Bauhaus Books & Coffee

Just a fantastic cafe – tons of character and nice people!

summer memories of sitting in chairs outside with friends sipping coffee, kool-aid, or tea. I wrote some nice pieces there and like others said, it’s great for people watching.

After a 5-year stint in Columbia City, and another 2 years in Squire Park, I’m back on Capitol Hill with Bauhaus conveniently located midpoint along my walk to work downtown. I truly love this place! The Online Coffee Company is much closer to my house, and I like that place well enough, but it just doesn’t have the same cozy atmosphere and people watching potential as does Bauhaus. Plus, in the week or so that I’ve been back on the Hill, I’ve run into quite a few people at Bauhaus that I haven’t seen in years. I’ll be spending quite a bit of time here, I know…

The place was packed. People were actually visiting with each other! I brought my laptop and the upstairs was filled with others working away. For the first time in a long time, people were actually very friendly.

I go back and camp out with my work at least 2-3 times a week now!

when I moved to Seattle about 12 years ago. I read the entire Dune series sitting upstairs over countless cups of coffee. Also some of the best people watching on Capitol Hill if you’re lucky enough to find a seat outside!
