Cafe Argento

Stopped by this cute little spot for coffee and breakfast sandwiches to-go. The staff was attentive, kind, helpful and efficient! Having not had my morning coffee yet, combined with new place and new menu, I was a bit slow to order and the owner was so kind and helpful even saying “it’s ok, you’re in a new place!”, and to someone with a bit of ordering anxiety who was very groggy, this was so appreciated and made my day. The order came up fast and was wrapped up so cute!

Not only is the staff amazing, but those breakfast bagels, wow! I got a Turkey sandwich on an Asiago bagel with no veg and my husband had the Turkey on Asiago with veg and this may have been the best bagel sandwich either of us ever had. Coffee is doing the trick too!

Thanks so much for all you do.

I had some time to burn in the area and decided to stop in when I read they have vegan soup.

The staff was so friendly as well as patient as I looked over the menu. I had soup with an onion bagel with garlic olive oil. (Heads up all the bagels do have an egg wash) The olive oil was incredible and really elevated the bagel.

As I sat to enjoy the food, atmosphere and my book, I was struck by how friendly and personable the staff was to everyone who came in. They seemed to already know everyone’s order. The business was steady but no one seemed to wait long for their order.

Really cool spot, looking forward to coming back.

Ah, cafe Argento! I can't believe I lived on Capitol Hill for years before I visited this place. In the category of tiny cafes, this is my favorite. Faizel (the owner) is a wonderful human, you can feel genuine love radiating from him every time you come in the door. He learned my name basically the first time I came in, and never forgot it (not that I'm special, he seems to know everyone's name). Incredible coffee, roasted in-house. The best breakfast sandwiches, not only in terms of flavor, but in terms of value also. Beautiful decor that changes with the seasons. Absolutely amazing place, a treasure of the neighborhood.

Great cafe in the heart of capital hill. The inside atmosphere is calm and relaxing with kind service. There are a couple comfy chairs to read at and also some larger tables if you decide to have a laptop to work on getting your inbox to zero (good luck!). Their soup was amazing and everyone kept coming in for their breakfast sandwiches on your choice of bagel.

A lot of people had a book out and were just chilling on a Saturday.

A gem in the neighborhood.
1) they have great coffee/drinks,
2) they make their own breakfast food and is yummy 🤤
3) their staff are top notch. Very pleasant. A+. 6 out of 5!
4) the vibe is nice in there

This place has become part of my daily life and I’m so grateful to the peace they project in there.

I’m so impressed with my bagel breakfast sandwich and Americano from this morning. Both were super delicious!

This is a great cafe. Not only does it have a great atmosphere inside, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the coffee is delicious. They have a selection of breakfast sandwiches as well. I ordered an iced latte and it was really well mixed (which isn't always the case at some places). It has a great location as well, right near a park, and within walking distance to a lot of other great stops.

Great food and coffee. We weren't local to the neighborhood, but the employee knew every customer by name as they came in, and it made us wish we lived in the neighborhood!

WOAH. Soooooo good. The cafe has a nice atmosphere, the staff was super friendly, great service, very quick. The food... omg.... Sooooo delicious. We got the breakfast sandwiches (one veggie, one turkey), a chocolate chip cookie, a brownie, a latte, and a Chai. Everything was delicious. I'm going to be going back there a lot! New top fave.

I absolutely love this place. Expect keen service, fire bagel sandwiches, and cozy hangout vibes. A beautiful queer-friendly, veg-friendly gem!

Fast efficient service, great bagels, good coffee, amazing service, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Lotta love for these people. 💝

The latte was great. It’s a super chill place to grab something to drink and talk or chat. Not necessarily the greatest environment to work at though.

I love this cafe! The owner and staff are incredibly kind. It’s dog-friendly and they always have treats behind the counter for my pup when we wait. The breakfast sandwich is my favorite option in the area of cap hill and the prices are very reasonable. Fresh food, great people and dogs allowed. The trifecta!!

amazing coffee shop with a big vegetarian breakfast and lunch selection. The soup is always vegan and the staff is so kind!

Visiting from nyc, stopped in for an oat latte and stayed to eat a yummy vegan samosa. Really lovely cafe, all the natural sunlight would make it such a great place to write. 💜

Lovely Cafe & lovely owner. Had a great brunch samosa and large cappuccino.

Awesome breakfast sandwich and awesome friendly service. I feel like a lot of places in this neighborhood give off an icy, too-cool-for-school kind of vibe and attitude (maybe even deliberately I don't know) but was really pleasantly surprised by how warm and friendly everyone was here. That kind of thing really makes a huge difference when you're trying to start your morning positvely.

Great food & coffee, at good prices too! Feels like a home-cooked breakfast or lunch. Awesome cafe atmosphere to do some work in. One of my fave spots. Vegetarian/vegan friendly.

My favorite breakfast sandwich in the neighborhood and the most pleasant and friendly atmosphere!

By far the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. Only $5.95 for a delicious bagel with eggs, cheese, veggies, and homemade garlic olive oil?? $7.95 to add turkey. This is my go-to spot for a quick breakfast and coffee.
