    Northern lights - Matcha late with ube cold foam & green tea chai. Both excellent
    Kayleigh W.

    We love Vulpine Taproom but hadn't been back in about a year, so seeing The Burrow next door, we had to come in! We arrived at 8:30am on a Friday and walked right up to the register. One person was working, so we waited a short time while they made a couple drinks before taking our orders. The matcha with one cold foam was the best one my partner has had on his hunt for the perfect matcha (he's had ~10 at this point). My green tea chai was also yummy. We ordered biscuit sandwiches and enjoyed those as well. We stuck around and worked for a couple hours; there were a few outlets to use throughout the cafe. The Burrow vibe is just as nice as the taproom one. The busiest the line got was around 5 people, and by that time there were two people working behind the counter.

    Biscuit & Gravy with Sausage Gravy
    Aimee G.

    Very cute cafe in Lake Forest Park. Friendly staff and clean inside. There are a lot of seating indoors and some outside as well. There's plenty of free parking too in the shopping center. Ordered the biscuit with sausage gravy. The biscuit is from Biscuit and Bean. It was perfectly toasted, and the sausage gravy was very flavorful. Would totally come back.

    Every sandwich came out on a buttermilk biscuit!!! I had the Katy Purrrryyyyyy. Soooo good! I had a good cappucino. We missed the Shakshuka, but will try again next time!!

    Mushroom Biscuit and Gravy
    Yurim Y.

    I wanted to love this place since it's near my hood and got such great reviews. The food looks pretty but taste of things are off. The quality of the pastry and the Bostock was meh. Not much flavor or not great texture. As the service was forgettable. It's order at the counter like a coffee place. My friend ordered after me but got his drink first so I asked about mine. They forgot my order. We got our food and I realized they forgot the Bostock. Got the cold brew and it was not good. Weird sour, acidic, fizzy taste. I took it back and they said it was nitro is why. I've had nitro cold brew before and it's usually smooth, deep and good. I got a cortada instead and again their coffee has weird sour, bad undertones. I didn't drink it after few sips. Mushroom biscuits and gravy flavor was good. My friend shasuka was not great because they don't have a kitchen but works heats and cooks things in piece meal equipment, he said the eggs was strange. Not fully baked and integrated into the tomatoey sauce. Sorry won't be back.

    16oz mocha (1/30/25)

    Thank you fellow Yelpers for putting The Burrow on my radar screen! After a car appointment this morning, I decided to check it out (1/30/25). The Burrow is located at The Town Center at Lake Forest Park, adjacent to Vulpine Taproom (21+), and proximate to Lake Forest Bar & Grill. I add this because my gps had me on a crazy route. Duh, I'm here often enough due to Third Place Books! Anyways, this is a definite find. Pleasant overhead music, eye catching mural and art work throughout, and handcrafted tables and chairs. There are various comfy seating areas. Transforming this spot after the previous business left definitely created an inviting, welcoming destination. Clearly a neighborhood spot for meetups with lively convos, plus room for the laptop crowd, a place to read/write, and folks like me who just spontaneously drop by. Tasty 16oz mocha and orange cardamon slice from The Cottage, Community Bakery! Note: *Business hours Thurs/Fri 8am-3pm, Sat/Sun 9am-3pm. *Cafe food items served until 2pm. *The adjacent Vulpine Taproom (21+) opens at 3pm. Great local indie, but without the long line at nearby Honey Bear Bakery & Cafe.

    "The Classic" egg sandwich with bacon. Iced mocha.
    Hernan C.

    I ordered "The Classic" egg sandwich (with bacon) and iced mocha. It was absolutely fantastic! The ingredients taste fresh and well curated--I could tell somebody(s) cared enough to sit down to taste everything. The mocha was delicious. To be honest, I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but the coffee flavor is unique and apparent, without being bitter. It's lightly on the sweeter side compared to other mochas I've had, it's how I personally like it. Not a ton of food options, but I'll take quality over quantity. Indoor was clean and nice.

