Caffe Umbria Olive Way
622 Olive Wy, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“This generations-owned Italian-influenced café has earned its devoted local following with genuinely excellent espresso and pour overs that keep guests walking past the nearby Starbucks just to get here. The narrow, charming space on Olive Avenue offers a quiet refuge perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries, with baristas known for being genuinely helpful rather than just efficient. It's the kind of neighborhood gem that balances serious coffee craftsmanship with an approachable, unhurried atmosphere that makes you want to stay.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Excellent coffee, best we found downtown during the weekend. Baristas were all very polite and helpful. Prices were decent.
I am staying at the regency which has a Starbucks inside but I still walk here every morning because the coffee is great and the generations owned shop is charming, clearly a local fav. The egg croissant was also delish!
Quiet and cute! Love the Italian influence and coffee was delicious! We will be back!
Good coffee spot. I loved the black drip coffee. They have some food options I didn’t try. Descent space to hangout
This was a nice little coffee shop off Olive Avenue. The places, narrow and long and there’s an area where you can sit on one side. They offer some pastries and Saunt sandwiches to go with a wide variety of coffees and drinks. The place is nice and clean and the staff is good.…
