Since Seattle is one of the best places for quality coffee and I happen to keep discovering new ones since I live in the city, Im compiling this list (by popular demand). What people dont know is that there are also some pretty awesome tea houses (see post below). Rely on google for directions - Im not going to do everything for you :) Other guides will follow soon... comments and suggestions are welcome
Coffee
1. Stumptown: new kid on the seattle scene, but theyve been around in Portland since 99... they have a couple of barista's from my favourite place, Univeristy Zoka and they coffee is great. Not much to eat here and the seating is not made for chilling. Its also open till 11pm only. Located on 12th Ave in Cap Hill and the cross street is 12th and Madison. The espresso machine alone is worth a visit :)
2. University Zoka: the perennial favourite where you can chill in preppy wood pannelled surroundings. The coffee is pretty awesome and theres always good stuff to eat.. my fav is the zoka bar. The word on the street is that a few barristas have left and the quality of the mokas does reflect this. However Im hoping that the new barristas get better soon because this place is too great to go off the radar
3. Victrola: One of the 3 V's on Cap Hill (Vita, Victrola and Vivace). I dont think its open till late but it has the best brownie Ive ever had... and it was a vegan one too. The coffee here is also great and the ambience is also awesome
4. Bauhaus: Can a coffee shop get any better if its open till 1am! The surroundings are awesome ;), the coffee is always consistently great and this place is bulit for chillin like a villain.

You gotta add Vivace as its own entry. Still the best cappuccino I've had in Seattle.
I havent really had their capuccino, but I dont like their latte's as much compared to the other places. But They definitely are popular and I like the 'bored' games, so I will add an entry for them
