Bulldog News in Seattle, Washington

“Great spot! I recommend for hangouts and coffee pick ups on your way to and from west campus. The pick up window outside is super convenient. Also ask the barista for a recommendation, they have never once recommended me something I didn't like. Not my favourite study spot (hard to get a table), I recommend taking to go and then hopping to ode with your treats!”

“Popular cafe and newsstand with magazines on seemingly every topic. The coffee and food are good, and the walk-up window is a convenient way to get some caffeine and a pastry on the way to UW or wherever else you're heading. There's indoor tables and a smaller patio area available for seating if the weather's nice.”

“Well, what can you say? It's amazing this place even exists today as a news stand and it pretty much only exists now because it's a cafe with a wall of magazines and the periodicals part is a quarter of the store. I don't buy or read magazines the way I used to, which was all the time and the magazines that I used to read aren't the same any more, so I'm as guilty of not keeping news stands going as the next person but at least there's still somewhat of a news stand in Seattle. I really prefer the Barnes and Nobles in Northgate as it's more of a regular news stand than Bulldog and has a lot mo”

“Tell me a better combo than rainy weather, a stack of used books, and a hot cup of coffee I’ll wait! I stopped by this café after picking up some books and decided to skim through a few while enjoying a hot Americano. The cashier was kind, service was smooth, and the coffee was delicious. A couple of small things I wish were different: the table I sat at wobbled a bit (I accidentally bumped it and spilled some coffee), and it would’ve been nice if dine-in coffee was served in a porcelain cup. With such an interesting interior design, I think using quality drinkware would really elevate the wh”

“Ok, do I wish bulldog still just mostly sold magazines and the store was still mostly a newsstand? Of course. But they didn't invent the Internet or kill my favorite media format and they've done a great job transitioning the business to be a killer cafe while still selling magazines and providing great customer service. Well staffed, great drinks, great food, great ice cream, and the best selection in Seattle or actual print magazines. ❤️”

“Come here for the coffee, the baristas, the news, and the Le Fournil baguette sandwiches. Pass on the breakfast sandwiches. They never get heated up all the way and the egg is always cold. Not sure if the panini press is the best way to heat these as it takes a lot of time and the egg frittatas in the sandwiches are quite thick.”

“Delicious turkey pesto sandwich went great with the latte. I like the large amount of seating and discovering literary magazines. Music mix was really good.”

“Nice cafe. Lots of laptop workers on the weekends. they seemed to be out of everything. I sat outside to drink my coffee.”

“Nice almond croissant with reasonable price 4.35. Inside the croissant, there is a source(?) that I can fully enjoy the croissant. I will investigate more within near future, and will review consequently.”

“A unique cafe with books, socializing space and great coffee. Seating both inside and on the curb is great. We had the Con Panna, which was great - Espresso with whipped cream on top.”
