A Favorite Spot<\/h1>\n

In Seattle, where coffee flows like rain, coffee shops are almost clich\u00e9. Yet, despite their prevalence, just about everyone can name their favorite spot. Some are drawn to a particular vibe, others to velvety foam, some to their favorite single-origin pour over, and others to the neighborhood gathering spot. Fuel Coffee is one of those neighborhood gathering spots that has gained fans citywide by offering excellent coffee and food, unpretentious comfort, and an independent spirit. Also, a steady team of experienced baristas spoil the many regulars with velvety foam, perfectly drawn shots of espresso, and even pour overs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dani Cone started Fuel Coffee in 2005 after 13 years of slinging coffee at one place or another. Her first barista job was at a deli on Mercer Island while still in high school. A barista job helped her through college in Oregon, and when she returned to Seattle, she worked at Caffe Vita for several years. She loved the subculture of coffeehouses and the kinetic nature of the whole industry. She loved the way coffee houses fostered community and inspired companionship. So she applied for an SBA loan, got it, and opened the first Fuel Coffee on 19th Ave E on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI love how coffee brings together people from all walks of life,\u201d Dani says. \u201cNo matter what type of person you are, there\u2019s a place for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coffee Done Right<\/h2>\n

Even back in 2005, Seattle had a surplus of coffeehouses, and many told her she was crazy to open another one. But Dani was determined. \u201cI love that there are so many great coffeehouses in Seattle,\u201d Dani says. \u201cThere are lots of people and everyone drinks coffee. I wasn\u2019t worried about what everyone else was doing. We just wanted to focus on what we were doing and make sure we were doing it the best, each day, for each customer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fuel Coffee drew a loyal following immediately. Not more than a year after the caf\u00e9 opened her landlord offered her a space in Montlake. Dani says, \u201cMy original business plan was to open a coffee shop and live out my days as a barista, happy as a clam. That was it.\u201d But the opportunity felt too good to pass up and the second Fuel Coffee was born. Then just six months later a space she\u2019d looked at in Wallingford opened up and that landlord reached out to her. Crazy as it was, she opened her third caf\u00e9 in as many years.<\/p>\n

While Dani couldn\u2019t possibly be in all three places at once, her personality fills all three locations\u2014in the well-trained staff, the carefully chosen items for sale, and the decor, a mix of hand-picked thrift shop gems, like the old Mobil oilcans and iconoclastic selection of picture books and tchotchkes that line the floor-to-ceiling shelves at the caf\u00e9 on 19th.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fuel Coffee and Beyond<\/h2>\n

Building on the success of Fuel Coffee, Dani has also gone on to create High 5 Pie (which she has since sold) and Cone & Steiner, a neighborhood market with locations on Capitol Hill and downtown. Dani says, \u201cI love creating places for people to come together over good food and drink. That\u2019s the common denominator. I also just really love coffee and eating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thirteen years later, in this rapidly growing city, Fuel Coffee has become part of the fabric of the city. It feels like the prototype of so many of the city\u2019s neighborhood gems. \u201cI wanted Fuel Coffee to be a welcoming place for all people,\u201d Dani says. \u201cI wanted it to be a place where people would gather over great coffee and food, slow down for a little bit, and enjoy the company of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
