Quite possibly the most novel coffee shop in town, this drive-thru branch of the famous Seattle chain occupies a lovingly restored, art-deco gas station. Dating back to 1935, the building's fetching form has led to numerous Hollywood cameos, including in LA Story and 48 Hrs. There's a small outdoor patio for those wanting to linger.
