Ladies and gentlemen, the votes for Everett's best coffee shop have been tallied. We've never had a closer, more neck-and-neck race in the history of the EVVY awards. Here are the results.

Third Place: Cafe Works

Housing Hope's social cause coffee house Cafe Works came in a well-deserved third place. We love Cafe Works' mission of providing jobs and training to people in the community. Also, their location on Broadway connects with ReNewWorks where you can score some pretty rad furniture.

Second Place: Silver Cup Coffee (closed)

The beloved coffee shop, Silver Cup, came in 2nd place and trailed Narrative by only a couple of votes (for a moment we thought they were going to tie). Silver Cup is our daily coffee shop and meeting spot. They serve great coffee and the staff are basically family by now. They also sponsor Live in Everett, which we're super grateful for. Caveat: their sponsorship doesn't mean we have to say nice things about them.

First Place: Narrative Coffee

This is crazy. Narrative won best coffee shop without being open during the contest! We guess owner Maxwell Mooney really won peoples' hearts while running his pop-up cart over the summer. We get it. Great coffee, unique drinks, great service. Narrative is an experience. Congrats! P.S. Narrative's brick and mortar downtown location is in the works. Learn more here.

Honorable Mentions

Red Door Coffee: A favorite of Live in Everett staffer, Anna Tatistcheff.

Bargreen's Coffee: A classic! We like going to Bargreens and going back in time. Super affordable.

Bookend Coffee: This coffee shop located in the downtown Library serves super-delicious and locally-roasted Velton's Coffee. A Live in Everett staff favorite.
