We were there when it all began. As one of Seattle’s original coffeehouses, we’ve been roasting, blending and brewing Uncommonly Smooth™ coffee since 1970, when the roasting revolution gave birth to specialty coffee as we know it today. Now a nationally celebrated brand, we’ve remained true to our roots. With a wide range of franchise opportunities, we invite you to become part of the Seattle’s Best Coffee story.

With the proliferation of cafes and gourmet coffee retailers in the 1990s, specialty coffee has become one of the fastest growing food service markets in the world. In 2007, specialty coffee businesses had total sales of $13.5 billion in the U.S. alone* and coffeehouse sales are predicted to increase 125% between 2005 and 2010**.
