[@RyanDeanDexton]

thanks ❤️

[@cosmeticsbyriley]

Ryan, you are a hidden gem of the internet. I’m going to Seattle in May, and this video was definitely a good insight to the coffee scene there

I remember going to visit some relatives in France back in 1979 and my father's cousin took me to a coffee shop in Strasbourg France where he was meeting a friend. That was the first time I had been to a large coffee shop and it was the first time I had even heard of a coffee shop. I was only 12 years old and thought who in their right mind would go to such a place to get a cup of coffee as if someone wanted some coffee all they needed to do was just go on over to McDonalds. Had I been older I might have told my parents that we need to open one of these here in America. Thanks for the Seattle coffee trip.

Storyville is one of my favs there, tucked away upstairs near the marketplace 👌🏼 dope video

[@georgeweatherford1027]

Next up: Portland!

[@michelef3071]

Yeah, Storyville Coffee in Pike Place Market is where you want to go for a “sit down, take your time” experience and the best espresso in Seattle!

Love that your pinky was out on the 1st cup - you are adorable!!

[@chrisk5651]

Also so sweet when you waved goodbye to the coffeehouses.

[@that1monk]

it is so polite how you took the time to wave goodbye to each and every shop

[@rahadyan9794]

I like when you saying “bye” it’s like you would leave your toys for a trip ☺️

[@a.j.stauft1779]

I totally love getting your viewpoint also..so radical..just two Canadian boys out n about love it!!!!

[@johnystudio]

Ryan waving “Byeee👋” to the coffee shop is so cute❤️🥰

[@chrischows]

Starbucks Reserve Roastery! Even if you hate Starbucks, the offerings are different and the setting provides a unique experience very different from a typical Starbucks, including a bar serving coffee-infused cocktails. So if anything, it's worth checking out if you're looking for a sit-down and chill aspect. My coffee friend who's averse to Starbucks, says he actually enjoys their Gravitas blend, which is unique to only Starbucks Reserve. Their barrel-aged cold brew is also worth trying if you were interested in a non espresso-based drink

New video, thanks these midly cure my depression.

Always enjoy seeing your adventures!!

I love your coffee vlogs! Straight to the point just how I like review vlogs to be

[@marat3095]

I just found out your channel... and love your vids, new sub here hehe. Greetings from Mexico!

[@digrood]

my favorite place to get coffee is from Metropolitan Market. it's a local upscale grocery store chain and they have really good lattes. I always buy their store brand of beans for home as well.

[@anajuoh]

[@Robt760]

Caffe Vita - Queen Ann Blend

[@dacendacen]

I like analogue coffee in Seattle - anyone else?

[@aarontheabc]

Come to Melbourne Australia for ☕ ❤️👏

[@mwaters5134]

Next time, check out Espresso Vivace and Victrola. Both are in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

[@allisonmasangkay]

I'd definitely recommend Boon Boona Coffee, Hood Famous Cafe + Bar, Union Coffee and Wine, Herkimer, Hello Em, Cafe Avole, Central Cafe & Juice Bar, and The Station!

[@paigefiveV]

Hey Ryan, if you want a great coffee experience, you should travel to Australia. We have some of the best specialty coffee shops and roasteries in the world.

[@Imarocketlamp]

I had a similar takeaway from coffee in Seattle - most places still favour darker roast ‘classic’ espresso. If you head back check out the La Marzocco cafe in the KEXP building. That was the best coffee I encountered there - they use different guest roasters 👍

[@GoHappyThoughts]

Waving and saying "BYE" for every coffee shop so cutiieeee ☺️🍀

[@Abstractor21]

I love you Ryan, and this video too. Though i have to say you only tasted those called Cortados, people generally drink Americanos so maybe you shoud had ask for one of those in every coffee shop.

[@AM-nx2bt]

Love this video! Thank you for showing all the spots! Love your content even when you cook n all I’m a big fan brother of the both you! Keep up the good content. Can I request for you doing a Filipino dish and could be anything you desire. I’m from Las Vegas, so if and when you guys come visit it’d be hella cool to meet you both!👊🏼😎👍🏼🙏🏼❤️ I’m Al btw.

[@soccer6946]

What camera do you use? Just curious

[@chillnndc]

I bet Ryan is still awake 🤪

[@emilydeakins4078]

No because the good stuff is in Portland!! Stumptown coffee for the win! (I’ve lived both places:)

[@johnmones1450]

I love your vlog. I think I commented on Joe’s vlog of your trip that I was astounded by how much caffeine you guys consume. I’m not an aficionado of coffee or espresso but it is a nice accompaniment to a relaxing leisurely

[@johnmones1450]

Hit the send button before I was done. What I want to say it’s a nice way to while away a 1/2 hr or so and just watch the world go by. Again I enjoyed the getaway vlog. Stay well. 👍🙏😎

[@BenJohnston21]

have you ever been to Zoka Coffee in Green Lake, Cafe On The Ave in the U District, or El Diablo Coffee Co (now closed) in Queen Anne? Those are some good spots IMO.

