This sounds so cliche but I’ve literally never written a review before. But the baristas are incredibly sweet and the chai actually kind of tastes like chai (hard to find). If you need a calm morning, go here.

Friendly service and great breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. Add the hot sauce for great flavor!

I love this place so much! I have been coming here about once a week, for 3 months. My go to is the hot chocolate and a veggie breakfast sandwich. Great food and service!

This place was amazing, I popped in after dropping my dog at daycare and the service was amazing. They greeted me as soon as I opened the door and pointed me to the menu. They made my bagel sandwich to order which was amazing and they even asked if I liked hot things and added hot sauce to my bagel, delicious!! So affordable. I'll definitely be back:)

Very cute vibes but the food is not that great. A lot of the pastries looked pre made. For what they are they are a bit expensive. They do give out free samples of soup prior to making a decision. I got the bagel with cream cheese and olive oil and it was a squishy bagel and the olive oil didn't seem to add much. Most likely wouldn't go again - there are far better coffee shops with better pastries in cap hill.

This place is really nice. It's got a great atmosphere plus the coffee is excellent. It's also affordable, unlike many of the other little coffee shops around town. The people that work here are friendly and welcoming. I think I have found my favorite coffee spot!

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.

I ordered a dirty hot chai with oat milk and it was not good. Tasted like they added drip coffee mixed with minimal chai concentrate. The veggie bagel was good! However, the way they cook their food was questionable. 2 microwaves and your home toaster on display. It was smokey in there and the ambiance was meh. I had to idle awkwardly while they prepped my drink. They'll hand it to you THEN you order your food and pay. Service was decent. Really wanted to like it given the reviews but likely won't be returning.

Great food (samosas, filled with warm spices and potatoes) good coffee (I had a flat white), customer service friendly over all a great environment to come and hang out in they have tables and Wifi. Also this is right around the corn from Liana so if you have an appointment there come here first for a coffee it's an all around win win situation.
Great food for a good price. Service is amazing. A little small for me space wise but will go again to pick up breakfast.

This is my first visit to a Seattle coffee shop, and I'm glad that I landed here on a Friday morning walk! Not only was the sandwich toasted to perfection, but the staff were so friendly. The corner shop exudes a cozy yet classy ambiance with beautiful chandeliers and soft jazz playing while you enjoy your spread. I am eager to come back!

staff very welcoming and patient, walked us through the entire menu with a friendly attitude. gave us great recommendations :) cozy cafe atmosphere is a plus too we got: turkey breakfast sandwich on an asiago bagel: very yummy, fresh made, filling but not too heavy. they accommodated our customizations to the sandwich perfectly chai: warm and yummy, right amount of spice and sweet white mocha almond latte: delicious! given by staff recommendation and we now recommend it to you, try it!!!! definitely on the sweeter side but you can adjust how you like. we cafe argento

I had some time to burn in the area and decided to stop in when I read they have vegan soup.The staff was so friendly as well as patient as I looked over the menu. I had soup with an onion bagel with garlic olive oil. (Heads up all the bagels do have an egg wash) The olive oil was incredible and really elevated the bagel.As I sat to enjoy the food, atmosphere and my book, I was struck by how friendly and personable the staff was to everyone who came in. They seemed to already know everyone’s order. The business was steady but no one seemed to wait long for their order.Really cool spot, looking forward to coming back.

This place is my favorite cafe. with an amazing selection of foods and drinks and lots of vegan accommodations. The food here is made with care and delicious. The costumer service is amazing as well. staff is extremely welcoming and even strive to learn your names and orders. it is a beautiful little cafe with nice seating and intriguing decor, a great space to get work done or talk with friends etc. i really recommend this place!
