after almost a year i still miss the joe bar... perfect double americano in tall green mug, table by the window with orchids on it, familiar souls, green walls, good music and art, even the tree out front...nostalgia...

Fumie & Junko

Hi Wylie.

This is Fumie & Junko who came for the interview last Wednesday.

I just wanted to let you know that the article is up on the website now.

I know you don't read Japanese...sorry about that. But Don't worry, we wrote many compliments. :) and I thought you might want to see how we used the pictures and stuff.

Again, we appriciate you taking time for us.

...and I have to come back to joe bar for those delicious crepes. :)

Sonja

Oh how I wish I could taste those crepes! Next time DSML:)

Cait

I don't know how I am going to get on without you next year in New York. Can I take the Joe Bar with me? :)

tom mccollum

Wylie, exciting to see the great reviews and fan following. It's been too long since I've been by. Any chance you'll open a California branch?

Stephen

The cheerful service and luscious hot chocolate served in exquisite wasabi-green mugs was the perfect remedy for post-Brokeback Mountain blues. Merci beaucoup!

Neal

Those pumpkin-sage-chevre crepes are just to die for.

Wylie,

Want to repeat your wonderful ad in The Seattle Review?? I've tried to call but my hours and your hours never mesh. I've read all your raves...and agree! Can we spread the word?

Greetings from LONDON! Oh, the Joe Bar, I miss you everyday...it is beautiful and crazy here, such a big city compared to home. I have been alone for days, looking for a place to live and a place to get a job, not as easy as you may think...or at least as I did! Wylie - I didn't really have the chance for a final goodbye, so sorry, with everyone else I just plopped in during a rush, cried and left. Bye for now Wylie - come visit me? Wylie that Oyster card fuckin ROCKS, I've been on the tube everywhere looking for a room and it has been such a relief to have one less thing to worry about. I love you all and miss you dearly...Please email me when time allows, I posted it there behind the counter. All my love, -Brynna

Ramona

Joe Bar is the best place Ivan and I have found in Seattle--owner, employees and customers alike-- a cafe where people join tables with strangers, where we can eat, play chess and draw for hours without feeling like we should go, and where no one balks at having a little kid take over the whole front counter to talk to them, even welcomes him, is an amazing rarity in our day to day here. All that and the drinks are always great and the food is soooooooo good!!

I love you guys!
but you knew that,

xo Ramona

tuireann

hello,
just to say you have lovely staff that make a lovely cafe and it really makes a difference to ones day.just like when you are driving along a quiet stretch of road and another car comes along and you give eachother a nod-lovely.you are totally appreciated!
p.s.bill i've lost all your contact details!hope you are well!

marvel

as good as the coffee is, the conversation and vibe are even better. this place has character...and characters, too! Devon is d-vine...I'm cooing...and Wylie should be a model!

21st Century Couple

A delightful sunny afternoon spent devouring your delicious crepes...Cheers!

michelle

wylie, open up joe bar part two out here in missoula and i will manage it for you! i say this in jest of course, but for reals, all the cafes, bars, and restaurants out here are either corporate or dull. and there is not enough of them. missoula needs cool small buisness owners with the "gift" to make missoula the city, as beautiful as missoula the land. mt sentinel calls out to all buisness owners to help missoula expand in pretty way not corporate way cause missoula needs more small buisnesses, more jobs, more culture, and more prosperity. it is having it's growth spurt right now i can feel it. anways, thats my shpeel...and joe bar will always be the prettiest cafe. :)

Serkan

I saw a painting in Joe bar 6 months or so ago. I want to buy it but can not find painter's contact info. I think his name is Tom Douglass. Does anybody know?

If so, could you please email serkankutan@hotmail.com

peace,
Serkan

Darinula

Gads... gotta get back to the 'ole Joe Bar SOONEST!

Maybe tonight? With some Broken Flowers for company?

Been too long, mates!

michelle

missoula is amazing and i love it here. but there is no cafe, sniff, that can even come close to joe bar, sniff.....i miss you joe bar and joe bar peeps!

michelle

i live kitty corner form joe bar and for three years it has been my living room. i am moving in a week to missoula and i will miss joe bar more then any other place in seattle. joe bar is home. no americano can compare. and all the baristas are so sweet and they really know how to keep it real. i pay homage...did i spell that right?

John

There is nothing better in the world than sitting outside the Joe Bar with a fabulous crepe and a cup of coffee on a warm sunny day!!

jane

damn i miss me a cup'o'joe... wish you were here in chicago! :) stay in touch you fools!

Joe Bar Junkie

Thanks for coming back cleaner, and sweeter after three days of being closed. We need our Joe Bar!

kris

hello. i am from chicago visiting this week for SIFF. i have never had a better crepe or been to a friendlier place. thanks. the presentation of my lemon sugar crepe almost outdid the taste. i wish i could take joe bar home with me.

Kevin

Hey Wylie!

I guess you are less harsh about the wifi on weekends than Victorola -- they finally decided to kill off the wifi for the whole weekend. See you're not corporate at all :-)

Sonja T.

How many Wylie Bush's can there be?
Guess I'll have to come see.
June 11th-15th

Gina

Everyone who visits Joe Bar Cafe, please come see "The Gits" documentary about the band and the legendary Mia Zapata on May 28th @9pm & May 30th @3:45pm at The Egyptian Theater here in Seattle. Get a cup o' joe and see the show!!! Peace.

Lisa

Great place! The mochas are awsome! I would go here more often, but there is no place to park!

