Cafe owners also photographers, restaurateurs, Seattle's sexiest - cafe - restaurant


There's no surer evidence of Seattle's irrepressible love of -- and need for -- espresso than the fact that new coffeehouses continue to sprout up in this grim economy.



My story today about new coffee shops highlights the money and willpower it takes to get into the business. What I didn't talk about were the rich lives that many coffeehouse owners lead when they're not pulling shots.

Take Brian Wells, owner of Tougo Coffee. He recently opened a second coffeehouse, has plans for a third and was named one of Seattle's Sexiest: 2009 by The Stranger.

Somehow, Wells finds time for a photography business that took him to Ethiopia two years ago to visit coffee farmers with Caffe Vita founder Michael McConnell and Michael Hebberoy of One Pot.
