    Exterior (7/27/25)
    Marie B.

    Dordlofva is well situated and has high visibility in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood (7/27/25). It has limited onsite and outdoor seating at the moment. They offer the usual indie cafe bevs, ice cream, cake and few pastries. I opted for an iced mocha and savory bacon and leek quiche slice. I appreciated the quiche was heated up. One large and loud group pretty much took up the center cafe seating. I snagged a window facing stool by the entrance and gawked at passersby while having my pricey treats. 3.5 stars rounded to 4. Good to check out, but for me, one and done.

    Ice Sunset Matcha Latte (rating: 5/5)
    Lydia L.

    4.5 stars rounding up to 5 stars. TLDR: delicious ice cream, creative high quality yet pricey matcha latte, but unclear pricing for seasonal drinks, inconvenient setup for ice cream sampling, and not very personable service. We've been to Dordlofva twice so far. The first time we got their ice cream, and the second time we tried their sunset Matcha latte and sorbet. The ice cream/sorbet flavors we tried so far are blackberry & ginger (sorbet), peach cobbler, strawberry cheesecake, and raspberry (sorbet). We liked all of them. The strawberries cheesecake was perfectly creamy when sampled, but can be overwhelmingly rich when you finish the entire scoop. The peach cobbler flavor on the other hand, was not too impressive when sampled, but evolved to taste so well balanced between the sweet and sour, and refreshing at a full scoop. I'd highly recommend complementing the strawberry cheesecake with the peach cobbler flavor. It's a great pair, and their second scoop is very reasonably priced. These two are definitely at the top of my favorite ice cream flavor list. My partner liked both sorbet flavors, but would prefer the raspberry to be more sour. The only caveat with getting ice cream or sorbet at Dordlofva is that they have an extremely inconvenient setup for sampling. They do allow sampling, yet all their flavors are stored in separate round buckets in the freezer. So to sample different flavors, the staff had to take out each bucket, lift the tight lid, and scoop you the sample. It was a painful process to watch and made me feel bad to make sampling requests... I also tried their sunset match latte, in addition to the delicious ice creams. It was creative with a beautiful color palette and great taste combo (bitter match, creamy milk, with refreshing sweetness and sourness from strawberry puree and peach puree). I really enjoyed it, esp. for the fact that it was not too sweet. The only caveat with their seasonal drinks is that they don't clearly list the price. I was a bit surprised to be charged $6+ for this 8-oz drink since their regular match was priced at $5. The cashier was nice to answer questions and provide ice cream samples, but always had a slightly grumpy look that made us feel uneasy to ask more questions or clarify the prices. I would not describe his vibes as friendly...

    Ordered the quiche, brown sugar cookie, latte and a cortado. Latte was great, cortado was a bit strong and food was great.

    Good place to get Matcha, coffee,, and pastry around Fremont. Good service and good prices. I recommend them and will come back.

    Friendly and fast service! They were very helpful in pointing out which of their items were dairy free. They didn't happen to have any dairy free bakery. There's lots of tables in and outside. I enjoyed my London fog and would come back again!

    Fremont has a new coffee shop: DORDLOFVA just had its soft opening! The space is clean, modern, and very inviting, and the service was excellent. I tried a mocha with nonfat milk and a Swedish marzipan knot that they warmed up for me. As someone who enjoys a strong, rich coffee, I felt the mocha could have been a bit more rich in both chocolate and coffee notes, perhaps because I chose nonfat milk. The pastry dough of the mascarpone knot was good, but the marzipan itself was quite subtle, lacking the flavor I'd hoped for - though that might just be my personal preference. Regardless, it's wonderful to have another coffee option in Fremont!

The foam was so deliciously creamy. I loved the lemon flavor, and it worked well with the matcha. I think they could have done a little more lemon, but I always think that. They have lots of beautiful looking pastries to try. The croissants were especially beautiful to admire. There is ample amounts of seating, so you can choose to take your goodies or eating them inside. I went in the early afternoon, so there wasn't any line, but I am sure if you went at brunch time, it would be a whole different story. It is close-ish to Greenlake, so if you are willing to brave the hill, then it is a great post walk/ post workout spot.

Definitely one of the more unique and memorable drinks I've had in a while. I also got the oat and coconut cookie, which was absolutely divine. It was incredibly soft and had a great texture, with the coconut adding a really nice flavor. Honestly one of those cookies you wish you had grabbed two of. The service was also super friendly, which made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe felt warm and inviting. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable, which is always a nice bonus. Great drinks, amazing baked goods, and kind service--would definitely come back.

    A good day always starts with a good cup of coffee!…read more On our first morning in Seattle, my daughter and I found this little coffee shop nearby with excellent reviews, and it turned out to be a wonderful start to our day. My daughter ordered the June special, the Fruity Pebbles Cold Foam Cold Brew, while I chose the Brown Sugar Latte. The special drink was beautifully presented, and my daughter loved both its unique flavor and refreshing taste. My latte was made with Stamp Act Coffee, and I really enjoyed its clean, smooth, and naturally rich flavor. You can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. For breakfast, we paired our coffees with a croissant and the pumpkin nutty bread. Both were decent and convenient for a quick breakfast, though the coffee was definitely the highlight of our visit. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood café with excellent coffee to start your day, this is a great spot to check out.

And a shoutout to the server for toasting my scone. It came out warm, not dry, not too cheesy, just how I like it. Matcha latte w/ almond milk was alright, knowing this can't be compared to what I can get at tea cafes. I love how they make this place green w/ all sorts of indoor plants. Plants do light up the area and mood given that Seattle can be so gloomy around this time. Def coming back if I'm in the area again.

I hope this review deters many people away hoping to get a decent matcha here so I can save you the hassle of trying to find parking just to pay $9 for this sad excuse of a drink. We ordered their regular matcha latte and banana matcha latte both with oat milk. Right off the bat just looking at the top I knew it wasn't going to be good. Sometimes color can be deceiving so I still had some hope but the amount of foam that was sitting on the top wasn't helping its case. The matcha was powdery and tasted extremely presweetened, I would liken it to the old starbucks matcha before their recent upgrade. The banana matcha was not any better, it tasted super artificial and like a kid was bored and decided to mix a melted leftover matcha drink and banana milk. No, I did not just go on a bad day, I've been to enough shops to know the difference between purely bad technique and just straight up bad matcha. I heard the owners have changed recently so maybe that has something to do with it but the amount of cafes trying to hop on the matcha trend just to serve half attempted concoctions like this is really not it.

It was such a warm and cozy cafe, and they had such a unique menu of offerings. Service was efficient and they were helpful. We all ordered the special latte - pistachio cardamom.

I also think it has the best coffee in Greater Fremont. (Sorry, Milstead.) They roast their own beans and do a great job. I appreciate the Italian dark-roast style, which is less tart than most. The space is bright, crisp, and clean, with a great corner location and excellent outdoor seating, when sun permits. Fremont Roasters and Vita are both Upper Fremont institutions. This is the fancier one.
