Tysan, former sommelier at the Herbfarm, started a new endeavor, fonte. it's a coffee house in seattle, but they also serve real food and alcohol. we spent a morning at SAM viewing the michelangelo exhibit, and had the muchies after so we went across the street for a light lunch. they're in a great location. 1st ave and union. they are actually located between fran's chocolates and the lusty lady. (and if you have to ask about that yes, it is what you think it is).fonte means fountain in italian (french? both?)
we actually ordered sandwiches when we found out they had 'real' food. you pick up a menu, find a table and someone comes out and takes your order. all very civilized!
i had a smoked bakon, gruyere, dijon and carmelized onion panini with a side of apple slices. it was *very* good
matt had a roast pork sandwich, with something and something. he promised me he's remember and it turns out he doesn't :-( but his came with a side of 'pasta' carrots. (i do remember it was the 3rd item on the list)
i think they're paying homage to their next door neighbor.
i was really tempted to get the pink shirt "between lust and chocolate" LOL if you're not getting it, re-read paragraph 1.
