In addition to serving delicious high-quality coffee and espresso drinks, Fuel Coffee is known for its friendly service, great décor, and inviting atmosphere. Be sure to take advantage of the Montlake location’s outdoor seating on a nice day! This cult-favorite coffee shop first opened in Capitol Hill in 2005 and was the brainchild of Dani Cone, owner of Cone & Steiner. In 2020, ownership transferred to Danielle and David Hulton, known for their unique technical bookstore, Ada’s Technical Books. The two bring a fresh new take to this established community coffee shop, adding a nod to their love for books and embracing Fuel Coffee’s reputation for a quality cup of joe!

Bonus: Fuel Coffee has two other cafes, Wallingford and East Capitol Hill, along with a walk-up coffee counter on Broadway in Capitol Hill.
