This is one of my boyfriend's favourite cafes and I love coming here with him. The baristas are so friendly and welcoming and I love the large windows and selection of pastries. I usually order a mocha and I love how perfectly the chocolate is incorporated into my drink every time. Zingaro has some of the best flavours and it's always fun to see what they have available seasonally. Today I ordered a Rocca Mocha and I enjoyed the fun complexity of the flavours. My boyfriend is a tea drinker and loves the huge selection of tea they have here, but the lychee tea is his go-to. They also have such a unique variety, it's always interesting to see what new combinations are on the menu. One of my favourite things about this place is the fact that they're one of the few cafes in this area that has both good breakfast pastries and good coffee. I love the strawberry muffin and all their different loafs. read more

When I was pondering the menu, I met the owner who told me "no substituting" on the menu. I was skeptical but after trying the Fire-Bird was so good it literally changed my life. Imagine the years wasted on therapy when all I needed for internal happiness was a sandwich. It is casual, and dark themed which is great because the paparazzi won't be able to catch me stuffing my face. ANOTHER perfect coffee is their Vietnamese coffee, sooooo good. read more

Caffe Zingaro - Breakfast Menu - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The vibe is so casual and welcoming. Every single person I've met there is amazing, but I believe it's the owners I've met a couple times that always surprise me. I'm not use to meeting such outgoing, interesting, and kind people these days. I loved that they chatted with customers, each other, and made the day feel alive. As for the coffee, I normally drink a plain hot americano if not just drip coffee. Normally, you'd pay what, $5 for a 16oz black coffee? Not here. I was so excited the first time I came in, ordered two coffees expecting to pay maybe $12, and it came out to MAYBE $5? I was so surprised that I mentioned it, both the owners explained that they like to keep the costs down for the simple stuff. Of course, they explain, if you order some intricately detailed drink, yes it may cost $6 for a drink, but if you ask me that's more than reasonable! Out of character, I tried their Roca Mocha around Valentine's Day! It was delicious, the treat I needed and a chair was calling my name. I even got some work done there that day. I look forward to coming back, I hope I'm a regular one day! read more

Caffe Zingaro - Almond Roca Mocha (seasonal) - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Digging this ambient place!! We were greeted with smiles as we walked in, which is always nice. The worker was super sweet and patient with us (as we were a big group) I ordered a vanilla chai latte with almond milk, and their banana bread warmed up! Unfortunately, the chai was a miss for me. It had a watered down flavor, and the chai was very faint- I'm not sure if it's because I got it with almond milk though. The banana bread was yummy! There were some little chunks of banana inside which was a delight, and it was nice and moist. They also don't skimp out on the portion- that thing was big! This is a nice place to hangout and catch up with friends- we stayed awhile and played some board games. Such a welcoming place!!! read more

I stopped in because I used to live in Lower Queen Anne and remembered this café from when it first opened. I was hoping to find a quiet place to work. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was very loud. When I politely asked if voices could be kept down so I could concentrate, the response was defensive and escalated into a personal comment about how I work. The owner explained that the person at the counter is his partner and that this is the culture of the café. I chose to gather my things and leave. If you're looking for a lively, conversational environment, this may suit you. If you're looking for a calm place to focus or work, it did not feel like a good fit for me. read more

I wanted a coffee shop near tourist-central and some place that isn't a chain. Found Caffee Zingaro. We all had a drink and a breakfast burrito. Definitely not cheap, but on par with the rest of the Pacific Northwest (how do you guys afford to live out there?) We each ordered our favorite coffee shop drinks: cappuccino (very good), vanilla rose late (very good), iced American (tasty but way too much ice - only about three sips and it was a very hot day - I really wanted some fluids not just ice cubes), and a London fog (way too bland and flavorless). We also got burritos. My fellow travelers had sausage and egg and I had the curry because I'm allergic to eggs. They were all ok but small for the price and not particularly inventive. While the drinks were fine and the food was food. The ambiance is nice and dark, there are plants growing, art is hanging on the walls, and charming dog companions there with human patrons. It's the quintessential old school Seattle coffee house vibe. It was a relatively quick walk to the touristy stuff. It's close enough to walk, but far enough to Uber if you want to save your steps for later. I'd go again. read more

