Bookend Coffee Company

I feel a little silly,  I have been lamenting about the lack of good coffee houses in Everett and I totally overlooked Bookend Coffee Company!  Bookend Coffee Company is located on Hoyt Ave adjoining the Everett Public Library Downtown.  This place is super cozy, quite and relaxed.  I often see people with with there text book or laptops getting work done.  I also have noticed book clubs meeting here.  There is about 5-6 lg oak tables with cushy seats and a couch and a few mission style upholstered chairs next to a electric fire place.  The style is art deco, like the library.  With wood paneling and law books lining the walls.  This place is classy and cozy all at the same time.

The coffee is always really great and if you ask, you can get a "for here cup".  They serve really well made sandwiches from a local deli for under $6.  There pastries are average but defently will satisfy your sweet tooth.  One of the things I like is they have small bags of pretzels or chips for cheap.  There is also cups of soup, lolly pops, bottled drinks and teas available.  Service is always friendly and quick.  I really love this place and we all should not forget its there.  Parking is in the library garage and there is no time limit.  WiFi is free with purchase.

Thing I love:

• Great kid snacks
• You can enjoy your library books and have a cup of coffee
• Its quiet

Things I would like to see:

• Wish there was pastries from a local bakery

Silver Cup Coffee

So, I love coffee houses! For a long time I thought Everett was seriously lacking a coffee house/roasters. Well I am happy to be proven wrong. Silver Cup is located on Colby in downtown Everett and they roast their coffee in Lynnwood. This place definitely satisfies my need for a local joint to sit and read and enjoy a coffee!

First off their coffee is really good and are experts at making designs in Lattes. They have pastries from Alki Bakery and sell coffee by the pound. I had the chocolate croissant and My son had the cinnamon roll. Both were very tasty. In there cold case they offer craft sodas, sandwiches and salads. The cafe it self is really cozy with large leather chairs and raw wood tables. The service was very friendly and wifi is free!
