If you prefer to give your hard-earned money to small businesses, as opposed to big chains, put Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors in your rotation of morning java stops and work-from-home spots. This beloved local coffeehouse and bakery offers artisan cups of joe and light bites to eat.
Natural light flows freely through the large windows, creating a comfortable environment in which to set up your laptop and take advantage of the cafe's free (and dependable) Wi-Fi. While you surf or answer e-mails, treat yourself to one of the artsy lattes that come with a carefully etched design on top or sip on a classic cup of coffee from local roasters like Tweed Coffee. Kuma Coffee Roasters in Washington state, Four Barrel Coffee in California, and Coava Coffee in Oregon also contribute to the array of beans available, so find the perfect cup at Figure 8.
