  Seattle's Best cafe opens next week; more coming soon

  Seattle's Best Coffee, normally visible as a wholesale brand sold in restaurants like Subway and Taco Bell, is opening its second retail café in Orange County on April 23.
  Although Seattle's Best Coffee has been owned by Starbucks since 2003, Gitchen said that Seattle's Best operates autonomously. "Our brand is kind of a departure for Starbucks," Gitchen said. "Starbucks has the reputation of being high attitude … We're the intermediate stop along the way."
