    Pistachio Croissant
    Carol L.

    Great morning drop-by for some freshly baked pastries and hot coffee or for a comfy study or work session. George is a longstanding establishment in the university district serving up baked goods like the pistachio croissant, muffins, cookies, danishes, and more. I enjoyed my quick trip here on the way to the doctor's office! They also have free wifi and nice indoor seating to work inside.

    This place is so cute. Service was fast considering how busy it was. Friendly staff. I ordered Mexican mocha and it was beautiful and tasted amazing. I should have tried a pastry!

    I bit into my a la George croissant and couldn't help that said "mmm" out loud. It was delicious. The lady next to us took a sip of her latte and said this is a flavor I haven't experienced before and couldn't stop talking about how good it was to her friends. We came here to grab a quick bite and a coffee, we were not disappointed. The place is small but charming. The staff was welcoming. I wish this place was close to home for us because we would be regulars.

    YUMMY!

    A very cute little coffee shop. The coffee is delicious. The staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back.

    I was standing at the corner of Melrose & Pine on Capitol Hill. On a utility pole there was a U District Chow Down & Street Party poster. I added it to my calendar. The day of the event my friend and I took the light rail up to the U District. It's a cozy and warm cafe. Even though the line was out the door they kept up with the steady stream of orders. The lady at the register was friendly. I ordered a beverage and a pastry. She offered to warm the pastry up. The barista did a really nice job crafting my drink. High walkability score as it's near plenty of bus options and it's near the U District Light Rail Station.

    8oz mocha $5 and A la George - proscuitto & havarti croissant $7.50. Today is Croissant Day! (1/30/25)

    Sometimes spontaneous visits just happen. I had parked and stopped at the nearby Bank of America on 47th between University Way & Brooklyn and needed a spot to hangout afterwards for two hours before returning to UW campus (1/30/25). Behold George Coffee & Pastries! It is a pleasant cafe and quite the transformation from long time University Seafood and Poultry that shuttered back in December 2019 due to retirement. I was able to snag a counter stool by an enormous chalkboard. All the two & three top tables were occupied at the time. I opted for an 8oz mocha ($5) and an A la George, proscuitto & havarti croissant ($7.50) while onsite. Perfect for National Croissant Day! The cafe din was a bit much despite the pleasant overhead music. For me, not very condusive for focused writing. So I opted to catch up on Yelp/IG posts instead. Nice pocket cafe located further up The Ave.

    This new coffee place on the Ave has quickly become one of favorite cafes in Seattle! Their coffee is strong, and the inside of the cafe is very cute and homey. I've tried a cappuccino and an eggnog latte from here. The eggnog latte in particular is super tasty! Their espresso is smooth, strong and very well balanced; it's not acidic at all. I also got a pistachio croissant that I really enjoyed. It was flaky and buttery, but not too oily. The pastries are a little pricey, but they're pretty big so I think it's worth it. And the drinks are honestly reasonably priced, more so than I've seen at other cafes in Seattle. There are a few tables, so it's a good spot to come to if you need a place to talk or study, although it can get crowded. The staff here is also very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely keep coming back to George Coffee and Pastries!

    Best pastries in Seattle by far! Been coming here for years, the space is quite small but I think that adds to the charm :)

    GOOD! It's a very cute hidden cafe in U District with a few sitting inside and outside. They have seasonal drinks and tons of good pastries. They open until 6 PM for anyone who wants to work at a cafe for whole, and theres outlets! I recommend checking this cafe out.

    Devoured the whole thing in the timing i wrote this review. That says a lot. HAHA

    This has got to be the best chocolate croissant ive ever had in my life. Omg. I ate the whole thing. Its huge. I didnt expect much, but OMG. The little flaky sweet stuff on the top of the croissant like healed my soul and for whatever reason took away my nausea. This is magical. The coffee cake too make me want to wear cozy pjs and sit by the fire omg. OMG. Why is is this so good. If anyone knows the recipe LMKKKKK okay so overall yeah 10/10 would come back 10/10 would lick the plate if people werent watching and 10/10 for friendly informative staff. (She even asked if i wanted the corner piece or not for coffee cake, which i really appreciated!)

    Before coming to George's Coffee I was so bored by the pastry options from u district cafes and now I have access to some of the most fun pastries available by Georges Coffee. I got the hazelnut rhubarb croissant and it was perfectly flaky and sweet. I was skeptical about this flavor before trying it but after having it, I really enjoyed. I also loved the vibe from George's Coffee. They helped me with picking out my coffee and were generally friendly. My only complaint is that the area to pick up your coffee is extremely tight and so when transporting my coffee from the pick up area to add a lid, my coffee spilt :0 it's totally my fault but I think by moving tables around the cafe would be more accessible and less packed. I loved everything else though and will be back as soon as I get my next sweet treat craving... (which will be in the very near future)

    George's cafe climbs to the top of my list. The coffee is rich and thoughtfully crafted, made with care, love, and time. It's a hidden gem well worth the find. The ambiance and coffee speak for themselves. Even though the space is small, the atmosphere instantly feels warm and inviting. And the service is outstanding.

    If you like croissants and you've never been here... no you don't The raspberry croissant HIT THE SPOT for my pastry craving! The croissant itself was perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The raspberry filling tasted like real raspberries and not a sugary jam, so it wasn't overly sweet! The London fog was really nice as well, and I love how friendly the staff is! They bright my croissant to my table which was so sweet! It's a nice place to study (I personally brought a math practice test), read, or have an intimate conversation with a friend or date. I'm salty I didn't discover this gem sooner!

    I stumbled into Fuel Coffee & Books on a morning when the whole neighborhood was still buzzing from…read morea 5K race, so the place was packed. Like, "good luck finding a quiet corner" packed. But honestly? The energy worked. The staff was moving with that calm, unbothered flow only seasoned baristas have. Friendly, attentive, and somehow keeping the line moving without making anyone feel rushed. Respect. Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

I looked up their yelp page as well as their Instagram and knew I had to come just to get one of their lattes with their amazing foam art! They have a variety of waffles and sandwiches on the menu that seemed appetizing however because I got here after 3:30 the kitchen was closed but they have a variety of pre-made burritos and sandwiches that you could still buy. I love that they have a huge variety of non-dairy milks including soy which is my favorite. I wanted to get the turmeric latte however I mentioned that I couldn't wait to see the foam art and the Baristas told me that due to the light color of the latte, it would be difficult to see the foam art so I instead ordered the red velvet latte with soy and it was as delicious as it was cute! I also got the egg and sausage cheese burrito and it was chock full of eggs and sausage... very filling. The decor and seating options are plentiful upstairs and downstairs. They also have free pineapple infused water for guests to drink which I appreciate. Seems like a popular spot for UW students to do work as there are lots of outlets for their laptops.

I was surprised that the cake was so cheap around $4 but after the first bite, it tasted like it was from a Safeway bakery, which made me feel a bit scammed. The latte was a very light roast, so the coffee flavor was barely noticeable and it felt more like drinking hot milk. On the positive side, the servers were sweet and friendly. It took about 5-7 minutes to get our drinks, and the place was packed around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.
