Thanks to a tip in the My Ballard Facebook Group, we reached out to Equal Exchange Coffee to see if they have any plans of reopening after closing their Ballard Market location last year.
And the answer is… yes. They’re planning to open a new cafe next year in the new office building under construction at 15th and Market, just a stone’s throw from Ballard Market.
After 10 years, Equal Exchange closed in January of last year to give Ballard Market room for “more prepared foods and in-market seating.”
Equal Exchange is a co-op that supports small farmers, and it operates other cafes in Boston, Cleveland and Bannockburn, IL. (Thanks, Silver for the tip!)

This is great news!! I live two blocks away!
Thank you for sharing this amazing news and I think it is best decision by Ballard Market to open new cafe branch. I had a great experience with https://crazycoffeecrave.com/does-coffee-cause-bloating/ and this is an informative source to learn more about the benefits of coffee.
I like coffee houses of this format, usually, they are very atmospheric places with delicious coffee. I’m a big coffee lover and cannot imagine my life without this drink. I recently found a source that has become simply indispensable in this matter coffeezoid.com Thanks to the reviews, I found the most delicious coffee and everything that is needed for this.
