Caffè Umbria

I stopped by this cafe on a Saturday afternoon after seeing cute pictures of it. I really enjoyed the decor and space. They had lots of seating and even a couple tables outside. I think it would be a great place to sit and get some work done. There was also this couple sitting by us who was doing a crossword together and I thought that was really cute and added to the cafe vibe. The drinks were subpar, unfortunately. We did come around the time they were closing so maybe they were rushed a bit? But my matcha latte tasted like milk and the honey oat latte my friend got was missing the creaminess that lattes usually have. Over all I wish the drinks were better, but I would be willing to try again since the atmosphere was so cute!

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

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.

Amazing lattes! I ordered vanilla lattes several times during my stay, and Caffe Umbria had my favorite!Very convenient walk in coffee shop with friendly staff if you are in the area. Some seating area inside to relax. Very good pastries and scones. I got a chocolate croissant and an orange scone that were both very tasty!

I visited Caffè Umbria recently in search of the perfect coffee to drink the morning of my wedding with my whole bridal party. I immediately loved the atmosphere and was kindly greeted by the person behind the counter. I loved the freestanding tables I could set my items on while I waited for my coffee to be prepared. Once my coffee was ready, they clearly called out my order and I grabbed my drink and the (optional) lid they had sitting for me on a plate. I didn't spend much time drinking my coffee inside the cafe, but it was very beautiful and peaceful. I can confidently say I found my "wedding day coffee"!

The Italian son of a coffee man who was in charge of the place when I was there literally made my day. He turned gray sky into blue. He was genuinely kind, and in that kindness was sociable and present, not just with me but with everyone who came in. He gave me a new lease on this day I have in front of me. Thank you, kind man. Plus, the place is clean and aesthetic, and the goods are good. A clean, well-lighted place.

I love Caffè Umbria's coffee, gelato, and food offerings. Their seasonal fall drinks are by far my favorite of any Seattle coffee shop. Their pumpkin spice actually tastes like pumpkin, and their cardamon maple is the most "fall" tasting drink I've had in my life. This location has a wonderful patio and ample indoor seating with a variety of options. The cafe is spacious, and the standing tables by the coffee bar so you can wait on your drink is a great idea and I wish more coffee shops did this. The low rating is due to the service and staff. I have very serious food sensitivities that can cause very serious medical issues if I'm not careful, and the staff treat my requests like I'm just being a finicky customer. On more than one occasion I have asked for nonfat milk, watched the barista use whole milk to make my drink, hear them announce my drink without specifying "nonfat," apologized to the barista for the misunderstanding and that the drink should be nonfat, and have them lie to my face and tell me it is as if I didn't just watch them use whole milk. At that point they generally double-down despite this, so I give up and leave, throwing the drink out once I'm far enough away. When I observe them using the right ingredients, they're my favorite coffee drinks. Yet... I have landed in the emergency room in the past from drinking lattes where I was lied to, so I can't risk it anymore and have to watch closely.I also should not have to disclose my very serious medical conditions and food sensitivities for my requests to be treated with respect.I have yet to get coffee here, which I've done often in the past 3 years I've lived in this neighborhood, and not be treated like an absolute nuisance and annoyance by the staff. The baristas always snarl at and snap at me, and sometimes they even talk/gossip about me amongst themselves right in front of me. I am the type to patiently wait for the cashier to be ready, make my order, pay, wait for my drink and leave without speaking, so there is absolutely nothing to warrant this. At one point I had to wear a medical device for a few weeks, and coming in and hearing them gossip amongst themselves about it while I waited for my drink was one of the most humiliating and demoralizing experiences. I just wanted a coffee. I get this is Seattle, and I'm not asking you to feign happiness or glee when you see me, but not being snarled at or gossiped about every time I come in would be nice. Zeitgeist are typically pretty rude to me, but at least they don't audibly mock me amongst themselves or constantly make my drinks with ingredients I can't have then lie to my face about it. Maybe Caffè Umbria's owners and management need to pay their employees more and treat them better so they aren't always so burned out and upset.That alone wouldn't normally deter me, I've been a barista and know what hard, thankless work it is, but combined with how often they don't honor my dietary requests? I just can't justify going anymore.

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.

I don't usually write reviews but it's ridiculous how each time I visited this cafe, my experience is not a 5/5. This is my second time here at this location and the coffee is good however the service unfortunately isn't. My boyfriend and I did feel welcomed as we felt rushed to order and the barista look like she didn't want to take our order both times we visited. I also asked questions about their menu and seasonal items but I felt like I was being talked to as I was dumb and didn't know what I'm talking about, hence why I'm asking questions in the first place. Your employees should welcome each customer and provide excellent service.

Westlake location employees need to be re trained.The male employee was talking so loud with other employees and it was very disturbing.They didn't say " Thank you" even though they saw customers are leaving.It is not their play ground.
