Starbucks

 

Starbuck's #1

The first ever store (the original was a few storefronts away.

Notice the old logo.

Not Pictured:

Etta's Restaurant ... is the place I bring guests.  My theory is look at the water and then go eat ... great views don't guarantee great food.  Etta's is not the most scenic view but the food won't disappoint.

Athenian Restaurant ... they filmed Sleepless in Seattle here.  The place is quirky and the clam hash is worth trying.  Service tends to be slow.

Matt's in the Market ... is an upstairs lunch/dinner counter with exceptional fresh cooked meals.
