Allegro is beautiful – Cafe Allegro is wonderful. One of the few places for the mature minds and sensitive spirits of Seattle to gather in one place--what would the U-District be without it? The reviews harping on bad baristas are ridiculous. First of all, because the baristas are ALL lovely people...I have been a regular for almost a decade--trust me on this. I have never encountered anyone there whom I would consider rude or nasty. And let me ask: Why does a barista have to be unnaturally outgoing to every customer?? Are y... read more
If you want something other than Starbucks... The entrance to this cafe is almost hidden in a back alley, but the mood here is very relaxed and the coffee I had was great. It is a great place to meet with friends and/or do school work, so long as you go at a time when there are still tables available (it is a fairly small space that doesn't take long to fill...).
Superb Coffees! This is a neighborhood hangout (entry is down an alleyway). Fantastic coffee drinks and teas and superb baked goods. Gets busy - sometimes hard to find a table as people stay and visit or work on laptops, etc...
Cool Vibe, Snobby Barista – I heard about Cafe Allegro and expected good coffee and a cool vibe. I didn't expect a snobby barista though.

After I sat down and had my Chai, my mood softened and I was pleased with the quality of the drink. I also interacted with other customers who were friendly and... read more
Best coffee ever - great environment – I have been going to Cafe Allegro since the early 1980s. It has proven to be both the best coffee I have ever had, and the nicest people. The environment is very welcoming, just like the people. Cafe Allegro has been like a canvas upon which my entire experience has been accentuated over many years. I remember the owner as a barista back then, with his beret, and his warm personality. Many a rainy days were given a huge uptick from a visit to Cafe Allegro. Many people I have known have ... read more
