Facing west toward downtown

bauhaus books + coffee is a former coffeehouse in Capitol Hill in Seattle.

History

Bauhaus was founded on October 5, 1993,[1] and is notable for an unusual coffeehouse space design, which founder Joel Radin later applied to the design of Top Pot Doughnuts when he co-founded that company with others.[2]

While the original location closed on October 5, 2013, a new Capitol Hill location later opened that year, following two new locations in Ballard and Green Lake.[1] All three were closed on December 13, 2015, for unexplained reasons.[3][4]

Reviews

Bauhaus attracts patrons who like to read and study.

The cafe's most notable feature is its high bookshelf with rolling ladder.[5] The old furniture is part of the atmosphere of the place.[6]

Employees have described working at Bauhaus as being an opportunity to "meet amazing people. We are like a big family."[7]
