Seattle Coffee in Pioneer Square: Zeitgeist Coffee

Seattle Coffee Scene - Zeitgeist Coffee

Every neighborhood needs a great coffee house. A place that lights up a corner – one that opens up early and waves farewell to people on their way to work. A coffee house that stays up late with us and offers us a warm place to take off our jacket and forget about the world outside – if only for a fleeting moment. Zeitgeist Coffee is that place.

In a beautifully designed and spacious café, lined with red brick and lightly stained wood cabinets, Zeitgeist Coffee fits the bill. Whether you want to chat with a friend, get work done, or simply stop in for a coffee to go, Zeitgeist Coffee offers you great coffee, affordable prices, friendly baristas, and an assortment of pastries to try.

Zeitgeist Coffee’s space is beautifully pulled together by warm wooden structures, high ceilings and coffee flavor.  It’s a wonderful place to visit if you find yourself in Pioneer Square. They roast their own coffee so you might want to buy a bag to brew at home. Today Zeitgeist Coffee has an art gallery featuring the works of the local artists.

Seattle Coffee Scene Grows Deeper

Zeitgeist has a loyal following. One of the baristas told me that despite the construction in recent months, customers will go out of their way to come inside and sit down. I can see why. The place offers an easy-on-the eyes setting to watch the foot traffic or simply catch up with an old friend…and enjoy a Breve or Americano….whichever you prefer Zeitgeist has it and more. It is, by all accounts a great coffee shop.

We’re lucky that we live in a Seattle, where really good coffee shops are prevalent. Yet, Zeitgeist offers something a bit more unquantifiable – and is worthy of a trip across town to check out…

BTW: What is Zeitgeist? Well, it’s a German-centric compound word  – Zeit meaning ‘time’ and Geist meaning ‘spirit.’ The meaning essential encapsulates the spirit of a particular time… or it could just mean, it’s time to visit a great coffee house!
