was in the vicinity on a no kings protest saturday morning. stopped in and got a tangerine cardamom scone and a chai which i ordered extra hot. i didn't have time to really hang out waiting for a crepe but the options looked great and i heard others in line ordering them and discussing how good they are (clearly i should find time to come back.) here's the things i appreciated in the short time i was there, in no particular order: friendly service, especially considering i'm not a regular. great jazz music playing and a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere. someone out wiping down unoccupied tables. my chai was indeed HOT, and stayed that way for quite some time. read more

How I heard of this place: Cafe Javasti has been around probably since I moved to Seattle in the early 2000s. That being said, it wasn't until recently, when a friend invited me to join her for coffee and crepes that I entered the cafe. Type of cuisine: Espresso beverages, pastries and crepes - sweet and savory varieties. Ambiance: A bustling Maple Leaf neighborhood cafe, set in a small strip of shops, with minimal outdoor seating, and cramped indoor seating. A large window at the front provides natural light. The display of pastries, salads and sandwiches is in your immediate view upon entry. The clatter of knives on plates, chatter among patrons and staff distracts from any music that might be playing in the background. What I ordered: On my first visit, a number 13 ($11.75): Savory crepe with sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, spinach and a tarragon sauce. On my second visit, the number 8 ($11.75): ham, Swiss, spinach and tarragon sauce. I also selected a mocha, which was topped with a heavy portion of whipped cream. What I loved: The tarragon sauce is fresh and vibrant, providing a great addition to the earthy flavors of the mushroom crepe. Why I loved it: It's an easy, neighborhood spot with casual, pleasant vibes. Cost: Average read more

They have a lot of bakery and then a huge menu for crepes. The only downside for me is that there's not a ton of room for adjustments with dairy in the crepes. The service was fantastic and though there's only two tables outside, it was a nice little neighborhood spot. read more

Not impressed by the buckwheat crepes at all- go for regular if you don't have major issues with wheat! The regular ones have been much better in the past. The toppings were extremely light. I added arugula to mine, however the arugula was mostly yellow and gross- a little shocked they actually served it. Service was good, and although the crepes take a while the gal was very pleasant and nice. The shop itself is on the smaller side, and a little cramped if you go at busy times. Not a fast place, if you're in a hurry. read more

I always visit Seattle once a year and my girls aunt lives down the street. She introduced us to this place. Been coming here every year. The crapes are amazing the chorizo super good. Coffee super good not to strong and not to sweet. Service is top notch. Fast quick and everything is set out of you to help yourself. Environment is quiet people come and study or work. Quiet vibing music. Only down side it's a bit pricy overall love it. read more

The food is innovative delicious and freshly made to order. The service is fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable.

Friendly enough employees but incompetent at crepes and terrible at estimating. I was first told 45 minutes for 4 crepes, I gave them 50, walked in to see the crepe-maker chipping a failed crepe off the griddle. There were only 2 order post-its up near the crepe station. Was then told 20 more, and then when I came back again was told 15 more. When I finally got them home 2 were OK but the two with strawberries were really stingy on berries and the Nutella in 1 was liquefied. It was read more

I don't want to leave a poor review, but if the barista, who also took my order, doesn't know what a flat white is, why wouldn't they ask for a description instead of making a watery, foamy latte? There is no place to wait for your order and it is very awkward. I was the only one waiting and had to move so an employee could get to the bus tubs. The flow is the least concerning issue, but it doesn't help customers feel welcome. This is the second time I've been disappointed with my espresso order. The Wedgwood location is better in all categories. read more

I really liked the savory without mozzarella cheese, since I have trouble with that issue, sometimes seating is difficult to find, you have to snag a table and chair, maybe put your coat and bag over it as a place holder, the restrooms are okay when both of them work, if there's a line, then of course you'll have to wait, maybe go do your laundry and come back-there's a laundromat within steps away outside. If you live nearby it's a great walk to place, if you have a few extra dollars. read more

Amazing crepes and coffee! What more can you ask for. We drive across town to come here definitely some of the best crepes you can find. We ordered the Nutella and Banana sweet crepe and the ham and Swiss savory crepe. A perfect balance of sweet and savory. Both very tasty and made to perfection. The service here is awesome. I love that the chef takes pride in the look and taste of these and as he walks it out to you he knows your going to be excited. We also love the coffee here and they make it quickly. This location has a decent amount of seating but every time we come it's pretty packed. We can usually grab a seat. If it's warmer weather they also have a few seats outside. Check this place out you won't be disappointed. read more

The coffee is fantastic, the pastries delicious, the service perfect. And there isn't a bad seat in the house.

