Turtle Coffee — Restaurant in Seattle

UPDATE: a few months ago they got a new owner. Unfortunately the quality of the espresso drinks suffered, and became quite inconsistent. Still quite friendly and warm but if I don't like what's in my cup.... Haven't been back in at least a month. I hope they improve, as there are lots of good coffee places nearby but it was nice to have a good one near home. Mabels is farther but I go there now instead.

He was very cagey and reluctant to answer but eventually said yes, he was using the WiFi.

Not sure why the owner behaved this way but I definitely will not...

The coffee and service is fine, but honestly, I heard a man in the bathroom shouting for help from across the coffee shop (I was at the small table next to the door and I was near a chatty group of 5 in the corner). After three shouts, I, myself went to help him. Turns out he was in a wheelchair and couldn't maneuver his way out of the room and hold the heavy door at the same time. I helped him with no problem, but in all seriousness, I was the last customer to come in, the barista was on that side, no drinks were being made or anything. There wasnt really a lot of room for reasons as to why the barista just wouldn't respond the...
