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...
