Fulcrum Coffee Roasters

Absolutely loved this coffee shop while living Seattle. Being right down the street from their Belltown location, it was a weekend staple for me on Saturday mornings. I made the mistake of confusing their roastery in Georgetown as a cafe.

My wife and I were visiting from Omaha, Nebraska and we wanted to purchase some local coffee beans. We had a tight schedule, so when we accidentally went to the roasting office and not the actual coffee shop, I thought we'd missed our chance. My wife suggested I pop my head in and ask to speak to someone.

Shout-out to Brian! I was intending to visit Fulcrum Cafe to pick up a bag of coffee beans but ended up at their roastery where I realized they only sell wholesale (They do online pickups for retail).

I wandered in by accident, just looking for a hot breakfast. Instead, I found myself in a roastery. The air was rich with the smell of freshly roasted beans, and the people inside greeted me with such warmth that I instantly felt at home.
