2,000 Cups of Coffee Since 1994 Can't Be Wrong

Bauhaus was the very first place I had coffee once I moved into Seattle, in early 1994, and remains the gold standard by which all other coffee shops should be gauged in Rain Town, USA. One could argue that...

5.0 of 5 stars. The character, atmosphere, clientele, and a seat with view of the city that helped take coffee to new heights, makes Bauhaus one of THE best coffee houses. Anywhere.

I lived in Seattle for a year and I spent a good 6 months of my time at Bauhaus. The staff is incredible; they're the sweetest people in the world and they'll always make you laugh. The coffee is so good, I'm...

4.0 of 5 stars. Gorgeous building, great lattes, really friendly staff, nice outdoor seating, and top pot donuts. If their drip coffee was a bit better I'd give them 5 stars.
