After another lunch break of checking out me close-by food spots, I had an Iced Chai Tea urge. One turn and I saw the cool artsy sign. Cool. Come inside and the inside feels warm and modern. Nice bold colors, decor, and that upper counter is sweet! It's a thick subtle teal colored glass counter. My chai was smooth and yummy, and my toasted ham n' cheese croissant was good. Man I loved that thick piece of glass of a countertop. read more

Stopped into this little coffee shop on my way to work this last week. Since I was in Seattle I figured I should avoid the usual giants (Starbucks...) and find something a little more local. Place gets pretty busy in the morning, which I consider an indicator of quality in a big market. My latte was prepared well and in a timely fashion. I also grabbed a turkey & cheese croissant for breakfast which was pretty tasty. Given the good experience and the close proximity to the office I would certainly stop in again. read more

Favorite cafe in downtown, bar none. From their perfect chais (and dirty chais! don't forget that espresso!), to the baristas' ever-willingness to try my london fog with new flavors, to the sinfully good sandwiches and pastries, you cannot go wrong here. The only downside is their limited hours :( read more

Perfect way to start the day. This little cafe is right along the way to where I work. Being out of state, and a first timer in Seattle, the workers were sweet in helping me decide what to try. I'm more of a tea person than coffee, and go for the occasional mocha, and so that's what I ordered. Perfect balance of flavor, not overly sweet or strong like most chain restaurants topped with whipped with milk. Excellent presentation for cup of coffee, I started my day with a heart. The chocolate croissant is tasty as while, light, fluffy and flaky no excess oil seeping from the flakes. I'm ready for work today. read more

I love their pastry case. I used to work just a block away so it was my go to early morning pick me up. Soy latte + a croissant. I've never had something I didn't love. The secret is probably a lot of butter and they don't let their shots of espresso pull to long. The timing is right on the money and it's always quick service. Skip the long wait, disappointing coffee, and mediocre pastry case at Starbucks a block away. Cafe Migliore delivers on quality, speed, and a peaceful environment. read more

Delicious espresso, nice wood interior. Best espresso I had visiting Seattle so far. High standards without the unnecessary pretension of some other Seattle coffee places. read more

Best coffee I've ever had! Smooth and no bad after taste. It's a hike from my office but worth it. A bit pricy, but as the saying goes 'You get what you pay for". read more

We stopped in here for a quick breakfast and coffee due to proximity to our hotel, but quickly fell in love! We have tried many cafes and roasters in Seattle, but this is by far our favorite. The couple that owns this cafe are incredibly sweet and resilient. They lost their other store due to COVID and are currently working alone to maintain their business. They roast their own beans and their coffees really reflect that. The blend they they use is very smooth and they have a wide array of syrups, in case plain coffee isn't your thing. They also have really interesting (and delicious) pastries. Highly recommend the dill and gruyere scone. Long story short, you should come here and you won't be disappointed. read more

This place was pretty good. They made a solid drink, but the atmosphere was too businessy and snobby, even though the baristas were super hip and indie. They didn't ask if I wanted it 'for here' or 'to-go' which gives them demerits! Boo! read more

I visit this location almost daily. The service is beyond exceptional and the coffee is hands down the best in Seattle. The baristas are very friendly and quick (even when there's a long line). I really enjoy visiting this location. read more

Tried their hot chocolate today for the first time, the taste of and smell seem a bit off.. it smell sour for me. read more

Caffe Migliore - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been to Italy and can say that not many coffee shops here can measure up to the quality. However, Migliore is an exception . The espresso here is delicious and the baristas are consistent. The service is also great and each visit has been pleasant so far! read more

i LOVE starting the day off at this cafe! The cafe itself gets pretty busy in the morning, but the staff are always so calm and on top of it. When it's not as busy, they're even more friendly! Soy Chai Teas and Soy Vanilla Lattes are my choice drinks, and they craft it to perfection. Two thumbs up!! read more

A most welcome excellence in lattes! I judge a coffee shop by the quality of their lattes (and I'm pretty picky about the quality of them). Migliore makes a consistently great latte with excellent flavor and milk texture. They also have good pastries and lovely small quiches. There's a couple of outdoor tables too. They can be quite busy in the mornings, but the staff keeps things moving so you don't have to wait long. They are only open on weekdays, so don't get your hopes up on the weekend. read more

Always a good experience for me. I asked the server for a mocha and she asked if I wanted it unsweetened. I'd never been asked that before so it surprised me. She explained that they have sweetened and unsweetened chocolate. Since I'm borderline diabetic, the option was more than welcome. read more

