1. Walla Walla Roastery
#BlackCoffeeTradition is alive and well at the Walla Walla Roastery. While you can find Roastery coffee used at a variety of coffee shops and restaurants around town, their coffee shop in the Airport District is a gem worth discovering.
The Roastery boasts a small, intimate coffee experience paired with friendly and knowledgeable baristas, immaculate coffee and pieces from local artists on display. Their outdoor fire table is perfect for those slightly warmer, but still cool and breezy days.

2. The Atlas
While Walla Walla University’s student-run coffee shop in College Place is a study hot-spot for collegiates, it is open to the public, and a great spot to sit down and read a good book or read student-written articles and opinion pieces in the school’s newspaper — the Collegian.
The Atlas’ seating setup is impressive. The relatively small two-story space boasts several large tables for groups of 4+, several couches to get cozy, and barstools both upstairs and at the coffee counter. Even so, the space doesn’t feel crowded on an average day — but rather relaxed and open.
If you do want to experience a crowded night at The Atlas, keep your eye out for their open mic nights. With an incredible amount of local student talent at WWU, it is an event that never fails to impress.
