Italian-leaning coffee bar with excellent espresso drinks, quick counter service, and limited but tasty pastries; great for a quality caffeine fix near the Convention Center.
Caffe Umbria Olive Way delivers strong espresso and specialty coffee quality with friendly, efficient service, but inconsistent execution—occasional burnt milk and weak extractions—prevents higher grades. The convenient downtown location with Italian cafe charm appeals to coffee enthusiasts and hotel guests, though the narrow space lacks destination-level ambiance. A reliable neighborhood stop for quality drinks rather than a regional standout.
One caveat: Some drinks run too bitter or too sweet depending on the barista and rush level (sporadic reports)
