Cafe Allegro

I got a latte here which was pretty good - not the absolute best but good. The location and ambience is the best part of this coffee shop though.

This place is like a hidden gem in Seattle. One of the oldest , or perhaps the oldest cafes , it has a really old design that celebrates history in all it's glory! Great food and Hot Chocolate !

Really old coffee shop , but the quiches are delicious, the OJ is fresh squeezed and the coffee is strong and tasty

I've been going to this place for 40 years. The coffee is great but they no longer have the fruity-oaty "mazurkas" that I crave. Nobody else does, either. Cortado FTW.

Of course their coffee is amazing, but their chai is to die for. It's so spicy and yummy.

Good coffee , tasty croissants . A good place to work if you are ok with moderate sound levels. Not too many outlets .

First espresso shop in town , blah blah blah. A little slice of old Seattle. Pay cash, save some dough and f*ck the credit card processors

Sit upstairs if you're looking to get some work done. It's usually a lot more quiet .

Artistic environment, great coffee , and relatively quiet place for reading and studying!

Buy the prepaid coffee card. You spend less money in the end by not being tempted to purchase more and you don't have to worry about the card surcharge.

Law School is just a stone throw away, this place kept me awake during the finals. Great place, even better coffee .

True Seattle flavor, one of the last bastions of how this town used to be, funky and cool, a bit flouncy with erudite wit and wisdom -but isn't that what coffeehouses are supposed to be?

Great coffee . Very quiet & studious atmosphere.

Impressed. Don't have liquid sugar for iced coffee but melted some for me with steam!

Delicious mocha and reasonable sizes!!

An 8oz coffee is a nice small boost for when you need to get back to hacking after dinner (but not stay up all night)

White mocha is pretty solid.

air a little thin ... jazz .. parrots...there's something they're not telling us. good coffee .

Great Americano . Backroom a bit odiferous.

The best latte on the Ave, hands down.

Apparently Seattle's oldest coffeehouse , their mezzo mezzo is worth trying

"Oldest coffee shop in Seattle." It's hidden in the alley !

Like they have wonderful coffee

At my retreat in the alley

Entrance is off the alley paralleling University .

The upstairs is closed for renovation! Rats !

Find the staircase and go upstairs. Alas, you cannot smoke there any longer, But enjoy the extra seating and silence regardless.

Mochas from heaven

I love the ice latte of Allegro. Unfortunately, the view shut out by new building!!!!

Go to the second floor. It's less crowded and WiFi is way faster.

Love their iced almond latte

Strong coffee , awesome pastry . Agreed on the marionberry croissant .

Sit upstairs

Seattle's first coffee shop .

Play nice. Don't hog tables.

The BEST almond croissants in seattle.

Nice quite place for an afternoon.

The marionberry croissant is decadent.
