Otherwise known as how a lot of the comic Con attendees started their day. The cafe menu is fairly basic but their drinks are well made. I was a barista and I still make my own coffee, despite having visited cafes around the world. Definitely stop here rather than Starbucks. They also have pastries and a few lunch and breakfast sandwich type options. Lots of outside seating read more

Espresso Caffe Dior - Best way to start the comic con day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Not friendly lady working the cash register. Over priced premade sandwich that didn't taste good.

Charged me $13.95 for a sandwich marked on the menu as "$3/$5" and "with tax". My companion says this is the most undrinkable coffee they've ever had, among other things ("this coffee tastes like it has hand sanitizer in it" was a highlight). DO NOT go here. read more

When I ask them for the WiFi password, they mislead me into believing that offered WiFi. I purchased my coffee based on that belief. I think it is your decision to weather support a business like this or not. read more

Caramel macchiato coffee and turkey cheese muffin were both delicious! Staff is kind and accommodating. Great service!!!

Bland coffee, unhappy, unfriendly woman took my order. Co-workers arguing with each other.

Person behind the counter is very rude and rushes you through the line without allowing you to complete the transaction on the ipad. Cappuccino was mediocre. read more

The reviews on Yelp are old; check out the reviews on Google and you will see a completely different story. The consensus is that the lady at the cash register is unfriendly to say the least--she is often rude and mean to many customers. I was there this morning for a quick coffee and pastry while at a conference at the convention center. The lady made a simple, honest error I'm taking my order--which can happen anytime and I don't mind it as long as we can just fix the error and move on. When I verbally pointed it out, she got overly nasty about it and refused to print out a new receipt that doesn't show the error. Plus, when I asked for an itemized receipt, not just a credit card processing receipt that does not display the list of items ordered, she simply refused my request and snapped at me! What's up with being so cranky? Was that such an unreasonable request? If your computer simply cannot print it out, do you have to be so mean about telling it to your customer? The coffee itself was watery-- free coffee at the conference tasted better. The ham and cheese croissant was straight from the fridge and was heated up in a microwave. For Seattle where you can get great coffee and excellent service everywhere, the whole experience was a big disappointment, as I wanted to support small business like this one. The old man who was a barista there seemed much calmer and friendlier though. read more

Located just inside the entrance off of Union, the people that run this joint are super friendly and smiley. On the way to work, I took a stroll through the park just behind the convention center then I decided to pretend like I was a convention-goer and bought myself a latte and a bagel. There's the basic selection of hot bevs and a variety of baked goods and others snack, clean seating out front. It's the kind of place that you know is owned by that guy behind the counter so he's pleasant and wants your business. I don't normally walk the way I happened to when I did, but I would come here again just to that nice service. read more

Great tiny little shop in the convention center. I stopped by and got a Milk Way coffee (Mocha w/ caramel & hazelnut) it was absolutely delicious. Although very sweet. The pastries were fresh and moist, as they should be. I will be stopping by again all weekend long! read more

Attending a conference held in the Washington State Convention Center, I was looking for a quick and simple breakfast option. My colleagues and I noticed the short line at the Espresso Caffe Dior, and decided it was fate! My friend got a bagel and I chose a mango smoothie. The restaurant also had some delicious-looking desserts. My $5 smoothie didn't take long to make and was really good -- tasted very fresh. I liked that I could see all the ingredients that went into it and see them make it. A good place to check out. read more

Really sweet couple working here- very kind and considerate. They don't have a lot of breakfast options but some good pastries and bagels and an excellent health dept rating, so that helps. Nice to see a genuine smile in the morning! read more

Yummy! Friendly, accurate service. I started by asking how their chai was, and I was grateful that the barista answered honestly: he responded that it was on the sweeter side, so I ordered it dirty with a shot of espresso. It tasted great! Creamy and frothy, definitely sweet, with little spice (though not as much as I normally like), and the espresso offered some bitterness that balanced out the flavor nicely. Wish they had more options for hot food, but if you want a sweet pastry they have plenty of variety. Would definitely come back! read more

Espresso Caffe Dior - a man standing in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Zero stars. No prices, coffee is disgusting. 11$ for ham & cheese croissant is a total ripoff. Avoid it.

This is my most favorite place to get a coffee in Seattle. I am very picky when it comes to my latte, and I tell you.. they just make it amazing every single time!!! I worked in the building for a year and 6 months so it means I've been getting my coffee there since 2016, the consistency is just on point! My last was just as great as the first time I ordered from them. The owner, John is also the nicest person you'll meet, very sweet and hardworking! As well as the other baristas working for him. They also have huge selection of pastries and sandwiches! I will miss my Torrefazione coffee now that I moved to a different job! All the best to this coffee shop!! read more

I was on location for a conference, and was running a little late. I am the type of person that needs a daily caffeine boost because life is hard and food is good. I was a little reluctant to go to this "mom and pop" kind of shop, but overall I'm glad I took the chance. Banana bread was ok. Not as great as it could have been though :( It came wrapped in some type of polyvinyl chloride wrap, which many people use for food and non food purposes. However, that made me a little suspicious as to the freshness of their food. Perhaps that was why the banana bread was not as amazing as other foods I'd purchased from different cafés. I got a grande caramel macchiato and it was positively amazing. Italian coffee beans were strongly contrasted by the caramel, but the coffee itself did not lose any of its delicious characteristic despite this beautiful, intricate dance in flavor. I came again the following day, entranced with the flavor. However to my infinite dismay, the coffee had lost its powerful flavor and was replaced by something far less fun; a pale imitation of other coffees, to say the least. In the face of this terrible tragedy that has destroyed my trust despite bravely combatting the winds and rains of a stormy Seattle, I am sad to say that perhaps time has not been an ally of this place. It is difficult to properly rate such a café, but from two experiences I can say that I have been both thoroughly amazed and disappointed, although my disappointment does stem from my preconceived notion that the coffee may be the same. Perhaps the nice coffee making man may have been having an "off" day, or perhaps he had just one "good" day. Regardless, I have a mixed opinion, although I am leaning towards a negative association. While I rate this café 3 stars, you can assume from preliminary exposure that this may be a 4 star café. Please proceed with caution and an open mind. Somehow simultaneously. read more

