„The Capuchin order of friars, established after 1525, played an important role in bringing Catholicism back to Reformation Europe. Its Italian name came from the long, pointed cowl, or cappuccino, derived from cappuccio, "hood," that was worn as part of the order's habit. The French version of cappuccino was capuchin, from which came English Capuchin. In Italian cappuccino went on to describe espresso coffee mixed or topped with steamed milk or cream, so called because the color of the coffee resembled the color of the habit of a Capuchin friar.“

„Traditional Italian is what Torrefazione is (and always has been) about. Walk into any Torrefazione Italia location and order a cappuccino served in the company’s fine Italian Deruta ceramic cups and you’ll be transported. The company’s Pioneer Square location is wonderful because of the neighborhood’s history and its proximity to several of Seattle’s best sights for tourists. Torrefazione also has locations in Seattle’s financial district (downtown on 1310 4th Ave., between Union and University), the quirky, ever-changing Fremont neighborhood on 701 N.“
