Victor's Celtic Coffee Co. & Roasters

A Redmond institution, this is definitely a place where “everybody knows your name.” The quaint village exterior belies a funky inside, with mismatched tables and chairs, exposed wooden beams, antiques and burlap bags filled with beans; the ambience is a cross between Alaska haute frontier and Forks vampire chic. Check out the work of featured local artists and watch for power meetings of entrepreneurs. Indulge in the chocolate whipped cream, but remember: This joint is cash or check only, and House Rule No. 4 is “unattended children will go home with four shots of espresso and a puppy.”
