The Best of the Northwest

EStABLISHED 2012

Located in the heart of Downtown Columbia City, Seattle, Taproot Cafe & Bar showcases the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Established in July of 2012, Taproot is owner operated, and committed to creating an approachable space that can be enjoyed by everyone and is as appealing as our menu.

Located in Downtown Columbia City we utilize high quality and seasonal ingredients. In a community unlike any other, we feel fortunate to provide the very best for our guests. What makes us unique is that we offer an array of options whether it be hearty sandwiches, craft cocktails, unique wines, great beers, everchanging specials, catering, events, fresh juices and smoothies,.

The concept started with making the best of what the Pacific Northwest provides us. We not only seek out incredible flavors, but also take the time to create dishes from beginning to end, which allows us to enhance the nourishing aspects that quality foods offer. While we pride ourselves on our core menu items, our specials menu focuses on the very best of everything in season.

We are thankful that our amazing staff is a cornerstone of an evolving menu and shares our belief in guest satisfaction that helps keep the Taproot family rooted in the Columbia City Neighborhood as it continues to grow. The local art that hangs on our walls further ties the threads of neighborhood together.

Please note: :

We respectfully ask guests keep their dining experiences to 90 minutes or less and everyone at a table order something from our menu. Outside food or drink is not allowed in our establishment and guests looking exclusively for coffee service after 4 pm are asked to take it To-Go. Given the size of our space we are unable to accommodate strollers and children are not permitted in the booths,

Thank you for understanding.
