When we arrived there was a line wrapped around the counter. Within 5 minutes we were rung up! Super efficient service & friendly-- we got nooo attitude about asking on an item on the menu which was so appreciated. The ambiance is great open doors, lots of greenery, chairs/tables and outlets. It's a great spot. We were really impressed with the quality of this fast paced bakery, the accolades well deserved indeed and friendly service to boot!

Fresh Flours has very quickly become my absolute favorite coffeehouse in Seattle. The pastry selection is something that dreams are made of, I am never able to decide on just one (luckily the staff are always so lovely and patient with me). As a pastry lover, I love a morning pastry, but more often than not if a cafe has incredible pastries, the coffee drinks are something to be desired...well, NOT HERE!!! No more sacrificing yummy coffee for a beautiful pastry or vice versa :) My partner doesn't always enjoy sweets for breakfast, so she has gotten the breakfast tacos and they usually never even make it out the door. On top of all of their delightful wares and treats, the staff is incredibly kind, they make the vibes so cozy and comfortable (and I'm never made to feel bad for my indecisiveness!!). The lattes are always perfectly steamed :) If you've been sleeping on Fresh Flours, do yourself a favor, stop in and treat yourself to some cozy goodness! (And don't worry about not being able to choose, because you will inevitably & miraculously find yourself back there sooner rather than later!!)

I have never had a vegan breakfast burrito but fresh flour's was awesome. Exploding with flavor and honestly didn't miss the meat. Service was ok but a little slow, maybe because of the holidays. Otherwise it was good. It's popular with the locals. Check it out

Everything was delicious! I could smell the warm pastries from half a block away. Fast and friendly service, even on a busy holiday today. I had the onion and Swiss croissant and a vanilla latte. The croissant was like French onion soup but just in a solid format! Absolutely incredible. I'll be back soon. Parking is a bit of a challenge in this area, but if you're willing to walk a block or two you'll be fine.

How I heard of this place: We were in search of a gluten-free bakery many years back and came across Fresh Flours. It had been a long time since our last visit, so we decided to give it another go! Type of cuisine: Coffee and pastries, plus a selection of breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos and other packaged goods. Ambiance: A corner space with much foot traffic near the Woodland Park Zoo, the space is quaint and warm. Seating on either side as you enter, with more tables stuck in a small space to the right and back tucked behind the order counter. In the front, a small bench graces the window facing the street and sidewalk, which also shares a small patio-like space with outdoor seating options. Pastries are packed in a small display area, but all look enticing and ready to devour. Baristas and staff are friendly and welcoming and help create the comfortable vibe of Fresh Flours. What I ordered: A mocha for me, and a small caramel sauce steamed milk with a blueberry danish for my dining companion. What I loved: The blueberry danish was tasty and simple. The mocha was made with a lovely dark chocolate, not too sweet, but perfectly balanced with the espresso. Why I loved it: Chatting with locals, neighbors and set in a space that feels like everyone is a regular. Cost: Average

I arrived here around 9:30am on a Friday. I really did not expect this place to be busy but the availability of seat inside were limited (yes it was that busy). They also have some outdoor seating available though. By the time I left around noon, more seats were available but I think it filled up as other people arrived. I ordered the Peach Danish and hot chocolate. Then on the way out, I had to get their croissant. -Peach danish: 5 stars. It was delicious. I was not planning to eat it right away but one bite became 5 then I ended up finishing it. The dough was just so authentic and one of the best (if not the best) I've tried in Seattle: buttery and the layers where just perfect. -hot chocolate : 4 stars? I didn't really care for it. Just hot chocolate too special about it. -croissant: 5 stars. Just as good as the peach danish minus the peach. Definitely recommend their croissant or danish pastry. They are really good at this type of dough. I would say that this is the closest to a French pastry I've been in WA when it comes to their croissant dough.

One of my top 5 places in Seattle for pastries, they usually have 10-14 different kinds of pastries left at lunchtime on weekends. Today I tried the ham & cheese croissant (4/5 stars because it was dough-y around the ham), the pecan pull-apart (easily 5/5 stars, loved it!!), and the Mt Bakon taco (solid 5/5 stars, would happily order again). Ambiance was crowded as always - the line was long, and they don't have enough seating, but they don't have any more room! Staff were nice, helpful when I asked questions, and the service was quick. For the three items I spent about $17 with tax.

