Monorail Espresso

Monorail is cash only, constantly thronged with bike messengers-bicyclists get a 25-cent discount-and it offers exactly the opposite of the gruff, seen-it-all service you might expect. Seattle’s first coffee cart (which has since transitioned into a walk-up window), known for its allegiance to liberal causes (seriously, even more so than the average coffee place), always makes you feel like its favorite customer. Now, please, step aside, because its favorite customer is right behind you.
