    Breakfast Menu
    John M.

    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.

    Banana bread , chai vanilla almond milk latte

    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!!!

    The ambiance of this building was very cool! Summer was the cashier who took my order she was extremely patient & Laura was there whipping up the good drink! If I were a local I'd be a regular.

    This was a great spot for a little snack and pick me up. The server was very friendly and attentive when I asked questions about dietary restrictions. The vegan burrito and the matcha I had weee very tasty as well. It's a dog friendly spot and has a lot of character! Lots of regulars from the neighborhood here too.

    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.

    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!

    They have grade-A baked goods, a nice ambiance, excellent service, a cosmopolitan selection of latte drinks, and cute succulents for sale to boot. Would like to come back for their coffee drinks

    My coffee choice...Mexican mocha and dog treats at the sugar/cream bar
    Jeannette F.

    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.

    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.

    The staff are extremely nice and very caring to whatever request I made to the drink or service, one of the best coffee I had in Seattle.

My feet were killing me and I was hot and sweaty, so a little espresso break is just what I needed. The menu had some fancy sounding coffee drinks but as a purist, I opted for a plain cappuccino. Hubby got a lavender iced latte, and we decided to share both drinks. The funky baristas were so kind and welcoming, and the service was friendly (no aloof baristas here!) and fast! Think of Anchorhead as a hipster place that treats you like family. Bonus stars for this establishment being all-inclusive and welcoming! I knew I was in the right place when I saw Pride flags proudly displayed in the window and even inside the coffee bar! It's nice to support non-bigoted businesses, and Anchorhead makes no bones about the fact that they are indeed a coffee place for everyone. Misfits, outsiders, trans and more: come as you are! We were also drawn inside thanks to the big sign on the front door that read "ICE NOT WELCOME." After placing our orders, we found a seat, filled a cup with the complimentary ice water, and waited for our name to be called. Our order was ready in less than three minutes! Talk about fast service! Since we had one hot and one cold coffee, it was a good assortment to compare. I normally am not a fan of any type of flavored coffee drinks, but the lavender latte was so nice and refreshing! We got the small size, which I think it way too small. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this drink. The ice was just right, and it didn't taste too watery (as the ice melted, it did get watered down but not in a totally unpleasant way). The lavender flavor was strong yet not overpowering, and the coffee has a delicate floral aspect that complemented it well. This was a terrific espresso drink. The cappuccino was also good. The milk was foamed perfectly, and the espresso was strong and rich. I'm more of a fan of espresso with cereal / honey notes, and Anchorhead's beans lean more towards the heavily floral. This isn't a bad thing, it's just not my jam when it comes to espresso. The cappuccino was very good, but not my favorite. These coffees are crafted and artisan, and the prices match! It was very expensive for these two drinks, but that's the norm in Seattle. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here again, but it's a nice place to rest and get a dose of caffeine if you find yourself in downtown Seattle.

I am not sure if this happens during the busiest moments in the shop, but they did have staff bussing the tables, and one staff member actually brought us our order (I'd been listening for my name to be called and didn't hear it).

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

We were initially enticed to visit Chaco Coffee & Tea given the mention of boba on their website. There aren't many options near Seattle Center, so having an additional one is always welcome! Walking in, unfortunately we found no mention of boba anywhere on the menu. I guess it's a future option or perhaps the website is just wrong, considering that they show photos of rolled ice cream, which they also don't serve. Ordering can be done either in person or at a kiosk near the front. There's plenty of seating and while we entered in the late afternoon, there were still several people inside settled down on laptops. Osmanthus Oolong Tea, 16oz ($6.25) - This is a very lightly sweetened beverage with plenty of fragrant flowery flavor emanating from the osmanthus. It's a really clean flavor, not quite grassy, but somewhat green in essence, coming with just a slight astringent bite towards the finish. It's a good, clean iced tea. (4/5) Da Hong Pao Tea Latte ($7.50) - This latte has a nice strong balanced nutty flavor. I saw the barista pour milk into the cup up to maybe 3/4 full, so I'm surprised that the tea flavor is so strong in this drink. The milk adds tons of body but doesn't contribute an overwhelming dairy flavor. They add a lot more sugar syrup into this drink - it's probably equivalent to 75% sweet or so at a boba shop, although it's not harsh at all due to likely being pure cane syrup instead of fructose. (4/5) The tea quality at Chaco is pretty good. It's always nice to see a cafe (rather than a tea shop) with such great variety! The major downside - pricing is really high especially for some of the premium teas. It's like double the price of actual tea shops in Seattle. I guess that's the Seattle Center tax?
