    Mitten Sweets & Coffee is a cute neighborhood bakery near Capitol Hill. The bakery features a cozy aesthetic, creative pastries, and kind staff. We enjoyed the ube tart and the hojicha dark chocolate, and appreciated the complimentary sample included with our order. Seating inside is limited, as is street parking nearby. Their Instagram page is also pretty and worth a look.

    Really small but super cute shop! Lots of super yummy looking pastries. We stopped for a wuick pick me up after playing tennis at the courts right across the street and got a paris brest (good cream, good choux) and a hojicha chocolate. I looooove hojicha so naturally I really liked the hojicha chocolate a deep, rich, and so warm and soothing.

    Always friendly and helpful customer service. I can't help but always get the Shikuwasa soda when I visit. Grabbed a late lunch yesterday before an event tried the salmon quiche the arugula salad was a nice surprise I thought I was only going to get a slice of quiche. was delicious and just what I needed. Limited indoor seating with a few stools at counters. They do have a couple tables outside you can enjoy your treats at. Always enjoy stopping by when I'm near. Also picked up a warabi mochi and a hojicha tiramisu for a friend

    This is a small Asian dessert cafe with a variety of drinks and desserts. Indoor has 3 sections of seatings, and outdoor has 2 tables. The service is great and I enjoy their drinks and desserts. It's one of the best dessert places I like to go in the area, my personal favorites are the cake slices in boxes.

    Cold case stocked with some of the best cake I've ever had

    I've gotten several things here, including two birthday cakes, and every single item I have gotten here has been an absolute delight. The cream puffs are my go-to, the chocolate gateau is a decadent treat, and I cannot foresee myself wanting a birthday cake from anywhere else ever again. The storefront itself is a small, but airy, and well decorated place. There are a few tables out front, and a few seats indoors. I've generally gotten my goodies to go, and they have held up fine, even if not eaten until hours later (which is probably not what they recommend). The staff have been very friendly every time I've gone. It is a pricey treat, not an every-day place to stop, although I would love it if I was in a situation to make this an everyday stop. The taste and textures of their goodies, and the friendly staff, absolutely make up for the price in my opinion, but I'd rather pay more for excellent pastries, than pay less for mediocre ones.

    Service was wonderful!!!! Thoughtful ppl working there. Food is excellent! It's Japanese style. It's not too sweet. Very crafty and beautiful presentation. Price bit expensive but it worth every penny you spend here! Ambience is calm and peaceful. It reminds me my hometown cafe. Will go back 100%!!!!!!

    The service was amazing and friendly. The vibe was comforting. The food was very unique. The quiche was delicious

    Black Sesame Cube Donut
    Helen C.

    I REALLY wanted to like this place, but I really got SO many items and all but one were a complete miss for me. What makes that extra sad is that the items here are extremely pricy and I just think a bad product at that price is a real bummer. Black Sesame Cube Donut (1.75/5): This isn't a donut; it's a dense, dry muffin, not a fluffy dough at all. The black sesame inside is a grainy paste baked in rather than a cream. Flavor is fine, but misleading and not the best mouthfeel. Vanilla Cream Puff (2.75/5): The shell I got was stale in spite of the fact that they fill it to order, which is a real shame because the cream inside has a fantastic, luscious texture and strong vanilla flavor. On top of that, it's 8 bucks and just made me wish I had Beard Papa's instead. Yuzu Cheesecake (4/5): Best item I tried: great tart flavor, but I actually wish there was more cheese flavor or even just creaminess in it. Super smooth all the way through and melt in your mouth. Kyoto (1.75/5): The flavors aren't bad, but the textures are ROUGH. Insanely dense, dry cake with ganache so thick it's a brick. This is just not my favorite. Acceptable with tea. Hojicha Financier (0.5/5): I love financiers and this was SOOO DRY. Like genuinely chewing sand in a block shape.

    Quick service. Was impressed with the offerings. Yuzu flavor paired well with the chocolate and the shikawasa soda was unique yet pleasant.

