This place is busy in the morning, so if you show up around nine, be prepared to queue up. However, the staff and apparent owner (an affable gent, clearly and proudly of Italian decent) move the line along with a quick ease. I ordered my 12oz americano and ham-and-cheese croissant "for here," because I knew I'd be writing a review - this place just strikes one that way, the kinda place you want to share with others. Not that they need any promotion, judging from the steady flow of patrons. Minutes later, I collected my Americano in a beautiful hand painted mug with the name of the place tastefully emblazoned and took a seat at a beautifully hand-painted table near the window. Shortly thereafter, the aforementioned Italian gent delivered my croissant - split long-wise and beautifully toasted in the panini press. Both were were thoughtfully prepared and both were delicious. Certainly worth my time... And yours.
Sitting here, listening to the barista speaking Italian to patrons, sipping on an incredible cappuccino... Takes me back to the Italian Cafe where I fell in love with cappuccino. This will be a staple visit whenever in Seattle.
This caffè is a great place to sit down away from the tourists at the Startbucks Reserve. They have great tasting cappuccino, panini, and pastries. The staff (Mario) is friendly and offer oat milk as well as WiFi. I would definitely come here again. Update: I've been back and it continues to be one of my favorite cafes in the area. Please support this local business and you won't be disappointed.
The service was fantastic. The breakfast choices were fresh and delicious. The espresso was incredible, especially the Le peppe. Never thought of adding pepper to coffee.
Enjoyed a latte from here, plenty of seating. While small, they have an open area. Love the vibe of it and enjoyed their roast for espresso.
Deliciousness in every drink of the espresso I had and the Nutellina. I had two drinks because the ambiance was great and the aroma was so good. One of the best coffee spots I've stopped at in Downtown and Capitol Hill!
Sometime ago, I had a year plus consulting gig in Seattle, land of a coffee chain that I do not care for ... so I just had to find a unique coffee shop that I could frequent each morning before I went to work. I was fortunate to find a caffe along Olive Way, which I found very appealing as it was very Italian in ambiance, service, coffee and food selection. (I am an Italophile!) Each time I returned to Seattle, this became my go-to caffe and on Saturday mornings, I got to know a few locals including the owner, Mario. In the last several years, it changed hands and is now one of the Caffe Umbria locations, but still managed by him, with the same outstanding coffee, pastry selections, and service. I recently visited and was pleasantly surprised to meet Mario’s daughter, Marta, working side by side with him … something unexpected, yet special, surely. If you are ever in downtown Seattle, check this place out and experience a little bit of Italy.
Their morning glory muffin is absolutely delicious! Never had such a tasty muffin before. I tried the cappuccino al Cacao - which is cappuccino with chocolate. It was decent. Overall would come back to this place to try more on their menu. Go local and support places like these. PS- for the first time I saw a menu being displayed by a projector. This felt like an innovative way of using a projector! Great job to whoever thought about this
Dumped the hotel breakfast for coffee and croissants here. Authentic Italian 5 Stars.
Good coffee spot. I loved the black drip coffee. They have some food options I didn’t try. Descent space to hangout
