![]() ![]() Me- You know the silhouette of the guy in a trench coat.Ĭashier- Well different coffee places have different logos, but Cafe Ladro’s owners probably had their logo of what they envisioned a typical Seattle person looking like, bundled up in a hat and trench coat. She even physically showed me how a bundled up person looks similar to the logo! Me- You know the logo for Caffe Ladro, the guy with the trench coat? What’s the origin? What does it represent? Remember, my dumbass is in Caffe Vita.Ĭashier – Looking perplexed. Caffe Vita-left, Caffe Ladro-rightĪnyways, here’s how it went down. As you can see from the two logos below side by side, there is nothing in common except both are humans and both are wearing hats. Yes, I asked her about the logo of a different cafe. It’s dude who looks like a court jester who is offering up a cup of coffee. I was trying to make small talk with the cashier and asked about the origin of of the logo for “ Caffe Ladro“. I’ve always been interested in Caffe Vita’s logo. ![]() ![]() I don’t know if they ever use it.įavorite Thing: All the cool things to look at-the coffee grinder in the front window, the coffee table pictured above, their huge siphon, and even the floor tiles,Įavesdropping My Convo : Let me preface the story below. I don’t mean that as in, “wow, that guy’s a looker!” but more like “wow, that guy likes to look at things a lot.” This Caffe Vita location has a lot of cool things to look at-the coffee grinder in the front window, the coffee table pictured above, their huge siphon, and even the floor tiles, which are definitely original. The cashier said, “Looks like they put extra frosting on this one for you” I had a huge apple fritter that had an unusually large portion of frosting(see pic above) with my Americano. Camshaft stools Coffee table upstairsįor all you vegans out there, you’ll be happy to know that their pastries are from Mighty-O Donuts. They have an upstairs area with a leather couch and a few more table seatings with a really interesting glass coffee table that have a huge cut section of a tree trunk surrounded by a steel mechanism.The ceilings have to be at least 25 feet high, which means the huge windows allow in a lot of light. ![]() In the back is more bar seating. That’s not all. A huge community table is located in the front along with 3 or 4 tables for two. Because of it’s size, it’s good for groups. This particular location has an industrial look with huge steel supports, a huge metal staircase and bar stools made from camshafts. They also have locations outside Seattle in Portland, NY and LA. Another thing I didn’t realize is the Capitol Hill location is open until 11:00pm for all you night owls. I guess Pioneer Square is generally a ghost town on the weekends. Of all the Caffe Vita locations, this is by far my favorite. Some thing to be aware of - this location is not open on the weekends, but all their other locations are. What we ate/drank : Americano, Frosted Apple Fritter from Mighty-O Mighty-O Apple Fritter & AmericanoĬomments: Unlike Caffe Ladro, that seems to have a different vibe per location, Caffe Vita locations all seem to have the same vibe-warm and comfortable.
