Slim coffee pickings on Montlake’s minuscule strip aside, you’re in great hands with Fuel. The space is clean and vast, with large tables for spreading out with friends (or dumping out a bunch of stuff from your bag for a chaotic-good work session). SAD is no match for the tons of natural light bursting through big windows. And fun seasonal specials are abundant, with things like black mochas for October, or lavender cold foam-topped iced matcha lattes for Pride (proceeds benefit LGBTQ+ organizations). Be sure to take advantage of the little secret patio out back on a nice day.
