Best Coffee In Spokane, WA – Our Top 10 Favorite Coffee Shops

If you have ever heard anything about the Pacific Northwest, then you probably know that Seattle is Washington’s coffee capital – Seattleites eat, breathe, and sleep their coffee and absolutely cannot live without it. But did you know that Eastern Washington has its very own coffee culture that is completely separate from Seattle?

Spokane is the third biggest area in Washington state – next to Seattle and Vashon Island, and the residents of Spokane also love their delicious coffee. The culture in Spokane is more woodsy and laid back than the west side of the state, and its coffee shops definitely reflect that mentality.

Many specialty coffee roasters in Spokane roast their own beans. There are also several coffee stands and boutique coffee shops serving delicious coffee in Spokane, Washington. Many of them are within walking distance of fun places like shopping centers and Riverside Park. One coffee shop is even cleverly named after Atticus Finch from the book “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and feels a bit like a library! One thing is for sure though, and that is Spokane has its very own coffee scene, and it has plenty of coffee lovers keeping it going!

Below is a list of our top 10 favorite coffee shops in Spokane, Washington.