The food here is pretty solid especially being close to the woodland zoo. Coffee is great here. Try out the matcha latte, the flavors really mix together well and is delicious. All the pastry on the counter looks delicious. I also tried the sunrise burrito which is premade and warmed up. The insides of mine came a bit cold or not fully hot but isn't wasn't too bad. Also got the startup which is a egg sandwich which I would recommend. I think the picking up process is a bit confusing and it's too easy to take the wrong order. I think something like calling names for the order would really ease the confusion rather than just calling out the drinks especially for people like me who have never been and know the menu. Overall a tasty place though!

Seattle is filled with coffee shops and bakeries, and my eyes and my bank account are on two different budgets. We'll talk about that later... Anways, Fresh Flours! Started by two Japanese friends, their menu features fresh laminated pastries with a hint of Asian flavors. I got their blackberry danish with an oat milk cappuccino. The danish was heavenly. Flaky, airy, and not dense, it was everything a danish should be. The blackberry custard/jam was sweet and tart, a creamy contrast to the flaky pastry. The coffee was a bit light in my opinion, and I wished it was stronger. Service was okay, not the most friendly, but it was still professional and as it should be. There are better coffee options in Seattle, and I would come here for pastries next time!

Stephanie C.

This one isn't nearly as comfortable as its SLU location. I was a bit disappointed with its outdated furniture and worn string-woven chairs. The coffee and food quality is about the same, with a few more options from the fridge. I would treat it as a convenient neighborhood coffee shop and not somewhere I would take someone to.

Danica S.

Delicious pastries and coffee! This was my first visit, and I'll admit it was pretty overwhelming. So many options and the line was long but moved quickly. I let a few people go ahead of me while I dealt with my indecisiveness. Finally decided on a swiss and onion croissant, oat milk latte, peanut butter and a chocolate cookie. The latte was smooth and the perfect temperature. The croissant was flaky and full of flavor. It was so good I forced myself to eat it much slower than norm. Who cares about onion breath; it was so worth it! Of all the items purchased, this is one I'll surely return for! The peanut butter cookie was rolled in sugar - a little too sweet for me, but oh how I loved the addition of chopped peanuts. The chocolate cookie was rich and again too sweet for my taste. The customer service was great, the space is small, but there's plenty of neighborhood parking. My friend and I met on a Saturday mid morning and there was no seating available however, the neighborhood is walkable, so we took our goodies to go. I shall return to try each and every croissant option you have!

Dropped by around 9:20A on Friday morning and the place was pretty busy with good traffic flow in and out. Ordered a mint matcha and a basque cake. Really enjoyed the mint matcha--good balance of flavors, on the sweeter side. They have an 8oz size that was perfect. The basque cake was nice in texture with a strong crust but quite plain in flavor. Would personally skip it next time.

Cara T.

I'm so lucky that this is my neighborhood cafe - it's wonderful! Their pastry case must be one of the most heavenly things on earth! Never pass up a yummy danish or an onion swiss croissant. The employees are always super friendly, there's usually a nice spot to sit, there's always a dog to pet, and they make a damn fine latte. It's a great neighborhood place, and my personal favorite coffeehouse.

This is my go to cafe in the phinney area. I first discovered this cafe in college - started as a place to get coffee with a date outside of the U district and soon became a study spot. Street parking is plentiful and free. Nice, quiet and charming ambience. Friendly staff and dog friendly :) Excellent pastries! I love their azuki bean green tea muffin. Their pastries have a Japanese-French fusion.Good coffee (they also sell bags of stumptown coffee) and very good place to grab a tea (ask for the tea list) with a light lunch! This neighborhood is very walkable and quiet. Also near the woodland park zoo! read more

I can't believe it took me so long to finally come here after my friend suggested this place! There is an amazing selection of baked goods. I had the strawberry rhubarb galette per the recommendation from one of the employees, and it was superb. The latte I ordered was also great. I also liked that there was a decent amount of space for studying and doing work, plus there were plenty of outlets available! Unlike some other coffee shops I've been to, the wifi was unlimited and of good quality! Highly recommend! read more

