Emerald City
Coffeeholic House
Coffee Shop · Columbia City
Masters of Vietnamese Iced Coffee (and other specialties)! This is the original location. No seating available but can take a nice stroll around the neighborhood on a good day. (:

Starbucks Reserve SoDo
Coffee Shop · Industrial District
I personally prefer this Starbucks Reserve location because it's more spacious (and not as busy)!
Seattle Best Tea
Tea Room · International District
Milk tea made with real tea leaves. The owners of the shop are also super sweet and prioritize a good customer experience. They're very lovely and also serve some pretty great ice cream too.
The Flour Box
Donut Shop · Columbia City
Specialty donuts that are so delicious that they sell out QUICK. The line may look intimidating, but it's worth the wait if you have the time. (:
Le Donut
Donut Shop · Tacoma
Very hole in the wall donut shop that's been around for ages. Ran by a sweet older gentleman who makes some fantastic donuts. Worth the drive. Be sure to heat up the apple cinnamon crunch fritter if you're lucky enough to get one!
Salt & Straw
Ice Cream Shop · Ballard
Originally from Portland so it's nice to have a little piece of home! Always love their ice cream and quirky seasonal flavors.

Tacos Chukis
Taco Place · Beacon Hill
Favorite place to get tacos since college days. Glad they opened up more locations that are easier to get to like this one!

S/T Hooligans
Gastropub · Fremont
Nice, quiet place to enjoy some cajun dishes and some drinks with good company! Dine-in available.

Chuck's Hop Shop - Central District
Beer Store · Central Area
SO MANY BEERS ON TAP (and canned options too). Indoor seating and heated outdoor seating as well. What a fun place to chill and have a good time with friends.

So Tasty
Chinese Restaurant · Bellevue
JUICYY. FRIEd. CHicKEn. <3
New Luck Toy
Chinese Restaurant · Seaview
SUCH GOOD Chinese food (also offering drinks and karaoke)! My personal favorite: General Tso's Fried Chicken with chili sauce and scallion.
Honey Court Seafood
Chinese Restaurant · International District
If you had a wild night or just a late night in general and you need a good meal, Honey Court has never failed, especially in the post drunchies downfall.

19 Gold
Taiwanese Restaurant · Fremont
Bomb Taiwanese food. What more can I say.
Hangry Panda
Asian Restaurant · Greenwood
The food/snack options really hit the spot and they make unique drinks too to accompany your food (or vice versa?). I'd personally recommend the Sesame Scallion Noodle Nest! Currently to-go only.

Karaage Setsuna
Japanese Restaurant · Belltown
One of my favorite comfort spots for kaarage and curry rice.
Musashi's
Sushi Restaurant · Capitol Hill
Personally my favorite place to get Chirashi bowls and the sushi is good too! There are multiple locations but be sure to check the hours before you decide to go.

Seattle Fish Guys
Seafood market · Central Area
Hearty helping to meet your poke fix. They serve their poke FRESH.
Marination Ma Kai
Hawaiian Restaurant · West Industrial District
Enjoy a generous helping of Hawaiian food while overlooking the Elliot Bay!

Huong Duong Sunflower
Vietnamese Restaurant · Brighton
Another yummy Vietnamese place. I've ordered things from pho to rice dishes and I've never been disappointed.
Pho Ba
Vietnamese Restaurant · International District
It's not a pho restaurant if there's no random number in it (ba means three in Vietnamese)! Super hole in the wall place located in International District. The pho feels like home when I miss mom's cooking and the vermicelli noodle and rice dishes are pretty tasty and filling too if you're not feeling pho.

Flavor Lao
Restaurant · Greenwood
Amazing authentic Laotian food! The Kao Poon noodle soup is one of the most popular dishes and it's easy to see why once you try it. Heads up that the portions are large so come hungry. Nice place to eat on a rainy day.
Point Defiance Park
Park · Tacoma
On a sunny day, the Point Defiance area is a great place for a nice long walk with many different sights from the zoo to a rose garden and all the way to the waterfront!

Gas Works Park
Park · Wallingford
Quirky public park with its own Seattle charm that is one of the last standing coal gasification plants in the United States. Wonderful place to stroll around by the water and enjoy the sunset.
