Cafe Con Todo Seattle

Escape the Seattle gray

""Cafe Con Todo" in Seattle (est. mid-2018) is an extension of a salsa dance studio and has occasional dance evenings. Perfect neighborhood cafe ambience."

A small chalkboard sign is what drew me into Café Con Todo when they first opened in the beginning of summer 2018, advertising Slate Coffee, beer & wine and organic waffles. Waffles! How could I say no.

Located in Fremont, when you walk in the front door you're immediately transported somewhere warmer than Seattle's semi-permanent gray. Hammocks are the main form of seating and giant live plants dot the gleaming wooden floors. The café is an extension of the appropriately named "Salsa Con Todo," a salsa dance studio, and some evenings the tables and chairs are pushed aside for an evening of dancing and revelry.

But as a neighborhood coffee spot the ambiance is perfect. I’ll go before work for a strong americano or a golden milk latte, or during my lunch break for the waffles or their avocado plate: a whole avocado, sliced down the middle, stuffed with tzatziki sauce and pine nuts.

The baristas are always happy to introduce new menu items, or offer a sample of cookies or pastries. Definitely swing by on a rainy day for an escape & a treat!

Dick's

Seattle's iconic burger

"Dick's Drive-In" is how I like to imagine the 1950's were. Opened in 1954, Dick's is a local institution, and everyone has at least one special memory here.
