I’m a huge animal lover, no matter what the animal is. I love petting them uncontrollably or simply admiring them from afar (especially the wild ones). This led me to seek out cafés and stores with resident cats and dogs, places where you can pet them or at least watch their antics. And I’m happy to say I found a few in Seattle that you’ll love, especially if you’re a cat person.
After two years of persistently trying to find a table at Belltown’s Tilikum Place Cafe, on a slow Christmas evening, we finally managed to snag a table for two. Christmas miracle is what I’d call this, as this place is just one minute away from our apartment, yet it took us two years to try their famous Dutch Babies.

So why settle for mediocre meals when you can sink your teeth into the delectable food scene at U-District?
Right in the heart of Madison Park, Seattle, next to the sprawling Washington Arboretum, is a hidden gem, Arosa Cafe. The cafe was founded in the early 90s by a European gentleman who named it after the scenic alpine village of Arosa in Switzerland. However, for the past eight years, Arosa Cafe has been owned and run by Cesar and Adriana Santangelo, a super foodie couple who moved from Venezuela to Seattle in 2003. They are genuinely passionate about creating connections, good food, and community, and it comes through very vividly at the cafe.
