Set in Seattle, WA, Van Gogh Coffeehouse has carved out a corner of the city's weekend brunch scene with a personality of its own. The room comfortably seats a mix of solo diners working through a coffee and a newspaper, couples splitting a stack of pancakes, and friend groups settling in for a slow, three-hour Saturday.
There's a small patio out back that fills up the moment the weather turns, and a wait list that moves faster than it looks.
