Café Hagen is my go-to in downtown Kirkland, and I've been enough times, big groups, quiet family mornings, to know it holds up. The seating is the main draw for me: an open interior with booths inside, plus patio tables when the weather cooperates. There's room either way, so it works whether I'm with a crowd or just family wanting something low-key. It gets busy, which makes sense given how popular it is and where it sits downtown, but the wait is always shorter than I'd expect. Service is fast and friendly even on weekends. The food backs it up. It's a Copenhagen-inspired spot with coffee roasted in-house, and everything I've had has been solid, the almond croissant especially. Reliably good, and that's why I keep going back. read more

The service was nice. The ambiance is cute, definitely gets loud with the drunk older crowd. The food: we got a few pastries. Anything not in the fridge is absolutely disgusting, completely ridden with flies. They were still selling these pasties that had soooo many flies all over them, It's disturbing. Definitely only get the refrigerated ones. The domos were ok but over priced. The coffee: vanilla latte was ok. Tasted very acidic/under extracted. The cold brew was also bleh. It's an interesting experience, I think we would be back for the pastries if they weren't so covered in flies, but seeing as they are, probably won't be back. read more

The selection of pastries and breakfast options were great. We ordered the breakfast croissant to split (it was a large portion, if not super hungry it's perfect to split.) My daughter had the seasonal jam waffle with added fresh berries. WOW! So fresh and delicious. Our iced Americanos were equally as good. It's also a nice spot, walking distance to the water. Literally my only critique, the music is so loud. read more

I love exploring cozy cafes and Cafe Hagen is always at the top of my list. I tried their Kirkland waterfront location for the first time today and it's just as lovely as their other locations. The coffee is consistently great and I also really enjoy their Red Beet Hummus Toast. The cafe has beautiful aesthetics with a warm, cozy vibe, making it a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends or get some work done. Definitely one of my favorite cafe chains in the Seattle area. read more

05/22/2026 Came here for brunch with a friend around 9am on a Friday with a short line. You order at the counter, and they deliver it to your table. They had pastry cases full of sweet and savory items, but we focused on the Brunch menu on this visit. My friend loves their Seasonal Waffle, so she ordered that. I opted for savory and got the Healthy Skillet with smoked bacon. The Seasonal Waffle was so cute with the mini waffles topped with fresh berries (must see the photo!). My dish was delicious, and the toasted bread tasted so fresh (the menu said it's baked daily). I also loved the interior which felt elegant yet comfortable. There was also patio seating out front which seemed perfect on a sunny day in Kirkland, WA. I would definitely come back here! read more

Visited Cafe Hagan while visiting Kirkland. They have a nice spacious space with lots of sitting both indoor and outdoor. The overall vibe has some people working, eating, drinking, so a little bit of everything. They have a small but serious menu; offering a wide variety of items. As with their coffee selections- they also have a wide variety of coffee options. I went with their Sakura Bliss Latte- cherry blossom and coconut and asked for hlaf the amount of sweetner, it was perfect! As you make your way up to the counter you realize they have pastries and quiche and other breakfast items. I decided to go with their ham and cheese quiche. It was delicious! My only complaint here is the quiche is too big for the tiny plate they serve it on, making it hard to eat. read more

Cafe Hagen - Nordic Toast - Cafes Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I appreciate the creativity in the menu with some not very common items like a flight of hot cocoa. The pastries are legit although I have only tried a bite of 2 different ones. Honestly as this place ca get very packed. Good news is that there are plenty of tables and the decor is modern and feels fresh. Service is what's to be expected for a place where you order and pay at the register and go sit down until your order comes out. I had the avocado tots and while it was tasty, the bread was very thick and hard to cut. The croissant sandwich was good and the coffee too. read more

Amazing pastry and house music in the AM with patio seating? Sign me up every weekend!! Things are pricey but given the quality and the vibe/location, I'd say it's worth it. My favorite was the cinnamon roll (it's not overly sweet either). Would definitely try more pastry read more

