This small, labor-of-love record store is open primarily by appointment, and showcases a curated, international selection of electronica, ambient, deep house, dub, techno and other rarified dancefloor and chillout genres. You get the sense that if they sell it, one of the staff has obviously fallen in love with it.

Habesha Cafe is many things–a comfortable Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurant and cafe, a shop selling spices, wine and selected dry goods, and at its heart, a bakery supplying fresh injera to East African restaurants and shops around Seattle. The cafe stays open through dinner with a takeout menu for nearby bar patrons.
