Who we are

Top Dead Center is a family-owned coffee shop in Seattle on the infamous Aurora Avenue near Green Lake. We love motos and snacks from around the world and wanted to bring the best to the motorcycling community - in Seattle and beyond.

Located in a building long known as a destination for imported motorcycles and cafe racers, TDC pairs the history of European motorsports and racing heritage with an approachable, friendly atmosphere where riders and the moto-curious all are welcome.

Come see some daily-driver collectible bikes or catch a Formula 1 / MotoGP race while enjoying Stumptown coffee or a Nguyen Vietnamese drip. We have a daily lineup of premium sandwiches, Pastels de Nata (Portugese custart tarts), and Argentinian empanadas that can’t be beat.

Not feeling fancy? We get it - don’t worry, we have beer and fruit-filled pies, too.

Stop in to say hi, show us your ride :)

The setting includes two modern white lounge chairs and a small round table with magazine on it, placed against a wall with a black framed display.
