Cafe Lati Celebrates its First Anniversary

If there's one thing Meadowbrook/Lake City needs, it's more coffee shops.  How can it be, in a city obsessed with coffee, that there are two adjacent neighborhoods with only two non-Starbucks coffee shops? And for those waving your Starbucks loyalty flags, there are only two Starbucks in that same area; bringing up the total to a whopping four establishments.

One clue into this lack of coffee might be found over on the Lake City Live blog.  There's a  lively discussion about the challenges of running a business in that neighborhood. From reading the comments, it definitely seems like it is a difficult section of Seattle to maintain a thriving business. 

With all the challenges, I'm happy to announce that Cafe Lati - the only coffee shop in Meadowbrook - is celebrating it's one year anniversary.  Starting today they will have daily drink specials until Sunday, April 4th.  Become a fan of their Facebook page to find out all the deals.

More importantly, when you are about to take that quick run to the Starbucks on Lake City, why don't you head over to Cafe Lati on110th and 35th instead. Supporting your local businesses is the best way to get even more opening.
