Caffe Ladro - Fremont — Restaurant in Seattle

There are way too many great coffee shops within walking distance to warrant going to this sub-par establishment I tried their signature drink, caramel cream cold brew and sadly, it tasted very watery. Water was the main flavor, then a bitter cold brew taste... little to no signs of caramel at all. I ended up tossing it. We also tried the turmeric latte which to my surprise, had no sweetener whatsoever. It quite literally tastes like drinking something out of the back yard or garden. It was really gross.

It's worth mentioning I cannot stand drinks that are too sweet. A mild sweet flavor is preferred. But when your drink tastes like you're drinking mud, that's generally a bad thing. Although looking at some of the stores in Seattle I could see Thales catering to certain demographic.

Maybe if you're hyper allergic to things or live in fear of all consumables you might like this place. Otherwise I'd go across the street to Freemont coffee or all sorts of other...

I have no complaints about this place, and I view it as one of the best cafes in Seattle. The atmosphere here is absolutely serene and sophisticated: I went here around Halloween the first time, and there were a few decorations scattered about, but nothing tawdry or overbearing. The ambiance here is classy without being pretentious, the perfect place to come and work with your laptop or simply bask in the atmosphere and watch the rainfall outside. As a tea lover, I exalt the fact that there is an actual tea menu here, and not just one or two tea options among all the coffee options. I delighted in the refinement of a nice Earl grey and looked out at the rainy world outside the windows while eating an enormous glazed raspberry scone. If you are in Fremont,...

The coffee and scone were decent. The baristas were lacking in professionalism: 10 minutes after I had sat down, one of them came over and said to me, "you didn't pay." I didn't recognize him right away, and so I said "Pay for what?" because I had very much tapped my card and put in a tip amount. He said I hadn't paid for my items. Then the other barista came over and in a very snotty tone told me I hadn't paid and that I could check my bank statement (today is Sunday), and then proceeded to make me wait in line again to pay. She was rude at the register when I got there, too. Definitely won't be frequenting...
