Laurel, now open for coffee, beauty, and light on E Olive Way

Laurel has opened its doors for coffee service at 1500 E Olive Way in Capitol Hill, Seattle, after a year of meticulous planning and community engagement. This intimate café and bar, led by the talented Kate Opatz, invites guests from 9 AM to 2 PM, with plans to expand into nighttime service soon.