Staci

Wow - I discovered this place last weekend (how could I have lived so long on the hill and not known about it??!!) and I am in love. Deeply in love....your coffee is sublime. Can't wait to come back with my Sunday NYT and laptop and while away a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Devon is the hottest guy there and the mochas rock my world!

i kuniyuki

i've walked more than a mile for that joe bar drip coffee and all those great art exhibitions...diem chau's crayon carvings are fabulous!!!

Jen ALLERSON

Devon, you make the best hot mocha with a cup of ice in town.
Wiley, well I'm not sure what you do, but you're pretty cool and all my girl friends think you're hot. They think you look like Noah Wiley -- the guy from E.R. In fact everyone and everything is cool at the Joe Bar. Amen.

Derik

Hi Marisol! You'll probably never read this, but if you do, are you in Seattle?

Nhon Nguyen

Missing Seattle and especially the atmosphere at Joe Bar....Wiley, I'll tell everyone in Japan about Joe Bar. I hope you're doing well.

Jim

Best damn drip coffe in Seattle and the Crepes rein supreme

Neal

Best soy mocha in Seattle.

Marisol

Damn, yo! Look at you!

Glad to see that the ol' Joe Bar is doing well and that you finally got the website going. Can't wait to go up sometime soon and try one of them fancy crepes you got goin' on there. Always missing everyone and the Joe Bar.

-One of the original Joe Baristas-Marisol

BRAVO!!!!

Wiley hope all is well with you and the shop. Take care.

Star

Your website is beautiful. I miss my single tall non fat chai latte, No body makes it like Wylie Bush. It would be perfect in this -10 degrees in NYC. I love your website because it lets me see what the JoeBar is up to and it looks lovely. Your guest book and the reviews are full fabulous things you sure have something special at JoeBar. Can't wait to visit again. Love

John

I'm looking forward to another year of great friends, great conversations, and great coffee at the Joe Bar. No other coffee shop in Seattle feels as much like home, and no other tribe of people feel more like family than the regulars at the Joe Bar.

James

Happy New Year!!

this place, in its entirety, is lovely. and the bar crew couldn't get any more charming. and those crepes know how to hit the spot. thanks for a great place, you all got a lotta love going on in there. Also, now i can check your website out from inside the walls of joe bar, not like i can figure out why i would want to do that, but i CAN, and that is tre good. thanks. j

Ali

I love J.B. and am thankful to take part in all the nourishment and atmosphere it has to offer. The staff is gorgeous and charismatic and the owner is cute as a button. What a beautiful site! See ya'll soon.

Aaron

Say Hello to Anna for me, also tell her to email me about the toystore that is in the neighborhood. Her Brother.

In a town of so many coffee shops, Joe Bar is one of the few worthy of a long-term relationship. Easily the best atmosphere in Seattle - paradise for the loitering class, of which I count myself a proud member. I am pretty certain I could survive on nothing more than peanut butter and jelly crepes with whipped cream, so I count the proximity of Joe bar as a survivalist asset should civilization start to rapidly collapse.

Jorge

With all the terrible news about the election, it's sure comforting to have the Joe Bar and real people around to remind me that the whole world insn't like the American Midwest and South. Those states aren't colored red by accident.

Linell

Hi Wiley!
I just called Leah and told her to get all the foodies together and taste those crepes! Your site is beautiful, I'm looking forward to stopping in when I come up this December.
Take care,

Linell

Nara

I don't know how we will survive for a year without Joe Bar. We will miss you as we search Europe for a comparable place for wonderful coffee, food, drinks, and conversation ... but we don't expect to find one. We love you!

The Velvet Hammered

My friend Teeeeeeeem and I like to come on by and let that Hammer Swing... then drop in the next morning for a strong cup 'o Joe!

Been hanging out there 3yrs now... and haven't regreted a SECOND!

Thanks, Bush (the Wiley one) for a cracking good shot!

Paola

The website and the place looks beautiful. I have not had the crepes but the menu looks delicious. I will come to Seattle for a Serrano Ham and Gruyere crepe. I have had coffee at the Joe Bar for several years in the past and it is the best coffee house in America. What makes this place special is not only the quality of the coffee, but that the staff especially Wylie (who is a hottie) is very friendly and really care the customers.
Wylie-Congratulations, it looks amazing, the menu is fabulous can't wait to visit again. say hello to everyone

Charley

No better prersonal satisfaction can exist when it comes from great coffee, food, and fellowship. The 7/27/04 visit by the Chicago tourist family who had read the Stranger write-up confirms this truism. Keep up the good work, Wylie and staff.

Sister

Beautiful site, for a beautiful sight- joe bar coming into view. Congradulations to all of you-staff and patrons- for your dedication to making joe bar become a thriving community in which to experience fellowship of the unpretentious kind. Kinda like church without the stained glass windows. Oh wait...there's your front door...

Damian

I frequent Joe Bar often and I must say: I don't want to get my coffee, engage in conversation, or enjoy art at any other
cafe. You can always count on a smile and a "hello". Thanks, Oh Mighty One-Eared Rabbit!

Ralph Doid

I haven't eaten a crepe or had your coffee but I'd like to someday.

Haidar-The Nice Guy

Just to let you know your coffee sucks--just joking, by the way always beautiful nice people around, especially the staff [except one] Thanks, Sallam

Marie

Hello all...I've got to come down soon for a crepe. I miss seeing everyone from the old hood. Congrats on the site, John.
