Caffe Ladro Upper Queen Anne

Caffe Ladro has a bit of an underdog vibe, a coffee shop that opened up right next to the world-famous Starbucks. The name means “coffee thief” in Italian, a tip of the hat to the courage it took to challenge the big coffee franchise. With high-quality beans from carefully sourced farmers in major coffee-growing regions, Caffe Ladro strives to provide premium coffee and espresso on a consistent basis. The coffee shop has a dimly-lit, rustic feel to it that adds to the friendly environment, making it one of the best places to grab a coffee in Seattle.

Ladro arrived in 1994, when Seattle was riding a flannel-wearing, Frasier-watching wave that crested with its burgeoning coffee culture. Today, 16 understated locations offer a reliable network of exacting coffee. Caffe Ladro (Ladro Roasting) is an iconic Seattle coffee brand with 15-plus cafes around town. The location on Pine is a short walk from Pike Place Market, making it one of the most popular locations. They always have a lighter single-origin roast on tap from a farm that Ladro owner Jack Kelly has visited on his annual pilgrimage. Ladro bakes its own pastries and always has uniquely crafted coffee drinks on the menu, such as Medici, a mocha with fresh orange zest.
