Crema's Take
“Caffe Ladro's house-made syrups elevate even their straightforward espresso drinks into something worth ordering twice, and the baristas genuinely care about dialing in recommendations for what you'll actually enjoy. The corner location floods the space with natural light, making it ideal for settling in with a laptop and their excellent pastries, while the warm staff and reasonable prices explain why this Seattle institution feels equally at home in Ballard as it does as a neighborhood gathering spot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →Caffe Ladro is a Seattle staple. Great addition to the Ballard coffee scene. Pastries, coffee, vibes.. what else could you want.
Really good coffee and house made syrup options! Barista was super kind and offered suggestions for what they thought we’d like. Love the atmosphere in the cafe as well! Great working space. Pictured is a hot vanilla latte & maple syrup shaken espresso with oatmilk!
Great coffee shop with a nice decor and friendly staff. Reasonably priced.
So happy to have a Ladro in Ballard! Love that it’s on a corner so there is plenty of light. It’s a great place to work from. WiFi is great and they have outlets along the counter seats. Barista was lovely and made a great latte. Will be coming on the regular.
