Caffe Migliore. — Restaurant in Seattle

I absolutely adore their coffee here! I normally get an ice caramel latte and my friend gets a triple shot ice latte and we both really like the espresso in it~ I also personally like my latte to be creamy (I get whole milk but they have other options) and it always feels like my drink from here is a fun treat.

I’ve gotten their baked goods there before and they are yummy enough to go back and get again (so I’m told) - I’m not a baked goods kinda person but their croissants are light and buttery. My friend loves their Nutella pastry - I only wish they heat it up for to go orders. I’ll have to ask next time but normally the default are non-heated.

A lot of the reviews mention about service, and I just want to mention that it gets busy in there very often and so they are trying to make sure to cater to everyone. I do appreciate the speedy-ness as I never had a problem waiting for a long period to receive the coffee and baked goods.

Oh quick note is that baked goods do sell out! I went one time during the afternoon for a work pick me up and it was empty compared to the morning - so keep in mind the time if you’re looking for baked...

I like the food options, though, for my taste, I give the food flavors/presentation 3.5/5.

Here’s why:

I got an almond latte. The almond milk is great, but the coffee tastes like dark roast, which is too burnt for my personal preferences.

I got the ham quiche. The flavors weren’t bad, but I was expecting more egg, less heavy cream in the mixture. So much heavy cream diluted the egg flavors and made the quiche very soft. I like the idea of covering the quiche in pastry dough.

I got the chocolate croissant. I love chocolate, but this chocolate’s flavor was not good. Also, the chocolate was not soft or melted into the bread. It was a hard, double piece of dark chocolate that lacked the rich cocoa flavor and tasted a lot like a lower quality dark chocolate. The croissant itself was just okay. Again, possibly missing some good quality ingredients in the recipe.

Finally, we asked if their orange juice was fresh. The answer was “yes.” It was not fresh as freshly made as it lacked pulp and tasted like processed, Tropicana OJ.

I would venture out to a different coffee...

I gotta say, today's experience with this place was just plain awful. I've been a regular for breakfast here for about six months, and while the food and coffee are ok, today's encounter with their staff left a bad taste in my mouth.

I was waiting in line, along with a lady ahead of me, and they took her order. But then, another line formed from a different direction, and the late comers didn't even bother to check if we were in line (by now another lady came in and waited behind me). We'd been waiting for a good 10 minutes, and then the barista said no to us, "Oh, the line starts over there" while pointing to the latecomers, as if they didn’t see us for the whole time!? The lady behind me and I just walked out in frustration.

You'd think they could've at least acknowledged our wait and let us be the next order, but nope, they handled it unprofessionally. I won't be...