Our first coffee in seattle. It was delicious. I got the caramel latte and my wife got the coconut latte. They were both good! I would recommend going here. The people behind the counter were very helpful since we couldn't decide what to get. The flavors they offer aren't posted so you need to ask them.. read more

Caffe Migliore - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A group of us come down here every afternoon to take an afternoon coffee break. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is friendly, and the coffee is usually very good. I usually get straight espresso, which highlights any imperfections in any pull, and while I get the occasional unsatisfactory pull, most of the pulls are good and a few are even exceptional. This is also a great place to sit down for individualized meetings over coffee. read more

In the Financial Center on 4th Avenue, this is by far the best place to get a cuppa in the morning. The staff are fantastic. The pastries and croissants maybe a little too tempting. The classic movies or soccer or financial news on the no-sound TV are a nice diversion during the short wait for your morning cup. Just the right amount of seating and nice decor. read more

I thought my latte was medicore and most importantly- lukewarm. I can't stand a cool cup of caffeine, especially for the price. They did not have any veggie or savory options for food, which I am somewhat used to when it comes to the no-meat thing, but it just added a little bit more of a "C'mon, man!" to my thoughts about this place and so I resigned myself to having a somewhat stale croissant. I did love the inside, it was very warm and welcoming and the barrista was very nice. But...I've had better. read more

My absolute favorite coffee spot!!! I'm so sad I don't work downtown anymore because I used to go here every morning (and sometimes again in the afternoon) for my daily shakerato! It's not on the menu but they knew exactly what it was and how to make it perfectly! By my 3rd visit, they already knew my drink and would be making it before I even paid - that's a level of customer service you just don't see. Before here, I went to the Starbucks on 3rd and Madison everyday for iced doppio and they never remembered me or my drink (who else orders extra ice in their drink in the middle of winter??). Another thing I love about this place is how efficient they are with only 2-3 employees at a time. Even when the line overflows into the adjacent lobby, I've never had to wait very long. They are fast, fast, fast. Also, try their delicious cookies (I think they get them from a local bakery)! The cornflake and marshmallow cookie is heavenly!! read more

This coffee shop caters to the non starbucks crowd-- mostly business people (its in a bankerish building), but for those of us who appreciate good coffee, a more unique than starbucks atmosphere, a convenient location, people who listen to what you want to drink the way YOU order it (no more of the "double tall non fat, etc" or you are out of compliance speak), and really good turkey and swiss croissants, scones and chocolate. The only reason it is getting a 4 instead of a 5 is because the last time I was there one of the baristas was a little snappy. We all have our moments I guess. read more

The espresso is perfect. You will not regret ordering a macchiato.

I think this place is great, from the one time I visited. I had a latte & the most delicious chocolate macaroon of my life, and I'm not even a coconut person. Something just touched me inside when I laid eyes on that thing, and I'm so glad I got it. Also got a cool travel mug that is my fave because the coffee drizzles out so perfectly - nicely designed. The lady did get a little snooty that I didn't want my coffee in the travel mug, I was about to catch a plane and didn't want it hanging out in my luggage...Oh well. read more

I used to work in this building some years ago when this was a Torrefazione Italia, and next door was the University Bookstore instead of a frighteningly dreary looking restaurant. The coffee back then was nice and strong, about the best I've ever had. It was pricey, but worth it. Since Starbucks has swallowed up and "disappeared" that once proud coffee house, I am happy to find that Caffe Migliore serves up strong Italian espresso. They also make very tasty panini. It's a classy joint and they have a big flatscreen that is often showing soccer. It has great people watching sight-lines, and the decor is warm and comfortable. I'm happy that it's pretty close to my office. read more

This place is in my building so it would be really nice to go there all the time, but in the morning, they're just too rude. They rarely smile and when I sign the receipt for my drink I get the "you-better-give-me-a-tip" stare down. It's awkward. I don't need anyone chatting me up me in the morning but I don't need that either. The coffee is decent but it's definitely not the best of Seattle either. read more

i rarely go downtown but stopped by here for breakfast with a friend! almond croissant was ginormous and one of the better ones i've had! filled generously with almond paste and covered with millions of layers of flaky buttery pastry. yum. iced coffee was good! read more

LOVE the turkey cheddar croissant!!! A girlfriend and I go downtown once a month just to eat one, they are to die for!

