Cafe Javasti is nestled in the cozy neighborhood of Wedgwood in Seattle, WA. A dedicated group of baristas and coffee fans braved the holiday traffic and infamous Pacific North West rain to watch 16 baristas vie for this month’s title and prizes.

The top 3 took home a sweet prize pack: copies of Imbibe and Barista Magazine, a lovely set of Yama Glass tea cups, Espresso Parts magnet set and shirt, and a brand new pair of Brooks running shoes from their Heritage Coffee House Collection!

The warm cafe was filled spectators as the pours started being laid down before the judges.