I love how every cafe hagen location has its own unique vibe...for the kirkland location, it feels like a peaceful upscale restaurant. The space is very clean and quickly taken care of when someone gets up. The service is quality and the food is delicious and fresh! The bread for my tuna sandwich was SO airy and fluffy (shown in pic) and the ratio for veggies to tuna was so satisfying, i literally savored every bite. The turkey caprese sandwich was moist, crunchy and melted in my mouth all at the same time. The drinks are always consistent and it's the perfect sweetness and I can actually taste the coffee unlike other places that just water it down. Very consistent and tasty options. Would love to come back and try something new. read more

CAFE HAGEN @ KIRKLAND Parking is street parking only, but it fills up pretty quickly. I highly recommend parking in their lot (it does cost you) or looking for free street parking along the lake, which is the same street the café is on. My friend and I stumbled upon this place while walking by, and the outside instantly caught our eye. It was so cute, the patio, the tables, the whole vibe. Inside, it was modern, clean, and really welcoming, so we had to check it out. They had a menu posted right outside, which I appreciated, and they offered a solid variety of coffees, food items, and all the usual bakery and café staples. We ended up just getting two vanilla iced lattes, which came out to $16. I tipped 25%, so it was around $19 total for both drinks. We were given a number, picked any seat we wanted, and sat in one of the booth areas. It was busy, but you could still find seating inside or outside. One of the staff brought out only one drink, and about 10 minutes later we realized the other latte had been sitting on the counter melting. No worries, I just grabbed it myself. It was a little watered down, but the flavor was still really good. It wasn't overly sweet, they didn't overload it with ice, and it was served in a nice glass cup since we dined in. I really loved how modern and cozy this café was. It felt like the perfect spot to grab a coffee or a pastry and work on my laptop. Even though there were a lot of people, the noise was just light background chatter. The staff was friendly, the ambiance was super nice, and overall I had a great experience. I'd definitely come back next time and try the food. read more

Lovely modern-chic Scandinavian cafe right by HeyDay in downtown kirkland. We were a party of 4 and came in for brunch on a Thursday but sadly couldn't find any indoor seating. It was super packed - understandable considering the time of day. Thankfully the weather was acceptable and we sat outside. Service was good. The coffees were excellent! And a favorite at our table was the almond croissant I'm gluten free and it would have been helpful if items on the menu were labeled. I asked if the avocado chicken salad was gf and it turns out that the dressing contains soy sauce which is a no-no, so they said they could sub the dressing to another one that doesn't contain soy but that's a little spicy. I said that was fine...Unfortunately though it wasn't a little spicy it was very spicy (at least for me and I typically have no problem with spicy food), so truthfully I didn't get to enjoy my salad or finish it. For anyone that can't tolerate spicy food, ask for the almonds to be removed. Nice place, check it out! read more

This new cafe is aesthetically beautiful and very spacious. I loved the seasonal Sakura latte, and it's great that they offer decaf, chai, and plenty of breakfast items like croissant sandwiches and toasts. Just a heads-up, they don't have Wi-Fi, and the cell signal is a bit weak for a hotspot, so it's better for socializing than working. I'll definitely be back to try more of their pastries. read more

I was so excited to try Cafe Hagen and was a bit disappointed. We got there for breakfast on a weekend and the place was packed. We got the Breakfast Croissant, Croque Monsieur, Mokka and Hot Kakao. Our drinks were good, but took a long time to come out, we got them after our food. The Breakfast Croissant was good, the Croque Monsieur was disappointing. When we ordered, she said she would out it in to get the cheese melting. When I got it, the cheese on top had melted, but the cheese inside hadn't even started melting, in fact the center was still cold. The pastries looked good, I might be back to try them. read more

IF YOU LOVE PASTRIES, LIKE THEY HAVE IN EUROPE, YOU MUST COME THRU TO CAFE HAGEN. I've loved Cafe Hagen since they opened their bellevue location. Makes me so happy that they opened one up here in DT Kirkland. Go to is a Croissant, Vanilla Latte, and any of their breakfast options are 10/10. No joke. And if you feeling European, get a croissant and dip it in your latte! Life Hack unlocked lol. read more

