Seattle, you're about to get a Thai coffee shop

from Soundside · host KUOW News and Information

This weekend, Seattleites will be able to buy drinks from the city’s first Thai coffee shop: Nudibranch Coffee, which is set to open its doors Feb. 7 on Capitol Hill.  The shop will serve drinks that reflect Thailand’s popular flavors and hot climate. Nudibranch also plans to host low-cost community events at the shop, like guest chef nights and gallery walks. This cafe-slash-community-space is just a few days away from opening its doors... But we were able to steal some time from the busy owners to hear how the vision for Seattle’s first Thai coffee shop came together. Guests:  Emily Sirisup and Cole Arnesen, two of Nudibranch Coffee's founders  Related links:  Nudibranch Coffee | Explore Thai Coffee Today Nudibranch Wants to Be Seattle’s First Thai Coffee Shop | Eater Seattle Nudibranch will bring Thai coffee to former Capitol Hill vegan doughnut shop | CHS Capitol Hill Seattle News Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
