Stop By Row House Cafe for Your “Seattle” Coffee Drink Feb. 10

Northwest Lavender Caffe Latte

Down South Lake Union way sits the new-ish Row House Cafe (1170 Republican St.), proud purveyors of illycaffé. They’re very pleased with themselves because they have picked up an Artisti del Gusto (Artists of Taste) Award from illy, and they want to share the love.

Tomorrow, February 10, stop by between 2 and 4 p.m., and you can pick up a free “Seattle City Series” coffee drink. One per person, good luck shouldering all the Amazonians out of the way.

“Only 40 cafés in the U.S. have received the award; Row House Cafe is the third in Seattle,” we’re told. Apparently it’s quite a to-do: illycaffè Master Barista Giorgio Milos (“top finisher in the World Barista Championships”) is visiting.

Besides its authentic Italian coffee experience, there’s also wine and beer to drink, and the Row House Cafe also serves up comfort food (cheesy grits, grilled cheese sandwiches, mac ‘n’ cheese) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner–with brunch on the weekends. Yelpers give them a lot of four- and five-star ratings. They also alert you to something different in the way of ambiance: “Walking into this place is like walking into a house; except there is a tree holding up the middle of the house.  Yeah, you heard me, a TREE.”

Hours are Monday thru Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Pop in for happy hour daily, 4 to 7 p.m.
