By Seattle Coffeeshop Examiner Viv Weinkauf:
Seattle residents who haven’t driven down to Seward Park to enjoy the scenery and the cultural diversity this area offers are missing one of our best-kept secrets. It’s a little paradise, this stretch of Lake Washington Boulevard where bicyclists meander along the road and boaters find the peace of this tiny bay a place for relaxation and fishing.
Just north is the Genesee neighborhood, bordering the Lake and filled with parks, great views, and unique restaurants. One of them is Both Ways Café. Standing on the corner of 50th and Genesee, Both Ways is a tiny place with picnic tables on the street, mismatched furnishings inside, and the aroma of french toast sizzling from behind the counter. A friendly wait staff and satisfying menu make this a good destination if a breakfast meal is in your plans. But if you want a great cup of coffee, keep moving. Read more.
Both Ways Cafe is located at 4922 South Genesee Street in the Lakewood/Seward Park neighborhood. Photo/do communications, inc.
Who to know, where to eat & what to do in one of America’s most diverse zip codes!

I’ve been to this cafe. It is in a great location. I wish they would lighten the place up a bit inside–it is kind of a dark interior. The writer of the article makes some reasonable points on what makes a good tasting coffee.
We enjoy our visits to BW…even the coffee. The ambiance is perfect for us – more Euro and character driven than bright (try Geraldines for that). Very family friendly, and the food is great. I recommend the Havarti egg scramble and the Spanish tortilla. There are vegan options as well.