Loved this brand new spot! There is ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and the decor was clean and cute. I went during their first week - other than a slight hitch in a menu item name, everything went seamlessly, and service was super friendly. I got a matcha latte and the brunch board. The latte art was so pretty! The macadamia milk they use is pre-sweetened so the drink was a little too sweet for me even though I got no additional sweetener - just a personal preference. The brunch board was huge, and everything tasted super fresh and homemade. Loved the variety of items included, and I especially loved that they give you a (perfectly ripe) avocado + the mini waffle and cream was a lovely way to end the meal. Parking is not too difficult if you don't mind parking a little further away. Looking forward to trying some of their pastries next time! read more

Order first then sit down kinda place. The selection of pastries was pretty good and fresh even though they won't reheat any of the pastries for you. The cashier was polite and prompt. The kouign-amann was decent and soft. Also ordered a couple Mac nut lattes, a croque madame plus egg add-on and the healthy skillet. The healthy skillet was somewhat disappointing as it was mostly tomatoes and seem to overpower the dish. All in all, happy to see Kirkland not just get yet another Mexican restaurant. read more

Listen, I don't know if what I had here was a Supreme Croissant or a chocolate schnecke, but it was HEAVAN! This half chocolate dipped yumminess was only bought after not a single slice of Chocolate Marble Cake was left. Also, what is up with that guys!? It's like everyone got the memo that it's fantastic. So, let's get back to this circular gift from the food gods. IT WAS DELICIOUS! And not only that I found out that their Kouign Amann is legitimately the second best Kouign Amann I've every had in my life (the best will forever be Midori... aaahh I miss that place) but I digress, did you guys see the insane coffee art these guys make! Love it love it love it! read more

My table had the Avocado Toast, Healthy Skillet, Matcha Latte, and the cold brew. I had the skillet and cold brew, so I will speak on that - the skillet itself was decent - lots of variety in the pan. I wish that there was a lot more flavor as I definitely think the oiliness overwhelmed the ingredients. The cold brew was alright, I wish it was a bit darker and stronger. The service was great as they were able to fix our latte (wanted iced) and they were helpful when we were choosing what to get. The ambiance of the place is pretty loud and a tad chaotic as it is a small open area with lots of people chatting. With the huge line that it normally has, seating is typically hard to find but we were able to find a spot. Nevertheless, for a quick brunch near the water on a sunny day? I would come back here. read more

unpleasant staff overall and have only been here twice. food is mid, pastries are mostly dry and stale and same w most drinks ( least the ones with coffee in it). second time i came they forgot my pastry which I requested to be warmed up ( took them over 30 mins to do so) so I left and had to get my husband to go get it. Not organized and clear lack in customer service read more

This place gets a five for some of the wonderful vegan options like their tofu on their lunch menu. I'd love to see some yummy chocolate vegan pastry options. I would agree with the other reviewers say this is not really a Scandinavian style. It felt a bit more California meets Northwest. It's a very happening spot if you want action and energy, but not too loud. It works. If you want very quiet and not to be part of the sea scene, I would go to the café just to the north on the street to Sano I'll do more of an update as I explore their menu and put more photos. I'm really happy that it's here and I'm so grateful for having menu options for all different types of eaters. The coffee options look great, and they make their own cardamom and chai mixes. read more

Really nice large pastries and the coffee is good. I'm happy to have Hagen especially as downtown lost Starbucks as a place to grab some carbs and coffee and walk around Kirkland. I must say that the music is quite strange and loud. Feels club vibe and when I look around the clientele is not club clientele. Despite the noise issues, I like Hagen and I wish them well. read more

I was disappointed with the customer service during my visit. The barista, Marianna, came across as rude and unfriendly, which made the experience unpleasant. I would like to ask the management to coach her on communicating with customers in a more polite and respectful manner. I always appreciate friendly service, and I'm happy to leave a tip when staff are welcoming, smile, and treat customers kindly. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience this time. I hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience in the future. read more

Overall, it was just okay -- the food and coffee were both decent. However, as someone quite familiar with Danish design and culture, I found the experience a bit lacking in authenticity. The food had some Danish touches, but the ambiance was far from hygge. The loud music and flashy, contemporary (non-Nordic) design made it feel more bling than cozy. For a more genuinely hygge vibe, Truline, Zoka, or Sana next door do it much better. read more
