    I stopped by caffe ladro to study with a friend! I know there are multiple locations around seattle and i've been curious to try this place for a while. I thought it was just okay in terms of the atmosphere and drinks. I ordered the 12oz medici ($7.17) which is their orange mocha! It was one of their signature drinks and the cashier let me know it was on the sweet side. I thought it tasted quite smooth and had good flavor but I thought it was a bit expensive. Also my friend got the matcha and we both agreed it just tasted like milk! The almond loaf was also just okay. I wouldn't say this particular location is the best to study at since it's quite small. It gives me more of a "quick stop" vibe though there were other customers that lingered to chat or also do work.

    Such a great variety of drinks including the energy drink Lotus spritzers! A little bit on the expensive side but service was amazing and loved the pastries as well.

    Caffe Ladro has multiple locations across the greater Seattle area and this one is in the Ravenna area near the Roosevelt light rail station. There is no private parking lot but there is street parking in the area. The inside of the store is very nice with many indoor tables as well as outdoor seating. I ordered the tall iced latte ($4.55) which was good and was nice to sip on in the morning while sitting on one of the lawn chairs outside (specifically, they're Adirondack chairs). The staff was very nice and this is a nice coffee shop in the neighborhood. They also have free wifi so it's a nice place to get some work done.

    Hmmm ube bread loaf (4/25/21)

    Seattle's Ravenna and Roosevelt neighborhoods have a large concentration of indie cafes and coffeehouses. It took me nearly two years to finally visit this Caffe Ladro location on NE65th (4/25/21). It is near Roosevelt High School, smack dab in concentrated condo land. You can't miss it with the bright Adriondack seating out front. It was nice to be reacquainted with Caffe Ladro. Dropped a lot of caffeine green back in the 1990s at the Queen Anne and Capitol Hill sites. Just not the same feel though visiting the Bothell and Lynnwood spots. This Ravenna location was bright and welcoming. Clearly the barista at the counter was well established and knew her regulars. I was greeted with that same effervescence. I appreciated that versus pretentious, hipster nonsense noted at other cafes. Thankfully, that pretty much got eradicated during the C19 pandemic. Genuine, friendly demeanor goes far in today's world. I decided to try a Gibraltar but couldn't decide between the espresso chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookie. Took the recommendation of the uber friendly barista and got the latter. All the bright outdoor seating was taken, so sat at the counter area with expansive, large windows. Love natural light! Whether outdoor or indoor, their seating configurations are inviting. Definitely experienced an on point chocolate chip cookie with the perfect foil having The Gibraltar. I did end up buying that last wrapped slice of espresso chocolate cake too. The Homie gobbled most of it, but I managed to snag a generous bite at home. A special thank you to fellow Yelper, Andrea O for constantly steering me to revisit spots for specific baked treats and desserts. Mille grazie! Well crafted coffee beverages and satisfying baked goods, kudos to Caffe Ladro going strong after all these decades! Truly enjoyed this Ravenna stop.

    Cafe Ladro has some of the best coffee in the city, however the last few times I've been in my vanilla latte has been over $10. Wish they had more gluten free options!

    Love the interior vibe!

    Checked out the new Caffe Ladro location in late June and loved it! First, I feel like each Ladro location kind of has a unique vibe and I really like the tiling on the floor at this location, not to mention the comfy chairs on the left (when you enter) and the nice plants too! The service was friendly and I enjoyed my iced latte outside in the sun (while utilizing one of the plentiful Adirondack chairs that they have!) The outside area is a bit noisy and not SUPER relaxing (due to being located on a major street) but it's still a nice place to chill and people watch Other things to note: There is a complimentary water pitcher. I didn't order any food but I believe they had several options in the glass case. The restroom is a single occupancy restroom but no code needed. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and I'll definitely be back!

    Coffee was alright. Barista guy seemed irritated, ready to get off work, and made sure everyone knew what time they closed.

    I was excited to come here and enjoy some simple tapas and speak Spanish with my family. I love…read morethe concept, and the intent. The service was also great, considering there were many people and only one server. The coffee was good and people were all making an effort to speak Spanish, which I very much appreciated. The tortilla de patata, was also fine. That was the good. Overall, the food, as simple as it was, was really, really dissapointing. First, they rely exclusively on a microwave and a toaster oven. This should probably mean they serve only a few premade pastries and maybe come fiambres and call it a day. But I did not realize this when I ordered churros con chocolate for the whole family. Instead of having freshly fried churros - the only way to serve these, and the only way you will ever have them in any cafeteria in Spain - they preheated some pre-baked abominations along with a schmear of cold fudge sauce in a saucer. For a place so infatuated with Spain to serve something so wholly inauthentic really surprised me. Is it that hard to make chocolate a la taza? Is it that hard to have a frier and serve up some fresh churros? That's what we thought we were getting.... The ensaladilla was also a poor imitation of a Spanish classic, with mostly mayo, hardly any tuna, and punctuated with a smattering of pale peas. Even the pan con tomate, jamón y queso was bad. I confess that I've never understood the Catalan tendency to grate tomato on bread for these montaditos, but Ole doesn't even do that. Eschewing this easy opportunity to use a fresh ingredient, they squeeze some cold tomato sauce on a slice of toast instead. Almost as bad, the jamon serrano they use is cold and presliced (meaning that the salt is brought to the surface of the meat), instead of room temperature like jamon needs to be, rendering it dry and hard instead of warm and tender. In short, Ole cuts corners at every turn, relying on premade dishes for nearly everything, a decidedly un Spanish approach to food. Seattle desperately needs an authentic little Spanish cafeteria where folks can get good, simple freshly made tapas made with love. This place doesn't even try. With all that being said, if you want a good coffee and to be surrounded by people who love the language, Ole offers this. And that's pretty good too..

    Little cafe with a novel concept. This is a 100% Spanish language business. Step inside and…read moreyou're teleported half way across the world into a little Spanish bar. You hear and read only Spanish, and if you're well versed in the language, you will spot everywhere the signs of Castilian Spanish from Spain. Watching people struggle a little bit ordering drinks and tapas brought back similar memories from travels to Spain with one big difference. Here, the owner is also a Spanish teacher (there was a class in session in the back room while I was there), so she helps you through the experience without breaking the spell by resorting to English. It wouldn't be fair to comment on the food barely 24 hours after opening. We'll see how that develops. Their intention is to provide a rotating selection of Spanish tapas. They have no kitchen, but neither do many Spanish bars. The beauty of classic Spanish tapas (jamón, queso, boquerones, pan, aceitunas, etc.) is they don't require cooking. The key is quality ingredients and as they say in Spain, "poca floritura." Olé café is the perfect remedy for Spanish nostalgia. As I stepped outside and returned to Seattle, USA, I marveled at how small our world has become.
