Copper Tree Coffee House

Copper Tree Coffee House is a beloved independent espresso bar and café located at 2406 10th Ave E in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, owned and operated by Israel “Izzy” Martinez, who built the business on nearly a decade of barista experience before taking over what was formerly known as Polar Café. The menu features specialty drinks such as honey lavender lattes, cardamom lattes, and London Fogs, alongside fresh pastries and breakfast items, with coffee sourced from local roasters on Vashon Island. A true neighborhood fixture, Copper Tree has cultivated a strong local following — particularly among students from nearby Seattle Prep — and is known for its warm, community-centered atmosphere and personable service.
