Yum! Amazing mochas and other coffee drinks. I got a Turkey and Havarti sandwich the day they opened this location (9/27/21) and was impressed. Very tasty. The lounge area is nice and spacious and they have outdoor seating under cover so you can stay dry, even if it’s raining. They take Apple Pay. Nice to have this location within the building and also within walking distance of other downtown Bellevue offices buildings.

I spent a few hours here while waiting for someone having surgery. The employees were so kind, attentive and amazing! I ended up leaving without chocolate mousse I purchase. I expected to have to fight when I came back, but instead they were so sweet about it! I was impressed with their work ethic and customer service.

I had a tall Dilettante Mocha with Dilettante Mocha Café's 72 percent cacao chocolate. It was a smooth creamy drink with a wonderful chocolatey taste with a delightful miniscule bitter note. The flavor engagement was a logarithmic curve with no spikes and quick to plateau. Every sip was a treasure, and I would definitely recommend it for a lovely morning treat.

I came to Bellevue for work and tried out this coffee shop for the first time. I got the Mocha coffee with 72% chocolate and really liked it!! I didn’t expect coffee and chocolate could go that well together. The bitterness of the dark chocolate added a special flavor to the coffee and made it more fun to drink. I’ll definitely come back!

Not enough reviews for this place so here I go. Wonderful customer service, delicious coffee, and great breakfast sandwiches. Plus a cute spot overall. Too many cafes in the area don’t open early enough and this place was what my family and I needed while on vacation. Sadly my kids didn’t like the hot chocolate (they had a nutty flavor) but my husband and I thought those too were super good. Ended up going twice during our short stay. So many great sounding menu items and all the chocolates looked incredible.

I had a mocha with ephemere chocolate and it was decadent and delicious. Not too sweet. The place is clean and elegant, tucked a bit at the back.
