"Great coffee in a nice space"
"Love this place"
""I literally can't even"
"The drinks are good but the service has been getting progressively poor! On the last two occasions that my friend and I visited, the servers had no clue about their drip coffee - whether they were warm/ready to serve or where they were from! In fact, one of these times, they were completely out of both the options and did not even know until we asked"
"The coffee is most excellent as are the snacks if you're hungry"
Great coffee in a nice space. Great for studying. The barista was very patient and very skilled. She handled a mass order like a champ. I am only visiting Seattle but if I lived here I would definitely come here more often. Worth a try! Also, they have an orange latte and I love that.

Love this place. One of the few coffeeshops downtown that's not Starbucks where you actually want to sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Nice furniture, modern but cozy. Tried their Medici today upon the recommendation of a barista friend-- it's basically a mocha with a long curl of orange zest at the bottom. Divine. I never thought I'd like citrus and coffee, but Ladro made me do it. The orange oils from the zest blends surprisingly well into the sweet, slightly bitter espresso. This medici + cloudy morning + glowing laptop = happy.
"I literally can't even." I got a hemp milk Gibraltar, & holy cow, the espresso is phenomenal. Alternative milk is hard to steam proper, & dang, proper this was. Dare I say, microfoam was on par, gurl. (!!!) Plus, the ambiance- I mean, you're playing Purity Ring, Little Dragon, & Grimes? I feel like Ladro is courting me. I've fallen hard. Plus, the baristas are kind, cute, & creative. It's a win-win situation. Too bad I don't live here to be swooned by the intangible idolatry Ladro does to my tastebuds every. single. day.
The drinks are good but the service has been getting progressively poor! On the last two occasions that my friend and I visited, the servers had no clue about their drip coffee - whether they were warm/ready to serve or where they were from! In fact, one of these times, they were completely out of both the options and did not even know until we asked. Not just that, even after my friend had to wait for 5 minutes to get a fresh batch ready, they did not have the common courtesy to offer him a free coffee!
The coffee is most excellent as are the snacks if you're hungry. It's a good spot to take a break for a minute and they also sell their beans, which they will grind for you if you need it to be done. The Medici is a good drink. Give it a try if you'd like a splash of orange in your mocha.

I have been coming to this place for the last 15years the coffee is great most people who work there now are all new but this morning something weird hapen to me they give my drink to two people who came after me it should be first come first serve but is not the first time this happen to me is the second time I think they should ask the name of the person because most of us in seattle drink latte very bad service
Loved it. Loved the espresso. Got the Medici espresso with mocha and orange zest and it was delicious! Not too sweet at all, which I was worried about. It had the slight bitter of espresso and the rich orange zest flavor and it was perfect. I LOVED the playlist of r&b but that's just me... I went up to add a shot to my drink to go and they gave it to me for free! Definitely coming back. Love Caffe Ladro.
I had a great cappuccino and croissant at this little coffee spot. It is clean and modern. It is trendy, but comfortable. The barista was efficient, yet friendly. The prices are fair. They don’t have the selection of drinks I am used to, but what they do have is well done. They also have whole beans and Keurig cups for sale.

The establishment is easy to locate. There is street parking around it, but if staying downtown is walkable to it. The place is small, but welcoming. The staff is friendly. The coffee is really good. Overall would recommend coming if you’re visiting Seattle.

I always walk past a few other coffee shops while I"m working downtown on my way to Ladro. Their coffee is worth going out of your way for. Wei and Quin are always extremely pleasant and customer service oriented - especially if you aren't sure of what you'd like to order. Great coffee shop all around!
This is a great little shop that serviced an excellent Cortado. If I remember right, that wasn't on the menu but a barista with any experience will be able to whip one up for you. Seating was minimal but I feel like this location gets more foot traffic. Service was excellent, with a friendly smile.
Good coffe, from the outside the place doesn’t look like a coffe shop, needs more signs, inside is also old dated furniture, dirty windows and floor, I suggest to the owner to improve those points and will do much better . Service good considering was a only girl working . Good luck
I was on a coffee tour and asked the barista if she could ground some coffee for me. She said that this was not a good time ! I explained that I was on a tour and would probably not come back. She didn't care and insinuated that I should just go back to my group!
Surprisingly quiet place in the middle of a busy downtown area. Definitely awesome coffee, good customer service, pastry was very good too. Good amount of places to sit and enjoy yourself. Definitely recommend! Cool location too, right next to an art gallery.
Though their roasting style isn't my personal favorite (I prefer stuff more toward the chocolate range of flavor), it's still great local coffee. The Medici (mocha+orange) is enough to bring me back here when I want something fancier than my usual macchiato.
After walking around pikes market I saw this little coffee place called Caffe Ladro . Amazing atmosphere and great service . Jesse was very nice and my coffee was amazing . It was a Saturday and a lot of people were there but I still got to
Excellent coffee, great baked goods selection, yummy savory sandwich!

