This easy to miss place just plain warmed my heart. Cozy, but with a huge selection of comics/graphic novels, board games, and iMacs for browsing of the internets. The coffee is cheaper than the Seattle standard prices, and delicious(Vivace beans). The barista was awesome, and warm. I think he was just waiting for me to ask, «What’s good to read?» Unlike most comic purveyors, you are actually encouraged to read the wares. Sadly I had to run and meet friends at Araya’s. So to recap: this place flat out rocks. If you are in the U district with or without a computer, if you want to kill some time, if you need coffee, if you like comics, if you are cold, if you are lonely, or if you walk by and see the sign: Go. If you are hungry or have to pee: Go later.

As any of those impressive volunteery-type people will tell you, there are many ways to make the world a better place. One example: open a warm and cozy little coffee shop and fill it with a well-chosen batch of comic books and graphic novels and allow people to either buy them or just pick one out and read it while they have their coffee. How cool, right? You are Introducing people to such a rich, fun hobby in a low-key way, helping to build a little community over a shared passion. With all the suicide bombings and the war-mongering leaders and the unemployment and the cancer, the fact that this place exists makes this whole cold world seem a bit warmer.

I don’t know anything about comic books, so I’ll have to wait and see what someone else says about that. I do know coffee though, and that is consistently good. Also, the service is extraordinarily friendly, the internet is fast, the atmosphere is comfortable. The only thing that gets me to go anywhere else is their lack of food, air conditioning and bathroom. These things sometimes become necessary.
