Overview

Try a sip of Seattle, embodied in Caffe Ladro's signature espresso blend. Ladro Espresso is a little spot of sunshine on a stormy day. By itself it is creamy and sweet with mild chocolate flavor. In a milk-based drink it adds layers of flavor without the addition of sweetener or syrups. It makes a balanced espresso or a full-bodied drip coffee.

When a brand-new coffee roaster opens up right next door to Starbucks, well… you know it’s going to be good. That’s what happened when Caffe Ladro opened up its first shop in 1994 on Upper Queen Anne in Seattle, right next door to Starbucks. To be fair, it’s a quintessential Seattle tale; Everyone knows there’s room for more than one great coffee shop in the Coffee Capital. Caffe Ladro—now a Seattle institution which means “coffee thief”—has always had to work twice as hard to produce quality coffee that appealed to the masses and beat out its next-door neighbor. These days, Caffe Ladro has 15 locations in Seattle and the surrounding region.

Impressed to say the least

The perfect balance of flavor and aroma, with a perfect Crema. I love the fact it is a medium roast and I can use it in my Philipps Latte Go espresso machine! Will be buying more soon.

Tastes like a $300 cup

I give give this coffee 5 stars. It smelled so good I couldn?t resist it and ate the entire bag. My mom and dad didn?t even get to try it. Even though this meant I had to go to the scary place and see the doctor I have no regrets and would do it again. - Kesa the dog

Heavenly!

This coffee is absolutely delicious. I've tried many different brands but this is one of the best. I'd rank it up with there with Illy. It has a nice and smooth complex flavor with a sweet finish, and is mild enough to drink straight black. I freeze the coffee over night and use the coffee cubes to make a frozen, blended latte. I would highly recommend Ladro to anyone!

New favorite that showed what I was missing

I've recently started down the espresso rabbit hole and realized that I needed to start buying fresher roasted beans. The Ladro espresso beans instantly showed me what I was missing with a smooth rich flavor that instantly made me a fan. It also has me buying equipment to store them properly to keep that freshness. Highly recommend. A new favorite and arrived very quickly after the roast date. Enjoy

Good recommendation

I was recommended this coffee from a person at Seattle Coffee Gear. I was reluctant at first since I have grown to like the dark roasts when making espresso. However, I found this to be a game-changer because it's very smooth with a subtle, chocolate-like flavor. Another good point is the flavor does not linger. I found this to be a good break from the dark, rich flavored espresso roasts. My family agrees, too.

Favorite Coffee

I love the flavor of this coffee. I like sweeter coffee and this has a great flavor -I am sure it is the caramel in it that boosts the flavor. Thanks for having it as a staff pick, otherwise I probably would not have picked it! Now my favorite for the day!

I?m not an aficionado, but to me it's bold and there's no sharp edges on the taste.

This is very good coffee, just not a very good deal. Be advised - the packages are only 12oz, not full lbs.

Without question, this is the one for us.

Ladro is easily our new favorite, one pull and you?ll see why. There are plenty of terrific coffees to be had at SCG?the Ladro, however, shall be the new standard in our kitchen café ?til further notice. It also loves the French press. [This is especially-appreciated for when your father-in-law wants ?just plain ol coffee? not all that fancy exxpresso stuff.?] It does make a stunning cup of coffee.

Amazing till the last drop.

Wow! First time buying coffee from SCG and I am beyond impressed. This was a staff pick and I am so glad I trusted their opinion. Typically coffees designated as an espresso disappoint me but this roast was very easy to dial in and tasted amazing as an espresso, milk drink, and brewed drip style. Typically use good brothers coffee for my espresso drinks but I am so glad I took a chance with SCG. Will buy it again!