First time at this location, and I think I prefer the Wedgwood spot which doesn't feel as chaotic. Or maybe this was an exception to the norm. The food and drink here were still good, but the flow or lack thereof didn't work for me. It was around noon on a busy Sunday, and we were lucky to claim a two-top when we arrived, and even luckier to expand to accommodate four of us when the rest of our party showed up soon afterwards. We were told when we ordered that it would be a half hour before we'd get our crepes. Grateful for the heads up, we grabbed a couple pastries with our coffees to tide us over. Coffee pick-up on the other end of the counter was a little dysfunctional. We couldn't hear them call out coffee orders across the small cafe, but there's not really room to mill around the coffee bar because that's where they're bringing out crepe orders and where people are bussing dishes. My latte sat in front of me at the bar for a while before I realized it was "mine" because it wasn't what I'd ordered. I politely asked them to remake it, which they did, but everyone was in go-mode (read: abrupt) which made it seem like a great inconvenience leading me to feel bad for their mistake. Anyway, it all turned out fine and the crepes were tasty. I usually go with a #12 (Olive tapenade, roasted bell peppers, goat cheese, spinach) or #13 (Sauteed mushrooms, swiss cheese, tomatoes, spinach, tarragon sauce) but instead tried the #10 (Fresh mushrooms, pesto, mozzarella, tomato). The fresh mushrooms cooled it down too quickly, so next time I'll revert to one of my regular favorites. And it will likely be at the other location. read more

I only got baked goods no coffee here. What I got was great. If I got a cup of black coffee that would have been a nice compliment to my sweets. I got some type of berry bar and a protein cookie. Both had lots of oats and lots. Wasn't very busy and the staff was ok, not very friendly. read more

The food and drink are both solid! Came here a couple times for drinks but first time ordering the crepe. The paste inside tastes like some variation of honey Dijon. There's way less cheese than I was expecting and the spinach is raw. The overall flavor is not the best but it's a nice crepe nonetheless. The mocha is great! Not too sweet and strong cocoa flavor. I have got the matcha latte couple times too and it's very good as well. Service great ambiance great read more

The good: The crepes (and coffee) are incredible. The bad: Vastly unimpressed with the service at this location compared to the Wedgwood location. The biggest disappointment, though, was that the internet didn't work. The staff offered to restart the router, which was very kind, but the internet still didn't work after that - a major bummer considering the reason I came and bought food/coffee was to use the internet to work. read more

This location and the Wedgwood one are my go to cafes in town. couldn't recommend enough

Great stop for dine in or take out, great community/coffeehouse vibes and lots of cute dogs - dog treats are available by the door so you see lots of excited pups sitting out front. I had a coupon for half off a purchase here so I got a apple cinnamon buckwheat crepe and a pumpkin spice latte. Service was helpful and friendly even when busy. Everything tasted pretty good and was out pretty quick for the amount of people in there. For to go orders they ask if you need cutlery and provide the food in compostable take away boxes. I brought a canvas bag to put it all in, it doesn't appear that they provide bags. Super nice little place totally worth a stop. read more

A nice cafe with sweet and savory crepes within the $7-11 range, just a hop and skip away from Maple Leaf Park. This is their flagship store. They offer dog treats to the left of the entrance! Everyone was friendly. My friend and I sat at a table outside and enjoyed our savory crepes, which came in around 15 minutes: #8 with ham, swiss, spinach and tarragon sauce, and #11 with chicken, pesto, mozzarella and tomato. The ingredients and flavors were well-balanced and delicious, they were generous with the meat, and the portion was great for lunch. These crepes really hit the spot. I especially recommend #11 if you're a fan of pesto! Through Cafe Javasti, we enjoyed a taste of this peaceful and interesting neighborhood. read more

Scrumptious crepes, good coffee, and excellent customer service! This is a small cafe that offers sweet and savory crepes, shakes, coffee, pastries, sandwiches, cookies, and more. Crepes are made to order and quite large! They cost around $10 each. We ordered the strawberry and Nutella - my sugar loving teen niece couldn't finish it. Daughter enjoyed the simple bacon, egg, cheese Sister in law ordered the Greek style - olives, feta, and maybe tomato...she Loved it! The monster cookie was thick and chewy Will definitely return to try more crepes and pastries. read more

I love Javasti! Fantastic baked goods and crepes and the chocolate zucchini bread is amazing. Coffee is good, tea is loose leaf and the staff is nice. I've been going to the 5th Ave location for at least ten years and it never disappoints. read more

It's been a little over a year since I wrote a 3-star review on Café Javasti, but things have drastically improved! I don't go as often as I used to (due to work-related changes, not because of Javasti) but whenever I do go, I've always had a positive experience. It feels good to know there's a trusted coffeeshop option in the neighborhood! read more

Service is amazing. Vibe is great, inclusive! I have a lactose intolerance and ordered something with pesto and was so focused on asking if the pesto had dairy that I forgot to let them know to take off mozzarella. The person making my crepe followed up with me to make sure the mozzarella was ok and I just thought that was so insightful to double check, because I had totally forgot! read more

Maybe a fluke visit? I ordered the ice vanilla latte and two oat milk lattes and was pretty disappointed. I've heard great things about the crepes so definitely will come back to try but my vanilla latte was pretty watered down even after the initial sip. The melting ice didn't help either as it kept just getting watered down. My friend's oat milk latte tasted only like oat milk with a very light coffee taste. Paid $18 + tip for three drinks which isn't unreasonable for coffee, but was definitely overpriced for the value/satisfaction. read more

