Caffe Appassionato Review

Absolutely love this place. They honestly serve some of the best coffee I've had and the service is always stellar. The staff is so friendly. Despite the dozen or so coffee houses right in Ballard, I willingly drive over the bridge (and risk getting stuck if the bridge goes up) just for their coffee. :) I've never been inside, but the drive-thru is always quick.

Shots pulled perfectly, service was quick and friendly. Great atmosphere, I'll be back.

Cute little coffee shop with great service and delicious coffee and breakfast sandwiches!

When I visit my family in Seattle we often go to Caffe Appassionato. The coffee is delicious, atmosphere inviting and the staff are wonderful! Yes, put this place on your list as "need to go", you will enjoy!

Seriously the best coffee. Like it's stupid good. Even their decaf is good. Go there. Do it now. Then take your coffee over to the marina and sit on a bench thinking about how blessed you are (Because you are! I mean, look around you!) and how much you want to come back here every day. PS. They have a drive thru, too.

I Love the smell of this place. The coffee is roasted right there ! And it taste as good as it smells

Great little coffee shop! Nice that they have free parking (so hard to find in Seattle) and super delicious coffee with friendly service.

A quick stop for coffee and breakfast sandwiches, easy drive through or parking out front. Spacious patio.

Haven t been in person, but I buy the Morning Passion Breakfast Blend at my grocery store. It s my favorite coffee right now. I prefer low acidity coffee which is hard to find sometimes.

Went through the drive thru, which does not look like anything. The guy who made my coffee was very nice. Coffee is amazing!

They re just okay. I ve gone a few times when the drive-through isn t busy on my way to work, but I feel like they mess up my order about 50% of the time. It s hit or miss, but I understand that people make mistakes. It s just not my favorite coffee spot.

Little world of coffee at a weird location, very cozy inside. Breakfast food was ok, great croissants. There is a drive-trough, but indoor seating neat a piano is great.

Nice homey place with lots of good food and coffee. Wheelchair accessible.

Vibe. One of the best atmospheres in a cafe in Seattle. Super chill, great cold brew.

My go to place for my coffee purchases and a great place to sit down and work. Big tables, calming atmosphere and great fresh choices in coffee. Downside is that sometimes parking is a tougher.

Watching the beans roast is always entertaining. Their decaf is absolutely the best and if you're a fan of mochas, try their Appassionato mocha (hint Dilettante chocolate). This location has a cozy little meeting room as well. Parking can be a challenge lately but other than that, they are still great.

Good coffee, friendly staff, nice place to chill out!

Delicious coffee, nice place, good customer service.

Morning passion coffee this morning, super delish, always ask myself why I do not get back to this location more, super non corporate ambiance etc

Hard to enjoy a cup a coffee when it's so loud . The person describing how coffee is roasted has no volume control.

Great place for a coffee and snack near Fisherman's Terminal. And they have a piano!

I just get ice tea when I meet a friend. Teas the best in the whole world.

Come every morning when in town for work. Great coffee, friendly staff, and good simple breakfast sandwiches and scrambles

I always experience super friendly customer service here!

They have drive thru it looks like from the outside?? Yet no mention of it or a menu on the website??? How do you expect any new business?? I drive by this twice daily for the past 16mo and yet go else where bc they have a website w a menu

Out of the way but good coffee. They roast on site. Concrete floor is cool in summer.

This is the only coffee in existence as far as I am concerned. Look forward to drinking this coffee every morning. Smooth, robust, and satisfying.

Just not good. The food case was mostly empty. Breakfast sandwiches are microwaved, not toasted, and then served mostly cold. Team seems understaffed and overwhelmed by simple orders. The menu could be great, but not with that tiny electric grill...

THE best tasting coffee in Seattle by far, in my opinion (and everyone that I ve shared their coffee with too). The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is charming too!

Friendly staff. Good food and they have white coffee.

Good coffee. Charming atmosphere. Not too loud, not too quiet. They allow dogs on their patio.

Got a latte and scone while out for a walk. It was a great pick me up with all this rain and wind. Plus, I got a huge bag of beans to make some home brew. I will be back again!

My favorite coffee house. It may take awhile to get a drink but the servers are very nice and I like the relaxed atmosphere. Plus their coffee is very tasty.

I don't typically write reviews, but thought the staff was so kind and welcoming that I felt compelled to. The coffee is amazing and I love that you can see the roastery preparing everything. I'm not usually in the area, but liked it enough to want to find excuses to come here.

