Coffee Shops of Seattle Part 2

By Maddie

Part 2! Here we have 5 more coffee shops located in Seattle.

Cascade Coffee WorksLocation: South Lake Union. This place is really cute and aesthetically pleasing, but I honestly didn’t like this one. This coffee shop is probably the only one I didn’t like in Seattle, but maybe it was just because the drink I got wasn’t good. I got a cassava latte, since I’d never had that before. I’m not sure if this is related, but it gave me headache and I had bad headaches for the following few days/weeks :(

Herkimer CoffeeThis place has a few outlets around Seattle, but I went to the one in South Lake Union. The coffee shop is fairly small and has two floors. I got a drip coffee here, and I thought it was pretty good! I was considering buying some of their beans, but I ended up deciding against it since I don’t actually own a coffee bean grinder or a V60 or anything.

Fremont CoffeeLocation: Fremont. This place also has really cute latte art – I got a cat! I was studying here for a bit, and I think it’s a pretty nice place to hang out. The layout might be a bit weird since it was converted from an old house, but I don’t think it’s too off-putting. I did notice that the people before me didn’t get special latte art (just the standard rosettas), but maybe the barista could sense I was here for the latte art :P I’m super happy I got a cute drink though!

Overall, I’d say my favorite coffee drink in the Seattle area was the lavender mocha from Zoka Coffee Roasters (from Part 1 of this post!). I would definitely recommend going to Moore Coffee Shop for the waffles, and Moore and Fremont Coffee for the latte art. Kakao is also great for mochas, and I really enjoyed going to Cafe An’Clair for their bulgogi sandwich and the orchid breve. Herkimer also has great drip coffee. One place I wanted to check out, but didn’t have the chance to, was Slate Coffee Roasters. I’ll just have to wait till next time!

My Friday Nights

It was the Friday night of midterms during my first year at Caltech, and I was alone in the library. That weekend (week five of term, if you’re keeping count) also happens to coincide with Halloween. But as a bright-eyed frosh trudging my way through Ma 1a lecture notes, I was just baffled that no one else was studying alongside me. Spoiler alert: not all Caltech students spend Friday night—or every night—studying or grinding sets, even during midterms. And especially on Halloween weekend.

In order to get a good sense of the Caltech community, there is no better way than to talk to the students themselves. To give a little bit of an inside perspective of Caltech, I asked some students a variety of questions. Questions ranged from conspiracy theories to Caltech-specific takes and other random topics.

Searching for snow

My grandma always says that it rains whenever Dragonssuperior zodiac sign travel, and sure enough, it was raining when I landed at LAX for my last calendar year at Caltech. It’s officially my graduation year—but between leaving campus just before spring term in my freshman year and returning, twenty-one years old, as a junior, it really does feel like my time here has flown by.
