NEW OPENINGS 

M Cozy Fusion Cafe List
Lately I've been addicted to the "Tropical Vine" (pandan coconut coffee) from the popular local cafe Coffeeholic House, which has locations in Columbia City, Greenwood, and Bellevue, so I was particularly delighted to hear that the team behind the coffee shop has set their sights on brunch. On Wednesday, co-owners Chen Dien and Trang Cao soft opened M Cozy Fusion Cafe, a new modern Asian fusion brunch spot with comforting dishes like ube mascarpone French toast and pandan waffles with chicken wings. The drink menu includes Vietnamese coffee, espresso, fruity "refreshers," and tea.

New pop-up bar just dropped: Capitol Hill power couple Joey Burgess and Murf Hall (owners of Elliott Bay Book Company List , Oddfellows List , Queer/Ba List r, and Cuff Complex List ) have launched this dusty desert-themed concept inside their bar The Woods List , complete with fake cacti, campfires, and themed cocktails. It'll be around through summer.
