Dochi
Chinatown–International District
Seattle’s love affair with doughnuts shows no sign of slowing, with the most recent example being a boom in mochi, or rice flour, doughnuts, which have a chewier texture than their cakey and yeasted counterparts. Grab these creative bubble-shaped rings at the Dochi kiosk inside Uwajimaya.

Armistice Coffee and Cocktails
Roosevelt
Opened this summer near the future location of the Roosevelt light rail station, this upscale coffee concept draws connoisseurs of coffee and alcohol to this all-day café—the best sort of “work from home” spot.

Local 360
Belltown
This Belltown restaurant, built upon the idea of sourcing ingredients within a 360-mile radius of the city, now offers a multicourse, plant-based tasting menu Wednesday–Saturday.

Champagne Diner
Interbay
Damn the Weather, one of Pioneer Square’s best cocktail bars, has also long been appreciated for its food. This sister spot, which opened this summer, ups the ante by getting fancy with diner fare, such as tuna melts and meatloaf dinners.