Fresh Flours is a cute little neighborhood coffee shop. The Stumptown espresso drinks were made perfectly and the pastry selection seemed reasonable. I would have liked a bit more novelty given that the shop does have flour in the name and several of the muffins seemed like the standard line carried in several local coffee shops, but still mostly adequate. Service was generally quick and quite friendly. The layout was a bit cozy, especially when several people were waiting for drinks to be made a didn't have anywhere to stand other than in the seating area, but they seemed to be making do the best they could with the space they had. All together a great option for coffee in the Phinney area. read more

I do not drink coffee, just tea, which is one of the reasons I loved Fresh Flours. It is always refreshing for a tea drinker to come to a coffee shop that clearly tries hard to have delicious, thoughtful tea available. On top of this their muffins are delicious. I got the Green-tea and adzuki (?) bean muffin and was not disappointed. It tasted like green-tea ice cream and was just the right level of sweetness! My fiance got a poached apple danish/tart thingy. "It had a lot of delicious things going on, like pistachio and cream and the crust was awesome!" So all around a great place to go, I will definitely going back! read more

I stopped by this place before going to an airport. I wanted to try their Japanese style bakery and sweets. The lady at the cafe was very nice, recommending a few good items. All of them were very tasty. This is the place you can get same stuff or better without being in Japan! Especially, Meron pan, Anpan, Azuki bar were really good! In addition, she showed me the quickest way to an airport. My map shows over an hour because of the I-5 traffic but her direction took us the airport less than an hour. I will definitely come back!

I love their quiche! This is the perfect place to go for a little, affordable, scrumptious weekend breakfast . The baked goods have a definite Japanese influence, which allows me to pretend I'm sticking to my Okinawa diet as I scarf down a delicious kabocha pumkin, pecan & white chocolate muffin. The space is relaxed enough that I feel like I can hang out and read for a good long time without feeling like I'm taking up too much space. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is due to the slightly sterile atmosphere which is probably unavoidable when you're occupying the first floor of a new condo development. read more

The baked goods have a Japanese influence. They are not too sweet, for instance the lemon ginger muffin is perfectly tangy and balanced with real ginger pieces, and I like to the think of the pear tart as more of a serving of fruit rather than a dessert (of course this is more for my own conscience, but whatever). The coffee is pretty and on the strong side, there are nice folks working there, and it's not pretentious. What else can I say: GO THERE. read more

I frequent this place alot, and for some reason I have yet to try their Asian inspired sweets. I have been on a Chocolate Chip Cookie kick lately, so I usually get those, and I have to say, that they arent too impressive. I think that the nuts were rancid in my last one. (I am also not a big nuts in baked goods person) anyway, that said, the shortbread cookies were delish. I liked the sesame seed one the best and the chocolate one was pretty good too. didnt really like the green tea one at all...and I love green tea. I do like this place alot though. they have good green tea lattes, and they sell the mix so you can make your own at home too. and, the pastries look tasty. one of these days, I will break my cookie fetish and try one. read more

Fresh Flours (hold on, can we just appreciate the name for second? It's so witty!) is the closest coffee place to my work, so that means on crazy days - or days when I need to be crazy - this is my go-to place for that extra dose of caffeine! And can I say, they always deliver! They have your basic selections of coffee choices (drip, lattes, mochas, teas, etc.), which are delicious, but the pastry choices are bananas!! Oh, they sell those too! Come in during the mornings and there is a mound of pastries waiting for you. Literally, A MOUND! And they're all delicious! The ambiance is super chill, with plenty of natural light coming in, which is great on those rainy Seattle days. They have art from local artists throughout the space, which totally makes my heart happy. Support your local artists people! Needless to say, I'm not the first give this place raving reviews, check it out for yourself! They're delicious, friendly, quick - even with crazy lines - and just an overall awesome place to get a quick bite or to do work. LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be back to try some drinks!

