I love this little cafe soooo much! Its right near my work and they are the best around. The coffee and food is all delicious and fresh. On top of that the service is a+++. They are so sweet and friendly and never once have gotten anything wrong or forgotten a single detail. Gem of this neighborhood! Give them a visit and support this superb local business!

Pleeeease do yourself a solid and admire the beautiful lamination of these pastries. So light, so airy, so many layers. Someone works their tail off to bring you this lovely bit of heaven. The Lavender honey latte is also the perfect amount of sweet and bitter.

The ham panini with cheese and carmelized onions was awesome!!! Will be back to try more and get another one of those. Was able to sit and eat inside during COVID which was nice on a rainy day

Love this place! The barista and staff are all really nice and the drinks are consistently good. They do a great job keeping the pastries and food covered, which is an extra bonus.

Caffe Torino is the best cafe in all of Seattle, and in my opinion, the best locally owned business in the whole state! The staff is friendly and extremely helpful when it comes to picking out the perfect drink and food to fit your taste buds. My favorite items are the chocolate croissants and cold brew, but they have such a large variety including coffee cake, biscotti, sandwiches, and much more! To make things even better, their prices are very affordable for the amazing qualify. I am so happy I found this place!!

I quite like this place, but I have to admit part of its appeal is its proximity to my residence. Ive never been blown away but also never disappointed by the food here. Its a nice little hangout that I would happily frequent again.

I paid eight dollars for a Salami sandwich and it was worth every penny. Friendly and helpful staff, a relaxing environment, and amazing food. This place has it all.

As someone who has tried many different coffee shops in the Seattle, I highly recommend this place! Their coffee is wonderful, lots of different pastries/ sandwiches to choose from, and they even offer wine as well! This is a great hidden gem if youre in the SLU area.

Delicious cappuccino and croissants at Caffè Torino.Very friendly staff eager to help.Location is a plus, close to busy South Lake Union, but keeps low-key charm.Update 07/30: OMG! Speachless after having a first ever sip of Bicerin, Caffe Torrino speciality drink...

I placed order online and it was canceled today 03/16/2021. And another was cancelled few months back, said because they have a big order. I think if they cant take orders better remove it from there website. Just maybe take over the phone and in person. Why wasting peoples time?

Ordered a triple Americano and we got a watered down abomination. I brought it up to another barista and he went out of his way to calibrate the machine and remake the drink. The remade America was fantastic.

Review №23

This is a great place - outdoor seating so when the weather is nice you can enjoy it. Yale is a quiet street so you dont have to deal with traffic. Plus, they put out samples of their incredibly tasty pastries! They have savory patties, too - both meat and vegetarian options. The place isnt cheap (up to $5.50) for those savory pastries, but the quality is there.

A nice little place on Yale. I go in to pickup orders. They do coffees, pastries, and heated sandwiches. Nice quite vibe with indoor and outdoor seating options. Blocks away from the park. Its a popular place, but its never too crowded when I go.

Really disappointing. Only ordered one drink and one parfait, the latter took forever (just to put yogurt and fruit in a cup). I had also asked if it was Greek yogurt, was told yes, only to get home to find otherwise. I was annoyed but not enough to post anything until I found a hair deep in my cup.

Cant say enough about their hospitality.Came in for the for the first time and ordered a 12 oz mocha. I got it and walked to one of the bar height tables. After setting my drink down I climbed into the tall chair -- my knee colliding with the table leg in the process. The drink, not having a lid, sloshed wildly. Spilling in my lap, over the table, and on the floor.They replaced the drink and the wet pastry, cleaned my phone will I cleaned myself up in the restroom. Then, when someone else accidently left with my replacement mocha they made me a third one!Today certainly wasnt one of my 5 star days but they earned all 5 for taking care of me today. Ill definitely be back! Thanks guys. 😊

Great little place, great coffee, coffee educated Baristas, various experimental flavors. You wont be disappointed. They usually have only one person doing all the work so it can get slow sometimes. Also their food is great - some healthy salads and sweets.

Nice little hang out. I go there weekly. I love their Italian soda. Their pastry is made fresh everyday. I like their chocolate croissants. They also have great panini sandwiches, my favorite is the Salami.

We just had the best vegan sandwich. I cant remember what its called but it has eggplant and pesto in it. Since we are not vegan, we added salami to it. So glad we stopped in for a snack. Also, the person that served us was super nice and informative.

Very good drinks and friendly staff. Fantastic latte made with perfection. The breakfast options were pretty limited, but the drinks made up for it. Staff was helpful. The atmosphere is kind of bland and fairly tight inside.

This review is long overdue. I went in during the snow “storms” super early in the morning and unfortunately the barista wasn’t able to make it in. Michelle, one of the bakers, was kind enough to help me out even though she didn’t know how to cash me out. She made me tea and offered me one of their pastries on the house. I really hope one of her managers sees this because she was the sweetest that morning and always is when I see her!

I appreciate this place for being open on the weekends. In this particular neighborhood, where the economy is driven by when Amazon is working, my otherwise favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood failed me, but good ole Caffe Torino was there. The drip coffee is Olympia Coffee Roasters, and while it wasnt a single origin it was okay.I will say, it doesnt appear that the food is being prepared there. Which isnt necessarily surprising, but take that into when getting something like a breakfast burrito.

I live right across the street and I go to this great little coffee shop all the time. The staff is friendly and the service is good. Most importantly, the coffee and breakfast items are good. I like the owner, hes a very nice, friendly Italian guy. I only wish they were open a little earlier on weekends.

Im a regular here and have never been disappointed with the coffee, even when I experiment with something new. The service can be a bit slow when its packed but thats normal. The staff are friendly and efficient, make excellent coffees and theres always nice music playing too - loud enough to enjoy, not loud enough to distract from conversations. This is a good place to get coffee and go, or sit down and enjoy it.

I work in the area and this was my go-to spot. Recently, the cafe has gone downhill. New employees arent keeping the place clean (dead flies, dead plants, crumbs, handprints) and seem inexperienced. My order has been forgotten 2x. Pretty disappointing to see a good spot in decline.

I just went to this place for the second time to pick up some food for my coworkers and myself and I have to say its great. Their food is really good. I especially love their eggplant panini: the eggplant is perfectly cooked and seasoned. As far as pastries go, I tried some of their plum cake and it was reaaaally good. Went great with a nice cup of coffee!The atmosphere is modern and comfy and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend this place for lunch as well as for a quick cup of coffee!

We had breakfast here while in Seattle. My wife and I walked in together, but the two dudes at the counter paid me no attention. They gladly took her order, and then wrongly thought that looking down and away would absolve them of serving me. Wrong. I loudly communicated my order, a ham and egg croissant and a coffee, wife had an egg and cheese on a croissant. They were ok, definitely nothing to get excited about, and seemingly in line with the local pricing for joints like this, which is moderately expensive. The interior is geared more towards an artsy crowd, hence the trendy prices. Based on the mediocrity of the food and the attitude of the two guys working the counter, Im probably not going to try this place again. Instead Ill head over to Nollies and get better food and happier service.

I ordered a sandwich from here off of uber eats. It contained two pieces if bread, one small onion, 2 small slices of cheese and 1 long slice of prosciutto. Tasted good.. while it lasted. Not impressed for the price I paid. It was mostly bread, but no sandwich!

Just ordered a prosciutto cotto panini from Caffe Torino. Not only was it just regular ham and not prosciutto the middle was cold as ice. The carmelized onions are sweated at most.... Dont call it a prosciutto cotto panini if its just cold ham and subpar onions. Awful
