Unfortunately this is generally their only savory pastry, sometimes there may be one more. If you love sweet pastries you'll generally find chocolate and almond croissants, morning buns, danishes with seasonal fruit... I haven't had a chance to dine in but there are two tables outside on the patio as well as some counter seating by the front window. The service is always wonderful and the women that have worked the front counter when I've gone in are always so friendly and welcoming. It's a super cute spot and a lovely addition to the neighborhood - make sure to get there early on weekends or be prepared to wait in a bit of a line (~10 to 15 mins)

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

It was a bit confusing as they aren't only pastries and they had a different name out front (I think it was Traditional Japanese Cuisine or similar). The server was very friendly and polite taking my order and they had it ready quite quickly. I tried to order on the app at first but it would say they were out of things that they weren't out of when I ordered with the server. I liked my sushi and matcha cheesecake (not pictured because I ate it too fast) and also the genmaicha! They don't have any alternative milk for the tea lattes though so keep that in mind if you're needing a nondairy option.

The flavors were rich, and decent portions because of heavy cholately cake and icecream combo - can easily share. However, as we entered, I expected that warm, chocolatey aroma to hit, but it was something different (not saying it was bad). The ambiance was cozy and noisy (didn't bother us). In terms of value, it's on the higher side - maybe justifiable if shared, but you might find more variety elsewhere for the same price. Worth a try - maybe as a one-time treat, or if you've got someone visiting. Take a bit of time for cake to come - relatively fast service. Rating: 3.5/5

The shop is adorable inside and out, and the staff super friendly. Pop in for a slice, bring some home, or get a whole pie for your next gathering, you'll be the hero.

It must…read morehave been after a class ended at the nearby dance school because there were bunch of kids and their parents in the bakery. The line looked quite disorganized and I was confused. The cashier had to yell to make customers line up properly. The line was longer than I thought, and I wasn't in the mood to wait so I left empty handed the first time round. I had another chance the same day to revisit around 15 minutes before close, so I took that chance. There were only one other party being helped, and there were still plenty of baked goods to choose from. I was eyeing the demi baguette and the scone since the morning, so I got them. I was excited about the baguette because it was like $2.7 each, whereas the same thing costs like $6 at sea wolf. I wanted to find out if the baguette is as good as the one at sea wolf, and if so, I would start coming here because it's much closer to where I live. And Larsen's delivered on the baguette! It was dense in the right way and went well with the brie cheese I had on hand. Sea wolf's are kind of elevated with the half sourdough but Larsen's baguette tasted pretty on par for me, and you cannot beat the price here. This was a happy discovery! Scone was average. I am interested in trying their other stuff. It was interesting that they had a rather American baked goods like donuts and cookies. I'll take whatever is good and reasonably priced!

I ordered a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and loved how perfectly the chocolate was incorporated into my drink! It tasted sweet and the coffee added the robust flavour I love in my mochas My boyfriend had never tried a Moroccan Fog before and he loved how sweet it was without him having to add sugar. He especially loved that it had just the right amount of mint flavoring without being toothpaste For breakfast, I ordered their fruit danish! I love that they had different options of fruit to pick from and I chose blueberry! The pastry was perfectly flaky and I loved how fresh the blueberry tasted. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate croissant because he was excited at the idea of the chocolate being piped through the croissant and also drizzled over the top, but it turns out the dark brown parts on top are just design and not more chocolate. Still, he was pleased with the amount of chocolate in the croissant and the bite I had was heavenly. The champagne cake caught my eye as I was ordering and I just had to try a bite, it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved how light the cake was and the layers of flavour through the whole dessert! I love how bright and airy the cafe is! My boyfriend and I were easily able to find seating by the windows and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the space needle and people watching as we shared breakfast. The staff here was also patient and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back and try more of their pastries!!

I got the matcha tiramisu, which is pricy and quite frankly for me wasn't really worth the cost but it's also not something I would make myself. The flavor felt rather heavy on the cheese which makes sense given the type of cake but not what I was expecting. As a dessert it wasn't too sweet and I found that between the latte and the cake, they were on similar levels. By default, the latte is hot. They do charge more for alternative milk and serving it iced which I found a bit unusual. I wasn't particularly wow-ed but it wasn't bad. Overall I wasn't overly impressed but it's a cute cafe with unique enough servings. They are also able to cater to a Japanese clientele (shout out to the staff member who could speak Japanese and made sure that the group before me got their drinks)
