When I first moved to Seattle, I started asking my favorite baristas for *their* favorite coffeeshop in Seattle, and Milstead consistently came up. Makes sense - this place offers a best of the best curation of coffees from around the country, and the incredibly kind baristas serve them up to perfection.
Right in the heart of Fremont near the Troll and the Burke Gilman, it's also a perfect place to fuel up while exploring.