[@seedyfilmz]

You missed vivace and victrola. Two of the best in seattle!

[@connorsmith7666]

Teach me cooking things

[@dreambuilder751]

Hi Ryan. If Joe and you are coffee lovers, my suggestion is that you should come to Costa Rica. Here we have delicious and rather varied coffees depending on the region and the height where the coffee beans have been cropped! Greetings for you both!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

When I moved to Seattle for a few years, I was so hyped thinking I'd get the best coffee. I was totally underwhelmed.

[@DJ_BROBOT]

exactly...it used to be top notch on fire 15 year ago, and essentially Portland took over and shut it down. Then covid killed alot of up and coming shops. There are new shops slowly opening, but its slow as hell. Portland is on steroids with new coffee brands and shops on the daily, while Seattle is getting more corporate and fractured as it comes to coffee chains

[@cheftonton568]

Try to visit sushi restaurant.,do you eat sushi? godbless

[@neilliu4453]

Come visit Bellevue next time. Bellevue certainly has a different vibe than Seattle and a much cleaner city for sure

[@alvintsao8971]

My favorite coffee n' chill places in Seattle didn't survive the pandemic with La Marzocco being the most devastating. Analog is one of my favorites and am glad you check it out, though about half your list I would have completely skipped. Next time I would check out Espresso Vivace, Ghost Note Coffee (they specialize in using the coffee like a bartender would), and Caffe Umbria. Herkimer has great beans, but Analog actually uses their beans but does a better job with them. If you ever go to PDX is looks like the style you appreciate most is a scandinavian-style lighter roast -- please, please try Heart coffee. All my opinions, but I have worked in the food industry for 10+ years, so at the very least you know I'm a coffee addict.

[@lliamjurdom9505]

I want more content Ryan ... we all do ... come on now crank it out for us ... we are waiting ... of course you dont have to ... but we would like more thats for sure ...

[@jackiebrooks1138]

Ryan has a real job ....he is a chef in Vancouver Canada 🍳😊 Busy man🥩

[@boris_Shaw]

I'm a little bit confused about the cup. Why is all the coffee just half capacity?

[@RichardHayRickyyo]

Those are called Cortados. They are basically a couple shots of espresso. 2 oz. With 2 oz of steamed milk. Some people would say it is the best way to experience espresso. Others prefer something like an americano or it straight up.

[@boris_Shaw]

​@@RichardHayRickyyo Thanks for your reply and knowledge.

[@gonzalogonzalez2338]

nice

[@yunglynda1326]

would love to send yall some locally roasted beans from my area :) i'm no expert so i'd be curious to hear your thoughts

[@chefmactv]

Hello shoutout 🖐🖐

[@dirk2655]

It's world renown coffee. So it's worth it. However, the medium for selling it changed along with the prices etc. I think as coffee for 1$ at the time it was thought to be quite gaudish or prudish or whatever back then when nobody had a job that worked for itself in rural America or Suburbia, well Florida. Even today, a 1$ is quite disrespectful. Everything is compared to what can I produce at home. So in other words, if you sell me coffee for 5$...then someone opens up a shop with a wakeup call, and provide them a full breakfast for 5$. Keep in mind all hotels do the same and they're not pricey and when they don't the kitchen next door is too affordable, when it doesn't bankrupt because everyone is tired. I'm joking. All I'm saying is there is a reasonable profit margin..and often times...even though it's imported to states that dont' make ends meet, selling them coffee wont make them eat nor live more nor create local jobs..it's like religion and the appocalypse...same with bakeries. On my way to school, I'd visit a local bakery, everyone soo nice, but after ordering half pound of cookies for 1$..and what did I know...they'd give me the crisp bag with cookies that were shattered and looked like .25 cents. In other words, plan for the cookie to crumble...I have no idea why they would smack the cookies on a table and give me a bag of broken cookies..all shattered..hahaha It happened not all the time but it did happen...broken cookies...curds swept under the carpet now in a white paper bag...hahaha...was the school broke or did I need to share? Which then means every classroom needs a treasurer for class parties and so everyone can tithe. I think one classroom had a tithe quota. Aiee, de sardy i no anglish, no anglish, no angliss. Vaya con dios..haha

[@robmarth2226]

Did you get high on coffee after having so many shots of espresso 😨

[@davidsheppard1362]

I can't stand coffee served up in plastic or cardboard cups. It should be in proper China Cups !
