Saatva has opened a new Viewing Room in Seattle’s Ravenna neighborhood. There are many shopping, dining, and exploration options in the area. Other popular destinations in Seattle include Pike Place Market and the Burke-Gilman Trail for outdoor enthusiasts.

Seattle is known as the birthplace of grunge, Starbucks, and, now, our latest Saatva Viewing Room. Not to be confused with its Italian namesake, this relaxed residential area is known for its towering cedars, charming bungalows, and renowned shopping.

Thanks to our latest Viewing Room, feeling sleepless in Seattle is a thing of the past. Handcrafted in the US, our mattresses inspire peaceful dreams and restful nights. Stop into our new location and try our luxury mattresses in a pressure-free space. Once you pick your perfect sleeper, we’ll hand deliver your mattress to you—for free.

Here are our picks for the best places to eat and explore near our Viewing Room in Ravenna, Seattle.

Where to eat and drink

Seven Coffee Roasters Market & Cafe

In Seattle, a daily cup of coffee is practically mandatory. So, skip Starbucks and head to this neighborhood favorite. Inspired by the owner’s Hawaiian roots, this coffee shop brews the good stuff using 100% Kona coffee. Located inside a century-old bungalow, it’s a cozy place to stop for a brew and a homemade pastry.

Ba Bar

A Vietnamese mainstay, the brother and sister duo behind Ba Bar has been serving up piping hot bowls of phở since 1999. The focus here is Vietnamese street food with classic regional noodle dishes like Bún Bò Huế and Cơm Gà Hội An gracing the menu. Plus, its midnight closing time makes it a great late-night haunt.

Ravenna Brewing 

Near the University of Washington campus, this family-owned brewery specializes in craft sours and unique flavors. Its spacious outdoor patio and rotation of food trucks make it perfect for that rare sunny day in Seattle. Try the Sleek Robot Pilsner or the pomegranate-flavored Gemstone Forager Sour Ale.

Din Tai Fung

Internationally renowned for some of the best dim sum in the world, this Taiwan-based chain has made its way to Seattle. Just like in Taipei, you’ll need to wait for a table at this dumpling depot. Once you sit down, order as much food as your table can fit, and be sure to order extra servings of their signature xiao long bao.

Frank’s Oyster House & Champagne Parlor

A New York steakhouse mixed with a Nantucket oyster shack, this is a classic date night spot. Crowd-pleasing comfort foods include a cheeseburger, fried chicken, and oysters prepared every which way. And while surf and turf is the main draw, don’t skimp out on the desserts, especially the Cracker Jack ice cream sundae.

Where else to spend time 

Pike Place Market

A trip to Seattle without a stop at Pike Place is like visiting New York and not eating a slice of pizza. Basically, it’s a must. Watch mongers fling fish, sample some local produce, and peruse more than 500 businesses. Deciding which to stop at can be overwhelming, but companies like ToursByLocals will make sure you experience the best of the best.
