Coffee houses offer a really fun place to hang out, relax, and just chill with friends and strangers alike. True coffee lovers will tell you that the local, independent coffee eateries are the true face of coffee, not Starbucks or other big chains.

Many hardcore coffee fans can be found in Portland, Seattle, and a little suburb just north across the Columbia River from Portland, known to locals as the 'Couve. Here are three great local coffee hotspots in Vancouver, Washington.

Savona Coffee House‎

Savona is certainly a name that stands out in rainy Vancouver, Washington and as a coffee house it is quite a nice place to hang out! It is one of the few coffee shops on the Columbia River in Vancouver, south of the Highway 14 and right alongside the busy docks and old shipyards, dating back to the Kaiser shipyard era. Also nearby is a lovely private yacht dock, visible from a nearby public park. It certainly makes for a nice morning stroll, as the mist is coming off the river, or a warm summer evening walk, complete with an iced coffee from Savona. Savona also offers ice cream and sandwiches, sure to please the whole family!
