    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

    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.

    Wilted, yellow arugula. Very light on fillings.

    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.

    The best place for a good breakfast. Crepes served here is delicious. Cute little cafe. It's busy most of the time. Service was great. They make fresh and hot crepes

    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.

    Black Forest Ham , Fresh Spinach , And Mozzarella crepe + mocha

    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

    Seasonal Latte with a little leaf design! Nice touch! They have Oat milk and other options too

    I live close, so I've been a few times. The pastries are OK, but not worth the price or wait time. The coffee however, is disgusting.

The interior is small, though they have additional seating outside. Many diners got to-go orders, which is surprising since crepes get soggy easily. Anyway, service was fine. The guy tried to be courteous but failed; I won't go into details. Prices are a touch higher than the nearby place; they include a salad to differentiate for the savory crepes. I wish creperies differentiate how they make the base crepe depending on savory vs. sweet. Savory ones benefit from more oil to enhance the seared flavor, while sweet ones don't. Their base crepe is good, not great. The Food: Merguez, $20 - 2.5 Stars This crepe has spicy Moroccan lamb sausage with onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and peppers. The overall size is modest. Hubby orders lamb often but was disappointed with these lamb sausages. He said they mostly taste like little smokies. Not a complimentary description. Norvegienne, $21 - 3.5 Stars This crepe has smoked salmon, spinach, capers, red onion, and crème fraiche. The salmon didn't taste as smoked as I would like. They are similar to the plain lox variety that might be on a bagel, which is not as flavorful. On the plus side, I thought this is a well-stuffed crepe. The included salad for both is a mixed greens with tomatoes, feta, parmesan, olives, tomatoes, and range dressing. I wish restaurants spill out their ingredients on menus. I don't like cold cheese; I could have saved them some money and tell them to skip it on mine.

    This is a nice spot where you can find all varieties of crepes, including both savory and sweet…read moreoptions. I came by around 4 PM on a Monday and found the space quiet with few customers, which was perfect for getting a bit of work done since they also offer free Wi-Fi. The staff was friendly and efficient in preparing and serving my food. I really enjoyed my breakfast egg, cheddar, and sausage crepe. Note that they automatically charge a 10% service fee. Parking was easy, with both a parking lot and garage available around the plaza.
