Seattle’s first yaupon roastery and cafe is now open.

After years of research and fine tuning, we are launching Yaupon Espresso – conveniently designed for use with all coffee and tea brewing methods including espresso machines. Enjoy yaupon as a satisfying and soothing addition to your morning routine.

Visit us in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle for breakfast, lunch and yaupon beverages.

Now open

After a year of serving over ten thousand people and refining our yaupon offering, we found a permanent home here in Seattle. Over the years, this historic building housed the railroad track switcher, the Georgetown Truckstop, and Lects Soup Stop. We are proud to continue the legacy of independent businesses in Georgetown, and to continue serving soup!
