Trabant is the best choice in the U District (they use Intelligentsia
beans). U. Zoka is a 20 minute+ walk down the hill past University Village
mall.

There used to be a small coffee shop on one of the back-allies facing the
Ave. Former beatnik, hipster, Safeco hangout. It's one block from the U.
Bookstore on the same alley if I remember correctly. It used to have the
best espresso in the district. Zoka is WAY down the hill from main campus &
a very steep and aerobic walk back up. Bring your nitro tabs!

When we visit Seattle, we've gone to a place called Honey Bear Bakery up near
the University. Great bakery, excellent coffee.

Dan, when will you be in UW territory? I will be working at Trabant
(website posted below) this Saturday and Sunday until early evening.
45th & University Way just past American Apparel.

The beatnik spot mentioned a few posts ago is Cafe Allegro, more or
less a Seattle landmark, billing itself as Seattle's oldest espresso
bar and having ties with Howard Schultz in the early days.

University Zoka is indeed a brief walk form the campus, though well
worth the visit. It can be a little hard to find if you dont know where
to look for it.

And Bronwyn Serna is currently working 3 miles or so away from UW at a
new restaurant called Sitka and Spruce. She made me fabulous espresso
yesterday!

Thanks everyone! It turned out that Trabant was too far away to walk to during
the symposium breaks, so I never tried it. Went into Cafe Allegro on many
occasions, though and had some nice chats with the owner. I congratulated him on
31 years in business. He said, "I never meant it to happen!" He has two stores
now, one about 4 blocks south. Between the two is a new Starbucks. He was a
little surprised that Starbucks would put a store so close to them, all things
considered, but he hasn't seen a drop in sales, so all is well.

Fun place, still a hang out, and the espresso was superb. Dan
