Seattle Coffeehouses for Writers

Online Coffee Company is set up perfectly for people who want to get some done work. Power strips for laptop users abound, the music is kept at a mellow level, the free wifi signal is strong, and should you be having trouble with your own computers, they have desktops available. They even give you a half hour free on their computers when you order a drink.

While the coffee’s good and the free wifi signal is strong, it can sometimes be difficult to concentrate here due to the volume at which the baristas play music. There are only a few outlets, but they’re usually open for use.

This is probably a better place for meeting people than for writing.

During the day, Bauhaus can be a quiet place to work, but it gets crowded in the evening. Don’t count on using the outlets or the wifi. (The signal is sometimes spotty.)
