Caffe Ladro - Bothell

The cookies and patries are nice but I went twice when in town visiting my daughter and both times the vanilla latte was not enjoyable. The second time I had my 8 yo granddaughter with me and they were really rude about what drinks were available for kids. They made a 'raspberry' frappuccino that was undrinkable but pricey. The location and caffe itself is nice as is the free Wi-Fi.

Prices, ambiance, and the coffee itself is pretty good.

However, I take issue with the uneven application of their mask rules. It's the right of every business to set their rules on something like this, but if there are customers sitting at tables unmasked and yet you require people standing in line to wear them that's unacceptable. Figure out your policy and enforce it 100% or not at all.

Unfortunately the photos fooled me. Met my friend here and there wasn't comfortable seating. Coffee tasted burnt and were not options for my friends dietary limitations. Beautiful outside area feels very New Orleans'y

good coffee and food options but service is rude and indifferent

Comfortable coffee shop with some great flavors of coffee and tea. This serves as a good spot to drop by for drinks while enoying some of the shopping and dining of the downtown Bothell area. There is outdoor and indoor seating available, just note that inside people are often working and it's so quiet it's almost like a library.

Nice place but they need to clean their sign.

The food is great and the coffee seems like great quality. So the materials are there for an amazing shop, but it’s poorly executed. When busy the drink quality suffers, the food is microwaved until it melts, and everyone is standing around the shop waiting 10+ minutes because no one knows where the line is. It could use some redesign and management, until then it’s very hit or miss what you will get.

Update: I’ve got to love this down to one star. After visiting a few times now I’ve been given the wrong drink on occasion. Which I don’t find out about until I get home , so I just have to throw it away. Definitely not the best coffee house in town.

I cannot say for anything else since I only have lattes, but I love their lattes. I love the big flavor of 12oz size lattes of theirs, and currently the hazelnut latte is my thing. I would recommend checking the number of shots though if you order bigger size drinks since it seems there is no difference on them. You might want to add shots for strong coffee flavor. They also have the store card that you can deposit your money and use for purchases, and later you get 2 free drinks for every 10 purchases.

Been a fan of Cafe Ladro since my Fremont days in the early 2000's. That location was so hip, you better put your best hipster pose on.. and know your coffee. Barista was always friendly and efficient.
Ended up in the Bothell area, errands run in Edmonds
..so to this day I frequent both those locations. Edmonds has some issues with incompetence (like getting your drink wrong), and sometimes discourteous staff. Bothell location has way better service.
They have the best coffee I've tasted in the area along with Uptown Expresso. These days, I usually order the turmeric latte. And their pastries are the best for a coffee shop, as well.
I bring family here from out of town for the divine Seattle coffee experience.
And they have all the milks, vegan pastries.
I overlook the occasional saucy/clueless employee.. and due to it's top-notch coffee and pastries, give it a 5-star rating here.

Coffee is made to order and a strong flavor. The food options provide a tasty treat with the drink of your choice. The environment is a beautiful meeting place of mixed indoor/outdoor seating, and a garage door that opens between the two.
