    Banana bread , chai vanilla almond milk latte
    Toshi L.

    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

    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.

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Realistically the deluxe is for 2-3 ppl to share if you're not huge dessert person. The ice cream is creamy and just the right texture. The presentation is really a showstopper. Had a few people ask what it was and turned a few heads on the street. The meringue and logo flag was a cute decoration but thrown away immediately since it was kind of in the way. I always see a line when I pass by but service is fast and they hand your dessert to you directly after ordering. There's no awkward mix-ups or other people taking your dessert which I like. Will be back at some point to try out their other flavors and for a smaller portion!

We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings. It made our visit this time very stifling.

My drink (red bean brown sugar latte) was obviously extremely sweet but it was pretty good with plenty of red bean. My one complaint is that they don't have boba straws, which is a bit baffling to me. Sure they don't technically sell boba but the red bean topping in my drink was constantly stuck in the straw because its so narrow! Seems like an odd oversight. I had to use a spoon to eat the red bean by itself at the end.

Since it was dinner I couldn't go full dairy chaos and just order cheese sticks and ice cream, so I added a sandwich to the mix. Good call -- the burger was honestly my favorite thing I ate, which surprised me given how hyped the cheese sticks are. Really loved it. The cheese sticks were fun though -- great cheese pull, very satisfying. The breading was a little plain on its own but with the sauce it worked well. I ate two and could only finish half the sandwich, so pace yourself. Soft serve after was a nice finish -- I got the seasonal flavor and enjoyed it. There's always a line but it moves quickly. Service is fine -- fast food vibes but maybe a notch friendlier. Seating inside and outside fills up fast so grab a spot when you can. Very casual overall. Worth the visit if you've been seeing it everywhere -- just don't sleep on the burger.