It came with two perfectly cooked eggs and two pieces of house-made pita. At $18, it was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. We couldn't finish the Mushroom Toast, so we took it home and had it the next day. It actually reheated very well and still tasted delicious. Overall, this café has a lovely atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating, making it a great place to gather with friends. The food was enjoyable, but the prices felt a bit on the high side for what was served. I'd be open to coming back if I were in the area, though it wouldn't be at the top of my recommendation list.

The person who took my order also prepared my order. The soup was slimy and had a strange smell. The grilled cheese sandwich was soggy from the excessive sauerkraut on top and the size.

I also got a tofu sandwich and it's literally raw tofu thinly sliced and looks absolutely anemic. I would never recommend this cafe to anyone due to the cleanliness, food quality, and lack of care for flavor.

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!

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.

We were thrilled to discover it's new management's plans and community, service oriented nature - not to mention their excellent breakfast sandwiches and good beverages! Type of cuisine: Cafe fare - espresso beverages, as well as non-caffeinated items for kids and those who prefer not to partake. Breakfast sandwiches, burritos, pastries. Ambiance: Large, expansive and spacious. There is a small patio with outdoor seating available, should you prefer to dine facing Aurora's traffic congestion. But inside, office furniture helps create separte-feeling booth-like seating with small coffee/end tables for your purchases. Large tables, too, conference sized grace the main space for those wishing to work alone on devices, or engage in conversation among friends and family. An open area also exists, accounting for about one-third of the entire room, which allows for gathering while standing, as well as providing ample space for lines to grow and distance to be maintained (covid-safe). What I ordered: On most ever visit, I stick with my favorites: the bacon breakfast sandwich (if you like the bacon crispy, as that it be cooked out of the sandwich and alongside then placed inside), the sweet potato scone, the sausauge breakfast sandwich and the slightly spicy, vegan potato, bean burrito. My beverage of choice is the Melanin Mocha (dark chocolate moch), though I've also ordered the blackberry mocha, and a couple of others. My husband always sticks with The Karen (white chocolate mocha), while our children enjoy a cup of steamed milk with caramel sauce, whipped cream and sprinkles with their food. What I loved: Everything about this place; namely its mission and complete devotion to the youth and community. Empowerment is strong in this space and the food and drinks are a bonus that amplify and support the work being done. Why I loved it: For all of the reasons listed above - and more. Cost: Average

I originally wanted a double chocolate croissant, but…read morethey were out of it when we arrived, so I went with a chocolate croissant and a latte instead. I asked for my order "for here," but it was still served in a disposable cup, which was disappointing if I wanted it to go, I would have said so. It's frustrating that you have to specifically ask for a proper mug these days. The croissant was just okay not bad, but not particularly good either. The chocolate itself was nice, but the sugar glaze made it a bit too sweet for my taste. The service also felt a bit uninterested. Overall, I don't think I'd return. Just a note for cafes: if someone asks for their order "for here," serving it in an actual mug or cup really adds to the experience that's part of why people visit. The coffee itself was underwhelming, so I'd rate this lower mainly due to the overall experience.

What really sealed it for me, though, was an experience my family and I had recently. My dad was placing an order for Saturday morning pickup so I could bring everything to Whidbey Island for Easter brunch. He had a few questions, and the owner personally called him back right away--even while they were in New York visiting family. Not only that, but they made a point to leave a special note for their staff allowing me to pick up the order later in the morning so I could "sleep in." Normally, pickups have to happen within 15 minutes because of how in-demand their pastries are, so this was incredibly thoughtful. It genuinely made all of us smile. That level of care and consideration--especially while they were across the country with their own family--says everything about the kind of people they are. Truly above and beyond.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

I stop by here about 4 times a week for the past 6 months. The coffee is very good and most of the people are friendly. The wait is generally short and there is plenty of room to sit. The outside seating was a bonus this summer. My favorite thing about the place is the pastries. A lot of coffee shops have the same old delivered products. But I've like just about everything I've tried here (about 10 items). The peach danish is AMAZING, and I order it regularly (probably too regular for my waistline...) The ham and cheese croissant is the only one I've found that had a decent amount of ham and cheese. My only negative is I wish they had some more healthy options to balance that peach danish.... but overall a great place. read more
