffee, it's also how that coffee is served, and Armistice does it best, hands down. "
Broadfork Cafe
Now open at 111 Queen Anne Ave. North, Suite 102, in Uptown, is Broadfork Cafe, which offers a vegan menu of sandwiches, salads, healthful bowls and more. It's the cafe's second location in the city.
