Caffè Torino - Seattle

I love this place! I come all the time. Cannot get enough. Great coffee, food, and employees.Food: 5/5

Went into this place after hitting a workout. We weren’t sure if it was open. But saw some people in there and were happy it was. Very clean. The inside was super cute. The manager made me an excellent coffee. I also noticed sandwiches and she toasted it. Let me tell you!!!! Get a sandwich. Soooo good!

UPDATE 2023: They have cleaned up their front but I am only moving this from 1 star to 3 because the women who typically works/makes the drinks is very nice I live very close to this café, I’ve actually had coffee here. The coffee is not bad… But over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a few things, one of which being that this disgusting trash pile never goes away.It’s hidden by a fence so when you walk into the café you don’t see it but if you walk past the café (which hardly anyone goes this way) you would see this. And from my time in the industry there’s only one thing this much trash, food debris and over all disgusting lack of business best practices can mean…rats.The other thing I’ve noticed is how often the owners sit outside and smoke while the girls who work and do the real work inside are slammed with out the door customers. Good for them hopefully they get good tips but that being said the owners seem negligent and to have VERY low standards on …cleanliness? I mean how do you let it get and stay this bad?! ?

Popped in here on a whim and the place did not disappoint! I wasn't sure what I wanted, so I asked the barista what they would recommend. She recommended a Honey Lavender Latte and it tasted great!! The barista was extremely kind and even asked for my thoughts on the coffee afterwards. The cafe has a really solid vibe on the inside and I would definitely recommend checking it out!

If you see that the croissants are still sitting on the baking sheet fresh from their oven, buy a couple. One of the few shops that actually bakes their pastries fresh instead of getting from a wholesale bakery and the freshness shows. Their raspberry croissant fresh and hot from the oven is the best pastry I've ever had.
