Seattle's Best: A Guide to the Best Cafes in Fremont, Seattle, Washington

Fremont is one of Seattle’s last-standing neighborhoods. Though it’s been semi-gentrified, much of the main downtown area has remained intact. From quirky vintage shops to street-side cafes, bypass that Mermaid-logoed coffee shop and enjoy a cup of Joe in a real Fremont cafe. Trust me you’ll be happier here!

This tiny café serves us espresso drinks and freshly baked goods everyday. The interior charms a European flare with the chandelier being my most favorite décor. Don’t expect to sit and chat, the two tiny tables inside are there for customers to sit while drinking, not lounge. Like the name, it’s a to go café, although there are some quirky wooden, stadium-looking chairs outside to sit and chat.

Rustic and chic, this is another local favorite that now has a new location, across the street. Tucked away on North 34th Street nearby Troll Avenue (and the notable Fremont troll), Milstead & Co has moved into a brand new space, which now boasts more chic than the good-old rustic charm (something that Seattle is losing fast thanks to redevelopment).