I like what they have going here. They brew tasty coffee and their espresso drinks are high quality. Good assortment of sweet and savory treats in the baked goods case. I'm pretty partial to the dill and gruyere scone...maybe a little too partial to it! The atmosphere is nice. Very high ceilings and it feels bright inside...they seem to be going for a European cafe type vibe given some of the decor. Seems like a good spot to sit and get some work or studying in, but they do seem to cater more to the 9 to 5 crowd given the hours. Each drink is presented to you sans lid on a saucer with a spoon so that you can customize accordingly before hitting the road. It's a bit of a classy touch that distinguishes this place from other grab n go type spots downtown. read more

This is where you should go to get coffee when you are in the area. Especially if you are really into coffee, not the froo froo drinks people call coffee. Love this place. It is a great space, and a nice break from the craziness of downtown. My double espresso was perfection. Also, I must say, it is not helpful for a reviewer to comment too much on whether the place is "too business like". Small business people take what space they can find at a price that they can afford in the commercial world. This coffee shop chose a great location, the building happens to be in a business building. Who cares? I only trust people who rate the actual coffee. The building space is what they could get, and good for them. Commercial real estate is cut throat for small business. read more

This is now my favorite coffee shop downtown. I can't speak for lattes, mochas or any of that other stuff people disguise as coffee, but their real coffee is great! Straight up black coffee in a porcelain cup, fresh hot and strong, just as it should be. Really great taste and body. And refills if you sit in! The pastries are good too, give them a try! read more

Great coffee- love that they still put the latte art in the to-go cup. Felt like a Seattle native.

Crappy coffee and even crappier service! Their white chocolate mochas are not very good and the people that work there think they are way cooler than they actually are! Snobby and rude and for the price you pay you should get more. Just thank goodness for small favors- there is a Starbucks and a Seattle's best on the same street so I don't have to waste time coming here again. read more

Not sure how this got such great reviews. Perhaps I was there on an off day. The place has no ambiance. Very much a part of the office building it is in...cold...officey. The clientele clearly are those working in the offices above...seems to be lawyers and bankers. Makes Starbucks feel warm and inviting. This alone almost kept me out, but based on Yelp I decided to give it a try. The cappuccino's milk tasted a bit sour...the froth was on the bubbly side versus creamy. The sandwiches did look very good in the case, but I was not here for lunch. read more

Love these guys. In a town FULL of Coffee, the taste here is wonderful. I'll go out of my way to stop here in the morning - even though of course I pass 9 other places on my way to work, it's that good!! Check them out... (Closed weekends) read more

My go-to place for (work!) coffee downtown. Pros: They've gotten me addicted to their quiches. The coffee is generally smooth and I've been very happy with their lattes and mochas (unsweetened for me, thanks). The staff seem friendly enough and they remember my orders enough that they get confused when I order something else. (I'm okay with that.) Interesting selection of food options. If you're going to the Starbucks a block away (which block? any of them!) you're missing out. Cons: It's in an office building, it's got a lot of corporate clientele, it's not really a place to hang out in unless you're having a Power Coffee Break (and some obviously do there). Lines can get backed up a bit in the early morning if the baristas are a little behind. The food options can get a bit barren in the mid-to-late-afternoon. Some days I wish it was open a little after 5 so I could grab something on the way out, but I know that's not likely to happen. read more

Ex-cell-ent. They really know what they're doing here. This is the best latte I've found in the downtown area. When I'm feeling particularly indulgent, their mocha is really good too...with customizable sweetness, as they use unsweetened cocoa. I only wish they were open on Saturdays...please? read more

Visited Seattle and decided I didn't want to do the usual chains for my morning caffeine fix. Heard about Migliore on Yelp and thought I'd check it out. Couldn't have been happier I found it! THE best latte I've ever had. My girlfriend was ecstatic about her black coffee (the large size is like a cereal bowl with a handle) and we both enjoyed the panini-grilled breakfast sandwich. Sadly, it is not open on the weekend (or at least on Saturday when I tried to go back). read more

Awesome pastries. Haven't tried the coffee yet. Wasn't a huge fan of the space since seating and the layout is kind of awkward. Minus stars because of the lack of plug-ins for laptops read more

Guys, this place is probably to blame for the 15 lbs I gained. I never used to buy breakfast but then I discovered this place--their pastries, scones, quiches...they're to die for. The coffee is good too, but really, I come for the baked goods. Some of the best around! read more

Solid coffee shop. The ambiance is maybe the best thing about it, but the espresso and hot chocolate are delicious. The pastries are ok but not fantastic (hence knocking off 1 star) but it's still a very solid place to grab and go or stay and chat/work. read more
