Nestled on Mercer Street, it hums with the comfortable rhythm of a neighborhood café thoughtfully rooted in the city’s daily life. The space carries a straightforward, urban charm—nothing overly polished, just a sincere sense of welcome that invites you to pause, linger, and savor.

From the steam rising off a carefully crafted Cubano Latte to the aroma of freshly baked pastries, Caffè Zingaro offers more than just refreshments—it delivers little rituals of comfort. The menu carries an inviting blend of the familiar and the unexpected: breakfast sandwiches that satisfy quiet mornings, burritos that bring cozy, savory warmth to midday breaks, and tea lattes that feel like a gentle, aromatic embrace in a cup. There’s an easy kindness to the food here, a sense that each item was created to make your day a bit better, whether you’re rushing in or settling down with a book.

The staff echoes this warmly casual vibe, friendly without fuss, and the space often feels like a meeting point for locals who appreciate its steady, welcoming presence. It’s a place where you might find yourself returning not just for the coffee, but for the quiet companionship of a space that feels quietly alive—one that marks the subtle rhythms of Seattle life without ever rushing.

Whether you’re stepping in for a quick Americano or unfolding a banana bread with a book beside you, Caffè Zingaro carries the gentle yet persistent hum of moments well spent, where good coffee and thoughtful food quietly shape the pulse of the neighborhood.
It’s a café that rewards discovery by feeling like a place you’ve always known.

Can’t believe I forgot to leave a review! I moved out of Seattle exactly one year ago on this day. I was looking through some pictures just now and remembered this wonderful cafe! I stopped by one last time to get a coffee that afternoon right before I drove all the way to Texas! It was one of my favorite places while I was in Seattle. I’d go very often to grab a latte since it was delicious and affordable! The atmosphere was great, and the baristas/staff were exceptionally kind (and can do some fantastic latte art)! An awesome spot that I hope to visit again one day if I’m ever back in town :)

One of the best coffee spots in town! And they serve delicious burritos and sandwiches. Staff is warm and welcoming.

This cafe was close to the theatre we were going to. Easy walking distance, nice people. Had coffee and a pastry, which were the perfect size.

Great cafe! Incredible staff! Coffee and burrito was delicious. Price was super reasonable. Next time I'm in town I will be visiting again. I'm visiting Seattle again and it would be right if I didn't make a stop at Caffe Zingaro! Excellent as always!

What stands out to me about this Cafe is the unique food items and drinks. The owners created his own drink and they also offer some very nice tea latte combinations. Friendly service, simple urban coffee shop vibe.

This is a really lovely place to the north of the Space Needle and the Seattle center. Everyone here seems quite nice, and the atmosphere is idyllically charming. I went here around Christmas time, and the ambience seemed filled with the goodwill and joviality of the season. The prices are reasonable, and the food and pastries are effervescent delights. There is not really any hook or any major theme to this place: it is just very charming and peaceful, and people feel that, hence why I saw so many regulars sitting here with their laptops. It exemplifies the sophisticated earthiness that I love so much about this city.

A wonderful cozy spot in Lower Queen Anne to have brunch! The atmosphere is amazing. I very much enjoyed my sausage burrito. The hot Vietnamese coffee I got was excellent.