Coffee is a dime a dozen out here but Caffe Zingaro zinged its way to my heart. Their broken umbrella latte was amazing. Soothing, refreshing vanilla cinnamon latte deliciousness on a cold rainy day? Can't be beat. The green tea latte tasted like any other matcha latte, I guess there's really only one way to make it. In other words, it's good, but I liked the broken umbrella more. They have pastries and food too but can't speak much to it, I did enjoy their chocolate chip muffin though. Held me over while I patiently waited for a proper meal later on in the day. So while everyone clamors over the OG starbucks or starbucks reserve, spend some time looking for quaint yummy coffee shops like these! read more

Walked in on a Monday morning before I had an event at McCall Hall and it was not busy at all inside with the exception of a few people. I ordered a plain ol oat milk latte to go and no complaints! Decent prices and a solid roast. While they have a sign by the register that says cash preferred, they accept card payments as well. read more

If you're looking for an authentic Seattle coffee place ...this may be it. Granted I didn't get around as much as I'd like and most breakfast places I went to had jet fuel for coffee. I hadn't found a great coffee place in all the years I've visited Seattle believe it or not. I've had to settle for Starbucks which isn't ya know the best in a place that boasts its coffee credentials. That said, I was able to get a oat milk pumpkin iced latte. Yeah, I said it. It was strong and good. Their breakfast sandwiches and burritos were a'ight, small so if you're hungry you may need something else. All in all, I stayed in the hood, and would not hesitate coming here again. read more

I think we've found our cozy spot when we want to hang out with a fun drink and a light bite. It was our first visit - the two people working were inviting and engaging. A nice assortment of baked goods and an impressive array of coffee/tea options. Best of all they are so dog friendly - looking forward to more visitors with our fur babies!! Nice extra touch to see small works by local artists being offered for sale!! read more

Friendly mask recommend but not required coffee shop. Very friendly clerk that took our order and the coffee wasn't too bad either. I tried their specialty Mexican mocha and it was tasty. They have bakery items to choose from but I didn't purchase any. Sitting room is available. I'd visit again. The best was the dog treats at the cream and sugar bar. read more

My friends and I had purchased tickets for the Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum on a Sunday morning so we were looking to grab some coffee & a bite to eat beforehand. In searching for cafes within walking distance we stumbled upon Zingaro and thought the photos and menu looked promising. We met around 10:15 AM and it wasn't overly crowded. I ordered an iced matcha latte, apple strudel, and sausage burrito. Iced matcha latte: sadly this was quite disappointing. I saw the barista add a green/brown colored powder to the cup and didn't have a great feeling about the drink. Once I received the drink, it was missing the hallmark green color and clear matcha taste that I look for in matcha lattes. I asked if I could swap it out for a different drink and decided to order an iced broken umbrella. While I don't normally drink coffee due to a low caffeine tolerance, the broken umbrella was a huge step up from the matcha latte. The sausage burrito and apple strudel were ok! Nothing too special about either. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with Zingaro in terms of taste and quality. Thankfully, it wasn't too pricey, but I would likely opt for a different cafe in the future. read more

I want to love this place but I am consistently unsatisfied with my coffee's taste. I have tried a variety of drink types at Zingaro and it's extremely hit or miss. Usually I have to go 'doctor' my drink at home to make it taste good. The staff is super nice but the drinks are not worth the prices especially if I have to fix it. I kept going because I am lazy but at this point I will save my money and I will go back to brewing at home read more

Comfy, clean. Great and friendly service and vibe. I really enjoyed the broken umbrella latte. Free wifi for guests. Will be back. read more

