Cafe Allegro, Seattle, Washington Restaurant Details

Food:

This cafe has soul. Cafe Allegro has been around long enough to have real Seattle vibes, even as the city grows and changes in character.

Food:

Nice place with great atmosphere. Wi-Fi was spotty the last time I came here though. Check out the second floor!

Food:

Good coffee, but a few of the baristas are rude and pretentious. It's one of those unique and alternative Seattle places I went to because someone told me I should check it out, but I've been treated like an idiot and like I'm unwelcome the few times I've gone in. You work in customer service, for God's sake, at least pretend like you can tolerate the customer. I'll take mediocre coffee at Starbucks any day if it means a less surly barista.

Food:

I walked in with a left over box of mod pizza that I was going to be taking home with me and sat down in the center of the cafe. Immediately one of the women working there said "hey we don't do that here." A bit shocked, I said "oh I will be getting some coffee in a little bit". She responded with a rude smirk, notioning that she wasn't happy. So, because the whole cafe was now looking at me because of the way she initiated the conversion, I felt awkward and out of place, so I left. Coming back with a friend to study, I calmly mentioned that I wish she would have come over to me personally and told me about there no other food policy and I would have gladly finished the single piece of pizza left in the box outside the cafe and then came back in. She then responded "we treat everyone the same." So if you ever go in there with other food on you, expect to be called out by the staff in front of everyone in a rude and extremely direct way. I will never mention this cafe to anyone else or be bringing my business here ever again. I was treated terribly from the moment I walked in the door.

If the business owner is reading this review, think about how you treat customers. Maybe instead of reacting aggressively, take into consideration what other people have to say rationally and calmly, then address the situation in an appropriate manner...

Food:

This place seemed pretty cool. You have to go through an alley to get there, and the rustic feel was quite inviting. But the staff's interpersonal skills ranged from below average to downright offensive. I was planning on telling my friends about this place. Now the last I'll ever speak of it is to review it here.
