Hidden City

Zoka Coffee Roasters has anchored Seattle's coffee scene for nearly three decades, with four cafe outposts across Greenlake, Kirkland, South Lake Union, and University. This specialty coffee roaster sources single origins directly from top farms worldwide and is perhaps best known for their award-winning Espresso Paladino—a medium roast citrus-and-chocolate blend that's been a customer favorite for 29 years. Dark roast lovers will find plenty to love here too, with bestsellers like Fitzroy and Tatoosh. They offer multiple subscription programs—single origin, roaster's choice, and dark roast—so their head roaster can keep your grinder full. A Seattle staple for anyone who takes their espresso seriously.
