About this Neighborhood

Part of Seattle's University District beside the University of Washington, University Heights is caffeinated and global — 37 coffee shops and 57 restaurants that Yelp visitors rate 4.7 across more than 4,000 reviews. Nine grocers and six parks keep the campus edge livable. The food skews quick and international: 45th Stop N Shop & Poke Bar and Poke Dondon for poke bowls, Tea Republik for boba. Foursquare tastes read like a student's dream — coffee shops, bubble tea, and Chinese, Thai, Korean, Indian and vegetarian kitchens, with a comedy club for the nights.