Nice, chill coffee shop. A good place to work or read.

Good coffee, good people, good service and Good setting. What else do you need? Food, they've got that too

Very well made coffee in a wonderful location. The interior and exterior both are peacefully designed and make for a superb location to meet, work tranquilly or just have a robust beverage in peace.
If you end up in Magnolia this is a superb place to stop!

Seattle native here stuck in Washington DC for the past 12 years. Every few weeks I order a 5 lb bag of whole bean coffee from Caffe Appassionato. Sure, there are coffee roasters back East, but the Espresso Roast is unlike any other. Always friendly on the phone, and fast delivery. Ironically I've only been to the 21st Ave roasting location twice, despite drinking the coffee daily. For me, it was like a trip to Mecca. They were really excited when I visited... "that DC customer!" I was known as. What a great welcome.

Excellent coffee, drive thru is quick and shop interior is high class, and unique with the roastery visible through glass.

I would say this is the best coffee shop in Seattle!!!

I go here pretty often as I work nearby. They have amazing coffee (you can sometimes see them roasting it in house though a glass window) and tons of syrup flavors if you like to add those. It's also a great place to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast.

Employee's we're rude and unprofessional my hemp mocha was burnt and tasted like 50 shots of white chocolate syrup. I won't be going there again

I have shifted to getting all my coffee beans here. The coffee roasted does it perfectly.

Seattle Seahawks official coffee! The best coffee roaster in Seattle. Hands down great coffee!

Always best to get your coffee straight from the source.

Love this place, I just wish they would leave a bit more room for cream & sugar :)

Lovely beignets, excellent staff, and the best Italian Soda I've found since leaving San Francisco. Definitely a hidden gem among all the shops around here.

The space is spacious yet cozy, the coffee is delicious, and the baristas never fail to smile and ask about your day. This is my favorite coffeeshop to relax at.

Dropped in for an after dinner coffee. An acoustic group was playing '60's music. Coffee was excellent and the atmosphere and decor were spot on. Met Jane who was friendly and conversational. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to come back for breakfast. Selection of coffees is excellent.

Watching the coffee roast while waiting for my drink is quite nice.

We ordered 16oz caramel macchiatos. This has to be one of the best macchiatos I've had. I don't know if it was the bean or something else (pretty sure he's hiding a secret ingredient from us) but I highly recommend you try it. The decor was pretty cool also, even the walk in was nice... Just wish the piano and roaster were being used during the visit.

Awesome Sumatra roast. Cozy place; great customer service.

The best place in Magnolia to kill time while waiting for traffic to clear.

Here is the Best reasons I can think of is. Best Coffee I have ever had..I really didn't used to be a coffee drinker, until I Tried the Appassionato's. You can blame my Boss Richard, but now like Rich I look forward to crossing the Ballard bridge every morning for Coffee.. And the Staff are Great!!! .
They just seem to know what you want before you get to their service window or ordering Counter inside. In other words the Staff are the BEST. ALWAYS CLEAN AND ON TOP OF THEIR JOB.!!

Amazingly helpful and friendly staff. Nitro cold brew is outstanding. Tried it and immediately bought a pound

This is a great little local coffee shop. They roast and sell their own beans (which you can see being done from inside). I enjoy their coffee and it's reasonably priced, but admittedly I do not have a sophisticated palette.

There is a drive-up window if you're on the go which is nice. The staff is very helpful (I think they may mostly employ local students and I noticed that they have specials for SPU enrollees).

I haven't tried their food. They have a small electric griddle they use to cook eggs, breakfast meats, and make sandwiches. Nothing gourmet but I would gladly try it before getting McDonald's breakfast.

Generally it's not too loud and there is lots of seating. You can even reserve a conference room, I think (not sure on the logistics). Ample parking and they even have outdoor tables which would be nice in the warmer months.

Best cup of coffee in town, in my opinion. And quite pleasant baristas too!

This coffee place is I'm north magnolia by the fisherman's terminal. It's spacious; they have indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a small conference room for meetings and a drive thru.

Very noisy, even though there were only a few people there. Difficult to have a conversation with extremely loud machinery, banging metal trays, cups grabbed up and dropped roughly in bins. Coffee was good, not exceptional. Difficult to find this place, no clear signs on awnings.