    I ordered the Bearly Awake and my daughter got a blueberry Italian soda. They make the blueberry syrup in house!

    Love the ambiance. Has a chill welcoming feel. Service is great. I appreciate staff that is willing to help me figure out what to get and introduce me to something new and delicious.

    Fantastic service and an excellent feel to the interior. Lovely place to sit and visit with my son and enjoy some food and a wonderful beverage.

    Have been the biggest fans of Vulpine Taproom in Lake Forest Park. To us, Vulpine is a hybrid of the cafe in Friends and a modern take on Cheers where everyone knows your name. The same owners (a very creative and fun team) are adding a sister cafe next door called "The BURROW" serving coffees and breakfast/brunch. We visited on one of their soft opening days on Dec 28th. This is an absolutely gorgeous space full of arts from local artists and hand-crafted furnitures. It feels as though walking into a gallery where one could relax with a drink (or more) and chit chat with the really cool friendly and knowledgeable staff. While we were there, several families were enjoying afternoon coffees/hot chocolates as well as snacks/beers from Vulpine next door. What an amazing vibe! Very much looking forward to visiting again on their Grand Opening day (Jan 3). They are still finishing the space and we can't wait to gather here with our friends!

    Bench seating and wall art
    Marvin G.

    Bran new in Lake Forest Park. seating is abundant and comfortable. they have a big table for large parties, a set of comfy seats for the readers/laptop workers, and really cute decor including a big tree and a mural of a fox, and some wall art. Their pour-over coffee and cold brew is made with a very good quality roast and they have a variety of flavor profiles for coffee connosuers. One of their custom drinks is the fennec sunrise, which is a latte with lemon, tumeric, and cayanne, which very much compliments the espresso without being oppressively sweet- this one's amazing and i haven't found anything similar around here. a cute little robot makes the pourover helping wait times. The service is quick and polite and they've created an environment that's safe for families, all people, LGTBQ, and game-players. A good place to hang out and stay a while!

As said the service was fine but the food - hearth roasted mushroom frittata and breakfast burrito - was decidedly bland and under seasoned. Frittata was covered with an excessive mound of arugula. While peppery, it's asking a lot of arugula to carry/cover for a bland unseasoned water bath baked egg concoction with minimal caramelized onions and flavorless mushrooms. Desperately needs some herbs, garlic or strong cheese, some crisp edges... something. A side of chicken apple sausage was just okay. Breakfast burrito was disappointing in its own ways. Tortilla was gelatinously clinging together as if it had been prepared in advance, then reheated, and covered in what was called salsa but was more akin to basic excessively mild tomato enchilada sauce. The carnitas pork was unseasoned and dry. Potatoes were soft and lacking a crisp element that would have helped immensely. The only place salt seemed to show up was in the salted maple latte and in that it was a bit heavy. Likely not stopping back anytime soon.

But first, coffee and breakfast. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which consists of a croissant, egg, lettuce, tomato, mayo and I added bacon for an extra charge. It was solid, with the roasted/warmed up croissant and was filling. I also liked that they had Victrola coffee, which I ordered a drip of. Strong coffee = no complaints. In addition to their made-to-order food items, like the breakfast sandwich, they also have pastries in the case and a full coffee and tea menu. It's nice to have this cafe in the Lake Forest shopping center with plenty of seats around, next to many other businesses and tons of parking nearby. I dig the convenience of it all.