Cute little cafe just inside the Washington Convention Center, it saved the day a few mornings when I was in a hurry to get into the convention area, 4 floors up. The service was pleasant and quick, and the coffee was piping hot and yummy! Espresso Caffe Dior also sells morning breads such as croissants, bagels, rolls, and muffins, and some baked goods. The lines move quickly, and you can grab and go fairly easily. There are some seats and tables outside of the Cafe but mainly this is a place where you grab your items to go. read more

Serving coffee with a personality of 2×4. C'mon man, youre in Seattle. Try to learn something from Starbucks. Everything is wrapprd in plastic. What the hell? Kinda reminded me of my Korean mom back in the seventies who covered our entire sofa set with a clear plastic. Lol. By the way, I ordered a turkey sandwich and they give me a pre.wrapped sandwich from the glass case. So, I said I like mine made fresh. Lol. The son gave me somewhat irritated look and told his mom to make one fresh in Korean. Well, she ended up wrapping it a plastic plastic before handing it to me. I guess old habits never change. read more

Try the Molasses cookie and Hazelnut Latte! I'm not a coffee drinker, so the owner was kind enough to help me choose a drink that didn't have an overpowering coffee flavor. read more

I'm visiting my sister in Seattle from Phoenix. I'm staying at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Seattle and decided to do a little coffee-exploring this morning. I walked into the convention center and found this gem! The gentleman working the register and making the coffee was so sweet and kind! I got the Milky Way coffee and it is perfect! Not as sweet as you'd expect which is fine for me. I'll be back again next time I visit! read more

You know how sometimes you think "I could make this myself?" Well, I have made these myself. At 2am, when I'm making the easiest thing possible. $7 for a sandwich you won't enjoy. Ripoff. read more

Espresso Caffe Dior - Great find! Original recipes, far your typical biz caffeine stop. The Milky Way latte (pictured) is incredible! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

The cashier was trying to put tip on our purchase without giving us the option to. He was hoping we would walk away and not notice so he can put the tip himself but my husband was able to catch him in the act. Management, please make sure to train your staff to avoid these scams. read more

Ended up finding this place by accident after getting some crepes at La Creperie Voila (which is excellent, see review). Visiting from San Diego and being in Seattle, I wanted some good coffee. I got a small cappuccino and probably the best cappuccino I had during my short visit in Seattle. The foam on the cappuccino was creamy and melded with the espresso so nice. The espresso was strong and smooth and I enjoyed every sip. I don't know about the food there but the cappuccino was wonderful!! read more

Cute little coffee shop tucked away inside the convention center - the last place I would normally expect a unique and local coffee shop - but this is Seattle :). They have a couple of really good unique drinks, like the Milky Way Mocha which is creamy and delicious. read more

thought I'd grab a quick coffee and danish. Friendly enough staff, good service, and the coffee was good, but I discovered (after taking a bite) that my wrapped cheese danish had blue mold on it. He replaced it quickly enough, but seriously...mold? No thanks, you can do better in Seattle--go elsewhere. read more

This is a small cafe at the entrance of the convention center. They made me a fresh veggie sandwich an as I'm eating it, the barista walks over to me with a glass of water. It's as if he read my mind! That's really nice service! Food was a 4 for its cateogry (quickie cafe) and service was a 6. read more

Was looking for a quick bite to eat close to the convention center and decided to hit this place up because it's conveniently located on the 1st floor close to the entrance of the convention center. Very short wait, ordered a toasted bagel with butter and an iced tea. The iced tea was fresh brewed and fantastic. The bagel was nothing special, but did it's job. read more

The owner was such a great person, very smiley and willing to help. The coffee was delicious as well. We tried the hazelnut latte and the hazelnut macchiato and both were well made, very fresh. The sandwich looked prepackaged but ended up tasting very fresh. Great place overall in the convention center. read more

Points for cleanliness and friendliness. My danish tasted like it came from Sam's Club. Yuck! My latte was meh. This is located just inside the front doors of the Washington State Convention Center. read more

first time i step into downtown convention center and i saw small coffee shop that crowded with many of people waiting in line to get a coffee and foods or others. But the most amazing things were everyone in lines knows all the employees and they were so closed together and i though everyone was all friends to eachothers. However, i was next and i ordered the coffee and they're young two beautiful students were helping me. They were very kind and very polite for everything. i felt i was the boss in this cafe. even the boss came up to me and sed hi and talking to me very friendly and gentlely. I think this is why there are many customers are here because all the workers knows how to treat customers right and polite. read more

Super friendly staff. Had a delicious bagel and the coffee smelled really delicious. Would definitely go back for coffee when I'm less caffeinated. A must stop for breakfast at the convention center. They also have cool and reasonably priced cards. read more

They make a great flat white and their cheese Danish is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Excellent cappuccino at perfect temperature prepared by very friendly gentleman. Seattle drizzly gloom GONE! read more

Tried the Milky Way latte, awesome choice. Always fast and friendly service, I work close by and it's very convenient.

Convenient only because I had to use the restroom down the hall. Overpriced...$3.10 for an 8oz Mocha. Nothing special about the place.
