Harry Dziedzic has owned Harried & Hungry since 2014. He moved to Seattle at age 19 and began working at the café while pursuing a degree in audio recording. When the previous owner, Steve, was diagnosed with cancer, Harry took over management and continued running the business after Steve passed. Steve's parents, who had owned the café following Steve's death, offered Harry the opportunity to buy the location. He chose to learn business operations by running the café rather than attending the UW Foster School of Business, where he had been accepted. The business emphasizes sourcing ingredients from local suppliers to support the community and maintain quality.
The location sits on South Michigan Street in the Georgetown neighborhood. It is situated between 5th and 6th Avenue South, about a tenth of a mile from 4th Avenue South.
