Seattle is considered one of the main birthplaces of modern coffee culture, emerging alongside trends like grunge rock and social tech. Starbucks became a household name with cafés, packaged beans, and grocery items like creamer sold by Nestlé. The company began in 1971 as a single small Seattle location. The original flagship stood at 2000 Western Avenue but that building was demolished a few years after Starbucks opened.
