You could drive by Conduit Coffee a hundred times without noticing its existence amid that thin stretch of industrial buildings along Westlake Avenue near the Fremont Bridge. Inside, a small team of Seattle coffee veterans roasts batches of beans for their expertly crafted coffee, like the nutty, lightly roasted yet full-bodied Locofocos Espresso blend. The roastery is open to the public only on Tuesdays during their weekly open house, when you can get free shots of espresso pulled from their Mavam espresso machine, test your coffee knowledge during free cuppings and demonstrations, and get a chance to meet the roaster and buy a few bags of beans.
