A West Seattle Staple Since 2002
Hotwire Coffeehouse is part of West Seattle history, proudly located in a charming brick building that dates back to 1910. Originally serving as a carriage house for Seattle Lighting & Gas, the space has evolved into one of the area’s most welcoming and community-driven cafés. Our mission has always been simple: to serve excellent coffee while creating an environment that brings people together.
With over two decades of service, we are more than just a coffee shop—we are a gathering place, a workspace, and a cornerstone of local culture. Our customers return time and again not just for the quality of our drinks but also for the sense of belonging they find within our walls.
Locally Owned and Passionately Managed
Hotwire Coffeehouse is proudly owned and operated by Angela and Jeff, long-time West Seattle locals who became owners in 2016 after being loyal customers and friends of the original team. Their dedication to keeping Seattle’s coffee culture truly local is evident in everything we do—from sourcing beans to supporting local artists and musicians.
Jeff, a Massachusetts native who settled in Seattle in 1992, combines his business expertise and love for community to help steer the café forward. Angela, a West Seattle native and graduate of the
UW Foster School of Business, brings her background in operations, accounting, and leadership to ensure Hotwire remains a thriving local treasure. Together, they represent the heart of what makes Hotwire Coffeehouse so special: authenticity, community spirit, and unwavering dedication.
