There’s no denying it — coffee runs deep in the veins of the Pacific Northwest. Known for its rainy days and cozy culture, this region has embraced coffee not just as a drink, but as a way of life. The roots trace back to the early 1900s, but coffee culture exploded here in the 1970s and 80s, with Seattle becoming home to Starbucks and a wave of independent roasters. Today, artisanal roasting and ethically sourced beans are trademarks of Northwest coffeehouses.

Coffee’s allure lies not only in the caffeine boost but also in the craft. Beans are harvested from tropical regions, carefully roasted to bring out nuanced flavors, and brewed in methods ranging from classic drip to rich espresso shots. The process — from farm to cup — appeals to those who value quality, sustainability, and community.

Vancouver, WA is no exception. With a growing scene of eclectic cafés, locals and visitors alike savor everything from single-origin pour-overs to velvety lattes.
