Burke Gilman Trail Coffee Shop - burns its coffee..

by SeattliteC at Citysearch

This goofy place rents field goggles, has free WiFi and overlooks the Fremont Canal and Burke Gilman Trail.

It serves pastries and salads/sandwiches and $2 Hales Ale beers.

That being said, I have never had a cup of coffee that I could finish at this place. And yes, I am a coffee snob- but this stuff is bitter and burned, shocked and unhappy.

On a sunny day though, it's worth it to bike over, grab a beer and sit out on the deck.

• Pros: Sunny, large deck, general character, $2 beer all day long
• Cons: espresso
