Great Seattle Coffee Spots for Kids
Bringing your children along with you to enjoy great coffee doesn’t have to be a drag. In fact, it can be a fun adventure! Most cafes are really good about having items on their menu for children and some even have a dedicated area for kids to hang out. Some of the coffee spots are also in the perfect location to enjoy the surroundings that are ideal for children. Fortunately, Seattle has great kid-friendly coffee shops.
Below is an “evolving list” of a few coffee spots that I like, but you can help add to this list by taking the poll below or commenting!
The Best Kid-Friendly Coffee Shops in Seattle:
Ampersand Coffee – Alki Beach

Ampersand on Alki is always a fun place to bring kids. Right across from them you’ll find Alki beach which is a great place for your child to run around. Ampersand is really a perfect place to grab some coffee and walk along the shore and skip rocks The proximity to the beach makes this coffee shop kid-friendly by default.
