Huxdotter Coffee

Huxdotter Coffee in North Bend is a mountain-modern café with big windows looking out at Mt. Si. It has high ceilings, couches, workstations with outlets, communal tables and a patio with a view. There's a drive-thru too, and at busy times staff take orders on tablets to keep the line moving. Their site lists more locations in Renton and Auburn.

The Irish Cream Cold Brew and the Twin Peaks Latte are the signature drinks, and the baristas are happy to customize. For food, there's a Cuban sandwich, breakfast burritos and house-made pastries. The chocolate croissants often sell out early, and there are vegetarian options. Their site mentions organic tea, local treats and a happy hour.

It started as a small coffee stand, and it's now a regular part of the day for a lot of people in North Bend.
