But first…coffee

Welcome back to Pioneer Square! We’re glad you decided to drop in at our clinic. While you’re waiting to be seen, how about some coffee and a bite to eat? Let us “reintroduce” you to some Indigenous food choices, located right next door in our ʔálʔal Café.


In addition to a full espresso bar that uses beans from Salish Grounds, ʔálʔal Café offers breakfast and lunch items made from Indigenous ingredients from various regions of North America. So for example, your breakfast is more likely to be blue corn mush sourced from a Navajo Nation-owned supply company rather than oatmeal.

What’s the address?

The ʔálʔal Café is located right next door to our Pioneer Square clinic, at 122 2nd Avenue South Extension. The nearest cross street is South Washington Street. The nearest major intersection is 2nd Avenue South and South Jackson Street.

What are the cafe’s hours? 

  • Tuesday through Friday: 6:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
  • Saturday through Monday: Closed

And don’t miss the gallery! ʔálʔal Café exhibits original works by Native artists from the U.S. and Canada. Exhibits rotate seasonally throughout the year.
