Editorial Review for El Diablo – by Kerry McDonald
The Scene
Devils seem to have all the fun. Vivid murals adorn the walls of this colorful, cozy coffeehouse, while Latin beats undulate throughout the room. Sweethearts snuggle in the "love grotto" (a velvet couch hidden in the back corner). On a rainy day, bring a book and cuddle up with a cup of joe.
The Food
In the morning, sip on a Latin latte (cafe con leche) or a batido (fresh fruit shake). Chocolate lovers should dive in to a Mexican mocha, fragrant with the cinnamon and almonds that flavor their chocolate. Come back for a nightcap. El Diablo offers a titillating selection of wines and tropical desserts, including an apple-walnut torte and a perfectly sinful chocolate Bourbon cake. The fruit and cheese plate will cure that case of late-night, post-movie munchies.

I happened on this place by accident then didn't know what to order and got to have the best tasting coffee I've experienced. So fresh and tasty and just plain unusual. After many good cups of joe in Seattle this was such a delight because of the reinterpretation of the standard, yeah it's good. But this was GREAT! I want to hang longer and play battleship and listen to live music. But I'm afraid unless there is dancing I'll be jumpin' and jiving from the enormous number of coffees I'll imbibe! Wowzer! You must try it!
Pros: parking, environment, next to a book store
Cons: sells beer?

The painting on the interior wall is what makes this cafe so unique, but the quality of coffee also makes this place worthwhile coming back every other day! The milk foam is always as creamy as whipped cream. The molasses flavored sweet espresso is so addictive... We just moved in the neighborhood, and I can't say that El Diablo was not one of the reasons we bought the house.
Pros: Espresso; street parking in front of the store available most of the time; friendly service