My brother, who also lives and works in the area, tells me constantly how awful the customer service is there when you order food- to the point where he refuses to go. I'm celiac and can't eat anything over there so I hadn't ever experienced what I did today. Today we're at the bookstore together and I decided we need to make a coffee stop. My brother, Loren, orders a sandwich. He says he needs it to go. Person at the register is pleasant enough. I order a coffee separately and am quickly served. We wait a bit for the sandwich, and we finally go up to the counter after maybe ten minutes and see the same sandwich he ordered sitting in a basket. It has a ticket on it that says "Owen." Easy mistake, really. He says, "Is this maybe Loren's?" And the person behind the counter immediately snaps "it says Owen." Okay. So we wait a few more minutes. We're now 15 minutes out and several people who ordered after us are served. He steps up and say "hey, I ordered a BLTA on sourdough for Loren, I think it may have been put in under Owen, but-" and before he can finish his thought they snap back at him again "it's probably yours because this one hasn't been picked up." At this point he's like, "okay, I ordered mine to go- could I-" and the girl behind the counter slams a box on the counter and says "here's a box." And turns away. I'm annoyed, because while I understand we have inconvenienced you, who is standing here chatting with an off-duty coworker for 30 minutes, we literally did nothing to deserve the attitude. Loren scoops the sandwich out of the basket and puts it into the box and this girl has the nerve to turn around and say "dirty dishes go behind you at the service bar." Oh, so now we have to bus YOUR hand-off bar, too? No sorry, no thank you, not even the offer to box up his food or put away the freaking basket. Is it because Loren is very clearly not white? Or is it because this lady today had a bad day and took it out on someone for interrupting her mid-shift gossip about how the mall security is full of idiots who don't do their job? Go ahead and take a gamble and let me know, because I won't be back.

    Time to update another Yelp post since my previous visit to Seatango Foods was back on 6/1/21. On…read moremy way to Bothell via Lake City Way to Hwy 522, I was able to snag a parking lot close to Seatango (3/27/26). Walking in, it was nice to see the space reconfigured to allow more kitchen and pastry case space. Plus the interior is a lot more warmer with wall color and vibrant art work which is enhanced by the natural light. This makes for a more pleasant dining area. I was kind of overwhelmed with the immense selection and variety in the wrap around pastry case. I'm glad that the counter person was patient with me as I seriously gave consideration since clearly I can't say - one of each please, lol. I ended up exercising restraint and selected two ham and cheese empanadas with chimichurri and two chocolate covered chocolate alfajores with dulce de leche as takeout. The Homie ate one empanada with chimichurri later that day. I ate mine the next day with the remaining chimichurri. We can both attest that the quality has remained despite the near five year hiatus. The alfajores also was delicious, no surprise there. Next visit, I'm going to inquire further about the assortment of pastries in the front pastry case. There was no individual signage displayed during my visit. Again, glad to see another indie business survive post-pandemic and during these challenging economic times.

Moons ago, my friend and I drove across one state to hunt for empanadas --- that's how badly we wanted one. Seattle -- you don't have to work that hard. "LOVE" is real close by! WESTERN WA & BEYOND: Go to LAKE CITY for the most SAVORY & SWEET empanadas!! The empanadas are HUGE but most of all, DELICIOUS! Walk in, take in the glorious aromas! Breathe it in. It's pure joy! We eat with our eyes. I was mesmerized by the baked good display. It is a very thoughtful, organized and wonderfully presented food items presentation. So much love goes into making these baked delights! Still, that's not where it ends-- look at my pictures. There are many goodies to choose from. Don't drool too hard. Just get there and order a box of many! This place has an OLD WORLD CHARM. In a small way, I fell in love with the decorations, colors, the smell of warm sugar, the space ... I talked the few customers present. Every person said roughly the same thing, "TRY EVERYTHING. You can't go wrong. It's all amazing. Sweet or savory. No matter." Everything is HAND-MADE. The bakery is small but the space, display, warm and welcoming. I found street parking -- no problem. I was waiting for my dog to get bathed and groomed nearby. Found myself wanting a snack. Just needed a little something to hold me over until a real meal. Had no idea that my beef [there is also chicken, many more flavors] empanada is a MEAL in itself. The man who waits on you knows his products very well even though it takes a few seconds for him to WARM UP to you. Still, he is a wonderful, friendly & hard working man. An amazing shop speaks for itself when you walk in. I'd drive across state lines to eat at SEATANGO! Try it and see how you like it. I suspect, like any place -- going OFF PEAK times will garnish you more attention by the wait staff. Still, don't wait to go. Go to Seatango now ... no regrets! PS -- Please Understand. This is my first time ever giving a WA bakery 5 stars.
