Bauhaus Books & Coffee, Seattle

Located just up the street from Fillipi Books, this cozy book nook is the perfect spot to enjoy your latest acquisitions over a cup of coffee. The bookshelves are crammed with used books to the high ceilings, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow patrons glimpses of passersby and the distant Space Needle . The art books here were on sale at one time, but are now only for show. Single-serving, cellophane-wrapped Ding Dongs, popular with customers, sit next to a variety of standard coffeehouse treats. Get a taste of the New York Times (on sale at the cash register), and a thirst for the least-acidic coffee blends in town.
