Play Ball or Drink Coffee at Seattle’s Safeco Field?
I took a few action shots last night at Seattle’s Safeco Field. There may have been a Seattle Mariner baseball game going on as well. I don’t recall. 
I think the coffee was from Starbucks, although I also saw a sign for Caffe Appassionato. Needless to say I didn’t swing at that pitch.
I would argue their hop selection was less than “good” as well.
Only $4.75 for a large coffee.
Where they make the artisan espresso drinks. Yuck!
If you find yourself with a little extra time before the game, I suggest seeking out Zeitgeist Coffee at 171 S Jackson St. It is a few blocks from the stadium and they prepare excellent espresso drinks.

I’ve been to a lot of ballparks, but I’m still looking for a good cup of coffee at a ball game. I know it’s a lot to ask for and people don’t go to a game to drink coffee, but I’d just like one halfway decent cup just once.

If Seattle doesn’t step up to the plate and serve up some good ballpark coffee, who on earth will?? My hope for this summer is to find a good place near Fenway Park for a pre-game coffee and report back. My trip to the neighborhood last month, alas, resulted only in an Ominous Signs post:

In addition to Zeitgeist there are a few other excellent coffee places near the Seattle stadium:
All City Coffee
Trabant
Sodo (haven’t been to this one, but I got a strong referral)
