  Love this place! I've been quite a few times, which really says something cause I generally never hit up the same place more than a few times.
  
  Fair prices, good food, decent wifi, good background music/noise, clean bathrooms.
  
  I LOVE the breakfast sandwich. It's great bang for your buck. I usually will get the turkey option on a jalapeño bagel. I've introduced this to a bunch of friends so it comes highly recommended.
  
  I tried their samosa today... It tasted good (a wee bit spicy for me) but I'd rather go to an Indian place for future samosas.
  
  I also had an almond poppy seed muffin - it was nice and fluffy.
  
  Overall, highly recommend. Great place to do some work because it's not one of those super crowded cafes you walk in to see if there's space and then walk right back out. I'd honestly call this place a gem. Though it runs a bit cold so bring a sweater!

  Great place to stop by for a quick morning bite or settle down to work in the afternoon!
  
  I recently discovered Cafe Argento and love the ambience. It's never too crowded and everyone is friendly. Highly recommend getting the jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese and olive oil!! I love bagels on a normal day, but the olive oil makes these taste top notch!

  I keep coming back for their homemade vegan soups, which are always incredibly delicious and warm the soul (especially on a rainy or otherwise day), served with a bagel topped with their homemade garlic infused olive oil. *drool*. The staff and owner continue to be friendly and welcoming. Cafe Argento has become one of my go-to working spots as they welcome my (leashed, well behaved) pup.

  I came to Cafe Argento for a coffee meeting and enjoyed my time here.  Located on Capitol Hill on the corner of 12th and Olive, it's easy to find and though the space isn't large, it has a welcoming space, inviting you to stay awhile.
  
  I ordered a drip and a samosa, which were both good.  Cafe Argento uses coffee from the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, which was solid and strong, just what anyone needs with a drip.  The samosa was something I ordered for breakfast.  It's in the pastry case at the counter and they heat it up for you before delivering it to your table.  The samosa had a side of light cheese, which tasted like feta, with a spicy sauce and truffle olive oil for dipping.  I enjoyed the samosa, which was filled with curried potatoes and the sides of sauces and cheese went well with it.  It's certainly more unique than your average pastry with coffee; therefore, it is worth a try if you're at Cafe Argento!
  
  I loved how many frequent customers there were during my visit, as the owner seemed to know each and every one of them, including the person I was meeting.  There's a lot to be said for a neighborhood cafe that you can count on, and Cafe Argento speaks to that.  For anyone in the area, needing coffee and a snack, I recommend Cafe Argento for just that and top-notch customer service.

  Awesome little cafe! Perfect location from my Airbnb. I stopped here almost every morning of my business trip. I had their egg breakfast sammie twice- it was simple yet delicious. I tried 3 different coffee drinks- iced soy latte, iced chai and regular hot latte. They were all great & well priced. I also had a bagel and cream cheese the last day of my trip and there was a generous amount of cream cheese, which I appreciated!
  
  The cafe workers were kind and pleasant. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and welcoming. There was plenty of seating each time i went. I will definitely stop back again next time I'm in Seattle!