    Absolutely enjoyed our quick stop at Mitten! It is such a quaint and lovely little place for sweets filled with Japanese flavors. Everything looked so appealing but we had to settle on a select few. Our favorites were the Chestnut Cake and Koto (hojicha cake). They are packed with flavor. Aside from their unique flavored sweets, they also do custom whole cakes which would make for a lovely treat for any event or party. We are looking to come back another time to satisfy our sweet tooth!

    Ube tart
    Richard U.

    I thought Mitten Sweets was going to be bakery that specializes in baked goods from the mitten shaped state-of-the-Michigan... I wasn't disappointed though. An Asian inspired little bakery that makes incredible tarts, cakes and things! As it is asian inspired none of the things are overly sweet. My favorite standard item is the ube tart! Just enough sweetness without going overboard. Today, also tried the orange tart and it was also amazing! I have not tried the coffee here but they sell beans from Cambria roasters which is one of my favorites. The location itself is in an out of the way place, tucked away next to the Seattle U. Athletics fields so its easy to miss! Check them out!

    I LOVE Mittens! It's been such a great addition to the central area. The yuzu lemon cake is my absolute favorite (I'm biased towards citrus flavors)! Don't miss out on their Father's Day box this weekend! Features: Seattle cake (espresso & orange), pistachio financier, caramel nut tart and more. We stopped by a few days ago and my husband was hesitant at first because there were a lot of items we hadn't tried and he didn't think he would enjoy it, but guess what? The caramel nut tart and passion fruit marshmallow turned out to be his favorites! It's fun to pick out a treat to try each day. The caramel coffee jelly was speaking to me this time and I'm so glad I finally tried it. If you love caramel coffee drinks, you should definitely try this!

    Caramel coffee jelly drink
    Torrie N.

    I visited again recently and am still such a fan! They have more food offerings than the last time I visited and also some different drinks too that appear to change seasonally! We had a caramel coffee jelly drink which was so good! Not too sweet (the caramel balanced well with the coffee jelly). I had the Koto last time (hojicha) so this time opted for the Kyoto -- same thing but strawberry matcha flavor. Sooo good! We also got the warabi mochi which was enjoyable as well. They've made some improvements to the interior to make it a bit more comfortable/home-y) which is nice! I still need to order a cake from here. Kind of glad this isn't closer to me or I'd be here every day!

She had wanted to visit for a long time after hearing so many good things about it, so this was the perfect opportunity. The café itself is bright, modern, and absolutely adorable. It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

They open later, 4pm during the week and 3pm on the weekends and open until midnight. Great place to get dessert and a drink. We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.

I don't normally like fruit pies but that's what I'll be ordering again. It's not too sour nor is it too sweet, everyone at the table agreed. It is the goldilocks of sweet and tartness for a fruit pie. Oh and definitely goes well with ice cream!

My only complaint is that it's so popular and the lines are so long it's more efficient to order your ice cream and sandwich together. But you gotta eat your ice cream first otherwise it'll melt! I appreciate having the human interaction with the cashier but a tablet system would be faster in this case I fear. We waited in line for 10min and it was about the same for our sandwiches to come out. The ice cream we were handed right away. 10/10 for the ice cream, no notes. I got the matcha and strawberry swirl with a hard chocolate shell on top. The homer sandwich was tasty and had a good spice to it - wish there was more sauce or mayo. The chicken was juicy but the bun and everything else felt dry and needed some sauce. There's some seating inside and also outdoor seating which is perfect on a summer day.

Inside, the space looked clean, and the staff was very kind and welcoming despite the constant rush. We tried the Gen Matcha and Hokkaido milk swirl, as well as the plain Hokkaido milk with MBR. Both were absolutely delicious! The Hokkaido milk is incredibly rich and creamy, and the matcha flavor was spot on. I also saw someone grab the creme brulee soft serve, it looked amazing, but we just didn't have the appetite for another dessert this time around. While the ice cream itself is genuinely great, it's definitely on the expensive side. When you combine the premium prices with the famously long wait times, it becomes a bit harder to justify. Overall, it's a fantastic once-in-a-while indulgence when you're craving top-tier soft serve, but the wait times keep it from being a regular go-to.
