weekend at Pike's

Last weekend the SCAA staged an event in Seattle which was probably one of the largest specialty coffee events of the year.
As Seattle is not too far away I took the Greyhound bus to check out what's new and awesome!
Saturday night I decided to stroll the city and visited Pike Place Starbucks which is the original Starbucks shop. Its heritage seems to be important to the company so they even name a blend after that specific location. And of course the place was crowded! From what I heard it always is but when there is a large scale Barista event in town... well, do the math.

The market itself is stylish in a distinct old-fashioned way and seems to be an entertaining location to hang out during  daytime. When I arrived it was almost closed so I did not get the chance to just watch people and let the time fly by.

On my way to the Hotel though I passed Seattle Coffee Works, one of the many fine coffee roasters the city is home to. 
A little event, kind of a barista jam session, took place there that evening but as I did not have my event accreditation yet I couldn't join them. So sad...
So back to the Hotel recharging the batteries for Sunday.

More on the event soon, just a small spoiler...
