Throwback Movie Night at Bakke Coffee Museum

There's something special about watching a movie outside as the sky turns from gold to navy, coffee in hand, surrounded by neighbors and friends. That's exactly what we're planning for on Friday, August 21st, we'll be hosting a free outdoor movie night right here in Ballard, featuring the beloved '90s rom-com classic, 10 Things I Hate About You.

Set against the backdrop of a fictional Seattle high school, the film is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, with sharp dialogue, an unforgettable soundtrack, and a story that still resonates decades later. 10 Things I Hate About You has become a cult favorite in its own right, and locals and newcomers alike will appreciate the classic views of vintage Seattle.

Here's what to know:

Gates open at 7:00pm, giving you plenty of time to settle in, and catch up with friends before the film begins at dusk, around 8:30pm. Be sure to bring your own chairs and snacks to get comfortable for the show.

The event is free but pace is limited, so we ask that you RSVP in advance to reserve your spot.

Bring your friends, get cozy, and get ready for a night of romance, rebellion, and of course, good coffee!

On Saturday, July 25th, we're teaming up with our friends at Garden Club Cafe for A Day at the Museum — a morning built around three things we love most: coffee, community and music worth slowing down for.

From 10am to 2pm, this collaborative event features coffee by Garden Club Cafe, along with a vinyl DJ set by Alec Luna to set the mood. Guests are welcome to explore the museum's collection of vintage espresso machines and special guest vendors while enjoying coffee and live vinyl spinning.

Admission is free, it's drop-in, and it's all about being present. No agenda beyond good coffee and good company. So if you're looking for things to do in Seattle, save the date and see you there!

The Bakke Coffee Museum is Heading to the 2026 Greenwood Car Show!

Come say hello to us at the 2026 Greenwood Car Show on Saturday, June 27! 

The Greenwood Car Show is one of Seattle's most beloved annual community events, drawing thousands of visitors to Greenwood Avenue for a day of classic cars, live music, good food, and neighborhood fun. And this year, you'll find us right in the middle of it all.

As part of the Seattle Electric Vehicle Association (SEVA), we will be showcasing a selection of Kent Bakke's vintage electric cars. Kent is a proud member of SEVA, and participating in this show is a natural extension of his passion for preserving and sharing the history of electric vehicles. Kent is also playing a major role in the foundation of the Historic Electric Vehicle Foundation museum on historic Route 66, in Kingman Arizona. Come check out these unique vehicles up close and learn more about the history of electric cars! They've been around as long as espresso! A perfect fit for a day celebrating automotive history in the heart of Seattle.

Come out on Saturday, June 27, 2026 to Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA. Find us by Ken’s Market just south of North 73rd St. For more information about the event, click here!
