El Cerro has been open in Seattle since . It's a Caribbean coffee house in the former Dough Joy space on Capitol Hill, pouring Puerto Rican coffee and house drinks with pan sobao and baked goods from local bakery Pika Pantry. Everything in the shop is plant-based. Brand-new spots often run soft-open hours and a short menu at first, so it's worth a quick check before you cross town.
What's on the menu at El Cerro
- Puerto Rican coffee
- Pan sobao
- Pika Pantry vegan baked goods
