Fresh space

Construction in our new cafe is humming right along. It’s amazing how much a fresh coat of paint and a good scrubbing can change the face and feel of an interior space. Our construction crew has been working around the clock to clean the old restaurant space into our new cafe– from painting the walls in our warm and inviting colors to varnishing our new countertops with a rich brown coat to polishing our sleek new concrete floor.

Thank you to all Seattle Coffee Works friends who’ve helped in demolition, construction and soon, cleanup! We’ll open as soon as possible in June and can’t wait to show everyone our new digs!

Keep your ears to the ground and your palates whetted for tasty coffee… the new Seattle Coffee Works is coming soon!

Sweet deal!

Yup. You heard right. It’s now only $5 to ship coffee from the Seattle Coffee Works roastery to your home.

For ages we’ve been shipping coffee via United States Postal Service. So far they’ve treated us and our coffee customers well. Our packages arrive reliably within two to three days all across the U.S., each complete with a tracking number to monitor the coffee on its journey. But shipping prices have increased again and we’ve heard murmurings through the grapevine that it’s just getting too expensive to mail coffee.

So we switched to a model of flat rate shipping. Instead of dancing around price fluctuations based on weight of package to the various shipping zones, we’re now charging only $5 to ship our delicious coffee! One price. $5. So whether you’re sending one bag to your sister in Dillingham, Alaska or twelve bags your cousin in Toledo, Ohio, it’s the same price. That way you worry less about shipping costs and more about which tasty coffees you want to enjoy!

Just know that you’ve saved a little money each time you find that Happy Coffee package on your front doorstep!

Woohoo! Let’s drink some coffee!
