Seattle probably is home to some major coffee chains you’re familiar with, but this time, Seattle is a new kid on the block when it comes to the variety of food options they now have. You heard this first from us: the food options that you can find in Seattle, Washington will surprise you. Bringing Eastern food closer to you, there are many Asian food options ranging from rice bowls and dishes, reminding you of what Asia has to offer. The thing is, although Seattle is a distance away from Asia, the quality of food that they have and the chefs’ work definitely are not compromised at all. Besides a decent fare of Asian food, you will find a lot of western options and they are not ordinary pasta, they are whipped up with twists to the usuals - the combination of Rockfish and Ceviche and also savory biscuits with Chicken to accompany. If you take a closer look at all these eateries in Seattle, you’ll find that some places have better Vietnamese coffee than you could possibly find in Vietnam.
