The
Social Director's picks for
Coffee and Dessert
After
the show at the theater, you want to stop off in a nice, quiet
place where you can sit down and have good coffee, serious chocolate,
and chat with your fellow theater pals.
The Sitting
Room
108 W Roy St .(206) 285-2830. Coffeehouse. Sunday, Tuesday - Thursday:
4pm to midnight Friday, Saturday: 4pm to 2am. Closed Monday.
This comfy European style cafe is perfect for coffee and dessert
or a post-show libation. They also have a small cafe menu, if
you didn't have time to eat before the show. Sometimes there is
live music but not usually too loud for conversation.
Uptown
Espresso & Bakery Office
525 Queen Anne Avenue N. (206) 285-3757
Everyones' favorite latte place is an option only on Friday or
Saturday night, when it's open until 11pm, or after a matinee.
(It closes at 10pm other nights.) They have good desserts, and
outdoor seating when the weather is good.
The Famous
Pacific Dessert Company
127 Mercer St.. 206-284-8100. Sun/Mon 1-10pm, Tues- Thurs 11:30
am to 11pm, Fri/Sat 11:30am till Midnight.
I like their motto: "Eat Dessert First...Life is Uncertain."
But I like their cheesecake even more. It's right down the street
from the theater and the desserts are killer. We wish they were
open later on weeknights (only until 11pm - you'd have time if
you're quick) but on Friday and Saturday, they are open until
midnight, so you have plenty of time to indulge. They also have
a weekday happy hour from 3 to 5pm ($3.50 for any dessert and
coffee).
