“For the cravings of the technical mind.”
That’s the slogan at Ada’s Technical Books & Café on Capitol Hill. With a focus on math,
engineering and science, the shop is decorated with things like slide rules,
compasses and other geeky delights.
My mind is about as technical as a blueberry scone, which, after
greeting the other Friday sketchers inside the café, I took outside to the
porch facing 15th Avenue East. Enjoying my coffee and snack in the
mild temperature, I spotted a bright yellow pedestrian crossing sign that had been
doctored with a sticker. Only in Seattle!
After that sketch, I went inside to the very back of Ada’s,
where a small library-like room looks out on the café counter, bookcases, high
ceiling and polished wood floors. Ada’s is a fun, eclectic place even if you
don’t have a technical mind.
