    I had their breakfast sandwich-which is by far the best breakfast sandwich i've ever had. I live in NYC but their sandwiches are the besttt. Totally recommend!

    Turkey Breakfast Bagel Sandwich
    Madi S.

    We just stopped in since it was the closest breakfast to our gym that day, and just my luck because I just mentioned how I was craving a breakfast bagel sandwich! Well guess what they specialize in? Can I be honest though? The real winner was not the amazing, filling, carefully made turkey breakfast bagel sandwich! It was the people working there. The person I could only assume was a manager or owner? He greeted everyone behind me in line by name. He knew their usual orders! He was also kindly training someone all while doing this. Can't wait to stop here again :)

    Fantastic service! Super friendly and greeting most people by name and providing recommendations and chatting with everyone. Also dog friendly which is fantastic! The breakfast sandwich was great and my chai was really really good. I'd definitely come back, especially as it is pup friendly and has great reading light.

    There are so many indie cafes and coffeehouses in the greater Seattle area, no surprise it took me 20 years to checkout Cafe Argento on Capitol Hill. Open since 2004! I finally had a pleasant onsite visit on 2/19/24. Found nearby free street parking - a score while on Capitol Hill! Very welcoming barista who crafted one of the best mochas I've had in awhile. Adding to this fantastic visit was having a memorable chocolate chip cookie from the pastry case. I hung out awhile and took in the overall vibe. I liked the unique interior and variety of seating. Lots of details and fixtures that were eye catching. Decent music playing. The kindness and customer service I also observed from this barista assisting a blind customer - can we give this barista ten stars for going above and beyond? Definitely highly recommended! Just don't take 20 years to visit, lol.

    Great warm and cozy little cafe with great coffee and a solid breakfast bagel! I got the turkey egg and cheese with hot sauce on the side and it was the perfect ratio of ingredients. They don't have cold brew which is my preferred coffee but they did make me an iced americano which was good enough for me. Everyone there was super nice too!

    I was visiting some friends that live in Capitol Hill and was looking around on Yelp for a nice breakfast sandwich / bagel and coffee shop for breakfast after a night of drinking. I read the reviews and Cafe Argento looked promising. Sounded like they had popular breakfast bagels that everyone enjoyed along with their coffee. I was greeted by friendly workers and asked what the most popular bagel was and they said the breakfast with turkey and many people get it on a jalepeno cheddar bagel. I also got a latte with regular milk. They make the sandwiches fresh and you can see the smoke from the toasters, I had mine with hot sauce and it was so good. Lots of people were ordering bagel sandwiches to go too. Good flow of people, lots of people stayed to eat and chat and others just came and picked up. There's some street parking around, and air condition on a hot day!

    Best breakfast sandwich!

    Best breakfast sandwich in Seattle! I got the turkey breakfast sandwich on sesame bagel and it was amazing! Looking back at photos, they forgot to add red peppers in my sandwich as stated on the menu, but I hardly noticed as I was enjoying it at the park next door. I wish they sold their homemade garlic olive oil because I would definitely buy it! Coffee was ok, but the star is the breakfast bagel sandwich!

    The turkey bagel sandwich here is unreal. Comes out piping hot, cheesy and super delicious. The bagel is crispy but not burnt. Excellent service and cute interior with lots of character. The coffee could be better. It's not the best but decent. I got iced latte with oat milk. The coffee is a tiny bit sour. Yes I'll come back again and again for those legendary bagel sandwiches!

    A hot chocolate that is actually hot! Bonus points for non-diary whipped cream.

    I came here to spend a blissful hour alone on a rainy day. I was a bit peckish, so I got a samosa and a vegan hot chocolate. I like that I was able to get an eat-in mug, which makes for a nicer experience than a paper cup. Since I mention a particular temperature I want my drink, my hot chocolate came out actually hot, which was great. The samosa came with sriracha and olive oil with what I believe was garlic. It was two interesting choices for dipping the samosa, which made the overall experience much better than it would have been plain. The samosa was mildly flavored and much more bread-like than pastry-like. Overall it was just okay, but the portion size was generous and the ambiance was great. It is really cute inside which lovely light from the large windows. The toilets available to customers were clean, and the staff was friendly and efficient.

    Raspberry mocha (don't get!!)

    Their coffee has sucked everytime I've gotten it (twice), so please get coffee elsewhere. HOWEVER, their breakfast sammy's (the bagel ones) are SO GOOD HOLY!!!! I've gotten the turkey and veggie ones and they are just truly amazing. Such a good price point compared to other places in Seattle. Ambiance is also SOO cute inside to do work or just read. Workers are also very nice

    Is this a good place to spend a few hours working on your laptop? I worry about being unwelcome to take up space in smaller establishments, but I spend every weekend doing some work in a cafe and would like to expand my options.

    Yes! They have WiFi and cozy tables for working

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

They don't even fill it up to the rim of the cup. If I'm paying $10 I expect to get a good amount of coffee. I even ask the barista if she can fill up my cup further and she said sorry that that's the measurement. That's ridiculous. I'll go to Starbucks - at least I get my money's worth to some degree. Also, most of their specialty coffee drinks have dairy in it. So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options. They are pre-made mixes They have food but nothing vegan so if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, you're out of luck. The pastries look gross. I took one look at it and it definitely was not appealing to look at. It looked dry and it looked like the pastries have been sitting in the display case for weeks

I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it!

The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.
