Great sushi if you’re downtown and want good atmosphere, if you’re north more I have another option.

In Ballard we frequent here. Also fun atmosphere with the tree in the middle of the restaurant and great sushi, great options.

Skip the first store and go to the reserve. Way better experience with unique items you can only get there.

If you’re just not a Starbucks person one of my favorites is Vivace.

If you’re down by the pier, this is another great antique spot.
