A New Discovery: 15th Avenue E Coffee and Tea

Hardly anything can keep me from a morning non-fat chai with a shot of sugar free vanilla. And should I ever have the honor of living in Seattle, WA, 15th Ave E Coffee and Tea would be, without a doubt, the ONLY place I'd want to have my morning fix served.

Behold the newest investment by Starbucks, dedicated to the recirculation of the original coffeehouse design among modern day folk. 15th Ave E Coffee and Tea -- from what I've read given my geography limits me from an in-person visit -- honors the sale of wine and beer, hosts live music and poetry readings, cultivates hand-made espressos and in my humble opinion, could not embody the look and feel of a neighborhood shop more in both decor and spirit. Here are only a few select shots that I could find. How unique and adorable is the condiments credenza? Yes, I think I'm in love.
