    Had a flat white here and the coffee was good! I think the beans were maybe a little over roasted or the blend they were using that day was just a darker roast than my preference, but the ambiance is so cute! Would definitely come back another time to try more options.

    They charged me for sugar substitutes if you ask but they have single packets out, so I don't know why I was charged. Anyways, the location is nice. The coffee is good. It's a journey to get to the restroom. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    My impression: Classic Italian café vibes at Caffè Umbria. The cortado was smooth and balanced, with just the right ratio of espresso to milk. The americano had a rich body and clean finish -- bold without being bitter. A great spot for a quality coffee break for travelers/locals!

    I went there on a weekday for lunch. The people are really nice and want to help you. When I found that they did not have enough veg choices, they suggested neighboring places. It was very kind of them..I visited the places and came back. Ordered chick pea based sandwich and chocolate macroon. The couch puts sandwich was ok /good; but small in size.The macroon was tasty. The outside view of the pioneer square was nice.

    Interior set up

    Food was standard for a coffee shop nothing super standout but quality was good. Service was a little slow but they did the best they could considering there was a pile up from Sunday Car gathering. Interiors are basic industrial coffee shop with touches here and there to make it warmer. To save on waste they offer ceramic plates and mugs for dining. 3 star bc my coffee could have been hotter. I will be back.

    Orange Currant Scone + Lavender Latte
    Dana S.

    I stopped here during my bus/train layover in Seattle. I came in just after 9 and must have missed the rush hour because it was pretty quiet. The interior is very spacious with lots of seating, and it looked clean. The barista that took my order was very friendly and gave me a very in-depth answer to my question about one of their specialty drinks, which I appreciated. I got an orange currant scone and a lavender latte. The scone was gluten free and had kind of a grainy texture but not in a bad way. The flavour was great. The lavender latte was pretty sweet but I liked how strong the lavender was, and it was really good coffee. Good choice for a quick coffee and bite.

    Relaxed coffee shop. Less than friendly servers. Spendy. Lukewarm cappuccino. Varied reading material. Zeitgeist across the street is better.

    Affogato

    Pistachio gelato affogato was creamy and delicious. The espresso at Cafe Umbria is top notch. The staff is friendly and well versed. The cafe is cute and cozy

    Dirty chai latte
    Gab G.

    Stopped in here for a pick me up after an event at Lumen and had a solid dirty chai latte. Plenty of seating and friendly baristas. They've got a few locations around the city; this one is conveniently located near the stadium complex.

    I began my day in search of a place with a good vibe. My goal was to find a chill cafe to sit and journey into the bowels of Postgre SQL. And I found the best local cafe in seattle, located in pioneer square, close to all major forms of transportation! The noise level was well meshed with ambient background music and there was ample seating for any size group. In addition, the decor was unique and futuristic and showcased different forms of art and technology as a store layout style. Ohh btw, do yourself a favor and try the Cardamon Maple Latte with almond milk. I promise you won't regret it! Overall, I would give this cafe a 10 out of 10! Not to mention, the customer service was exquisite! Soleil and Naomi helped me decide which drink to pick based upon my mood! Out of all the cafes in Seattle Caffe Umbria has the best vibe and product selection. The only downside are their operation hours, I wish they could stay open longer.

One visit was earlier in the morning, and the place was packed. The line was nearly out the door. The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature.

The employees are also friendly and helpful. Prices here are a bit steep, but drinks are high quality.

Vietnamese coffee is typically made with robusta beans, which have higher caffeine and a heavier, almost thick mouthfeel compared to arabica. I ordered their Hanoi Egg coffee and also their Kettle Corn coffee, from the server's recommendations. I found myself noticeably surprised by how there was bittnerness, but it was not too harsh. There were some also some chocolatey undertones in the Egg Hanoi, with the egg pudding. I would have preferred less ice, less egg pudding and more drink. Overall though, it did not take away the flavor for me. As for the vibe, there was Kpop music playing in the background when I visited and multiple tables already occupied from people working on their laptops or sitting down to talk. The aesthetic is minimalist chic - steel tables with that warehouse feel. They do not have pastry options so don't come hungry! This is the spot to go to if you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a post-meal drink.

Drink: (4/5) I was headed to a date nearby but was a bit early so I decided to check out Plus 84 for the first time. As a good baseline, I decided to get the Hanoi egg coffee. I also just visited Vietnam in April where I had lotss of egg coffee so I was really excited to try it back home. For starters, the coffee here has great depth. It's sweet but not overbearingly so. It also has that caramelized note that I usually look for. I'd just say that I wish their egg cream had more flavor. At least in the drink I had, the cream seemed more for texture since it didn't have much flavor by itself. I still enjoyed it though and would definitely get it again. Service: (5/5) Super kind people and I barely had to wait for my order. Other notes: If you're new to Viet coffee, please do not chug it or drink it in one sitting. It is powerful stuff. It's the kind of drink you leisurely sip on!

The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

I ended up ordering a matcha latte with brown sugar syrup (half sweet) and a gruyere pull apart pastry. My friend got a regular latte with brown sugar syrup and the scallion pull apart pastry. I also bought a bag of their Morning Sun coffee beans as a souvenir, and the cashier mentioned how it was one of her favorite blends to drink and gift! That reassured me about blind buying. My matcha latte was pretty good. It had an added earthiness from the brown sugar syrup. Though it wasn't as green as the matcha lattes I'm used to drinking back in SoCal, it wasn't bad! However, I think I would skip the gruyere pull apart pastry next time. I usually don't mind gruyere in savory pastries, but this one was especially greasy. The scallion one my friend got was much tastier and a lot lighter - I'd recommend that one over the gruyere one. If I were to come back to Seattle, I'd love come back and try a sweet pastry and a different espresso drink.
