venti chai and salina(?) biscotti thing
Daren D.

Classy. Artsy. Relaxing. Warm. Friendly. Quirky. Cool. Beautiful. Musical. Great. Unique. Interesting. This is truly a gem in Seattle. Many small cafes share the same "similarly different" unique feelings and experiences but this place is ran by a man who's dealt with antiques for, if I recall, 40+ years. Mostly antique dealer, part coffee maker. I'd imagine this treasure trove of gorgeous multi-geographical pieces of amazing art is worth ridiculous value. The warm lighting helps accentuate the numerous wood pieces and garments. Nice, inviting and peaceful seating selection. You order what you want, enjoy it and then pay when all is said and done. I did have to go with some of my chai left, so he let me use a to-go cup - FYI: he automatically steams it again before putting in cup. I prefer my chai warm, so next time I'm going to say, "Just pour it in the cup, no steaming." He joked, 'Oh, sorry, now you'll have to wait 15 minutes for it to cool down." The Salina biscotti thing was ok but a bit to hard. Fun and quirky reads on the shelves, too.

Inside looking out.

A decent cappuccino in an interesting shop. It's full of Asian silks and object de arts. Many masks to view and buy. The owner was quite nice while I was there. However, there was no A/C if that makes a difference.

I highly recommend the Mocha Breve, it is absolutely the BEST coffee drink I've ever had!

This place is so unbelievably rare and special, everyone should stop by to get a taste for the real Seattle coffee. Never mind the chains and the popular coffee shops, this under the radar coffee spot hits the nail on the head! The mocha breve is the best espressos drink you'll ever had. So glad we stumbled across this rare gem.

I love Handmade Showroom! I make it a point to stop here every time I'm in Seattle and I always…read morefind a gift for someone here and my cats always get a little something. They have a great cat/dog toy section! The store features art and goods from local artists and there's so much cute stuff. I can easily spend 15-20 minutes perusing all the goods. I found the employees to be lovely whenever I visited. They sometimes would tell me about an artist if I'm looking at their wares and I love hearing more detail about things but I never felt pressure to buy anything.  Also they sell anything under the sun here from jewelry to vases to clothes to things for kids and babies. Great variety. I found a random darling egg sticker for my friend who loves eggs and my friend found these cool mushroom magnets for her sister who loves mushrooms. See, this store is amazing!  Pacific Place is a shell of its former self. A lot of the stores have closed and it seems like most people who do come here are coming to eat at Din Tai Fung or HaiDiLao but if you're in this mall make sure to stop by the 3rd floor and check it out! Highly recommend it! There's something for everyone. Also can be a fun way to while away some time if you're waiting for your seat in the above restaurants.  Also I just learned they have a website  https://thehandmadeshowroom.com/ so apparently I don't have to be in Seattle to shop their goods! Free shipping on orders over $50.

If you haven't visited before, you really should!!! Pacific Place might seem a bit empty right now…read moredue to: a 'rebuilding' phase, but there's a hidden gem you need to discover - The Handmade Showroom. Prepare to be amazed by this store filled with treasures from local artists. It's the perfect spot to find items that will impress your Instagram-loving friends, who love selfies and followers. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a curated selection of handmade jewelry, bags, soaps, spices, cards, chocolates, clothing, pillows, pet supplies, and kid-friendly items. Boom, instant Christmas gift giving! Don't hesitate to inquire about the latest arrivals and popular items; that's a surefire way to boost your 'Likes' on social media, as you impolitely take pictures of stuff that other people will love to receive. In all seriousness... The Handmade Showroom is a wonderful small business that celebrates and supports local artists and craftspeople. It's definitely worth your time.
