Wayward Coffeehouse Seattle

How to leave another glowing review of Distant Worlds while accurately describing what makes it such a special place? I guess I'll need to write a novella to try! The coffee is excellent, the geekiness delightful, and the employees are absolutely stellar (shout out to the morning employee J. who made me feel welcome from my first unsure visit over 6 weeks ago, and continues to be welcoming and friendly and helpful); They host pop up food makers such as grayseas pies, and host comedy open mics and various meetup groups; They are COVID-19 conscious and clean; It's a queer and woman owned local business that fights for social change, equity, respect, awareness, and diversity; The allergy friendly everything is so very helpful, and I'm sure the particularity about being nut free is also very helpful to many; They display and sell many kinds of arts and crafts with an eclectic geeky vibe I absolutely adore, and from local artists who get the profits to boot -- including pins, dice mats, games, mugs, greeting cards, prints, and delightful earrings from my newly discovered favorite xyzstyleco; They are on Joe and use Clover which stacks up some nice rewards and adds a nice perk, you know, in case the delicious food and atmosphere haven't wooed you enough; They have two restrooms for customers in case you really have to pee while someone has a press conference in the other bathroom, They're located at a beautiful intersection for two main bus stops; The employees are ready and willing to admit their mistakes and find solutions; There are nerdy games and books and figures and stories and every new customer I've seen has their eyes visibly light up with nerdy joy; And last but not least, every person I've encountered there has led with respect first, which makes the whole event of grabbing some coffee, or kombucha, or pastries, a very special and different experience. Thank you everyone at DW Coffee for the light you share with us! 🧡