Biggest tip for here: have the choc chip espresso cake warm. It's amazing! The coffee is better than average. They use a mild, sweet bean for espresso. The quiches are delicious. It's cute when the symphony musicians come in wearing tuxes.
Excellent coffee and friendly barista. Their coffee tasted do I much richer and smoother than the chain coffeefe shop. It was a lot better experience having real coffee and not just drinking down a coffee drink.
The mocha with almond milk was nearly flavorless. Not a good value at $6. I'll try anything twice so hopefully my next trip won't be my last. If you're visiting, play it safe and go to Fonte instead.
Coffee is good. Baked good options was very good as well. Stay away from any breakfast sandwiches. Not a cafe more of just a coffee shop at least for breakfast time. Good was quick and courteous!
My pre-order is always ready when I walk in the door

This place was a shining star in my dreary day! They only take cash but they make a great tea. They know you let the tea steep too. It's perfect in its ironic glory!!! Go here.
This is the best vanilla latte in Seattle. Fresh vanilla bean. Service is always over the top pleasant. Thanks Ladro!

Great coffee, great atmosphere but the coldbrew is not diluted so beware! This place has lovely local selections, perfect for a quick coffee break if you work downtown.
Really friendly & helpful staff, I'm lactose intolerant & they were very good about figuring out what I could have. Also highly recommend the oatmeal bar (its vegan!)
Very unique and pretty coffee shop by downtown train station. Good selection of local brews, and coffee was always cooked how we asked which is important these days
Literally not a single outlet anywhere so don’t try to do anything that requires charging your laptop. Took 15 minutes to get a small americano. No thanks.
I enjoy the coffee at all of the locations. Great for a quick stop but have also met business professionals. Most ppl tuned to be fine with cafe ladro.
Great place for casual meetings. The baristas take a while to warm up to you but it doesn't take long before they remember your regular order.
Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Good brewed coffee. The sourness flavor comes thru more prominently at room temperature which I prefer.
The house blend they use for espresso is mild and easy to drink in my weak americano. There is a wide range of pastries available too.
I've tried lots of coffee in the city and these guys make some great stuff! Very customer service oriented and incredibly nice staff!
Very good coffee and nice place.

Came in to buy some coffee grounds for a friend. I didn't order anything else for myself but the staff was friendly.
Super friendly barista, smooth flavorful latte, and comfortable seats. A downtown oasis on tourist crowded streets
damn good coffee. super friendly too! i would order less sweetener in my mocha next time, though.
Great coffee, warm environment, and very friendly staff. Great place to work and meet up!
Small place but comfy. 1 person in staff so it can get a little busy. But very enjoyable.
Typically an ok coffee shop except when they’re not open 10 min after their opening time.
Super slow on a Sunday. A very small seating area but really helpful and friendly staff.
Good coffee and tea but was not impressed with the croissants. Maybe it was an off day.
excellent and original place for coffee and other food, great downtown Seattle location
Good service. Quick, efficient service. Friendly staff. Most important....Good coffee.
Can't have coffee, so had chai tea, it's soso. The lower queen ann one is way better.
Currently the best non-fat latte in Seattle. Try the rhubarb bar. Friendly staff.
Quiet, spacious and with delicious coffee right around the corner from Pike Place
Perfect cortado. Thank you!

Great staff, quick service. Looking forward to my next visit!
Excellent cold brew and customer service at this location!
A small and cozy vibe makes this a special hangout for me.
Our main goto coffee run place. Great Arnold Palmers too.
Mediocre espresso, stale pastry and unpleasant service!
Small location but always great coffee and service.