Cafe Javasti.~ This is the cutest little coffee shop ever that has local vibes and is a hidden gem. This is near a residential area and parking is plentiful in front of the homes nearby. The inside has a mom and pop shop vibe with plenty of yummy looking options for food and drink. I opted for the *Scones* which were super fresh, soft, and delectable. The strawberry and blueberries were delicious inside. For drinks I had a Vanilla Latte which had good strength and a light sweetness which complimented my sweet treats. 5 Stars! read more

Sweet crepes here are amazing. Perfect fillings and taste. I tried no 1 and 2 on the menu. Loved the ambience. I would however rate savory crepes as 4/5 but I have not tried many. The fillings could be enhanced. I think some sauces would help boost the taste, not sure if I missed noticing. read more

I think this is one of my favorite cafes in Seattle! It's a small,warm,cozy, and charming space where people meet to practice conversational Spanish, enjoy some crepes, and sip some good coffee. They offer everything I personally want in a cafe: quality coffee made in every way, savory and sweet crepes, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries to name a few. The staff is nice and and work to keep the steady flow of patrons served. I don't know if they get the press they deserve as one of Seattle's must try coffee spots, but the people who go, know. read more

Strawberry vanilla whip cream crepe, like woah! Quite possibly the best crepe I've ever had. I was surprised to have casually ordered this and to be blown away by its taste. I'm picking on my crepes, especially if it's too little crepe filling or if it's overly loaded. This one was just right and I could write pages and pages about this crepe, but you have to try it to believe it. The coffee was the right complement, white mocha and double shot strong! A nice hole in the wall coffee shop that serves breakfast and lunch. It's a small place but plenty of tables to sit and friendly locals coming and going! Also if I haven't mentioned this, try the strawberry crepe....! read more

I came here for the gluten free crêpes, which I got with apricot jam and goat cheese, and it tasted pretty good! The toppings were great and I'm sure it would've been amazing on a standard crêpe. But If you get a gluten-free one, expect it to taste/feel gluten-free. (I've just started eating gluten free so I'm still caught in the "it's not the same~" mentality, but that's not Café Javasti's fault.) What caught me off guard was how much I enjoyed the oatmilk matcha latte... as a barista of many years, it's not often that I'm so pleasantly surprised. Vibes are good and the milk is velvety-- can't ask for much more! read more

Very solid cafe. I seem to keep finding my way here one way or another. Bout Time I took time to write a review.... they have amazing crepes. Probably the best in Seattle. And all for a reasonable price. There's really no need to say much else besides they also have your typical cafe offerings like coffee and juice and a few other yummy baked goods. read more

A lovely little cafe in the maple leaf neighborhood. A great place to great a cup of coffee and walk to maple leaf park. Another perfect studying spot for students. However, there are limited seats and limited outlets. I personally love studying here and grabbing a nice warm latte. If you want a nice snack, they make good crepes that can be savory or sweet! The employees are so nice and kind. As required by all food and drink establishments they do check vaccination cards. So do not forget to bring that or a photo of it. Because of COVID, they do leave the door open for ventilation of the cafe to protect you and the employees. It does get chilly so I recommend bringing a nice warm coat to wear to keep you warm. Parking (3/5): Street parking only. Around the neighborhood, there are usually parking spots with 30 minute or 2 hr limits. Other areas don't have a limit for the study folks :) Overall a great cafe to come and have a nice cup of coffee. read more

Consistently great baked goods, solid coffee, and delicious crepes! This is one of our go-tos, in part due to the variety and high quality of the baked goods. Unlike many of the other coffee shops in the area, Javasti bakes their own, and everything is delicious! Zucchini bread, monster cookie, banana bread, and more. Coffee is consistently good, too! Outdoor seating area is small but if you get a spot, it's a nice spot to sit and enjoy your food. I'd recommend ordering crepes ahead, as these may require a bit of a wait, particularly if others ahead of you have ordered crepes. For those reading earlier reviews, neither vax cards nor masks are required now that the mandates have lifted. read more

I've been going to Cafe Javasti for close to 8 months. I want to highlight the great family friendly vibe and exceptional customer service.

Cashier with silvery purple hair took nearly 10 minutes just to take the single order of the lady in front of us. Our order was simple; we all ordered the same crepe to go. We still waited 40 minutes for them. They each sat getting cold while the single crepe cook finished them one at a time. There were a lot of people working but while the crepe cook was working very hard was not clear what the other staff were doing to help. The crepes are still some of the best I have tasted. That's the dilemma. Cook is great. Food is great. Experience and wait time is awful. So I suggest getting them to go, reheating when you get home, and being prepared to wait at least half an hour or more after ordering for them, or eating in with time to kill an hour while you wait for your food and ask for them as they are done or 1st one will be cold while you wait for the 2nd etc. Be ready to eat before everybody is served in your party or eat cold food. Or maybe the owner will better train his or her staff and get a 2nd crepe cooking station so service is faster, and get heat lamps so warm food is kept warm. Actual crepe cooks deserve a raise. Both weekday and weekend ones. We have gone both times and both cooks were exceptional. read more