Excellent local coffee bar. The bathroom faucet lights up, but I get ahead of myself... the baristas were accommodating to our Gin induced ignorance, thanks to our Rachel's Ginger Beer excursion, but again I tangent... they accepted the challenge for an odd request from my companion...some sort of half Americano half steamed milk thing; she said it was perfect. But the real boss was my cappuccino...not capuchin monkey (I wish). We decided to split a coconut thing, and were pleasantly enamored with it's taste and mouth-feel. We groaned and nodded a bit, you see. Nice ambience and a no-gin-sold-here policy make it my future go-to when I need a little help back up the hill. read more

Came here for a Saturday afternoon coffee run. I got a 12oz almond milk latte. Their drinks are 2shots of espresso by default. The espresso was quite strong, but the almond milk was a bit flavorless/not foamy enough so it tasted bitter than what I prefer. However their coffee is super cheap compared to most of the other coffee shops in this area: $3.5 for 12oz latte, $.5 for alt milk (before tax). The staff here were super nice too. read more

came here with a friend yesterday afternoon before heading to the ballet. Warm welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. Nice specialty list to select from.

They have legit breakfast burritos and sandwiches! And they serve Tapatio hot sauce with it!! My favorite. The owner /manager is kind and friendly, I have been going here since 2017. He also always has new artwork every once in awhile from local artists, that can sign up with him to display and sell there art work! Every chance I get to go inside for a sweet treat or quick breakfast and/or amazing coffee , catching the art is the best part ! Coffee is superb , and they have many options and flavors and styles :) read more

The best oat milk latte I have ever had is made here!! I'm not sure exactly what it is because they don't adds anything strange... they said they spent months finding the best oat milk that foams up and doesn't clump or fall apart. They also have damn good espresso. Together, it makes the richest, most flavorful, almost a little coconutty, oat milk latte! They also have soy and almond milk, plus Hotchata (made with rice milk) AND they make Cubano and Vietnamese coffee! What a find! The interior is very Seattle grungy but they have lots of fun plants and rotating art displays. Some very fun art! Food - they have a variety of breakfast sandwiches (from White Knuckle), burritos, pastries, and paninis with decent vegetarian options In non-Covid times, they have lots of tables and chairs for lingering and working, which would be very nice given the cozy corner location and huge windows. Now the tables are stashed away, they have hand sanitizer, and enforce mask wearing and distancing. They also sanitize the pens. The people here are so nice. So cheerful! You won't regret coming here because you will get a jolt of happiness along with the coffee! read more

Friendly, local, quick, delicious, wonderful. Always recommending here to anyone. Best double chocolate muffins.

I've been here before but it's been a while. While in a field trip with work my friends wanted some coffee. I got a hot chocolate and a piece of banana bread! The gentleman made me on onion as a design as we were talking and laughing about my friends drink design! She had a heart but we said it almost looked like a pumpkin or a onion because an onion has layers! We all giggled about our comments about the heart that when he made my drink he made it an onion! He warmed up my banana bread and brought it to our table! The hot chocolate was very good but the banana bread was AWESOME! Very moist and a lot of banana flavor. I think both a 16 oz cocoa and the banana bread cost a little over $7. Which is pretty decent for downtown! Much cheaper than Starbucks and not a large chain! read more

Bright neighborhood coffeeshop, friendly baristas who know coffee, reasonable prices. Delicious handcrafted espresso drinks featuring Lighthouse Roasters. Highly recommend their house lattes including Cubano, rooibos, green tea - beautiful latte art! Mexican mocha and horchata available as well. My Cubano latte with cinnamon and raw sugar had fantastic depth and flavor, not too sweet. Also love the Caffe Zingaro with dark chocolate and caramel, a nice sweet treat for gray days. Huge list of flavors and syrups (20+) for customizing lattes and Italian sodas to your liking. Breakfast sandwiches, pastries, sandwiches and local desserts available if you're looking for a snack. Great baristas, ample seating with tables for 2 and 4 and window counter seating, outlet strips, free wifi and excellent coffee for fair prices make Caffe Zingaro a pleasant spot to work from. read more
